Today brings a bizarre news story from the @WSJ about how everyone is being mean to poor John Ioannidis because of his coronavirus contrarianism.
It& #39;s behind a paywall, but I& #39;ll bring you some of the highlights. https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-bearer-of-good-coronavirus-news-11587746176">https://www.wsj.com/articles/...

Yo dawg, we heard you like bounds so we put lower and upper bounds on your lower and upper bounds so you could bound when you bound....
(Also 1% morality or even the upper lower bound of 0.625% mortality is NOTHING LIKE seasonal flu)

Wait, are we talking about the same LA county where Ioannidis& #39;s collaborators did their seroprevalence study that they touted via press release but still haven& #39;t released to the scientific community?
Because maybe I& #39;m still hung up on the missing data from Ioannidis& #39;s SC study.

Already this year in New York City, the rate of COVID death for people 18-44 is 9 per 100,000. The *annual* suicide rate is 5.5 per 100,000 overall, and increases rather than decreasing with age so this is an overestimate for that age group.
Immature??? I& #39;ve been called a lot worse.
People don& #39;t find the Stanford study worrisome because the virus is easily transmitted. They find it worrisome because it is a methodological piece of shit.
