Tuesday assorted links - Marginal REVOLUTION

1. New data on YouTube consumption.

2. New Canadian paper: “…for most parameter values, the optimal policy is to adopt an initial shutdown level which reduces the reproduction number of the epidemic to close to 1. This level is then reduced once a vaccination program is underway.”

3. More on Deep Mind and protein structures. And off-label drug uses, to an extreme.

4. Steve McQueen’s Lovers Rock is one of the very best movies of this year; search Amazon Prime for “Small Axe,” select episode two. Short too.

5. Cecilia Rouse on debt cancellation.

6. Covid-19 in America detected as early as Dec.13-16 2019? See here for good criticisms, still an open question.

7. Update on FDA vaccine review. And new information on the EU review schedule.
