I love how all the “rational” “analytical” “science-trusting” commenters in her choose to ignore data and “science” when it doesn’t fit their beliefs.

The article clearly states “ With our results, we were not able to explain if COVID-19 mortality is reduced by staying at home in ~ 98% of the comparisons after epidemiological weeks 9 to 34.”

And everyone’s conclusion in Hacker News is that the study must be flawed.

You apparently don’t believe viruses exist, so maybe sit this one out? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26461410
Particles exist, yes. A few scientists have spun the narrative that transmissible particles CAUSE illness. That is not proven.

Scientists harp on the fact that correlation and association, do not mean causation. Except in virology where circumstantial evidence is enough to upend the freedom of the world for the sake of an abundance of caution. This religion of virology.
