How to go skiing despite a winter of Covid restrictions
Planning a ski holiday may seem daunting but resorts are open – and if the continent seems too far, hit the slopes in Scotland
I'm sure this will put all your minds at rest.

Scientists call for Covid herd immunity strategy for young
Critics describe proposal to isolate vulnerable, disabled and older people as ‘grotesque’
Somewhat irresponsible reporting imo.

Statistical illiteracy isn't a niche problem. During a pandemic, it can be fatal | Carlo Rovelli
In recent months, we’ve all been bombarded with numbers. It’s vital that we learn how to interpret them, says physicist and author Carlo Rovelli
Well you sound like a bit of an idiot and not someone who should be lecturing others on probability.
Also I don't believe this happened.

it depends if they moved the table or not - if they didn't the probability alters significantly for the other tiles not covered by chairs or tableStatistical illiteracy isn't a niche problem. During a pandemic, it can be fatal | Carlo Rovelli

Also fails to take into consideration the possibility of a through-breeze and an open window, and appears to make an unwarranted assumption that all the tiles are the same size.
No point in having statisticians if you don't balance them with twice as many pedants.
ETA: Twice as many or some other multiple.

And assumes there are 400 people in the building. Plus ignores Shewhart/Deming's statistical work on time-series data and special/common causes
Eta. More accurate experiment would be to throw 400 each of say 30 different coloured grains of rice to represent 30 diseases they could have had and see how many tiles had five and only five of the colour representing that particular disease.

The author is a theoretical physicist specialising in quantum gravity. I would have expected him to at least understand the assumptions better and why they were wrong.Statistical illiteracy isn't a niche problem. During a pandemic, it can be fatal | Carlo Rovelli

Something I observed working in a university many years ago - there's very clever people who have no concept of reality or common sense.

I can just imagine the fun times they had chucking rice around at a dinner party, until somebody asked who was clearing it up...
