  1. Japanese <deleted> were shunned when first introduced? Really? Are you being sarcastic? Or just racist? This is from an article published in 1988 from MIT's Sloan Management Review. Manufacturing Innovation: Lessons from the Japanese Auto Industry HE FACT THAT JAPANESE MANUFACTURERS made tremendous inroads on the global automobile market during the 1970s will surprise nobody. What may surprise many is that Toyota’s productivity rates exceeded U.S. manufacturers’ as long ago as the 1960s. Business historian Michael A. Cusumano details the spectacular developments in Japanese productivity, quality, and process flexibility that have occurred over the past thirty years. https://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/manufacturing-innovation-lessons-from-the-japanese-auto-industry/
  2. Now I get it. What can I say apart from "Duh"?. And "Thanks."
  3. Over what length of time are these totals per 100k derived from?
  4. Did you actually look at the page you linked to? Asia hardly figures and South America not at all. Basically, it's all about Africa. https://ourworldindata.org/energy-access
  5. And a continent where China has almost 1/3 of the total population of Asia. Also a continent where incomes were increasingly rapid in much of it until Covid hit.
  6. These look like cumulative cases not daily cases. Over what length of time are these numbers derived from?
  7. And what percentage of the world's autos are currently being purchased by people so poor that they haven't got electricity? As for Asia... How China Became The World's Largest Electric Vehicle Market https://finance.yahoo.com/news/china-became-worlds-largest-electric-193843992.html
  8. Well, the real problem is not the tourists but the accompanying relaxation of domestic rules. Thailand clearly doesn't have the vaccination levels high enough to cope with that.
  9. Do you mean that solar is expensive to install in general and of poor quality, or are you referring specifically to Thailand?
  10. I'm sure this has been pointed out before, but the numbers cited above are only numerators. You need the denominator, i.e. the population of each province, to make comparisons meaningful.
  11. Science is all about the odds. The question is how likely is it that the vaccine will have latent effects (long term effects doesn't mean what you think it means)? There's never been an instance where a vaccine is shown to have latent effects. On the other hand Ithere are at least 3 viral diseases that do have latent effects: the polio virus, the varicella (chickenpox) virus, and the human papiloma virus. So if anyone is is more likely to be doubly wrong, it's those who oppose vaccination.
  12. We are witnessing the birth among ivermectin fans of a new psychological syndrome:: fluvoxamine envy.
  13. https://www.power-technology.com/features/featurethe-worlds-longest-power-transmission-lines-4167964/
  14. Probably a good time to dump one's stocks in generic ivermectin manufacturers.
  15. Do more than 99% of people who come down with symptoms survive? What about hospitalizationsializations? What would that odds for that be in people experiencing symptoms? You think it's a good thing that hospital resources are being directed at a disease that could be treated at home?
  16. It would cost $10 to treat someone vs. $700 for molnupirovir. And if the results of the study hold up, it's far more effective.
  17. Really? I've made predictions for 50 years in advance? What would those be?
  18. How did they ever let this study of a widely available and cheap generic drug be released? The antidepressant fluvoxamine can keep COVID-19 patients out of the hospital A 10-day course may work as an easy at-home treatment for early COVID-19, a clinical trial finds An inexpensive, easy-to-take pill could be the next weapon in the arsenal against COVID-19. Taking the antidepressant fluvoxamine within days of showing symptoms of an infection can dramatically cut the risk of hospitalization and death, suggests the largest trial to date of this FDA-approved generic drug as a COVID-19 treatment. In newly infected COVID-19 patients at high risk of complications, a 10-day course of the antidepressant fluvoxamine cut hospitalizations by two-thirds and reduced deaths by 91 percent in patients who tolerated the medicine, researchers report October 27 in the Lancet Global Health. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/covid-antidepressant-fluvoxamine-drug-hospital-death
  19. 50 years? Anything else from that crystal ball to report? Maybe it has a filter that keeps out the develop of such technologies as structural batteries. http://sustainableskies.org/massless-batteries-aircraft/ https://innovationorigins.com/en/how-researchers-plan-to-integrate-the-structural-battery-into-aircraft-components/ https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2482/electric-airplanes-batteries-included/ And keep in mind that fossil fueled engines are a lot more inefficient than electric powered engines.
  20. Whereas this Bogan's failed predictions about Tesla make him look intelligent?
  21. I'll have you know that the President of Tanzania emphatically denied that Covid had killed anyone in his country. And he kept on denying it right up until the the time he died from it.
