A graph that I’ve kept since Mar. 12 shows that the growth in infections is continuing an exponential growth trajectory, R squared=0.9973. I’d show the graph, but have no easy way to do that.

I have not separated data by country. These are worldwide numbers.

PING to new CV thread.

Can you take a screenshot of your graph and then upload at postimage, to post here?

Thanks.

Looking at my quarantine stash, it appears I'm good for another 6 months, minimum.

Carry on, and don't dare cough near me!!

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

Good news. Dr Birx discusses viral model failure from the White House.

Many thanks for Corona threads Mariner.

My daily percentage of new Corona virus deaths to previous day's total by country graph. 25% = total deaths times 2 every 3 days, 20% = every 4 days, 15% = ever 5 days.

Day after data from https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries.

This kind of incident is probably the reason that people are contracting the Corona virus with no known contact with someone affected.
