Neuroticism has been found to have a reliable negative association with g(r=-.33).[18] However, other researchers have recently reported a lower coefficient of .09 for general mental ability and emotional stability. Although these studies have some differences, they all indicate that intelligence increases with a decrease in negative emotion. �
An uncharitable(and I think also exaggerated and inaccurate) exploration of it is Conservatives Big on Fear, Brain Study Finds Someone who is consistently liberal but intelligent would be someone like Bill Gates, rather than a Trigglypuff which would self-identify as an extreme leftist.

Here we show that this functional correlate of political attitudes has a counterpart in brain structure. In a large sample of young adults, we related self-reported political attitudes to gray matter volume using structural MRI. We found that greater liberalism was associated with increased gray matter volume in the anterior cingulate cortex, whereas greater conservatism was associated with increased volume of the right amygdala.

You introduced the term tribalism … Let me refresh your memory:
#47 by DC: … higher IQ correlates both with less immediate feedback/dominance from the limbic system as well as less tribalism.
All I did was accurately identify SJW Elite 1% Globalism as a highly insular tribe. Being a member of the SJW Globalist tribe requires blind obedience to its articles of faith.
Hungary’s Orban is taking rational and restrained steps to protect his people from the stupid, yet highly aggressive, SJW Globalist tribe.
Someone who is consistently liberal but intelligent would be someone like Bill Gates
In any large tribal population, IQ will have a distribution. It is almost inevitable that there will be a few Higher IQ, SJW Globalists in the distribution tail. Gates and Soros are good examples.
However, the mean IQ for the SJW Globalists is abysmally low. One of the key dogmas of SJW Globalist, Elite 1% theology is Science Denial. As a result the SJW Globalist, Low IQ tribe is prone to over react with hysterical levels of emotion and propose irrational solutions that defy physical reality.
For example, SJW Globalist theology insists that high-availability hydrocarbon power can be economically replaced with intermittent/low-availability solar and wind power. Anyone with even an average level of intelligence can easily find multiple glaring flaws with this anti-science, dogmatic religious edict.
PEACE 😷
There's nothing wrong with the data set. Its how you're applying it; the essential question is "what is the general distribution of high IQ individuals," which slants a certain way due to how information is processed by brains. I linked you to some posts by our dear host which further discuss that - there's also demographic information from SSC, which is a fairly good hub of high IQ and interesting discussion worth following up on:

What I disagree with is rather that we should remove the tail ends where you'll find extremists and cultists of all sorts, and this is where the more meaningful attributes of more liberal attitudes and their advantages come into play.
Here we focus on pseudo-profound bullshit, which
consists of seemingly impressive assertions that are presented as true and meaningful but are actually vacuous. We presented
participants with bullshit statements consisting of buzzwords randomly organized into statements with syntactic structure but
no discernible meaning (e.g., “Wholeness quiets infinite phenomenaâ€).

Future research may focus on extending the present approach to measuring changes in linguistic sentiment on other social media platforms where alt-right supporters are active, such as 4Chan and Gab. It may also be of interest to measure concepts other than sentiment and video frequencies, such as hate speech and abusive language, in response to the Charlottesville rally and perhaps other events of interest
and a study called “The Alt-Right and Global Information Warfare”.
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.02712.pdf
“Amidst the resurgence of fascism and authoritarianism in popular culture, there is a concurrent global information war afoot. State super-powers are warring through manipulating the information sources and social media discourses of different political groups in foreign nations. Our initial data suggests that the Alt-Right leans heavily on Kremlin controlled media sources as a critical backbone of their ideology, thus playing a role in their concomitant violence. Further scaling of data mining analysis of Alt-Right twitter networks will give greater insight into the shape and contour of fascist disinformation and influence networks in the age of big data. Undermining the instrumental rationality of authoritarianism through data analysis gives us the opportunity
to push-back on the empowerment of proto-fascist movements across the globe.”

