Interesting read. Throw in an early treatment for all those who are backward traced to a cluster/super-spreader event and it might mean no one goes to hospital and no new super-spreader(s) form from that cluster. There is no shortage of data to be analysed to further shape our understanding. Less of R and more of k certainly sounds the right thing. And that might be behind the restaurant/bars closure. Finding out more about who super-spreaders are and targeting them specifically could be a game changer. Maybe there is a particular trait or blood type. Or that they are heavy mouth breathers who don't brush their teeth. But to truly find out these answers would mean sacrificing privacy. Though some countries are already doing that so their findings on 'k' and policies will likely be our near future.

Hoped to have a meal in one of the few and best Chinese in the area still open a week.or two ago. We have been going there for nearly 40 years. Locked up with a sad little note in the window warning the owner not to enter and listing the tables and chairs, ovens fridges and other contents for sale. Gone bust presumably. Round the corner we found 3 out of 4 pubs shut in the middle of Friday lunchtime. Local cinema closed today after the brief reopening after (the first) lockdown. Sadly doesn’t surprise me FA. Loads of businesses which have clung on by their fingernails are going to go under. All because of a massive overreaction to a disease with a 99.8% survival rate (source the WHO).

Enzo Chiefo Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 So, new cases in England are 4500 down on yesterday but still the BBC lead with "Covid cases on the rise", citing the weekly ONS survey which is an estimate based on randomly selecting households. Had it been the other way round, you know what the headline item would be. Unbelievably misleading and biased reporting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In England the hapless Hancock has been ubiquitous, but here Freeman has been elbowed aside by Sturgeon and Leitch, begging the question - what is she for ? And if Johnson had taken day to day charge in England and Freeman up here, would you have the opposite view? That's not a criticism, just such is life.

There's a pretty strong link between wealth and life expectancy both in terms of the individual and the collective. With the average age of covid death older than our age of life expectancy, I'd actually argue that crashing the economy is more likely to lower the age of life expectancy and mean by the law of averages, you'd have more time catching covid than if we supress it by sacrifing business. Business over life, in this instance should actually mean more life. A win, win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile Mr & Mrs Sturgeon are busy burying bad news during the week. I saw two minutes of Sturgeon's briefing yesterday and she made it quite clear that if people demanded independent analysis of the reasons for this "circuit breaker" then her next action was to trigger a full lockdown. Her policy from the start was to keep Schools and Unis open at any cost. Well, the cost is clearly proven in job losses while the infection rates going through the roof with teenagers and young adults who en masse refuse to follow the rules on social distancing or wearing face coverings. The SG only have themselves to blame for this as it is their political decisions that have failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticJambo Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 First time I've seen the percentage figure being asterix-ed (tbf I haven't exactly been honing in on it daily) but I have wondered how they end up with such a high figure when the ~1000 +ives, and the 14% equals roughly 7000 tests total, yet they chuck in that nearly 20K testes were undertaken. I did look into the fine print on the website yestreday but soon got bored! Something about more than one test used on an individual, which I assume would probably favour the majority, or those testing negative. Not sure why they just don't cut out all the bull shit and just provide data that makes simple sense. Any statasticians out there offer any basic simplification? 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
