Not for the Philippines specifically.
This article talks about Latin America.
My assumption from what I know about phil is that they are seeing something similar.
ETA. I.e. something similar in terms of poor reporting. I don’t know what that tells us about the actual scale of the problem.
I know someone who is taking Hydroxychloroquine for lupus. If it is not safe, why do doctors prescribe it for lupus? It’s either safe or not safe. Which is it? As for efficacy, the data does not show definitively that it does not work. Some data shows that it does.
All of our dads and high school math teachers were right. The stuff they teach DOES matter.
We’re not going to have good information on how any given country is doing until months (or years) after the fact when stuff like excess deaths can be used. If the inability to test people is strictly a US problem, that’s one thing, but I’m assuming that most poorer countries are struggling with it as well.
Russia claiming they have vaccine. Lol
Russia secretly developing a vaccine, then releasing the virus in Wuhan knowing it would totally fuck China and the US…
True dat. Mask wearing would help with that but I would submit that enough mask wearing to impact ifr be reduced viral load would probably crush the spread in the first place.
Most of Europe doesn’t have AC either afaik.
I concur that social isolation should be its own separate factor not a form of herd immunity.
The definitions should be kept entirely separate.
Both can be factors in transmission rate but they are independent variables.
I don’t have the time now but looks interesting. What I was further suggestion was to take the weekly increase in cases and use SDI as the X axis and percent increase in Cases as the Y.
I have to fire up my laptop after the boys go to bed. I will try to remember to grab these numbers.
Unpossible numbers based on NYC. Putting a lot of stock into antibody testing that time after time has proved to be specious.
The loop needs to be closed that seroprevalence ties closet to actual SARS-CoV-2 exposure and there is not cross reactivity to some other coronovirus family exposure.
I’m listening in on our school board meeting about what to do about the schools in the fall and my head hurts so bad from the stupidity.
First parent comment: “I’m calling in from Chuck e Cheese and if Chuck e Cheese is open our schools should be open.”
Another thing I’m noticing is that the parents who do not want to return are all well spoken, calm, and choose their words carefully. The majority of the parents that insist upon reopening schools are yelling, accusing the school board of lying and hiding information, and seem basically unkept and frankly very very stupid.
Are these what you’re looking for?
I mean I kind of hear what they’re saying. The problem, of course, is that Chuck e Cheese also shouldn’t be open.
Well, a difference is that it’s a choice to visit Chuck e Cheese. If schools reopen without a remote option, I do not have a choice whether my daughter attends or not. At least not without major ramifications.
And the fact that some people in town think it’s a good idea to take their kids to Chuck e Cheese makes it obvious that my kid isn’t going to be safe attending class with these people.
MA has already pushed opening back 10 days to give districts more time to figure out wtf they’re doing. Lots of talk about hybrid models and I’m guessing that approximately 0 schools end up opening for full, in person classes in the state.
I made the mistake of using your logic with a facebook friend.
She was upset that sports were going where her kids go to school, but schools weren’t open. She said, ‘so sports aren’t dangerous, but schools are, I don’t get it?’
All I said was both are dangerous and neither should be happening and she did not receive that well. She desperately wants her kids back in school for a particular reason that I won’t bring up here.
Maybe if they create a school bubble? Rich kids gonna get all the education with boarding school quarantine.
Just tell us if her reason is sex-related. Prurient minds want to know.
Apparently we had to have this emergency school board meeting to “reconsider the decision” because after they originally announced that schools would start as remote learning with a reassessment every two weeks the school board and administrators received multiple threats. MURIKA!
If they are that weak-minded, how would they react to the same level of threats over their reconsideration?
Problem is that would be considered domestic terrorism.
