| Brainstorm | asdflkj: From reason.com: Would a National Lockdown Have Saved the U.S. From COVID-19? – Reason.com | 00:57 |
| asdflkj | > countries that rank higher in per capita deaths than the United States include Belgium, Italy, and the U.K., all of which implemented national lockdowns. Sweden, which eschewed broad restrictions last spring, ranks lower than the United States and a bunch of European countries that imposed lockdowns but much higher than its Scandinavian neighbors | 00:58 |
| asdflkj | > Simple comparisons like these cannot definitively resolve the issue of how effective lockdowns were. In a National Bureau of Economic Research paper published last August, UCLA economist Andrew Atkeson and two other researchers, after looking at COVID-19 trends in 23 countries and 25 U.S. states that had seen more than 1,000 deaths from the disease by late July, found little evidence that | 00:59 |
| asdflkj | variations in policy explain the course of the epidemic in different places. Other analyses have reached different conclusions. | 00:59 |
| asdflkj | I had no idea we had lower death rates than so many nationally-locked-down European countries | 01:00 |
| LjL | asdflkj, i think when making a "some countries with lockdown actually had more deaths" argument one should also look very careful at cause vs effect. italy was the first country to have a lockdown, of the type that today we'd call "very strict" for european standards. did it do it because it was a very cool country? no, it did it because it realized it was the *first* country with a big cluster of cases... and of course, those cases exploded, despite the | 01:01 |
| LjL | lockdown | 01:01 |
| Brainstorm | New from https://covid19.specops.network : ljl-covid: Create file for links that I haven't yet fully sorted through, meant … → https://is.gd/KMLW2G | 01:01 |
| LjL | iow some lockdowns happen *because* the situation is dire, so it may be a fallacy to say "the situation became dire despite the lockdown" | 01:02 |
| LjL | most european lockdowns have been reactive | 01:03 |
| LjL | look at some proactive lockdowns in asia / oceania | 01:03 |
| LjL | also, the EU was never *all* locked down at the same time. travel within it largely kept happening. an EU-wide lockdown would be somewhat comparable to a US-wide lockdown, while individual member states locking down is comparable to individual US states locking down, IMO | 01:04 |
| asdflkj | right, you can almost certainly make up *any* conclusion if you play with the stats right. but "lockdowns make little difference" is between "lockdowns work" (which seems to be the general sentiment in this channel) and "lockdowns hurt" (which you could argue, if not convincincly, based on Sweden getting better results than many non-Scandinavian countries, and the US doing better than some | 01:06 |
| asdflkj | locked down parts of the EU), and is increasingly seemming like the reasonable middle ground to me | 01:06 |
| asdflkj | and the UCLA study looks like decent evidence to me | 01:07 |
| LjL | or you could say "lockdowns aren't all the same" | 01:08 |
| LjL | by now it's become a wildcard word for any sort of restriction that feels tighter than other restrictions | 01:08 |
| LjL | by the standards of italy's previous lockdown, italy is not in a lockdown now, and i believe none of the big EU countries are | 01:09 |
| LjL | because people are allowed to go to work, including non-essential jobs, plus schools are often partly open | 01:09 |
| LjL | i remember venturing out once during the early days of the first lockdown. it looked like a ghost town | 01:09 |
| LjL | nowadays it looks like a crowded town with masked people | 01:09 |
| asdflkj | IMO locking down nursing homes makes sense, but maybe not locking down much else | 01:10 |
| asdflkj | so you don’t believe any western country country has a true lockdown? | 01:13 |
| asdflkj | s/country country/country/ | 01:13 |
| LjL | i can't keep tabs on all of them | 01:14 |
| LjL | but Italy, France, Germany, the UK - nope | 01:14 |
| LjL | Spain and Portugal, probably not but not really sure atm | 01:14 |
| LjL | if New Zealand and Australia logically count as "western", then those have true lockdowns whenever there's a cluster, and those indubitably work | 01:15 |
| asdflkj | I hate that wikipedia seems to have no deaths per capita | 01:15 |
| asdflkj | "Fatality rate" is deaths/case, right? | 01:16 |
| LjL | should be | 01:16 |
| LjL | "mortality rate" is deaths/population | 01:16 |
| LjL | if it's wikipedia, i assume someone would have been pedantic about it if it used the wrong term | 01:17 |
