(62,444 posts)The thing is, taking Good & Plenty's will get you to "80% do well" since that is the proportion of cases that resolve without significant symptoms if you give people NOTHING AT ALL.
It would be amusing watching baby learn to count to 100 if it weren't so deadly that he can't figure it out.

Peter Kent Navarro is an American economist who currently serves as the Assistant to the President, Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, and as the national Defense Production Act policy coordinator.
Ron Vara
In six of his books about China, Navarro quotes a "Ron Vara", whom he describes as a China hawk and former Harvard PhD doctoral student in economics, and who says crass Sinophobic things about China and the Chinese. An investigation by the Chronicle found that this character was made up, and that Ron Vara (an anagram of Navarro) appeared to represent views that Navarro himself held.[82][83] Navarro has admitted to making up the character and quoting him in his books. Economist Glenn Hubbard, who co-authored Seeds of Destruction with Navarro,[84] has said he was not aware that Vara was fictional and that he was not okay with it. [85] In December 2019, a memo apparently authored by Ron Vara began circulating in Washington DC. The memo highlighted the "Keep Tariff Argument" and the use of tariffs against China a few days before an additional 15% tariff on $160 billion of Chinese made goods was set to be implemented. Navarro later confirmed that he had written the memo.[86]
