Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 Covid-19

These kinds of the post really do not add much value. Take the example of a car. If you drive your car higher than 100mph, you are likely to weer off, or hit someone, or kill yourself. That is why every product has some operating range and use case scenarios. Many products come with usage and maintenance procedures that are supposed to be followed. RISK and REWARD are part of life. You choose what you want.

Unfortunately they didn’t compare to a no-mask group so we can’t compare cloth mask to nothing, but interesting results:

Yes, they’d probably be approved as a prescription drug if there was need.

How do you know things are going to where they are needed the most versus to who is willing to pay the most if you don’t centrally coordinate

Cool Data Visualization for how COVID-19 spreads:

YOUCH!!!

Spreading in www about China coverup for 3 weeks before reporting? Examined a sequence of events posted here, authorities took 4 days to verify and report to WHO. How to compute 3 weeks? Counting from Dec 10? Why is it reasonable to do so?

Li Wenliang shared info on Dec 30 while Wuhan health officials were still investigating. Isn’t Li Wenliang overstep his authority? Anyhoo, the virus was reported to WHO on Dec 31, ONE day later.

Sure?

You seem to be fairly familiar with the Healthcare practice. I have two questions. Please refer to the attached image. In healthcare industry, “no clear evidence” means ZERO cases or no statistical significance using statistical hypothesis testing? What is the reasonable elapsed time for the final investigation report to be out?

Earlier on Sunday, authorities said they will not allow any short-term visitors to transit or enter Singapore, a move aimed at trying to contain the spread of the virus and conserve resources for citizens who are returning from other countries.

It’s a pretty ambiguous statement and probably intended as such…written by politicians rather than scientists. They are trying to make a claim that would be politically favorable but at the same time leaving room to backtrack if it turns out to completely wrong. I doubt we will ever see a ‘final report.’

US cases continue to soar. Italy (60m pop) will have more cases than China (1.4b pop).

Death toll. US on steep ramp.
