How do you reckon?
The CIs are large enough that we have no fucking clue about the prevalence based on this study. The study provides hardly any useful information at all.

Rip, Noah is not correct. I've explained why, and don't care to explain further, since a 2nd version of the paper will soon address the shortcomings.
CIs are important precisely when sample sizes are small. Maybe your papers were published with grim mathematical errors, but this one received scrutiny and is being fixed.
Anecdote:
Friends of the family have kept their entire family in quarantine for the duration, with rigor, because of some vulnerabilities.The Mom (40s) is a diabetic and there are some other medical concerns elsewhere in their family. They just got tested for COVID. Results are positive, but they’re not feeling it. Another friend (geriatric nurse) tested positive, with no serious symptoms.

Among these videos there are many interviews of doctors and scientists discussing the danger of coronavirus and the current policy decisions that are being made in response. Did you miss these posts?
I wonder...
Is it futile for me to re-share these with you? Will you refute all of them? Will you insist that each and every individual in these videos is unqualified to comment? Surely some of these videos present reasonable ideas that are worth considering. No?
These two articles are the ones that you are referring to.

Please notice that these articles have different authors.
Trying to discredit the ideas of the "police state" article based upon the fact that it simply co-exists on the same website as the crazy "rainbow doritos make your kids gay" article is irrational. Perhaps you should discredit the "police state" article based upon its own merit (or lack of merit). And not based off of a different author's unrelated ramblings that just so happens to occupy another page on the same website.
By the way, its totally fine if you don't agree with the conclusions in the "police state" article. I just reject how you came about to deciding that it was not credible or worth discussing.
I suspected that you weren't trying to support your position with that clip. I decided to post anyway because I knew what you were getting at.
It is your opinion that those taking stances/viewpoints opposed to yours are trying to support their viewpoints with unsatisfactory sources. I wouldn't deny that this has happened a time or two or three in this thread.
However, I contend that there have been many sources shared in this thread that are satisfactory and worth some consideration that happen to disagree with your opinion. You seem to have missed or ignored these sources.
Agreed. I am happy to watch the discussion about the statistical merit from the sidelines.
Thanks.
Thanks for the encouraging words. I reasoned that being young and inexperienced comes with its own hassles and expenses that employers wouldn't want to deal with during these times. But perhaps you're right and young people like me will be favored more.
However, I don't want to succeed at someone else's expense. I hope older workers don't have it rough either.
Yeah, we did conduct some fairly thorough ethnic cleansing in the past 80 years or so, on numerous occasions. Funnily enough, the differences seem to completely fade away when we run into each other in countries we are migrating to in droves, but the purists back home are pretty happy with their culturally clean Lebensraum, except the Serbian ones, because NATO stopped them from cleaning up the southern part.
This is wrong. Sweden has been implementing physical distancing measures. The difference is that they are voluntary and not as intense as most other places.
Sweden would be doing even better had they more aggressively protected vulnerable populations (e.g. nursing homes).
