Anyone know what these alleged code-of-conduct violations by Isis Lovecruft's former boyfriend, and current Zcash employee, Henry de Valence actually were?
Valence is one of the people who knows first hand that Lovecruft fabricated assault allegations against me...
Israel's test positivity rate is going up, while their testing rate is going down... Sweden's testing rate is fairly steady, and their positivity rate is going down.
Fact is, Israel's drop in cases/deaths might not even be real. I could certainly see people being in denial about the fact that they've gotten covid after getting vaccinated.
Makes you wonder how many people tested positive after getting vaccinated, and then got another test to confirm that they really were infected.
Israel's covid cases and deaths are just beginning to decline a bit, after vaccinating 54% of the population (30% two weeks ago), and after having been in strict lockdown since _September_. Israeli flu season usually peaks between December and February, and weather right now is perfect for fighting flu.
Meanwhile, Sweden's cases and deaths have been falling since late December, having had hardly any lockdown (or even voluntary measures) the whole time, and Sweden is freezing and dark right now.

PSA: the short-squeeze we're seeing with GME is a totally different situation than BTC.
Hodling makes sense when there is a long term value proposition. If you're buying GME at current prices, either plan to sell very soon, or do it for the lulz.
"Indians must have no confusion about how we reached impressive Covid herd immunity"
tl;dr: covid just isn't that deadly, and has spread very widely in India. Other diseases like TB kill many more people, and the population correctly recognized the low risk. Based on antibody testing, there's probably 50+ undetected infections in India for every known case.
Case numbers have been dropping since Sept for the simple reason that herd immunity is real.

Yes, this is real.
They're finally admitting to the facts on masks, and why they just don't work well enough to matter.

One layer: 50%
Two layers: 75%
Three layers: 90%
Plastic bag: 100%
Don't kill grandma. Make the right choice.
If you look at these stats objectively, even Israel's vaccination program is going badly.
Think about it: Israel is reporting 0.09% of the population is getting infected every day. The actual rate is likely 10x that: 0.9% infected/day.
Meanwhile, they're giving 2% of the population one dose per day.
A natural infection gets you ~100% immunity. A single dose, ~50%
So _even Israel_ is struggling to vaccinate people faster than they're becoming immune naturally. The US and UK aren't even close.

Neat: Slush pool's "pick your own block to mine" scheme rewards miners proportionally to the value of the block they're mining.

How it started: "Two weeks to flatten the curve."
How it's going: "There is nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months."
The one reassuring thing about this widespread outbreak of dementia is at least we know it's not from the covid vaccines.
I'm getting increasingly worried that medical science is about to find a new, widespread, and terrifying cause of dementia.
Photos taken yesterday of the 458 new quarantine centres for COVID-19 that are being built in Shijiazhuang, China.
Currently they're claiming 180cases/day, out of a 1.4 billion population.
I personally don't trust that number.
