Why don't people look up data points before making unreasonable statements? Reflects poorly on their data analysis and critical thinking skills.

Example: so many people on this bowl arguing "What about the increase in suicides due to safer-at-home? We must reopen bc the cure is worse than the disease?"

A simple google search shows 48k US suicide deaths in 2018. We have 67k US Covid19 deaths across ~2 months and rising.

Sure there COULD be an increase in suicides but to suggest that the net increase is more than Covid19 deaths avoided is unreasonable.

You’re missing the point of the argument these people are making.

Other deaths and illnesses ARE NOT stopping simply because COVID is around. Suicides and deaths due to addiction are up YoY and are forecasted to continue rising by mental health experts as more people lose jobs and businesses. Additionally, people are dying from not getting access to therapies for things like cancer and others aren’t getting preventative diagnostic surgeries like biopsies that in the long run could make a person worse off. That is the point people are making.

Just because COVID is here doesn’t mean other health problems go away and other deaths disappear. A portion of this deaths is set to increase due to the lockdowns and reduced access to care.

The government method right now is summed up as robbing Peter to pay Paul. We’ll save potentially X number of lives by locking down but we’ll crush X number of lives in the process. There needs to be a balance and right now the solution is unevenly crushing the X number of lives facing unemployment, reduced health care access, addiction, etc.

If they were trying to have a “reasonable” discussion they would have brought facts in the first place. I think you answered your own question: it’s not reasonable.

Because people don't care to be right, they want to believe that the things they believe in are true, and more and more people are becoming ideologically possessed.

10 million die a year due to starvation and we don't do jack shit about it. I think that figure has been that high for at least a decade.

I'm not a business owner, but I think it would be reasonable for a business owner to not want to lose their business and have to declare bankruptcy because 60k have died.

Let's say the 2020 Covid19 death toll will be 200k. If 200k deaths is enough to justify this level of government control, there will basically be nothing the government can't justify doing.

We have 3 million deaths each year, many of which probably died through no fault of their own. The government can't provide guarantees about death.

How do you keep all of your notes-to-self organized? Not actual work product or drafts, but the kinds of things you jot down in meetings or as you’re working (e.g., “client prefers DE choice of law over NY” or “x agreement is best example of negotiated MSA”). I’m using OneNote, but I’m curious how others do it.

Hello all, I am at the panel interview for the salesforce PA interview. I would really appreciate the help from the SF folks if they could provide some insights regarding the preparation and what topics/points I should consider for the presentation ?

I am hesitating to take lead role. But for my experience (8 YOE) I will have to take up that role at least in my next switch.

Could you please suggest me how can I come out of this fear. I am afraid of taking lead role because of below things.

1. Taking ownership for entire team deliverables.
2. Had to attend every requirement call and as well as technical review calls. (When BA is not good, need to provide acceptance criteria points).
3. Providing and justifying resource/work estimates.
