The debate btwn @kprather88 & @DFisman and the WHO's Dr. Conly should become standard viewing for philosophy/history of science courses. Rarely has such stubborn adherence to scientific dogma plainly contradicted

It turns out the 80/20 rule applies to #COVID too, not just health care financing, where as few as 5-10% of infected patients are transmitting to 80% of the total

The lack of a resurgence in #COVID19 cases following the easing of lockdowns in several countries is intriguing. I'll take Switzerland as an example. The lockdown ended on May 11