One has to wonder what the Pakistanis will think of a Chinese colony in their country though, the report says 500,000 Chinese could move in.
Pakis love diversity, but only when it is them doing the invading.
For comparison 1901 census of British India showed a population of 294 million with around 170,000 Europeans.
Interesting stat. That’s actually more Europeans than I would have guessed but still remarkably low. I imagine that they were mostly military men and very few of them had households. If you want your mind blown sometime, look up the number of foreigners in China at the start of the Boxer Rebellion, which the Chinese saw as their great period of humiliation. I’m afraid I’ll get the figure wrong, but, off the top of my head, I think it was <20,000, including Japanese. Anyway, definitely not above 30,000.
I do wonder about of people are right about Chinese colonising these Their World countries
I think China has the intestinal fortitude for colonization, but not the proper fertility. And nuclear weapons also make things difficult. India would be opposed to them colonizing Africa. Not a military match, to be sure, but they would arm Africans. Maybe, a split between them? I’ve thought of that as a possibility before, but the West would have to loose its ability to project power. The Middle East has a strong interest in Africa too, the Sudan being around 40% of the total arable land in culturally-Arabic countries.

Related to this is that the number of cellphone transmitters is being greatly increased with 5G. Once chipped it seems humans may be merely players in “the internet of things”, that 5G will enable. It is Orwell’s 1984 on steroids.

The southernmost tip of Canada is somewhat north of Detroit.

“Actually Windsor, Ontario lies directly SOUTH of Detroit.”
Right you are. Steve Perry caught a lot of shit for not knowing that.
For all we know Canada is coding deaths to hide coronavirus victims
Nobody’s got any incentive to downplay deaths: they are all coding on the ‘with‘ side of ‘of/with‘, albeit less systematically than the Italians.
If they don’t, it will become clear that this is a less-lethal contagion than 2009 H1N1. On an ‘apples to apples’ comparison, H1N1 was worse at this stage, when the cost measure is properly defined (‘loss of quality-adjusted years of life‘).
If the cost for covid19 excludes ‘died-with‘, H1N1pdm09 wins by a gigantic margin, because somewhere around 90% of covid19 deaths are ‘died-with‘, not ‘died-from‘ – whereas all of H1N1pdm09’s deaths were died-from.
If that happens, suddenly all the clampdowns make no sense: society survived 2009 without deliberately generating economic conditions that will, if maintained for more than a month[1], rival the Great Depression.
This is all of a piece with the types of data being presented to the schlubs:
• ‘confirmed cases’ – sub-acute and asymps (who don’t show up at hostpitals) aren’t counted;
• ‘new confirmed cases’ implies that a positive test today was contracted today;
• ‘died with‘: RBIs being counted as home runs;
• CFR (‘died-with‘/’confirmed cases’): that’s RBIs/hits as opposed to HRs/at-bats (when HRs/pitches would be a better metric).
This makes everything look much much worse than it is.
FWIW they missed a trick: if they used ‘died-with‘/’resolved cases’, they would get even bigger numbers (8% for Canada; 37% for the US).
You read that right: of the ‘confirmed cases’ considered ‘complete’ in the US, 37% have died.
If the media tried to run that scam, even Yanks would notice that such a number is preposterous and indicative of deliberate bias and panic-mongering.
It’s absolutely clear that the ‘less-extreme’ panic-mongering is deliberate.
It’s crafted for the fuckwits who watch morning TV (‘The View‘ being pretty representative). If you’re a person who can’t do sums, the numbers you hear (and the way they’re phrased) encourages belief that the numbers ‘justify’ all proposed interference in the economy.
This is because the ‘talent’ on The View is as innumerate (and as prone to hysteria) as their audience: it is easy for them to ignore things they can’t compute.
[1] There is a risk that the global economy is already doomed to economic conditions worse than the Great Depression.
There is a very high probability that there will be some ‘potline’-type problems when restrictions are removed. Significant parts of global production chains might have characteristics like aluminium smelters – where a one-day interruption in power to the potline causes a ‘freeze’ that takes a month to fix and costs ~3 months production (one lost from emptying the potline; one foregone by downtime; one lost due to costs of remediation).
You mean like the complete collapse in US auto sales?

His group published estimates a year ago predicting that the number of variant C.J.D. cases might reach 136,000 in coming decades. They have since revised those numbers only very slightly downward in a study of their own, which will be published soon.

