THREAD

With a lot of misinformation circulating, we clear up some of the biggest misconceptions around the outbreak.

Coronavirus myths debunked 👇
Will the hot weather kill of the coronavirus?

Evidence says no - remember, regardless of climate, adopt protective measures.
Can #COVID19 be transmitted through mosquito bites?

No - the new coronavirus is a respiratory virus which spreads mainly through droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose.

From fast-moving myths to an avalanche of news - #coronavirus has dominated the conversation online and off.

We’ve put a handy guide and answered your most-asked questions: aje.io/3yka4

#COVID19 - A thread 👇
Why all the fuss? Isn’t the #coronavirus basically the flu?

Answer: No. While the far majority of cases reported so far have been mild, #COVID19 has a higher fatality rate than the flu.

Note: Mild to moderate includes mild form of pneumonia.
What are the symptoms?

While symptoms differ from person to person, a WHO-China report found typical symptoms to be:

• Fever (88% of cases)
• Dry cough (68%)
• Fatigue (38%)

⚠️New #coronavirus cases continue to explode in the US, as a consequence of both increased #COVID19 testing and exponential viral spread.

Cases are doubling *nearly every 2 days*.

INACTION = more people DIE.

NATIONWIDE LOCKDOWN NEEDED NOW. 1/

📸@jburnmurdoch
😱#COVID19 death toll in the US is rising at a faster rate than nearly any country, with #coronavirus deaths DOUBLING *nearly every 2 days*.

Deaths are a “lagging” indicator, as it takes time for patients to 1) become symptomatic (median=5 days) and 2) to succumb (2-3 weeks). 2/
This #coronavirus has an R0=3 (each infected person infects 3 other people on average).

After 10 rounds of this, that 1st infection leads to 59,000 new #COVID19 cases.

And the virus has been circulating UNDETECTED in our communities for MONTHS.🤬

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
This is a roundup of what I found to be the most interesting & helpful sources on my journey into the void. #Coronavirus #Pandemic #Misinformation #CDC #CPP #WHO
This is for friends & family, but also to raise concern over media censorship & begin a discussion of what are best practices for both traditional & decentralized media outlets. This is a collection of sources to tell a larger story and spark interest.
Very few sources peer reviewed. Some behind paywalls. Some mainstream news. Some International News. Some in other languages (Use chrome). Some Harvard medical Journals. Some unverified. Some factually incorrect. Have some salt with your rice & beans.

Updated with today's Mainland China "data". Note that the R^2 for the last 4 data points from the mode... er, um actual contracted cases rounds to 1.0000.

Will post what tomorrow's numbers should be if they maintain narrative.

#coronavirus
A finer point on what is happening:

China is a country of 1.4 Billion with 10s of Millions in lockdown in cities & entire regions. Schools are closed for months; work stoppages for weeks.

China posts #coronavirus #s daily for at least 31 provincial divisions in the Mainland.
The #coronavirus expansion is extremely complex with many moving parts... even including mandatory cremations.

Yet, I have been able to predict their reporting within an extremely narrow band since early in the outbreak expansion (around 4500 cases / 100 deaths).

Think someone is lying to you?

First check to see if they bothered to add any variability whatsoever in the model they are using to supposedly report actual numbers from a complex system.

#coronavirus
The mortality rate they want you to report is the - 0 day rate: Today's Confirmed Death total minus Today's Confirmed Case total.

This has not varied outside of 1/10th of 1% in the last 5 prints.

#coronavirus
But even a minor adjustment of a few days in the mortality rate paints an entirely different picture