| ubLIX[m] | asdflkj is ignoring population density and travel/communication/connectedness | 01:17 |
| ubLIX[m] | how do you lock down a nursing home, anyway? no staff in are out. once your shift has started, you are locked in till the end of time (the pandemic will remain.. pandemic forever). no food deliveries. no transfer of residents to hospital for any kind of treatment | 01:17 |
| ubLIX[m] | s/are/or/ | 01:17 |
| asdflkj | deliver the food by drone :P | 01:18 |
| asdflkj | ubLIX[m]: but I think it's reasonable to lockdown the nursing home while allowing 1 or 2 covid-tested delivery people, and emergency first responders (which is a small enough fraction of the population I think it's reasonable to test all of them in the nursing home's area) | 01:20 |
| asdflkj | Brainstorm: help | 01:21 |
| Brainstorm | asdflkj: Please use the command %help instead | 01:21 |
| LjL | good luck managing to do that in italy | 01:21 |
| asdflkj | LjL: what's the issue? | 01:21 |
| ubLIX[m] | so.. test each delivery driver, and each member of staff, then each such person must remain in solitary confinement in a known clean environment for 14 days prior to entering the nursing home? | 01:22 |
| LjL | if you tell the people who work at the nursing home they won't be allowed to leave, they'll all resign and leave quickly | 01:22 |
| LjL | it's not exactly like our nursing home are Floridan oldpeople villages | 01:22 |
| LjL | plus, most of the elderly population lives at home, often with younger people, not in nursing homes, so there's that small issue too | 01:23 |
| LjL | and you could also consider it an issue in terms of causing more deaths than other countries | 01:23 |
| asdflkj | ubLIX[m]: sure, that's more or less reasonable when lives are at stake | 01:23 |
| LjL | which is, of course, irrespective of lockdowns | 01:23 |
| ubLIX[m] | O_o | 01:23 |
| asdflkj | ubLIX[m]: if they don't value the elderly's lives they're welcome to leave | 01:24 |
| LjL | and if *you* don't value their lives you'd enact such a policy that makes all the staff leave | 01:25 |
| asdflkj | but the staff aren't a big risk if tested and locked down | 01:25 |
| ubLIX[m] | asdflkj: how'd you feel about being a delivery driver who isn't allowed to come into contact with anyone at all outside the nursing home. for 2 years | 01:26 |
| asdflkj | ubLIX[m]: they could cycle | 01:26 |
| ubLIX[m] | month on, month off sorta thing? | 01:27 |
| asdflkj | maybe | 01:27 |
| ubLIX[m] | same for the nursing staff | 01:27 |
| asdflkj | it should be tried | 01:27 |
| ubLIX[m] | sounds ambitious, logistically | 01:27 |
| LjL | anyway, this is all very interesting but as big an issue as the nursing homes are, i don't think we can deal with COVID by just dealing with the nursing homes and nothing else | 01:28 |
| asdflkj | LjL: you probably know the stats better than me. aren't the elderly a plurality or even a majority of deaths? | 01:28 |
| LjL | yes, but | 01:28 |
| asdflkj | if everyone actually quits they could loosen a little (allow driver contact with regular testing and minimal contact with the residents) | 01:29 |
| LjL | 1) deaths aren't the only issue at all. almost 50% of COVID patients have long-term issues after 6 months followup | 01:29 |
| LjL | 2) the elderly aren't all in nursing homes. in italy, not even a plurality of them are | 01:29 |
| asdflkj | LjL: "long term issues" is a very broad term. I've heard of people with them doing more than good enough to appear on TV with no externally visible issues | 01:30 |
| asdflkj | IIRC | 01:30 |
| LjL | okay... being able to be on TV is now the benchmark of living with chronic symptoms? | 01:30 |
| asdflkj | no | 01:31 |
| LjL | also, what you see on TV is the basis of... anything? | 01:31 |
| asdflkj | I don't watch TV | 01:31 |
| LjL | great, then let's forget about TV | 01:31 |
| the-wes | next let's focus on "externally visible issues" | 01:32 |
| asdflkj | but something like 60% of medical research hasn't been reproduced and "long term issues" sounds like a vague term a TV talking head would say to make something sound potentially bigger than it is | 01:33 |
| asdflkj | like a clickbait headline | 01:33 |
| LjL | whatever | 01:34 |
| LjL | i didn't take it from a clickbait headline | 01:34 |
| LjL | but you know that | 01:34 |
| LjL | but the research i can show you for it hasn't necessarily been reproduced | 01:34 |
| LjL | so why do i even bother saying things | 01:34 |
| asdflkj | your point №2 is decent | 01:35 |
| LjL | oh why thank you | 01:35 |
| asdflkj | I think households can individually choose the precautions they are comfortable with | 01:36 |
