Coronavirus

Something about this data confuses me though…

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/2/d/e/2PACX-1vRwAqp96T9sYYq2-i7Tj0pvTf6XVHjDSMIKBdZHXiCGGdNC0ypEU9NbngS8mxea55JuCFuua1MUeOj5/pubhtml#

Every state has typically a much higher reporting of negative test results vs. positive. And unless things have changed, tests are reserved for symptomatic individuals. And also I’ve heard this is highly contagious. So in my mind, there should not be such a wide discrepancy between positive and negative results. Maybe @daath or someone can help me understand this ratio. I would expect to see a reversed ratio, but then, I’m not smart.

If you find a more appropriate source of current world CoV-19 stats, that would help me source more accurate numbers.

That’s my point though. We can only eat what we are served.

I honestly don’t think we will ever have concrete numbers. The antibody testing will probably be the most revealing regarding number of persons having contracted Covid19, but I just don’t see that being a mandated test for every person. I think we will see decisions made regarding safety on anecdotal data only, that being the number of people in treatment and I think that will be a “fuzzy” number. I don’t see anyone in the world working from concrete numbers but rather trending indications. I believe even post mortem evaluations of this outbreak will be swags.

Kushner’s team seeks national coronavirus surveillance system

That’s what China did. They can use aggressive measures if they want. I saw the vidz of them dragging away whole families too.

give the government a near real-time view of where patients are seeking treatment and for what

Why does this sound dangerously close to invasion of privacy? Sorry, but if I seek treatment for a hemorrhoid, I don’t necessarily think Kushner has a right to know it.

I knew someone would pounce on that…

A least we now know what Jared is doing… don’t sound like logistics though.

I hope a lot of people do. That’s ridiculous.

The reason for that article is not everyone think so. We are a nation built on opinions these days.
