Hahaha. My Norwegian buddies always told me Danish is how drunk Norwegians speak. A friend of mine works in Denmark and she told me, the best compliments she gets about her Danish is that she must be Norwegian. Scandinavian banter about Denmark never gets old
This clip (in English) suddenly feels extremely relevant. Scandinavian banter (Danish).

I didn't know that Denmark is considered the Arkansas of Scandinavia.

Funny how this is seemingly on paceThe latest Trump planner thinks that 200,000 deaths is too few. He’s going for 2 million!
Trump's new pandemic boss Scott Atlas pushes ‘herd immunity’ plan, 2 million+ Americans would have to die
"With a population of 328 million in the United States, it may require 2.13 million deaths to reach a 65 percent threshold of herd immunity, assuming the virus has a 1 percent fatality rate,…boingboing.net

This is what I'm talking about. I find these things really cute. I consider nordic languages (except for Finnish of course) a form of english, this is why my norwegian friends speak perfect english. Dutch on the other hand sounds like an aphasic German trying to speak English. My brain mostly tells me I should comprehend, but then sends my syntax error messages.
I'd emphasize that even then we had enough data to be very concerned about transient immunity (which I voiced over and over again).
I'm gonna look up where Scott Atlas is now.
Update: of course. A book. That's what happened to Atlas. Reviews consistently coming from fringe websites... I usually stop reading when they try to tell me that Fauci is pro-lockdown but fail to mention how incredibly wrong Atlas has been on herd immunity.

My very very rudimentary review of COVID curves (from NYT because, convenience).
This reminds me of my MR frenemy. I hope he's OK, he told me about a year ago that COVID will disappear (""from the media"") after the election. Guy's been holding his breath for a while...

He's educated and AFAIR got vaccinated too. Yet he was parroting every single talking point.
One of the things these people do is recite Rand Paul's questions.

BS doesn't really hit my thresholds, but he usually talks about irrelevant stuff. He also ruined my favorite medical term (logorrhea = pressured speech).
RP isn't very deserving of more of my time, but I'll say, I do consider myself objectively more qualified than him on medical matters.
Except for ophthalmology, of course.

This is interesting:

I don't ascribe any altruistic motivations here — he thinks this benefits him politically, which it may, and he takes all the credit. But it's amusing to see the MAGA anti-vaxxers' (they're not synonymous) heads spinning. Candace Owens tried to shift the blame for deaths this year to Biden, and Trump countered her.

Donald, blink twice if Dr Fauci is making you say this at gunpoint!

Meh
One of his lawyer friends may have also hypothesized how he could be facing a class action lawsuit at the end of this for all of the anti-vax nonsense. This could be damage control.
