  1. Not sure if there's anyone reading this that went into health / medicine, but if you did and are in a position to help treat #covid19 / #ncov2019 victims - thank you. It takes a lot of work to get skilled up that far, and we should be thankful for every one of you that made it. Thank you and power to your tubes! #teamhumanity
  2. Four days ago I was thinking that probably we won't go to Sweden this summer as we had hoped, as we might accidentally bring the contagion with us.

    Three days ago, 100 new cases were confirmed in Sweden, two days ago another 100. Stockholm alone has almost twice the cases Hong Kong has, and Sweden as a whole almost four times Hong Kong.

    So now I'm thinking we won't go to Sweden because we don't want to bring it with us when we go back home.

  3. that blip a few weeks ago? That was because of test kit exhaustion #ncov2019 #covid2019
    > For a few days, it looked like the number of new coronavirus cases was flattening out. But it turns out that was just the supply of coronavirus test kits running out. When data flow resumed, the data showed new infections continuing to rise exponentially.

  4. > Dear Everyone,
    The reason South Korea has so many cases isn’t that they prevented spread.

    > It’s that they *detected* the spread.

    > They tested hundreds of thousands of people, including asymptomatic + mild cases.

    > That’s HOW you do it.

    > Their death rate (0.6%) is a better estimate

    Well *that's* good news. but the 0.6% is still 'when the healthcare system doesn't just up and crap out on you' mortality numbers, rather than a realistic 'what will happen in the US/canada' situation

  6. LB:
    Agamben escreve sobre a normalização do Estado de Exceção na ocasião do pânico criado pelas autoridades ao redor da (falsa) epidemia de coronavirus #nCoV2019.

    A desproporção da reação, o uso ideológico do "medo amarelo", o controle da opinião das massas, essa é a infecção que nos dominou.

  7. The probably hugely underreported Chinese numbers for #covid19 look like they're peaking, if that means anything. I think it probably does and the official numbers are a decent proxy for the real numbers. If anything, official numbers should go up as the system catches up, but it seems they aren't going up very much anymore.

  8. Bats carry more viruses than humans but do not get sick. Why?

    it is not bcos of anti-oxidant rich food they eat such as mangoes, figs, dates & papayas 😉

    Doctors hypothesize that flying has evolved a dampened immune response in bats, leading to increased tolerance of viruses

    Flying damages cells, which then dump RNA & DNA bits into bat blood
