True. Ganja probably doesn't do much to improve your driving skills...
Speaking of... no, not really, but, anyway...
Daily corona deaths hitting four digits in Brazil now.
Another country run by a yuge hydroxichloroquine fan.
And they're probably not even counting the ones in the favelas or the jungle.
Whatever you do, always give 100 %!

Not yet peer-reviewed, but this study contends that a disproportionate amount of the spread of covid is due to "super-spreaders". This could explain some of the wide variance between countries. I wouldn't be surprised if much of the spread in the US is in the name of "freedom".

... suggesting that 80% of secondary transmissions may have been caused by a small fraction of infectious individuals (~10%)
Conclusions: Our finding of a highly-overdispersed offspring distribution highlights a potential benefit to focusing intervention efforts on superspreading. As most infected individuals do not contribute to the expansion of an epidemic, the effective reproduction number could be drastically reduced by preventing relatively rare superspreading events.

That is encouraging. It is hinting many people may be back working soon. Safely of course.Farhan Lalji@FarhanLaljiTSN
Asked Dr Henry about a timeline for #Canucks #BCLions & #VWFC to be able to fully open their practice facilities. All have plans being reviewed by Worksafe BC. Nothing definite, but she said “early to mid June” was a possibility

Is she saying that the flu is less of a threat than the coronavirus?
Is she saying that coronavirus is really as scary as the WHO and various fear mongering media outlets are saying?
As soon as it spread beyond China there should have been a 30 day international travel ban and a 3 week mandatory isolation for everyone. Then full return to normal. One and done.
Or, just let 'er buck. Get to herd immunity as quickly as possible.

The problem with Mëds solution is that you have accomplished nothing.

Cross-posted from News and Notes ...

The COVID-19 death risk in people <65 years old during the period of fatalities from the epidemic was equivalent to the death risk from driving between 13 and 101 miles per day for 11 countries and 6 states, and was higher (equivalent to the death risk from driving 143-668 miles per day) for 6 other states and the UK.
This is another piece of fake news making the rounds of late. So-called journalists are truncating a sentence from this study so as to ignore the part that doesn't support their narrative.

Yes, and the death rate is savagely high for those 65+