Dr. Ioannidis one hour talk.
When adjusted for age, having COVID-19 is ballpark flu dangerous, but because it’s due to a novel virus the risk of getting it is very great (your immune system having never encountered it before). Old folk would be in about as much danger of dying as they would be from influenza if they get it, but because they are much more likely to get the novel COVID-19, the Bayesian probability of becoming seriously ill from in the flesh social contact is suddenly great for the elderly and infirm.
Therefore, it is most certainly wise for old (median over 60 on the DP cruise) or debilitated people to isolate for the foreseeable future. In children the risk is essentially zero, so children can go back to school, but they will not be visiting their grandparents’ house for a very long time.
Consider. Each year Italy barely had intensive care places for endemic seasonal influenza, the COVID-19 epidemic and bad management through letting anyone with COVID-19 occupy a IC place, a lot of smoking old folk, and half the population of Bergamo celebrating a Champions league match on 19 February by platonically smooching into the early hours.
There is not going to be any overwhelmed health service in the UK because of better hospital management, the timely isolation of the old folk, and too many intensive care beds being available anyway. Britain’s powerful economy is the reason it can cope. However, for the unforeseen eventualities that will certainly arise in the future we need to fire up that economy up again and build up new reserves. For the vulnerable groups the lockdown and extra help should continue, but for the others it needs to end. Back to work at Easter is ideal, but after the Easter hols would be the right time politically.
Don’t worry to much.

Price is a sorting mechanism. Forcing it in place when it should go higher leads to shortages, which is exactly what we’ve seen over the last couple of weeks.
�
I wouldn’t consider myself a Libertarian, but there is somewhat of a method to the madness.
Let’s take toilet paper (again) for instance.
-Price of a roll goes high, very high
-Businesses that produce it are incentivized to increase production to meet demand and cash in on the high price while it lasts
-Surplus of newly produced toilet paper floods the market
-Due to supply levels coming closer to demand, prices start to temper
Was the businessman thinking morally? Hell no, he was thinking about making a profit – bling, bling. However, if prices were kept down, then he would have zero incentive to produce any more than he is currently producing now, thus the pain of the shortage is simply a dull and prolonged one instead of potentially a sharp and relatively quick one.
You are leveraging the guy’s greed (let’s just be honest and call a spade a spade) to solve the problem at hand since he is likely unmotivated by charity. People who are motivated by charitable and altruistic means will act differently; they may buy a bunch and distribute to the needy.

Worth a read. Even Rabin was quoted as admitting that Nasser didn't want war.
Norman Finkelstein argues that the historical record shows that in 1967 Israel yearned to complete its failed mission of 1956. First, he says, Israel’s “primary goal was to neuter Nasser, to deliver a death blow to these uppity Arabs, and finish off what was called radical Arab nationalism.†He goes on that Israel’s government had a “secondary goal†— “to conquer the lands they had coveted but didn’t manage to seize in ’48: East Jerusalem, the West Bank, Gaza, the Golan.â€
Israeli leaders had only one big doubt: what would America do? If Israel did attack, would the United States force another humiliating climbdown, as in 1956? Or would Washington look the other way?
Finkelstein challenges the Mainstream Narrative’s account of the specific events in the months leading up to the war. His analysis is not at all unusual, and is shared to a great extent by other scholars. He argues that the facts show that Israel was not peacefully minding its own business, but instead regularly and violently provoking its Arab neighbors. In November 1966, in the largest military action since the Suez invasion, Israel attacked the West Bank town of Samu, then under Jordanian rule, killing 18 Jordanian soldiers and destroying 125 homes. Israel continued instigating along its border with Syria in April 1967, triggering an aerial battle in which 6 Syrian planes were shot down, including one over Damascus. Voices in the Arab world started to accuse Gamal Abdel Nasser, the leader of the Arabs, of standing by and doing nothing.
So Nasser did tell the United Nations to remove the peacekeeping troops from Egyptian Sinai, mainly so he could be seen to be taking some action. But Finkelstein points out that Israel could have asked for UN peacekeepers to be placed on its side of the border, which would have maintained the tripwire. Israel did no such thing.
�
You know Norman Finkelstien lost his job as a professor, because he is considered a polemist more then a neutral observer as a historian. Finkelstein has a lot of baggage with his story. You can say you and Finkelstein think Nasser did not want war. But it is a huge topic, with many people weighing in on both sides of the argument. Finkelstien is hardly a source where you declare Nasser did not want war done deal end of discussion !! You do that a lot not seeing the validity of only one side.
It is a big complex topic.

