Given this discussion, this pre-proof essay from a science journal may be of interest to some: "On the evolutionary epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2"
Only fair for all to share the costs & benefits of ex-pat skills being added to our work-force, eh? Are they being added? The guy I saw interviewed was a lawyer who had been living in the UK for 4 years. He wanted to come back to attend some weddings. I ...
Throw evolutionary epidemiology into the mix and we really are still largely in the dark over SARS-CoV-2 . https://www.cell.com/current-biology/pdf/S0960-9822(20)30847-2. pdf Remove the space before "pdf" and copy the link if you want to follow it. For me ...
Perhaps it is also because funerals and weddings are more likely to draw in people from far and wide, making tracking and containment of any spread more difficult.
The odds are stacked. The article implies that herd immunity is not proven but then goes on to assume it is when assigning handicaps.
My first thought on reading this is that moral-coreless science is the one actually leading the charge against climate change while (a lot of) faith still struggles with ideas of dominion over the Earth and celestial rescue. But then maybe all the ...
Thinking about it, I have been careless in my use of terms for brevity sake. I was using the terms in the context as described here (https://www.medline.com/skin-health/evidence-based-vs-best-practice/): "Evidence-based practice is research-based practice ...
"it’s the twenty-first century, the age of “evidence-based medicine." Except it isn't. There has been a push the past couple of decades to put medicine on an evidence-based footing but so little of it still is. This is especially so in intensive/critical/...
I laughed listening to Boris say that he couldn't find the words to thank them. I think he should give 350 million pounds a week to the NHS as thanks instead.
I found the start of this kind of confusing. Does he really make a lot of assumptions ("probably", "about" "~", "-ish", "they're crude numbers", "in the right ballpark") and then say "they're no longer really hypotheticals"? Did he really extrapolate his ...
Anxieties about how to keep things clean?
All three supermarkets in my smallish Waikato town had stations dispensing hand wipes (alcohol based by the smell of it) as of a couple of days ago. No idea if it is just a local initiative or nationwide.

While we're on it, what effect from the rugby world cup final, either way? Parades of St George's Cross or wakes?

The study was published only on Oct 1, so it will take a little while for meaningful critiques/analyses to come out, and much longer for peer-reviewed, published articles. But in a way we don't need these. Look at the "Recommendations" section in the ...
Is this a case of Luxon Luxoff then?
That's creepy as hell. Who knew that Key and Luxon are played by the same person - Stephen Joyce.
Maybe it's a trend
My first impression was why did you link to the pop vox article and not the original one? Original article: "morally problematic" Vox: "We even use A/B tests here at Vox. If I have two headlines I really love for a story, I can arrange for different ...

I grew up on Benny Hill, Kenny Everett and Pam Ayres - how the f should I know? But seriously, I have no idea what your comment means beyond the vague impression you are having a go at me for some reason.

The loudmouths they wanted to shut up were not anti-neoliberals - they were fellow members of the Tory party.
"They should have made a clean break from the outset instead of all this pussyfooting around..." I don't know how they would have achieved that given that the referendum was called for party political purposes to try to appease the euro-sceptics that had ...
"...but I didn't swallow"

Does anyone smell another leak?
Do you know the leakin' man? The leakin' man, the leakin' man. Do you know the leakin' man who works in parliament? Yes, I know the leakin' man. The leakin' man, the leakin' man. Oh, yes, I know the leakin' man, who works in parliament. Then two of us know...
