Covid 19 virus
Bicurico:
Hi,
Attached is an Excel sheet that I developed, which allows to simulate infection rate vs. death toll, considering the size of a population, number of hospital beds, etc.
It does not pretend to give any real forecast, but I believe it allows to visualize why it is best to declare quaranteen to make sure people stay at home.
The Excel provides a page in Portuguese, English, German and Spanish. Feel free to share or do whatever you want with it (except fake news of course).
I think more resilent people will perhaps better understand what is going on.
Also, it becomes clear how long this pandemic might endure and/or the releation between more deaths and short pandemic period or less death within a longer pandemic period.
While I am open to suggestion to improve the Excel and would really love to see a BETTER Excel sheet, I am not in the mood to discuss how poor or badly made it is: if you dislike it, just don't use it!
On a different topic: I believe that one of the biggest aspects of this pandemic and the way societies are handling it, is in fact the mental health. People are not used to be confined at home for days, especially with the family 24/7. We lack social interaction, friends, alone time, etc.
I would like to start some discussion on this:
1) Use social media! Use software like Skype, Whatsapp, etc. to talk to friends and coworkers! Microsoft has stated that Teams is for free use for private and commercial use during the Covid-19 outbreak. It is great to have live video conference with a group of people. Schedule such a meeting with your colleagues, even if work does not required it: just to socialize, talk and spend some virtual "normal" time.
2) Take 1 hour of alone time and make your house companions aware you need this time (if this is the case). Respect if they need such alone time, too.
3) Invest in routers, access points and high speed internet, so that everyone at home has internet access in their rooms. It is very annoying to have 4 people in one room doing webcalls, online classes, etc.
Share your thoughts and suggestions!
Take care.
Regards,
Vitor

it has been the same here with politicians who, just to oppose the government continuously changed their position:
- "stricter rules" (they meant a nonsensical quarantine just for Chinese children in January),
- "it is just a cold", after the government started to put some restrictions,
- a few days later some politicians of the same party asked for much stricter quarantine rules, others for a stop to quarantine...
they are just crazy... in all this madness they are just able to think about propaganda
the reality is that nobody knew anything about this virus, many of WHO initial assumptions have failed and most countries in the world never had to face a similar situation

What makes the West correct?

To make like Spiriman: Jesus Candel. When the threat was far, laught and without giving importance because the covid is seemd to the "cold" (no flu) . When the plague arrived and Spiriman is in the 1st frontline.
The balls put him by tie. And he began to scream,cry,gasp by youtube and TV about of dangerousnes of the covid. Furthermore, he had info about their italian mates.
Here,this is the video of the Joan Planas that teardown to hypocrit of Jesus Candel.

You do realise that this makes no sense to anybody, don't you. Not the content, the language. I literally cannot even guess what you're trying to say. Are you using Google translate or something similar to post your messages? It just comes out as word salad.

I think it's clear enough. Go exercise your pattern matching a little bit and you'll be able to make sense of it. Yes, he's probably using Google translate, from Spanish, I guess.
Spiriman, Jesus Candel, is apparently of some notoriety in his region, and set a bad example by laughing off the threat when it was far, only to break down and whine and cry out on all channels when the strike hit close to home.

My wrong is not have done a little introduction about of the Jesus Candel.
About the expresion "He has his balls tied in a knot." In spanish is "Tiene los huevos por corbata " that means to be scared or terrified.
Aclaration:
huevos = testicles
corbata =tie(pice of clothes)

Japan didn't do much of anything, except close schools earlier.

OK thanks... that seems more believable... it looks like the newspaper has been fooled by the Czech activist - he may have been in good faith too - so it is likely just another misunderstanding in this messy situation

The Czechia and Slovakia have special regulation in power currently, and for example in Czechia for spreading misleading information you may serve for 8 years behind bars..

I'm sure they can't persecute Italian journalists, in any case I wrote to that newspaper (they were reporting a piece of news from a further Italian source) asked them to check your link and retract or correct the article
thanks again
