For me personally there is something about letting words conjure an image in my head instead of relying on pictures. A good joke is funnier without a laughing emoji. And what's the point of emoji's in "but this journey is a marathon ️, not a sprint ️" sentence for example. For one, marathons are still run just slower.

No good reason for test errors to be uncorrelated, ie. quite possible same people who trigger false positives on the first test would be false positives on the second etc.

Just a hypothesis, but if being more frequently exposed makes it more likely that the disease will be more severe, then this is plausible. There is some evidence that e.g. doctors/nurses were more likely to die compared to their age cohort, possibly because of higher viral load.

Armanian Orthodox Church (est. 301) predates that slightly (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_the_Illuminator)

It's not a "dispute", no more than Holocaust was. You trying to make this some kind of argument that has two sides is an insult to me. Jewish people don't have to listen to Germans complaining how Jewish killed so many Germans in Warsaw. Turks drafted our men to "labor battalions", slaughtered them, and slaughtered remaining women and children. I have heard first hand stories of people who survived but lost most of their family. The pain is real, I can't look at it abstractly. And the nonsense about Armenian friends living in Turkey labeled traitors is nonsense. Armenians outside Turkey understand they live under an oppressive regime (see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_301_(Turkish_Penal_Cod...), and can be murdered any time by nationalists like Hrant Dink was so we don't expect them to be to vocal about Genocide.

Turkey needs to recognize the Genocide, instead it's putting all its effort into denial propaganda inside and outside Turkey. They even made Armenians not bringing it up a precondition for opening the border. Until Turkey can be honest Armenians will fight for truth to be preserved outside of Turkey. This may be an abstract issue for you but most Armenians today still are just one generation away from survivors and their stories. Should Armenians just let Turkey keep adding insult to injury? This is an article about an area where Armenians lived for millennia and there are none left by now, how did that happen?
