How is that better than test positivity

How is that better than test positivity

it's the same thing, but more intuitive because higher=better and you don't have the problem where the human brain doesn't really distinguish between 0.5% and 0.05% as different.

Good read on Sweden. They aren't any better off economically or all that much different in terms of travel or what's open but they had a strong nationwide plan from a non-political institution that seemed to have full support from the government and seem a lot better psychologically. Even if they don't have herd immunity (which based on the last article, they don't).

Sweden stayed in the single digit drop in GDP.

Other EU countries were in the double digits.

Germany and France were both in the double digits in GDP drop as I recall.

I did t see anything for the assumption of cases not reported. Significantly reduces deaths before HI is achieved.

They discussed antibody surveys which if done correctly would account for cases not reported

That's gonna get CoronaBro's all perked up.

Keeping in mind this guy said things like Ebola would go airborne.   He told Joe Rogan 6 months ago that we'd be at 48M hospitalizations, 100M cases and 400K to 500K deaths by now.

Yikes bud chill out, didn’t mean to hurt your feelings. Idk how me laughing makes me a weirdo, self projection I guess.

I just don’t buy this whole it escaped from a lab thing. There are a millions of these things out there in nature we just haven’t found yet. You dive into all these wild conspiracies so it makes sense you believe this stuff.

First of all, thanks for the in depth analysis about the great unknown of nature . . . deep.

Multiple researchers have noted the unusual characteristics of SARS-Covid-19.   Since it is quite evident that the WHO is just going to go through the motions with China, then we are only left the best possible alternatives in trying to determine the origins of this virus.   Asking why the Chinese government continues to white wash this situation in not conspiratorial, because it is fact.

Journalist Bob Woodward said early Monday that restricting travel from China in response to the coronavirus pandemic was not President Trump’s idea.

Host Savannah Guthrie noted on NBC's "Today" that Woodward’s book “Rage” claims that Trump implemented the restrictions on the advice of his administration’s health experts, including Anthony Fauci, after a Jan. 28 meeting.

“It's not that President Trump banned travel, people coming from China to the United States. He restricted it, and as we now know, there were some problems and lots of people from China instead of coming to the United States went to Europe and then came into John F. Kennedy airport in New York,” Woodward replied. “And that's why there was such a firestorm of a virus in New York City at that time.”

Woah, that's pretty crazy (both the scale and low prevalence). Wonder what kind of test they used.

Another problem, they said, was that it took three to four days for participants to get their results so they could have been spreading the virus as they waited.

we gotta get these cheap low-res at-home tests fast. Is that still happening? What's the holdup?