| LjL | ubLIX[m], did you see the italian here the other day? | 01:36 |
| LjL | asdflkj, and i think i'm glad i don't live in the US with that mindset | 01:36 |
| asdflkj | don't you live in Italy? | 01:36 |
| LjL | i do | 01:37 |
| asdflkj | we have less death where we choose to | 01:37 |
| LjL | that proves exactly nothing | 01:37 |
| LjL | we have the most elevators in the world | 01:37 |
| asdflkj | ok, maybe I shouldn't even say anything | 01:37 |
| LjL | not per capita, but in total. are there things that tells you? | 01:37 |
| asdflkj | the US has less death than Italy per capita, no? | 01:38 |
| LjL | currently | 01:38 |
| LjL | it has varied, but yes | 01:38 |
| LjL | it's also very close | 01:38 |
| asdflkj | but that's overall, I bet the less sick states are much healthier than Italy | 01:39 |
| LjL | indeed, it makes pretty much no sense to compare Italy to the US as if they are... comparable things | 01:39 |
| LjL | thanks for making my point | 01:39 |
| asdflkj | there are still scattered counties with 0 deaths IIUC | 01:40 |
| LjL | maybe compare Italy with a single densely populated US state where few measures have been taken | 01:40 |
| LjL | well there aren't "scattered counties" in Italy | 01:40 |
| asdflkj | right | 01:40 |
| ubLIX[m] | LjL: nope. did i miss some entertainment? | 01:41 |
| LjL | ubLIX[m], yes, feel free to pop up in my PM so i can vent on how insufferable italians are (while simultaneously maintaining i'm glad i'm here instead of the US) | 01:42 |
| LjL | (did i ever mention italians are hypocritical af?) | 01:42 |
| asdflkj | the EU kinda has scattered countries, the UK scattered itself right out | 01:43 |
| asdflkj | and of course the US population comes from people scattering themselves away from other countries (some maybe millenia ago over the Alaskan land bridge, many from Europe more recently) | 01:47 |
| LjL | scattered countRies isn't quite the same as scattered counties, eh | 01:50 |
| asdflkj | it's similar | 01:50 |
| LjL | ... no | 01:50 |
| asdflkj | my county has almost 30× the population of Liechtenstein | 01:51 |
| asdflkj | (to cherrypick a small country) | 01:51 |
| LjL | (which isn't in the EU) | 01:52 |
| asdflkj | oops :P | 01:52 |
| asdflkj | I guess that probably plays to a stereotype how much we USians know know about little futbol countries :P | 01:54 |
| asdflkj | wow, I never realized the EU has a tiny hole in it there, and a big one to the east | 01:55 |
| LjL | anyway, the point from my side is, there might be godforsaken tiny towns somewhere in italy where COVID has barely hit i suppose (maybe), but not to the scale to which there are rural places in the US. mostly, we all live densely, usually in apartment buildings, which is why we have so many elevators. if your idea of "every household choosing their precautions" is a self-standing house with a private garden, a garage, and curbside pickup for grocery, well, | 01:55 |
| LjL | that is just not what Italy is like, but if we're talking about the US, i'd point out it's also not what all the US is like, so telling someone from NYC to just pick up curbside, they'd probably look at you "?" | 01:55 |
| asdflkj | well I live in a suburb and I know people who moved out of the inner city | 01:56 |
| LjL | suburbs of the typical US kind mostly just don't exist in the EU | 01:57 |
| asdflkj | given the stats it seems like an effective escape from COVID to scatter oneself out of the EU or a city and move to a rural town in the US | 01:58 |
| asdflkj | (if that's legal) | 01:58 |
| LjL | in Italy, and i think in several EU countries it's similar, suburbs equate to the poorer parts of the population, and they're even *bigger* apartment blocks | 01:58 |
| asdflkj | that's interesting | 01:59 |
| LjL | you're just trolling. you're still one of the most affected (deaths per capita) countries in the world, and you're going to tell me that it's "an effective escape from COVID" to move to the US? | 01:59 |
| asdflkj | *a rural town in the US* | 01:59 |
| LjL | because you have 1606 per million instead of 1645 or something? | 01:59 |
| asdflkj | you're not acting in great faith to omit the "rural" | 02:00 |
| LjL | yeah well there are 450m people in the EU, let's ask Biden if it's legal for all of us to inundate your rural town :P you asked, but you know the answer | 02:00 |
| asdflkj | just send everyone scared of covid to see how US country hicks like them, and leave the swedish behind :P | 02:01 |

| LjL | the J&J trial had 6 cases of tinnitus, vs 0 in the placebo arm. they consider it not enough to count as signal in the noise, but now i have another reason not to want J&J :P | 02:07 |
