Like for an N95 mask to work well it needs to have a properly measured fit and it's not exactly comfortable to breathe through when it has a good seal.

Also god help you if you have a beard other than one on the CDC approved mask fittable list!

So went from 830 to 1287 cases and 26 to 41 deaths. That's increases of 55 and 57 percent.

At that rate, in 30 days 659,978,050 will be infected and 30,886,836 will die

Usually the real complicated dealios have more semantics than just "it's a graph and edges are like ports and stuff". They model the whole spatial effects. The biggest dealios basically look like diffusion limited aggregation in affected peeps, with the aggregations in cities

Latest figures from Chinese state media. 1287 cases, of which 237 in critical condition.

If only a third of the critical cases die, then together with those that are already dead that would give a 10% mortality rate.

That's absolutely not true. The CDC's got a map of the world painted on a gymnasium floor with thousands of mice running about. They infect one watch how it spreads and release the virus in the countries the mice get sick in. It's scientific and poo poo.

Out of the first 41 confirmed cases 100% had pneumonia and 15% died despite all being hospitalized.

WHO estimate of R0 is 1.5 to 2.5. I think it's just one the upper end of scale. Incubation of 9 days instead of the 4 days the scary R0 paper changes math quite a lot

The WHO also endorsed TCM.

My understanding of that episode was they got successfully bullied into doing it because they don't really care that much, but this is basically their core function. Usual Chinese MO for Taiwan bullshit, but the modeling assumptions are guesses either way

I'm not a scientist but gently caress. When a Harvard scientist is like hold on to your pants boys this is gonna be a wild ride, you kind of are inclined to pay attention.

The part where he's like containment will fail is not very reassuring.

He apparently is going off of a dates model that is being revised down to an R0 of 2.5 as more information comes in. That being said that seems far more infectious to that of the regular flu or any other epidemics in the past 100 years.

This would be especially bad since it sounds like people traveling from Wuhan to other countries are basically just checked for symptoms on arrival before being let through.

I’m not freaking yet, but it could be bad for a while for millions of Chinese and others.

Ebola was mostly body fluid to body fluid. Smallpox the OG could be caught from someone 300 feet away. Infection rates will vary