I know you are jesting, but if I could propose a few short, serious reforms of grammar, it would be to ban both the word “Nazi” and the word “fascist” for everything other than direct historical references. “Nazi” for “Nazi Germany”, and “fascist” for “Italy under Mussolini.” I would also ban calling people Hitler.
If someone truly deserves disapprobation, then referencing their own name and actions should suffice. To reference someone else’s name or actions is to engage in a pop culture version of history. It is inevitably superficial and devoid of moral content.
If one cloned Hitler, like in The Boys from Brazil, the clone wouldn’t even be Hitler – and I say that as a hereditarian. There are two many different factors at play. Make the real Hitler come to power ten years after he did in our history, and things likely would have unfolded very differently. There really isn’t any rational point in invoking his name nearly 90 years later, after he rose to power, as if he could arise now, and 1001 things would not change the situation, including ballistic nuclear weapons.
It’s actually worse than invoking the threat of a Mongol invasion because Mongolians are still good riders, still venerate Genghis and have a 131-foot (40 m) tall statue of him on a horse. I don’t know if anyone noticed, but Germany is super-cucked and self-hating, and many of its men are effeminate. Not at all like Mongolians.
I totally agree. I'd also ban the word "communist" since communism as such is a political movement that also no longer exists. I'd ban the word "conservative" since there are no conservatives these days. Modern "conservatives" are just liberals who hate paying their taxes. But the word "liberal" also has little meaning outside the context of 19th century classical liberalism. 19th century classical liberals would not consider most modern self-described liberals as liberals.

“The Spanish Flu pandemic that spread throughout the world in 1918 and killed between 17 to 100 million people is a natural place to start our query. The H1N1 virus that presumptively caused the Spanish flu influenza wasn’t really defeated. It wasn’t ‘killed’ so to say.”
Gilad, that’s just the accepted fable about the pandemic of 1918. That event has been examined scientifically and other conclusions are possible. Wasn’t the virus recently exhumed and given to a fwew volunteers, none of whom developed anything like what killed so many people in that last year of WWI? Autopsies have been reviewed as well and results point directly to bacterium which is present, and which, in many cases was seen as having caused the deadly pneumonia in the victims:

The Fort Riley paper (Ft Riley, KS was the origin of the deadly pandemic, BTW) details an experimental vaccine regimen using soldiers as subjects:

Have you tried your meat and potatoes (or ham and grits, as the case may be) with red-eye gravy? It’s an old Southern USA thing made with coffee and the meat juices.
Make it with the juices from your ham, and pour it on in the morning, or anytime.
Ingredients:
1 slice of country ham
1/2 cup boiling strong black coffee
In a skillet, fry the ham slice in its own fat over medium heat until nicely browned on both sides. Once it is cooked, transfer the ham to a warm platter, keeping the drippings in the skillet.
Add the boiling black coffee to the skillet. Deglaze, scraping the bottom and sides of the skillet to dissolve any particles that developed when you cooked the ham.
What is left in the skillet is red-eye gravy, which you can then pour over the ham and serve.
“Italexit would be most welcomeâ€
Italians are net-takers from the EU. Why would a leech leave its host?
I agree to a certain extent, but in Britain it isn’t really a race/immigration thing. Right wing British people find the idea of native British women living off state benefits with multiple children just as infuriating as immigrant women doing the same.
In fact, in Britain I would argue that it is more associated with lower class native British women than it is with immigrant women.
Agree completely.

All sides are coming across pretty shitty in his mess except Russia and Iran.
ISIS were/are an Israeli-Western proxy force to wage war on the legitimate Syrian regime.
The US couldn’t defeat these people in years yet when Russia enters the picture they are driven back in a few months? Could it be that the US armed forces were not militarily bad, but that they were holding off on attacking ISIS? They were after all opposed to both ISIS and Al-Assad and taking out ISIS who were fighting Al-Assad was not in the American foreign policy interest.

