Fascinating, enlightening, frightening and depressing, all at once. Thanks.
But why is it still allowed to be called the “Russian” flu, don’tchya know its 2022?

tungsten must be going into tilt.
Interesting vid that talks about the modeling being used to help set policy on covid.
^^ This a great use of modelling. COVID has always been about math and most people are not that smrt.

"Why should I learn about statistics? I'll never use that! Teach me how to do a tax return!"
You mean put the number in that marked box in that field on the screen?
"YES. IMPOSSIBLE."
Year later.
"COVID IS A GOVERNMENT PLOT TO TAKE AWAY MY FREEDOM."
A 2-hour primer on how viruses and vaccines work and how public health decisions are made would have saved a lot of people a lot of grief and outrage. Knowing this stuff has helped keep my head level and my patience intact throughout this ordeal.
Knowing about population/extinction/disease/habitat collapse relationships though…fuuuuuck. We better hope there isn’t another one like this coming soon.

people weren't even smart enough to just drive to Victoria instead of all the way to Ottawa to protest Vaccine's
cuz the vaccine mandates are set in each province ... not it in Ottawa
Well, to be complete, the mandates for international travel into Canada are set by Ottawa, and that's what appeared to be the trigger for this whole debacle. But of course stupid people are stupid because other countries have similar mandates anyway, so the whole point is moot.

lol
If you mean the math of (moderna owned) patents predating the pandemic by several years, then yes.
If you mean the math of genetic code that's patented via those patents being recently found in covid, then sure, its about the arythmtic (obvious spelling mistake is obvious)
I can lol at all yall b/c i'm the stupid one here :D

It also comes back to the question that will probably always be debated. Are you wearing the mask and/or getting the vaccine to protect yourself or to protect others and our healthcare system? It can definitely be answered as 'both', but many people out there only see the self preservation side of things rather than being a positive asset to society.
How about thee ultimate question?
"Do I actually need it?"
