Io non voglio fare il guastafeste ma tutte queste flessioni mimine dei casi che si vedono nell'ultima settimana non sono il miracolo di San Gennaro: il virus continua a girare, la gente continua ad andare a lavorare, i ragazzi continuano ad andare a scuola. 1/5
I miracoli non esistono e i casi ovviamente stanno crescendo come prima, non puo' che essere altrimenti.
Le flessioni che si vedono sono quelle di un sistema che non ce la fa: in termini di tamponi, in termini di ricoveri, di terapia intensiva, non ce la fa a contare i morti.2/5
Dai dati di excess death di Marzo sappiamo che solo uno su tre dei morti era passato dalla terapia intensiva. A Ottobre si era salito a uno su due ma temo che ora siamo di nuovo alla proporzioni della primavera. Bisogna smetterla di plottare tamponi e terapia intensive. 3/5
A questo stadio neppure i morti per covid diventano rappresentativi. Gli unici grafici che bisognerebbe prendere in considerazione da due settimane a questa parte sono i morti, tutti i morti. 4/5
Questa sotto e' l'excess mortality per la settimana 43 cioe' quella del 19 Ottobre.
Eravamo gia' ai livelli del Belgio e messi peggio della Francia, figuriamoci adesso. 5/5 Image

My friend Dragana published a beautiful and important study yesterday, potentially explaining a 50 years old mystery: why do some animals die when forced to stay awake for days or weeks? The study was led by talented postdoc Alexandra Vaccaro (thread)

Last year, @BeckwithEsteban and @qgeissmann in my lab addressed a related and equally puzzling question: is sleep a fundamental and vital biological function? A few people reached, asking me how to piece the 2 studies together. It's easy. Let's do it.

First of all, it's important to clarify that the 2 studies address 2 fascinating but different questions: we asked "can an animal survive without sleep?"; Alexandra asked "why do some animals die after chronic sleep deprivation?". Both studies use fruit flies as the main model.

You may be confused as to why the UK government seems not to be taking action regarding the current covid pandemic. In this video, Prof. Chris Whitty - the chief medical officer - explains the strategy and the science behind. A thread.
1) the CMO believes that the mortality rate for the disease is not higher than 1% and that 1% is probably the top estimate of the mortality.
2) the UK Government works on a line where they expect at least 20% of the population to become infected; the reasonable worst-case scenario is 80%, which is the theoretical maximum. The working hypothesis is somewhere in the middle.