This is the 1st time i think Ron Unz’s totally out of track. There’re 3 common sense arguments why there’s no Armageddon risk from C19.
1 Empirical: There’re countries like SE or SG n more where there’s NO lockdown n they did (very) well. So lockdown is much more a govt miscarriage than a necessity.
2 Scienitific. There isn’t a single feature of this C19 whammy which couldn’t be seriously questioned with minimal critical thinking n existing medical n epidemical experience. Plenty of renowned experts there out saying its overhyped. Also leading professional med magazines like Lancet do not confirm the hysteria about C19. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/The-evidence-on-Covid-19-is-not-as-clear-as-we-think
3 Finally, n that’s the most important point why C19’s a big fallacy: it CAN be prevented n cured very well n the main tools known for decades. The old antimalaria med hydroxychloroquine used since the Vietnam war just not used now… but, the even more striking evidence about the cheap n extremely efficient VitC cures, known n widely applied since the 30ies n recently in Asia as well.

Cellular autophagic machinery also play an important role in innate immunity. Intracellular pathogens, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the bacterium which is responsible for tuberculosis) are targeted for degradation by the same cellular machinery and regulatory mechanisms that target host mitochondria for degradation.[73] . This process generally leads to the destruction of the invasive microorganism, although some bacteria can block the maturation of phagosomes into degradative organelles called phagolysosomes.[74] Stimulation of autophagy in infected cells can help overcome this phenomenon, restoring pathogen degradation

Oh I’m sorry, I’m sure you’re correct. Only thing in play here is Hanlon’s razor. How could one like you question the CDC or REAL “scientist” like Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Sometimes it’s hard for people to trust in China because the many who are too propagandised, or propagandized, to see anything not matching their out-of-this-world positive idealisation of it, make, by their untrustworthiness, the object of their devotion untrustworthy by association.
Which is a fallacy one shouldn’t fall for, because China has nothing to do with a smattering of people posting unbalanced comments online on how it be a beacon unto humankind.
My posts are read and conversed with other people engaged in the same topic. It does not matter if Talha answers or not. I am engaged in subjects close to my heart, and very important. Mostly when I am responding to his post (his information not him) I post without a name, sometimes I forget and press reply. It is of little importance. The discussion of Islam / Judaism is not about me or Talha. My posts are information that is critical to understanding the subject matter from a Zionist perspective.
Our hostility towards each other causes a lot of communication irregularities, there is a lot of cross communications, referencing and referencing to others indirectly for not wanting to confront directly. It is obvious that the Muslims and the Jews on this site are interested in what each other think, and both have a smidgeon of wanting to share information in perhaps a positive way.
So it is dishonest to say that Talha is ignoring me. He walked into a conversation Aaron and I were having with a post to no one. You also could just walk away from Aaron while you accuse him of wanting you to notice him, yet you continue to engage. It does not take a Freud to understand the subliminal desires to communicate even while being ignored.
But thanks for your concern. Fortunately I am not one to care about being embarrassed on UR, I have a substantial an important life in the real world. A bit of a tedious observation no? Could you please answer my last post of 9:29 and what that is referring to?

Worth a read. Even Rabin was quoted as admitting that Nasser didn't want war.
Norman Finkelstein argues that the historical record shows that in 1967 Israel yearned to complete its failed mission of 1956. First, he says, Israel’s “primary goal was to neuter Nasser, to deliver a death blow to these uppity Arabs, and finish off what was called radical Arab nationalism.†He goes on that Israel’s government had a “secondary goal†— “to conquer the lands they had coveted but didn’t manage to seize in ’48: East Jerusalem, the West Bank, Gaza, the Golan.â€
Israeli leaders had only one big doubt: what would America do? If Israel did attack, would the United States force another humiliating climbdown, as in 1956? Or would Washington look the other way?
Finkelstein challenges the Mainstream Narrative’s account of the specific events in the months leading up to the war. His analysis is not at all unusual, and is shared to a great extent by other scholars. He argues that the facts show that Israel was not peacefully minding its own business, but instead regularly and violently provoking its Arab neighbors. In November 1966, in the largest military action since the Suez invasion, Israel attacked the West Bank town of Samu, then under Jordanian rule, killing 18 Jordanian soldiers and destroying 125 homes. Israel continued instigating along its border with Syria in April 1967, triggering an aerial battle in which 6 Syrian planes were shot down, including one over Damascus. Voices in the Arab world started to accuse Gamal Abdel Nasser, the leader of the Arabs, of standing by and doing nothing.
So Nasser did tell the United Nations to remove the peacekeeping troops from Egyptian Sinai, mainly so he could be seen to be taking some action. But Finkelstein points out that Israel could have asked for UN peacekeepers to be placed on its side of the border, which would have maintained the tripwire. Israel did no such thing.
�
Excellent points. I agree that the Zionist side seems to look more and more desperate; the attempts at legal restrictions being the more obvious markers.
Things ain’t looking good in the polls and the Israelis know this:
“The 2019 survey found that the decline in sympathy for Israel extended to both of America’s major political parties. While support for Israel among Democrats dropped by 6%, Republican support declined by 13%, a staggering figure in light of Republican President Donald Trump’s cultivation of an intensely close relationship with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.”

