Re:The Great Surrender: How We Gave Up and Let Covid Win on Thursday January 13, 2022 @11:27AM (#29922598)
how so?
Actually if you read the document and remove the phrase "white supremacy" I tend to agree with some of the conclusions. For example the section about procedural knowledge vs. conceptual is spot on. You don't need to be a human calculator to be good at math. Schools emphasize surface level understandings and almost never allow you to go deep on a topic.
Maybe emphasis on conceptual understanding vs. calculation is what we need to be driving at. Higher level math is not focused on getting exact answers. I always thought that starting out with set theory would be a better as it is the historical precursor calculus anyway. Most calculus courses seemed to be focused on the memorization of techniques that don't make much sense until you take an analysis course. Atleast set theory gives you a foundation for understanding probability which gives you a foundation for stats.

Was there a reliable test in Feb 2020 at the time of the WHO article?. Who is to say that they are reporting the numbers correctly? For most of Jan 2020, china claimed covid was mild and wasn't spread human to human (and the WHO backed them up for some time as well).
