Thanks for posting this. It's a great site with a lot of details that I had not seen elsewhere. Alas, there's an announcement on the site that today (3/7/21) is the last day that they will be collecting data. Again, thanks.

Re: Reasons why I will not be getting injected for the Wuhan
What I find completely baffling is how many seem incapable of changing viewpoints as evidence comes in. What I think is relatively clear from the evidence. Masks and lockdowns do work and were implemented even in heavy red states when things got out of control For the large majority, COVID ranged f...

Re: mathjak's daytrading adventures
Not to hijack mathjak's day trading thread too much but I think Insurance Guy has the right dates for that max drawdown. kbg, is the 29% real or nominal? I think that IG is correct that it was less than 29% in nominal terms (haven''t looked at the granular data in ages), but we can't forget that inf...

Re: COVID Cases Sharply Declining: Why This Is Worst Case Scenario
I was curious to look into this as I have seen for months that Covid doesn't seem to be nearly as bad in sub-Sahara Africa as it is in Europe and the U.S.. Africa has a much younger population than the US and Europe: Median age of 19.7 compared to 38.1 and 42.5, respectively. Age is the biggest ris...

On the narrative of Covid being worse for Blacks and Latinos... I have heard this virtually non-stop in recent months and never bothered to check the numbers online.

Here in CT the vaccine has been available to those 65 and over since about 2/8.

Those groups will be followed by residents age...

The top category is those over 75 plus others. That's just horrible. And in a Blue state too. Vinny, Your friend might...

dualstow, do you carry any extra body weight? As others have mentioned, that can be the cause of sleep apnea. I don't suffer from it myself (I have myriad other sleep issues which are not solved by Mark's easy five-step program), but I do know someone who only gets sleep apnea when his weight goes a...

I'm always trying to temper your drive to get married soon, but I will say there is one good thing about having someone sleep next to you. Even when paralyzed, I can breathe, so if I'm aware that I’m stuck in S.P., I start breathing loudly and rapidly, she shakes me awake, and I snap out of it. If ...

You guys are worry warts. This becomes another flu shot, no lockdowns. My opinion. That's certainly what should happen. But I guess we'll see how the media decides to spin new viruses going forward.

In the 1980s and early 1990s, the NBA was a pretty rough place with the Pistons beating up people on their way to a couple of titles and the ...
