I want to appeal the flag! This discussion is interesting, and there are relatively few loons.

Same here, but the vouch option is just not there fore some reason. Strange.

Agreed; even outside of the COVID-19 topic, I'm a big fan of this style of clear Bayesian arguing and think a lot of HN users would be interested in it. I have no idea how strong the actual analysis is, here, but the format is refreshing.

I wish all arguments about everything ever had a page like this; ideally with Wiki-style features like forks and suggested edits or something like that. At the moment I think they just rely on comments rather than something like a Wiki, but the overall model seems really appealing.

And, also, with respect to the COVID-19 topic, here people can actually argue about explicit and delineated claims rather than jumping into politics, which I think is way more interesting and productive. If I were dang (and I know I'm very much not) I'd keep the thread open but enforce a strict rule that all comments should be directly related to this page and not derail into the usual heat and noise.

Alright, we'll try turning the flags off for the time being.
