This is SHAMEFUL clickbait headline BS—which totally undermines a legit article that says NOTHING like the title does.

Title editors should be named + held accountable

@BillGates purposefully wrote a thoughtful piece w/measured analysis and path forward
trib.al/UGJryye
Contrast SAME article with non-clickbait legitimate headline
Contrast with earlier version that maybe didn’t get enough clicks from the induced-idiocracy “the new coronavirus growth debate”

This makes several useful points about cohort. Are we comparing apples with apples? Are the cohort selection criteria the same from state to state and country to country.

The answer is clearly NO regarding country to country.

Something is going badly wrong in USA
In the U.K. the Dept of Health are correctly imposing a nationally coherent strategy with common surveillance software.

As is evident from the embedded thread, in the USA they cannot say with any certainty how many people have been tested in each state and county.
So who knows what meaning to attach to positive tests?

Firstly. Why would the CDC or states or counties seek to conceal the number of tests being carried out?

I can’t think of a good scientific reason.

Political ones maybe..but not good for citizens.

🦠🇮🇹 #COVIDー19, previsioni vs realtà (5 marzo).

Ma prima, una cosa importante: l'aumento della letalità apparente continua.
È l'effetto del cambio di policy del 27 febbraio.

Significa che siamo sempre meno capaci di capire quante e dove siano le persone contagiate.

🦠🇮🇹 #COVIDー19, previsioni vs realtà (5 marzo).

Sui numeri assoluti, il modello continua a funzionare bene. Bene che sovrastimi terapie intensive e decessi.

Ma su #Coronvirus NON si può abbassare la guardia.

Progressione ancora pienamente esponenziale.

🦠🇮🇹 #COVIDー19, previsioni vs realtà (5 marzo).

Nelle variazioni rispetto a ieri spiccano le due sovrastime di gravi e decessi.

A preoccupare è la sottostima dei casi totali, che fa pensare che nei prossimi giorni ci potrebbe essere ancora un "recupero".

#COVIDー19 @ewarren @BernieSanders We need a progressive agenda on epidemics STAT! There is going to be panic, an emergency, hoarding and if Dems in office and Dem candidates do not prepare an agenda that is more than Trump is screwing up then Trump ultimately will win.
1. RELIEF FUND: Until we have univ. health care we need an emergency health relief fund. The # of critical cases, meaning cases requiring significant medical intervention, are more than ten fold the number of deaths. For many this will result bankruptcy levels of medical debt.
2. ER COVERAGE: Health Insurance companies should not be allowed to deny coverage for treatments that are not 'pre-approved' or "FDA approved' as all of the treatment options for severe cases of COVID are 'off-label'

#COVID-19: It’s possible to get infected a 2nd time. People recovered by their own immune system, but the meds they use are damaging their heart, and when they get it the 2nd time, the antibody makes it worse, and they die of sudden heart failure.

I don't find this unexpected. We had similar results in the study of SARS. Challenge with the virus after vaccination actually made the resulting disease worse. One theory is this may be due to an overactive immune response due to a cytokine storm.
What I find really troubling is doctors in China had to report this anonymously to avoid communist censorship. We are not getting the whole story here. Keep in mind we don't yet know how many cases this involves and we'll have to wait for more case studies in other countries.
