They are to blame as much as anyone else

throwaway122378··on CDC coronavirus testing decision likely to haunt nation for months to come
What’s your point? The WHO lost all credibility.

As late as January 14, 2020 the WHO tweeted that there is NO evidence of human to human transmission of covid-19

throwaway122378··on Ask HN: How are you preparing for COVID-19 disruptions?
Stupid question (or maybe not?) but theoretically speaking would someone who's willing to take the chance (~96%) benefit from intentionally contracting COVID now, while hospitals (in the US) are still no where near capacity, get treatment, recover and be immune?

throwaway122378··on What happened to Mint?
On the surface it’s a great tool to consolidate all of my financial accounts in real time- checking, savings, credit cards, and investments. With a little effort the categorization of each transaction was helpful in tracking my spending. That’s where the usefulness ended. Most categories became cluttered with noise after a while and when I left there were no bill pay tools (not sure if they have those now?). Budgeting tools weren’t smart and at some point I started seeing ads for new credit cards each time I logged in. They has access to every single transaction I made, priceless data, and blew it.