| asdflkj | to me gunshots just bring nostalgia of scout camp | 02:08 |
| LjL | it was similar numbers with the Bell's palsy... and apparently we'll never really know whether the vaccine does increase the odds, since adverse reaction reports post-trial basically cannot be scaled to any sensible denominator or compared to any sensible group | 02:08 |
| asdflkj | I remember walking a mile or two around a lake to do archery next to the rifle range, and hearing the shotgun range come over the water | 02:09 |
| asdflkj | we took the whole first class to be reminded this was the most dangerous thing the majority of us who had never driven a car had ever done, and learn safety precautions, including never approaching the range until people there saw us and paused the shooting, then immediately putting on hearing protection. which worked, the rest of camp was fun. best adolescent memories | 02:14 |

| asdflkj | Arsanerit: does it have covid stats? | 17:31 |
| LjL | Anyway you know what, rmonten[m] as well, I don't feel guilty either for blocking exports to Australia. They *are* doing decent, and we are not at all. It's probably their own merit for doing things more properly, but doesn't change the fact that if you told Italians that during the disastrous situation we have, and with barely any vaccines available, we're exporting them to Australia where the situation is kinda under control... Well they wouldn't be happy | 17:31 |
| Arsanerit | asdflkj: no | 17:31 |
| LjL | Maybe after we all get vaccinated we can do a bit of charity here and there to quench any lingering sense of guilt | 17:31 |
| Arsanerit | LjL: Do you think the EU should only export vaccines to countries that do not have the situation kind of under control? | 17:32 |
| LjL | Arsanerit: it would make more sense to prioritize that way, yes. Which conveniently means that for the time being, we should export to ourselves. | 17:33 |
| Arsanerit | Are the AstraZeneca, Moderna, Johnson&Johnson, and Biontech vaccines produced anywhere else than US, UK, EU? | 17:36 |
| de-facto | i partly agree with that, since vaccines mostly protect from severe progressions and fatal outcome it makes sense to concentrate those resources on where the effect of them is the most: in areas with high incidence where elderly and risk groups have such threads to their health and life | 17:36 |
| Arsanerit | I'm surprised no Swiss company is prominent among the vaccines. | 17:36 |
| asdflkj | > Also I better not comment on your views of America < I know our government commits some serious crimes against humanity (war crimes, torture, etc.) but we do try to limit them as much as we common people can limit such a massive powerful force and hopefully there's some improvement in some areas compared to previous superpowers like the Roman Empire (with its mass crucifixions | 17:37 |
| asdflkj | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifixion#Society_and_law) | 17:37 |
| LjL | Arsanerit, India is the country producing the most AZ | 17:37 |
| rmonten[m] | LjL: Yeah, Australia's reaction was surprisingly generous in my opinion. They are doing well and they contented themselves to pointing it out. I'm sure they'll be receiving more vaccines soon. This move wasn't directed against them, but to put pressure on Astrazeneca. | 17:37 |
| de-facto | but also since noone of the other vaccine producers is sharing its important to share at least some minor amounts to countries that dont have a production running yet (e.g. AUstralia, Canada etc) in order for them to at least vaccinate their most high priority groups such as medical personal etc | 17:37 |
| Arsanerit | LjL: Aha, interesting. | 17:37 |
| de-facto | basically i think a fair compromise could save the most damage to health and life globally | 17:38 |
| Arsanerit | asdflkj: Congratulations on not crucifying people. | 17:38 |
| rmonten[m] | I read somewhere that the EU has exported 8 million doses since the end of January, when the oversight regulations came into effect, so that's not nothing. | 17:38 |
| LjL | Arsanerit, and of course there's Sputnik V which you haven't mentioned by a few countries (including EU countries that are technically breaching their promise to stick to EU agreements) are buying | 17:38 |
| LjL | others are probably buying China's vaccines but i'm not really sure | 17:38 |
| Arsanerit | LjL: Yes, I know Russia is exporting Sputnik V, but I don't think it's produced anywhere outside Russia? | 17:39 |
| asdflkj | Arsanerit: thanks :P | 17:39 |
