The ascending numbers experiment was quite revealing. Thanks for sharing!
Generally speaking, the media is shifting more and more towards hysteria new reporting, instead of going into it with the goal to educate the civilisation. I get it, fear sells, but I do hope that somehow we could incentivize news coverage to put a focus into education instead of hype.
The snopes article was actually quite good. Especially the last part:
You can protect yourself in the same way as you would against other respiratory illness: by being vigilant about hand-washing and practising good cough and sneeze etiquette, which means coughing or sneezing into your flexed elbow or into a tissue, and washing your hands.
But still, why isn't there anything mentioned about maintaining a healthy immune system? Good sleep, high-quality food and other stuff: i.e Wim Hoff Breathing etc. That would be something to actually help people, instead of creating even more fear.
Yeah, for real. Much of the "food" most people eat has very little nutritional content to support our bodies. I'm very thankful to be married to a woman who cooks real food and participates in CSA's (community supported agriculture).
Yeah, that video is one of my favorites for quickly understanding how we actually gain knowledge. It's counter intuitive, but when we are wrong, that's the best thing!
Finding a collection of people when delving into trying to uncover fact from fiction has become a tedious task, still a good thing to question everything from many angles.
Take 5G WHO says yeah, when scientists in various fields related to the topic strongly oppose, most times I go with scientists once more than a few public works have been published.
Yeah, the 5G thing is a great example. I have friends who are convinced it will have devastating consequences on human wellbeing while I know other people who have worked in the wireless telecommunications industry for decades who are convinced it's completely fine and the people concerned fundamentally don't understand the technology so they are demonstrating their fear driven by ignorance.
For myself, I'm hoping whatever is thrown my way, my body can adjust and evolve through positive epigenetic changes to survive and thrive. :)
IMHO I don't care what people do to each other, I do take objection to destroying animal life, negatively affecting environment.
Man is so greedy (part of our destructive nature), they will continue with cloak and dagger ideas to further enrich themselves.
As humans I think our bodies have been adjusting to whatever has come our way for decades already, as we change so does nature in viruses and the likes.
When I was still with Ramsey, we built a log aggregation system for populating our data lake for analytics. I named it 'apophenia' out of fear that we would use it to infer patterns with insufficient mathematical rigor.
I don't know how many of its users know what the word means, but I just visited earlier this month, and the dev team is still using 'apophenia.'
That's awesome, man. Super fun to think the word is being used in perfect context with significance and yet people still don't understand the meaning behind it. Great use of the word!
I’m not familiar enough with that flight tracking site or its data source to comment on it. I don’t know if those are WHO flights or whether the media is full of BS when it says flights have been shut down.
It’s very possible this will blow over, but it’s also true that millions of people died in 1918 from outbreaks that were as deadly and as viral as things we’re seeing today. We were lucky that SARS wasn’t very resilient but we may not be so lucky next time. Stuff like this is taken seriously for a reason. Read the history on this stuff.
i'm a human troll. this will blow over, and you will look back and forget, getting absorbed in the next crisis they throw at you. remember when world war 3 with iran was all the rage?
the flights are listed below the tracker. how many WHO flights do you think there are?
i believe nothing on the telescreen, because of years of experience of their total lies and deception. wmd's, syria chemcial attacks, climate change (nee global warming,) just otomh.
it's not theory, it's all provable. you know the gulf of tonkin never happened right? declassified lies that took the u.s. to another long war and killed thousands of young men.
the world is run by evil people, and they control all of it. digital cashless currency coming shortly too. the ultimate tyrants' tool.
The "official" number of infected people is 2,000 (Sunday, January 26th). If this number is doubling every two days, then we will have 65 million infected people at the end of February. If the morbidity is 2 -4 % , we will have ...In case of a pandemic, news are are often late compare to facts, which cannot be assess properly.

Excellent post. New word learned: Apophenia

Wolski!

it's all over the media, which immediately makes me suspicious.
flights also still going in and coming out of wuhan airport make me even more suspicious:

if snopes say i should be worried ( i read their piece) i will be sleeping soundly.
“If snopes...”
Did you just commit the genetic fallacy I described in my post?
yes, on purpose - thanks for taking the bait and ignoring my other points.
in less than 2 weeks, this won't be news any more, just like the last thing and the next thing.
Taking the bait? Are you a human or a troll?

no joke:
mind bending video, but I should have had my coffee first.
It's worth watching many times, before and after coffee. :)

I tweeted about a tool for tracking things which is pretty cool:
