Et aussi, pour faire des comparaisons entre pays, plutĂŽt qu'en nombre total de morts, ou nombre total de morts par habitant, je pense que c'est le chiffre le plus significatif Ă comparer, ce nombre de jours de vie perdus par habitant. J'invite Ă faire pareil pour d'autres pays.

Perhaps the most frustrating thing in this whole pandemic is how impossible it is to find reliable and readable information about public health measures taken in various places (lockdowns, school and business closures, curfews, mask mandates, etc.). âą1/8
That we have unreliable and often contradictory data concerning the virus itself is understandable. But concerning our OWN public actions in response to it, information ought to be near-perfect! Instead, documentation is disastrous. âą2/8
I live in France and I can't even keep track of the rules which apply here. They change twice a week and from place to place in a mad, incoherent mess. There isn't even a government Web site recapitulating them all (we're all supposed to read the law, I guess). âą3/8
There's something really fishy going on with âeffective reproduction numbersâ in various analyses of this pandemic. And I'm not talking about predicting the future, I'm talking about analysing the past. Here we see a claim of R~3 for Belgium. âą1/21
On the other hand, researchers at the Centre for Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases have a web site computing R(t) for many countries, and their estimates for Belgium never went above 1.5 in the computed time frame: epiforecasts.io/covid/posts/na⊠âą2/21
Now briefly speaking, computing R(t) depends on two things: the exponential rate of growth r (=logarithmic slope, =logarithmic derivative) of the number of new cases, and temporal data on infections, notably the âserial intervalâ and its distribution. âą3/21