| de-facto | so imho a black and white approach is not the right one here, we need some sort of compromise hence some shade of gray in terms of sharing vaccine production capacity because we are not alone with our problems here in EU | 17:39 |
| LjL | Arsanerit, it's produced in South Korea | 17:40 |
| rmonten[m] | de-facto: I agree, it's important to eradicate this virus globally. And in the first stages, vaccinating the most vulnerable population seems to be very impactful. | 17:40 |
| Arsanerit | LjL: Interesting. | 17:40 |

| LjL | <Brainstorm> New from r/WorldNews: worldnews: WHO chief: waive Covid vaccine patents to put world on 'war footing' → https://is.gd/UWmFZx | 17:40 |
| LjL | maybe this is kinda more important than the EU immolating itself for the sake of exporting doses to others | 17:40 |
| Arsanerit | rmonten[m]: I agree, but it seems many people in the EU are upset that the EU is slower in vaccinating than US and UK, and I don't see "that's because we allow exports and they don't" as an explanation very often. | 17:41 |
| Arsanerit | I'm all for waiving vaccine patents but how long would it take to set up mRNA vaccine production in, say, Nigeria or Brazil? 6 months? 12 months? | 17:41 |
| LjL | Arsanerit, well that may be because it's not the primary explanation... the primary one being that AZ and, to a lesser extent, Pfizer and Moderna, are underdelivering | 17:42 |
| Brainstorm | New from ClinicalTrials.gov: (news): Safety, Tolerance and Immunogenicity of EuCorVac-19 for the Prevention of COVID-19 in Healthy Adults → https://is.gd/VQ6qJq | 17:42 |
| Arsanerit | LjL: It's not the primary explanation, but it's an aspect, isn't it? | 17:42 |
| LjL | Arsanerit, 6 months or 12 months is probably even optimistic (Sanofi said they will start producing Pfizer, but not earlier than August), but if you project the vaccination completion dates for those countries, you get like 2030 | 17:42 |
| de-facto | yes investing or focusing on ramping up production rates for vaccines makes the most sense by far | 17:43 |
| LjL | https://covidvax.org/ has the projected completion dates based on current delivery rates | 17:43 |
| de-facto | and it is done to some extend if it is enough is still disputable imho | 17:43 |
| LjL | (for countries that have started, at least) | 17:43 |
| LjL | de-facto, it most likely isn't while patents are held jealously | 17:43 |
| de-facto | yeah but thats a linear extrapolation, production cap will ramp up | 17:43 |
| LjL | i know the present, i don't claim to predict the future | 17:44 |
| LjL | as i said, it's projected based on current rates | 17:44 |
| de-facto | i mean covidvax, they are surely underestimating vaccination rates because they assume at "current rate" hence linear increase, but the rate itself will increase with production cap | 17:44 |
| de-facto | yeah | 17:45 |
| Arsanerit | Maybe UK will finish vaccinating ahead of EU and then lift its export ban. | 17:45 |

| LjL | (but https://www.omnicalculator.com/health has some other countries) | 17:46 |
| LjL | Arsanerit, well that would be nice since our AZ contract *says* that we are meant to receive doses from the UK plants, as it was basically written when the UK was still functionally part of the EU (a silly assumption on the EU's part, of course, like many others in their contracts apparently) | 17:47 |
| de-facto | 167k vaccinations or vaccine doses per day in Italy? | 17:47 |
| de-facto | that should be one order of magnitude more i guess (and hopefully will be possible with production cap upgrades?) | 17:48 |
| LjL | de-facto, 1.7 million, and per week, but i dunno | 17:48 |
| LjL | probably vaccinations given what this thing is meant to calculate | 17:48 |
| LjL | but i don't think this one is saying that 1.7 million per week *is* the current rate (it isn't) | 17:49 |
| de-facto | btw those numbers are similar to Germany but Italy got smaller population | 17:49 |
| LjL | this one projects based on a few things that are still unknown, since, officially, nobody knows when i will get vaccinated, as there is not a plan for younger people yet | 17:50 |
| de-facto | Germany got 138% of the population of Italy but similar vaccination rates, hence Italy is ahead with vaccinaitons | 17:50 |
| LjL | de-facto, for now we are giving less than a million doses a week | 17:50 |
| LjL | but yes, Italy is just ahead of Germany on covidvax | 17:51 |
| LjL | it's just the whole EU that's doing badly | 17:51 |

| asdflkj | LjL: I appreciate the use of Nitter instead of twitter.com. Would you consider similarly replacing old.reddit with Teddit[.net or other instance]? | 23:16 |

| asdflkj | I think so | 23:21 |

| asdflkj | https://teddit.net/r/worldnews?api=&type=rss | 23:22 |
