It’s like a line made in Adobe Illustrator.

There’s a fixed point where y equals zero on the fifth of May and the curve takes whatever shape it needs to to reach that.

The line shape actually seems to stay same. It just moved forward 1-2 days, because the numbers didn't start falling down like was predicted.

as a non biologist the first link here looks way better to me than the MERS chart despite being way bigger and more complicated. the MERS chart has text partially overlapping similarly-colored graphics, a weird mishmash of graphical shading that seems to serve no purpose, lines and text that are poorly-aligned, stuff scrunched together for no apparent reason, etc. the design is :effort: incarnate

Fair point, it's a bit :effort: indeed. I think part of it is also that a lot of the representations used are pretty standard shorthand for biology figures but looking at them again I can see how they are incomprehensible for someone not used to them.

This second graph shows the close correlation between the number of Covid 19 cases in New Zealand and the number of tests. It raises a question about the nature of NZ's observed "curve" and its assumed exponential nature.

Articulate your needs. I'm here to listen.

Wait a minute, so if we reduce testing then we can reduce the number of new confirmed cases? We should start this immediately.

It's that really so much of an outlier opinion? I've personally been assuming that the large majority of the entire population is infected but asymptomatic, it's not like people give a crap about actual mitigation or quarantine with what I see when I go to work

I expected this, but in my region (out of the way, to be fair) shows consistently small numbers. Fewer than 5% of tests done have been positive for Covid, and this hasn't changed as testing has passed 1000 per day.

Way more are infected than confirmed of course, but a large majority is already infected? Yeah, that's an outlier. That would basically mean we can stop the quarantine immediately because it'd be pointless to continue.

It's okay if you have any questions.


This paper estimates the actual number of infected in the US as of March 18th to be about 50 times greater than the official numbers. That's very high but it still puts the prevalence at way less than 1%.

Good thing that’s not what the authors say. The % are percent increase over consumption before the outbreak. Without the pre-outbreak consumption rates, those percent increases are close to meaningless, tho.

Why do I have to be a "millenial", why can't I just be in Gen Y? You know, the one that came between X and Z?


Edit: Eh, "boomers" are only 57-64 years old? Couldn't they find any older boomers than that? (Wikipedia says the baby boom is commonly defined as the period between 1946 and 1964.)

That's how many said they increased their consumption of Thing. Boomers were, presumably, already reading the paper very day and thus can't increase how much they read the paper.

I can't believe that Boomers actually had the capacity to increase their viewing of broadcast television that significantly. Most Boomers I know come home, they turn the TV on, and it stays on. Like hours and hours of CNN or MSNBC or Fox depending on their preference. And this is pre-plague!

Maybe they're working from home now, so they watch TV then, too.

the part that surprises me is that younger generations have increased broadcast watching. watching for the news makes sense but i think i have known a single millennial over the past 10 years who said they watch broadcast news regularly, and that was because it helped her get to sleep
