--- Quote from: SiliconWizard on March 25, 2020, 06:34:31 pm ---That said, what looks sort of weird is that the slowdown seems correlated with the date the confinement officially started, whereas due to the incubation time, we would expect a longer latency... --- End quote --- Well, yes, that's why i waited for some days before starting to get my hopes up. Also, containment measures in lombardia and veneto (the most afflicted regions at the time) started about 3-7 days before national scale containment was enacted. I expect there to be a slow down and then another rapid rise, because there was the mass of people from southern italy living in the north that panicked and returned in mass to the south before they could effectively restrict public transport In the long run the graphs per region will show several bells, with those from the south having the peak at least 30 days after the ones from the north, delaying the end of the emergency. |

For anybody that thinks social distancing is not a particularly powerful weapon against the virus watch this... |

Mr.Scram, How often do you wear a proper equipment? You sound very well versed in the art. Please share your personal killer tips as a professional. I am just curious, because I wear P100 respirators, sealed goggles and FFP3 masks on a daily basis. Maybe I have been endangering myself all this time? Thanks for your help with this matter. Leo --- Quote from: Mr. Scram on March 24, 2020, 10:45:24 pm ---I feel we're going round in circles. The issue is that people don't have the proper training and discipline. They are likely to tug at infected masks and display more risky behaviour. --- End quote --- |

On Dr Wolfgang Wodarg, I assume is this guy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Wodarg#Public_appearance_in_the_2020_COVID-19_crisis I don't think he is absolutely wrong. I'm not a doctor. I think he has some valid points of false positives and normal "flu season" noise getting picked up in the numbers. Actually worth listening to for a different point of view. However. Countries like Italy and cities New York are not normally overrun with critical cases in a normal flu season. Also I'm not sure the flu season, even with unrestricted movements, rises that fast in death rate. So even if you remove the potentially flawed (as he suggests) testing entirely, we still have something serious going on or the ICUs wouldn't be filling up and people dying in corridors. Finally, if we just sat back and said it was hype and later (like now) we discover that hype or no hype it's killing thousands of people daily at a still rising rate exceeding most flu seasons, it would be even more too late than it currently is. |

Social distancing slows down the virus outbreak, yet it causes lots of other damages. It can only be an emergency measure. Let's see what happens next in China. I guess people in the west should learn as fast as possible how make and properly use masks. Western media should contribute in that effort. Also western leaders should give a good example and use masks. How can anybody seriously propose to loosen shutdown and not tell people at the same time they will have to wear masks whenever they leave their house. I am not talking about those simple medical masks. Everybody will need a pile of fitted masks so there is a fresh one whenever you need it. Regards, Dieter |
