@Mr. Tea Talk about a pivot. From saying NZ's lockdown was early thus short (untrue, unless you really want the areas that are just sheep to lock down forever as well), you then say it was great because it prolonged the period of infections, with the only reason that may have helped being that they lucked out with the decreasing virulence of the virus.

Their lockdowns in the first two years of the pandemic kept their death rate at virtually nil. So, undeniably, it worked.

Then they had widespread waves of infections of a much less bad virus, which you're salty about because it ought to have killed a lot more people than it did, which isn't fair. *stamps foot, pouts*

(BTW, it's not just 'luck' - it's an extremely common feature of infectious diseases that they get less virulent over time.)

Boris Johnson is on record as saying "let the bodies pile high." If anyone here is on Team Boris, it's you and HMG.

Yes, less virulent because Farr's law but you didn't tone down your existential risk rhetoric when Omicron poked its head around the corner.

As for Team Boris, he soon decided to be the bedwetters' sponge thereby squeezing Labour's position into irrelevance. Once he had looked at you seriously through your TV set and told you to go up to bed you just wanted him to Boris you even harder every night.

Of course, your Ardern hard-on would swiftly detumesce had the same policy been attempted in GB as they are very different contexts, with GB's the far more challenging.

If the UK and NZ are not comparable, then why did you start comparing them several pages ago?

Biscetti wears a bow-tie, drank bleach as a kid for dares, can only digest ice cream now with a terrible chip where his bowel was, hence the Edwin habit (a sartorial dispensary I’m quite fond of too), gilets, bright fluorescent wooly sock hats, polka dotted shirts, cargo shorts in surreal colours imported from abroad damp with the still-fresh tears of child labourers, subsequently used in paraphilic masturbatory rites to portraits of a partially dressed Trump

HMGuv wears undersized t-shirts to the village pub and car dealership, sporting brands like Norrøna, Fjällräven maybe berghaus, primary colours and military themed, the latter he hides from his spouse in a hidey-hole under the stairs. Tweed waistcoat over Barbour shirts for Waitrose, footwear a tougher read - flats or even new balance or cryptocreepers which look like a robust German sandal-dap-tank hybrids, def not a bootcut trouser man but insurrectionist fatigues for trips to the coastline

Tea wears purple and black cardigans even in the heat, full goth-Lewbowski

Within the last few pages of this thread I've become a milquetoast liberal bedwetter, a communist dictator and a far-right militiaman.

Fantastic.

In this chapter, I provide argument and evidence that the scope of people's ignorance is often invisible to them. This meta-ignorance (or ignorance of ignorance) arises because lack of expertise and knowledge often hides in the realm of the “unknown unknowns” or is disguised by erroneous beliefs and background knowledge that only appear to be sufficient to conclude a right answer.

As empirical evidence of meta-ignorance, I describe the Dunning–Kruger effect, in which poor performers in many social and intellectual domains seem largely unaware of just how deficient their expertise is. Their deficits leave them with a double burden—not only does their incomplete and misguided knowledge lead them to make mistakes but those exact same deficits also prevent them from recognizing when they are making mistakes and other people choosing more wisely.

The present preliminary findings must be interpreted in the light of several limitations. The DKMA-managed spontaneous SAE reporting system in Denmark is a passive surveillance system akin to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) in the US, and reports from these systems are subject to reporting biases, with potential for both under- and over-reporting, as well as incomplete data and variable quality of the reported information. Owing to these inherent limitations, signals detected by these systems must be considered to be hypothesis-generating and generally cannot be used to establish causality.
