Basically the current state of the internet in a nutshell right now. People assume any valid question of any data means that person is a denialist nutter or something. Fact is, we are working with very biased data and people, even the smart folks here, are misinterpreting it. The virus exists, but there is no data that tells us how widespread it is in the population. Odds are very good this sucker has been adrift for weeks or months and many of us already got it. But without good, random sampling we cannot prove or disprove that hypothesis.

About the only place I’ve seen where rational talk is allowed without getting flame to death is /r/covid19.

Hacker news, unfortunately, appears to have devolved into yet another place full of panic stricken people.