What do I think? Well, like I said, we have time to do this the right way – as we should have from the get-go. Here comes that tortoise, plodding along, staying on course as the hare thinks he is far enough ahead to take a nap.
Love the Sha’rawi quote, may ALLAH have mercy on him.
Ameen, he was a gem of wisdom in our Ummah.
Thanks for the analysis by Finkelstein, much appreciated.

It is only considered “right-wing” (in fact the actual term used by the media is “far-right”) when the purpose of such a policy is to increase the fertility rate of ethnic Europeans like in the case of Hungary, because after all that’s what evil moustache man did.
In the UK, right-wingers would be opposed to it as it would disproportionately benefit Muslims as their women stay at home while White women choose to work. The fertility rate of Muslims in the UK is way above the replacement rate, it’s not uncommon to see a woman in a burka or hijab walking around with her 5 kids in some parts of Britain.

The surgical mask (control) showed the highest filtration efficiency with B atrophaeus. Also, as expected, its measured low pressure drop showed it to be the most suitable material among those tested for use as a face mask. The pillowcase and the 100% cotton t-shirt were found to be the most suitable household materials for an improvised face mask. The slightly stretchy quality of the t-shirt made it the more preferable choice for a face mask as it was considered likely to provide a better fit.
Although doubling the layers of fabric did significantly increase the pressure drop measured across all 3 materials(P,.01 using Wilcoxon sign rank test), only the 2 layers of tea towel material demonstrated a significant increase infiltration efficiency that was marginally greater than that of the face mask.

Surveys are not a good indication of how tribal people are as there is a phenomenon called “social desirability bias” in which people tend to answer to surveys in a way that they think will land them in the good books of “society” (and who determines the zeitgeist of “society”, yep, Hollywood, newspapers and advertising companies)
Interestingly, this phenomenon also occurs when the survey is anonymous, so it even carries over to voting. This might explain why in the days before widespread social media usage, White people did not vote for ethno-nationalist parties like the BNP in the UK or National Front in France, they were told by the media that these parties are bad and their reality was shaped by this media. However since the explosion of social media, people are more willing to vote for nationalist parties as they see other real people thinking the same way, this is also why I think the media likes to push narratives of ‘Russian bots’ being the people behind nationalism as this is another way of saying ‘look goy, all those people out there opposing race-replacement and degeneracy are not real, all the real people support open borders and sodomy’
Another example of this is inter-racial adverts
A 2017 study in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology looked at insula activity in the brain when participants viewed images of interracial couples compared to same-race couples. Insula activation is responsible for a variety of emotions. Evidence shows that insula activity is present when a person experiences disgust and is thought to be a reliable marker of both disgust and aversion. The study found statistical significance between insula activation of participants looking at same-race couples compared to interracial couples. Despite a minority of participants explicitly stating they disagree with interracial dating and marriage, the electroencephalogram (EEG), told a different story.
Yet all polls show that people are not in any way opposed to inter-racial relations, this is social desirability bias in play.
Moving back to your comment, it could be possible that high IQ people realise that fitting into society will ensure the best outcome for them and therefore support these kind of things pushed by the globalist mass media in order to remain in the polite society. Of course this is a correlation and there will be people who do no fit into this pattern.

