our policies are not being driven by science in the hypothesis-experiment-evaluate sense but by science in the sense of some rando with a secret-sauce model and a megaphone

But that's real science. I know cause that same guy told me about global warming.

Settled Science

Please, please reopen the schools.

Putting in an 8 hour day at the kitchen table, makeshift office or den, and supervising, entertaining and homeschooling kids is bringing parents to a breaking point.

A Zoom meeting with colleagues and boss while kids scream, “Stop it, I'm telling,” in the background is crazy. And Nanas are quarantined and cannot help.

Based on science, not modeling

Only a scientific ignoramus would write a totally meaningless statement like that.

By stating that virus level are low in children and therefore they don't transmit the disease, they have created ... ready for this... A MODEL, which they then use to predict a future outcome.

That is what modeling is. Nothing more, nothing less. That they don't have a mathematical model from which to make numerical predictions only means that his is a rather sloppy model. But model it is.

There is a broadly held view that if you can't build a model to make future predictions that you can compare against data, you are not doing science at all.

The general ignorance on this subject demonstrates an appalling failure of education in this country.

It would be nice if this Swiss study could be translated from French to English..... This would be a total bombshell if children are not capable of transmitting the virus to others..... We know the mainstream media won’t cover this... Any French-speaking Freepers out there who can have a go at this please?
