This is one of those math questions which, now that I have read them, I really NEED to know the answer: does the ℂ-vector space of continuous functions ℝ→ℂ have

Le gouvernement français est en mode panique, ne sait absolument pas comment réagir, et choisit de faire n'importe quoi pour donner l'illusion de faire quelque chose d'utile. Quelques commentaires:

I'd like to address the “armchair epidemiologist” accusation that I've seen (not necessarily targeted at me) a number of times, e.g., in the fairly snarky thread https://twitter.com/joel_c_miller/status/1257553963756355584 (abou

Is it possible to use quantum mechanics to create a gadget with the following “paradoxical” properties?When used, the gadget creates a pair of thingies. On each thingy, one of three

I'd say there are two different approaches to understanding and modelling the way population heterogeneity affects the attack rate and/or herd immunity threshold for an epidemic: top-down or bottom-up. •1/19

Why the fck is the WHO saying this? I get that they want to discourage the “oh, let's just let everyone get infected” ‘policy’, but “no evidence” at all that

Let me try to explain a point which I think isn't widely known: in computing attack rates, the distribution of infectious contacts a person MAKES is less important than the

Let me explain why using models to simulate epidemics basically doesn't work when it comes to predicting the future (and why it doesn't mean models are useless). And also why

Je n'en peux plus de voir déferler les messages affirmant qu'on aurait dû confiner les Français plus tôt et qui oublient la moitié du tableau. Je ne sais pas si

Very interesting psychological experiment by @littmath below. Now I would like to try a variation on it: I will be posting the SAME poll, every day for, say, ten days.

OK, I'd like to raise the point and ask questions about what I think are the two possible main strategies for dealing with an epidemic:① stop it at all costs,②

OK, let me write a thread, with some numerical experiments, about the influence of the social graph structure on the attack rate of epidemics (attack rate = number of people