There are no excess deaths in Europe

Italy has an uptick but its only experiencing higher deaths with a mortality rate ranked 3rd over 5 years in Italy. Meaning they had 2 flu seasons in the last 5 years that were not covid related and yet had more deaths
In Italy and other countries they are just calling more of those pneumonia deaths as COVID deaths. In my country an elderly COVID patient with serious heart condition who recovered from pneumonia and after release died of a heart attack. He goes down as a COVID death. Lol
In the US its hard to get data thats not absolute garbage. That is by design. The record will show mortality rate has not increased significantly, although suicides and deaths from untreated diseases due to fear of going to hospital or hospitals cancelling appointments/surgeries will increase.
Yeah, I saw the hit piece 60 Minutes ran. In a sane world, that segment would have never made it to the air, because Hungary is a small, relatively insignificant country that is far away, and is best known to people over a certain age for the Gabor sisters, and not much else. What the Hungarians do is their business, not ours or anyone else’s. That’s why borders are such a great idea: they allow various groups of people to organize their countries in ways that make sense to them, not someone else.

In the same spirit of “espirit de corps” I wold like to share this very simple recipe that I served up to two good friends for dinner last night. The recipe was inspired by an African one that I had sampled during a barbecue many years ago (with chicken breast, not shrimp)..”Garlic Coconut Shrimp Chili”
Recipe for 3:
2 lbs shrimp
2 cans coconut milk or cream (I used one of each)
At least 10 fat cloves of garlic
Tuong Chili Garlic Sauce
Your favorite pasta or rice
Saute the large cleaned shrimp in a large skillet greased with olive oil and some milk butter. Keep adding crushed garlic throughout the whole process to taste (the more the merrier). Halfway through (about 5-6 minutes) add two cans of coconut milk/cream. Stir everything thoroughly and add Tuong chili Garlic Sauce to taste. If you have a squeamish stomach, just add in a little bit – if you’re like Karlin and myself, go for it! When all cooked, serve over pasta or rice. The next time I make it, I will definitely add in some nice & sweet pineapple chunks. Yum!

To your point, here is the lates log-scale chart of deaths is various countries, updated 03/30/2020. In this graph, China and Iran have been removed and Germany and Belgium added. Not only do we see a pronounced and obvious levelling off as the death rate moves out of the upper bound of the "flu zone," but even more important is this: The slope of every country's death rate (other than South Korea) is identical as it passes the 100/10 million threshold. These are contries from differnt parts of the world, with different climates and different demographics and a gamut of different public responses, implemented at different times. Everything different, same slope. This is pretty good prima facie evidence that the social distancing procedures aren't really doing much except destroying the economy.
The stated purpose of lockdowns is to slow the spread of infection, not even stop, just slow the rate of infection. This done so that hospitals don’t get overwhelmed. Leaving aside for the moment that there are nowhere near as many infections or deaths as the SARS epidemic of 2010-11, is it really true that lockdowns slow the rate of transmission?
�
No, you do not understand how the lockdown works at all in this epidemic
If you see the curve of Italy you can see that is “bending” recently, and becoming more horizontal, it started to be more close to an horizontal line, and this is because to have an effect, the lockdown measures needs at least 3 weeks to start a clear change in the trends, in the number of deaths, because there is a delay due to the period of incubation and aggravation before to die of all the people that were infected just prior the lockdown, the typical period for this pandemic is around 20 days from infection to death in people they could track the source of infection, so that is the reason the lockdowns are only effective after three weeks and the deceleration is not sudden, as all the process that depends of many patients
Italy made the lockdown in 9 or march, so now you will see how the line started to change a lot from the US or the rest of the curves, and Spain in more or less a week. So the rest of the countries are still well inside the exponential phase
End the lockdown and you will see again how the increase of number of deaths become exponential again in 3 weeks
Thanks! By the way, comment #122 was meant as a reply to you, not as a reply to myself.
For the American states, it always was a basic choice: either Boston and secularized Anglo-Saxon Puritanism would rule the Union or …
The Irish Catholic forefathers chose to immigrate into the States through Boston then out the Erie Canal to the old French territories so as to be among fellow Catholics throughout and to avoid the Judaizing heretics in the bigger port of New Amsterdam which had become known as NYC.
Many decades of Jewish effort have gone into pushing the idea that our ancestors were unsophisticated Borat-like brutes
And a bunch of those decades (particularly the decades since the 1940s) have also put significant effort the other way: to push the idea that Eastern-European hovel-dwellers were not filthy, hygiene-absent and vermin-infested to a degree that required systematic de-lousing if they were to be housed together in large numbers in Western Europe.
The fact that they were also stupid, primitive, superstitious and hostile to education in anything other then their stupid foundational myth, also helps explain why the ‘gassing’ narrative was a major piece of #fakenews about which these people were terrified.
Some of the people being moved westwards had never seen, let alone used, soap: having the entire train gassed (often in a sealed tunnel) would have scared the bejesus out of the passengers.
In a few days the CDC will be advising all Americans to wear masks to reduce the spread of the virus.

