How to use Covid to measure Meteo
During the summer, the doubling delay was growing almost linearly, which was very good. In September, in most European countries, the situation rapidly deteriorated. The weather was very cold. About a week ago, the temperature started to go up - and the doubling delay quickly followed. It will be interesting to see what happens when weather becomes cold again.
(The cause of much worse evolution in Czechia has probably nothing to do with weather.)
Tragédie Česka
Ono i v zemích, kde vládnou populisti nebo cvoci se většinou vláda upřímně snaží to zvládnout. I takovej Trump nebo Bolsonaro nechce aby mu lidí zbytečně umírali.
Tragédie Česka je v tom, že Babišovi jde hlavně o to, aby na tom on osobně neprodělal (a pokud možno aby na tom vydělal). Důkazem je, že po páteční aféře Prymula odejde a Faltýnek zůstane.

Ideological Patterns
It is interesting how the same ideological patterns manifest themselves in various contexts.
In the same way as we are discussing whether people are dying because of covid or just with covid,
we don't agree whether terrorists kill because of islam or just with islam.
In fact, the parallel is even deeper: In both cases (covid, islam):
- One gets infected by longer contact with already infected person.
- Only a small fraction of infected people turns bad.
- But even such small number of people creates serious problems.

Jevy a ideje
Je zajímavé sledovat, jak mnoho společenských jevů a idejí
- vyjde z Evropy (většinou z Francie)
- realizuje se v USA, deformovaná puritanismem a populární kulturou
- po čase se oslabená vrátí do Evropy
- a v Česku se objeví jako svá karikatura
