Thanks for sharing. Lyn Alden is one of the better independent voices out there.

This is great. People need to be careful about inferring certain details from headline numbers. I think hospitals are also incentivized to test and label patient Covid if they can, since they'll be reimbursed more. In any case, it seems like the reason fatality rate is decreasing is that at-risk people (i.e. old, obese, respiratory issues, etc) are taking more precautions and being smart. The young continue to be stupid.

This is very sad to see. I lived in Hong Kong in 2011-2012 and you could already see the tension whenever "mainlanders" came over, bought suitcases, then filled them up on luxury shopping trips. A lot of the spirit I saw from the people of HK seemed similar to that of Americans: fiercely independent, very entrepreneurial, and believed that things kept getting better.

How many times would you double check the address before hitting send? I would think to minimize risk, would slice this up into a few transactions...

Great article. I majored in Electrical and Computer Engineering roughly 20 years ago at a top US university. Even then, my classes were probably 2/3 international students. I fear that the recent rhetoric from the White House (shutting down H-1B visas) and general impact of Covid on globalism is going to make this problem in many countries like the US. Just as the legal and medical fields got saturated in the 80s and 90s and the preferred career track for high pay and job security, I predict that the same will happen with computer science in the near future. I think most future innovation will come from fields like biology.

For all the rhetoric coming out of the White House, it's surprising that there is not a more widely instituted TikTok ban in the US.
