Technically its not an ad hominem, its the argument from authority fallacy.


No one is saying your arguments are invalid because of your education. But you have repeatedly challenged the experts with overly simplistic arguments.

Just because you don't understand a scientific conclusion doesn't mean that there's something wrong with that conclusion.

I'm a little unclear on why I touched a nerve. You asked me why I was ignoring your posts, and when I actually do respond and ask for your expert opinion, you tell me to "click on the damn links" and figure it out myself?


1) I never made the claim that "50-75% of Italians are asymptomatic". I asked for your opinion on why this particular claim would be considered invalid. You provided an explanation. Thanks.

2) There are a ton of stories on this outside of the Guardian. https://www.cnn.com/...irus-intl/index.html. Yes, some may be pre-symptomatic.

3) Go back to my last post. I clearly said 80% were asymptomatic or mild. And since you are an expert in this field, I asked how these cases (a lot of which are not being counted due to self-isolation) can be factored into a model that has to take into account the % of population that has already been infected.
