What is wrong with this god-damned site? Seriously, this post was #25 on the front page, I check again and it's buried 4 pages deep literally 10 minutes later.

Some people in this community are in really deep denial and do not understand the concept of asymmetric risk.

This is a clearly written piece that can be shared widely with your network, especially for people who may not be clued in to the situation. Please share this.

I don't get this either - the front page has many posts with fewer points over a longer period. Maybe downvotes are treated differently from upvotes in the sorting algorithm?

I think it's more likely they don't understand the concept of exponential growth.

China had to literally shut down their entire economy just to slow the virus.

Our only hope is warm weather and some way to speed vaccine development.
