This is outright lying.
I've seen the difference wearing masks makes firsthand

What. The. Fuck!
This is from yesterday, too. I cannot believe the “experts” are still pushing this utter falsehood. Damn. We are so screwed.
ten years of lifting and all it takes is a pandemic to completely fuck my gains up

Still making gains. It’s why I already had all my equipment at home. And you don’t even need very much equipment — just a bench and two dumbbells is a great start.
Unsure of how to practice social distancing?
Just visualise the distance light travels in 6.67 nanoseconds between yourself and your friend. pic.twitter.com/YadLM2j4Eo

I actually think about how far light travels in a nanosecond often. But I’m just like that.
Periodic reminder the US Congress forces the military to stockpile mounds of equipment they don’t even want.
I don’t want to hear any bullshit about “what if we buy this ventilator and don’t use it.”https://t.co/Uf5OTycFxI— no (@SwiftOnSecurity) March 27, 2020
Can confirm. We had all kinds of extraneous equipment in the 82nd that no one wanted or asked for because some gobshite in Congress pork-barrelled it for us. Meanwhile, the equipment that we needed and used for actual missions and training was often in short supply.
Why Is America Choosing Mass Unemployment?
Because no one here understands how the economy works, including all the “economists” who claim it can just be rebooted like it’s some sort of cheap smartwatch.
Expertise is like hoarding gold. Shiny and spiffy when nothing is wrong. Actually useless in a crisis.
Radical Uncertainty: Decision-Making Beyond the Numbers by Kay, John, King, Mervyn.
Looks like a book I need to read soon.
People have real trouble understanding that quantum mechanics is fundamentally probabilistic. This misunderstanding is why you hear all the claptrap about determinism I guess.
But it’s not actually that hard to understand. Hell, even the math isn’t that hard to get your head around and I am a fucking dunce at math. The universe is fundamentally probabilistic because quantum mechanics is. That’s all there is to it.
One of the articles I'm most proud of. Generational character obviously exists and people who say it doesn't are guilty of special pleading.
(And I think my generation, Gen-X's, character, is terrible though not Boomer terrible.) https://t.co/kUGChzxNgn

Yet another case where scientists and “experts” are enormously, absurdly, comically wrong. Generational character very much exists, strongly so. It’s hilarious how scientists “test” in all the wrong ways for this and are so sure they are right. How is such blindness possible?
Even if an individual company could plan for the instant pulverization of 100% of their revenue for a period of time, it wouldn't matter on a macro level. It's the "at once-ness" of a global pandemic which requires the government to be the insurer of last resort. https://t.co/lG8TiGffsC

Yes. I saw some dipshit tweet earlier about how Microsoft under Bill Gates had enough cash on hand to pay one year of salary to all employees, implying that all businesses should do this. Easy to do if you are a de facto monopoly with 90% gross margins.
Most mid-size and small businesses operate on more like 10% gross margin so the above is just impossible.
When you know nothing, anything seems possible.