There are some number of authoritarian, ultranationalist governments characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of both the society and the economy.
Oh, does this mean the People’s Democracy of North Korea is actually Fascist rather than Communist? It’s risible.
Is this describing Saudi Arabia? Pakistan? Malaysia? Egypt? Some of the Emirates? Maybe Iran?
How about Singapore?
Oh, and what about China? Xi is now effectively “leader for life”, that makes him a sort of elected Emperor. Is anyone calling China a “Fascist state”?
Step back a couple of generations, was Francoist Spain “Fascist”? On the one hand a terrible civil war in the 1930’s, on the other hand no real participation in WWII and zero territorial ambitions.
Or maybe Peronist Argentina? No real territorial ambitions there, either. Both were authoritarian in the Spanish model that hankered back to older norms of a strong man in charge of a paternalistic government. Were those “Fascists” or something else? The leftards call them Nazi’s of course, but the left is retarded and has been for decades.
Of course the term “Fascist” and “Fascism” have no meaning now, they were coined by Benito Mussolini about 100 years ago. Mussolini came from an International Socialist background, he was named after a President of Mexico, and he only broke with the Socialists over WW I. The social mileau of Italy in 1920 was unique and really has no comparable example 100 years later. None.
It’s funny to see leftards still swinging that stick as if it means anything. 70 years ago George Orwell noticed it had lost all actual meaning, it had just become an epithet, a verbal stick to wave in the air. To a committed Leftard, almost everything is Fascism and almost everyone he doesn’t like is a Fascist, including the illegal immigrant clerk at the convenience store who shorted him on a Big Gulp drink. Because leftards are retarded ignoramuses.
It is a lolcow now, the word “Fascism”.
Might as well call PM Orban a “Bonapartist” or a “Khan” or a “Hun” or some other long-dead historical label.
Is it a wise course? Eastern Europe has for the last 1,000 years or so tended to be more authoritarian than German free cities, Helvetican mountaineers, etc. Perhaps this is just a reversion to the prior working model, as can also be seen in Byelorus and Russia. Will it work for them? Who knows?
Only time will reveal if this was a good idea or not. I’m certainly not about to tell Hungarians what they ought to do, as I have zero skin in their game.
It will be worth watching the Visegrad group and neighbors in this crisis as well as places like Finland to see if those older ways work better or are well past their staledate
We can babble all we want in comboxes, we are like children chalking the sidewalk or dogs barking at a procession of automobiles. Orban is responsible for a nation, and he’s assumed a whole lot of authority now for that nation . He will be judged in part on the results. Frankly I do not envy his position.

Virginia has been a hot spot for the Christian Zionist Scam ever since the Shyster Jerry Falwell became more than just an evangelical crook but also a Shabbot Goy for Netanyahu and the Thugs running Palestine. This all started with the amazingly clever trick of the Jews concocting the so called Scofield Bible and using the embezzler and con man Scofield as front man. He was even a member of Eugene Meyer’s (the Jew that held Wilson’s blackmail letters) Lotus Club in N.Y. Too bad the so called Christians are to stupid to read the Bible for themselves. There are many verses that show how God has divorced the Jews as the Chosen.
Big Jew money has bought most of the politicians in both the Zionist Rep. and the Zionist Dem. parties and have controlled the Ex. since W. Wilson. Trump being the current Shabbot Goy President for Israel.
That, at least in Italy, will be very close to zero. 99.2% of the dead have pre-existing conditions, and they die at around 79. The life expectancy is 82 there, but that is the average (people with and without PEC, and people without). Those without probably have a life expectancy of, say, 85, and those with, say, 79. So, really, very little time in this world lost.
Compare with the suicides of young people (2 nurse so far, one was 34) and suddenly unemployed people (one was 29), Italy has of order 200 extra deaths a day, it is getting pretty comparable in terms of years lost.
