Correct me if I'm wrong which is frequent but two very simplistic observations .
1. Testing ...Unless basically everybody gets tested soon the infection rates are always going to be somewhat of a guess and a paper figure aren't they given that some people can carry the virus and not even know they have had it in which time they could have passed it on however many times . 2. If pretty much every country is in massive debt over all this who is lending who money or is a hugely complicated combination of money , infrastructure shortfall and other factors . Wouldn't it be great if every major country went to their respective treasuries got some paper and ran off a few trillion each to pay each other off.. Sorry , on that I couldn't help myself ...That said in jest , I think Roosevelt pretty much did that to some degree during the Great Depression. I know they created heaps of jobs that never existed before such as building the Hoover Dam and Interstate Highways etc.. at least to drive the economy like stimulus packages here and there in different places have done since , not least here . Time for work for me right now... Last edited by roddy1960; 21-04-2020 at 07:50 AM. |

Exactly how is the Government supposed to help us with one hand tied behind its back?

Only (minor) correction to your posts Marty is that in the US it is twice the ABV value, but traditionally it was equivalent to about 1.8 times the ABV value.

Anyway. In better news we only had 7 new cases yesterday and no deaths so the CMR improved slightly to 1.073% - ![]() Likewise for NZ with no deaths and 9 new cases, the CMR improved to 0.833%. The UK CMR also improved to 13.234% but the US CMR worsened to 5.359%. There isn't much sign of the infection rate improving either.. ![]()

One last set of stats for today based on the obvious question of are we winning the war against this pandemic.
The only real measure we have of that is the new infection rates and we saw that the polynomial trend line for Australia (above) has about the sort of curve you'd expect with a gentle ramp up followed by a downward curve. If I might digress for a moment. For those who don't know, polynomial trend lines are used to smooth out bumps in data sets that can be caused by inconsistent data or weekday vs weekend trends (for example) and they can be 'ordered' to indicate the maximum number of fluctuations or bends that occur on the line. The ones we have been using up to now are 2nd order polynomial trendlines which generally only have one hill or valley. I've chosen a number of countries that have had high case rates and plotted their polynomial trendlines below: ![]() You ideally want to see something like Italy (red) where the downward curve is a bit steeper than say Iran (yellow) but you definitely don't want to see any that are still on the upward trend like the UK and Turkey. The third order polynomial doesn't show anything much different except it does highlight the impact the measures Germany took (albeit later than they probably should have) has had with a steeper decline than other countries have experienced. ![]()

Interesting to consider whether the high mortality rate in the US includes a disproportionate number of people with strongly Spanish genetic material.

I dunno if the idea will float but if we get a second wave then all bets are off.
The problem with social media and us blokes on here is that we all talk about stuff we know nufink about just to big note ourselves. Remember the My Health kerfuffle and all the outrage over privacy concerns about our health information? Gee what I'd give to see Franco's file. It seems 90% of the population are in. Now to this App. According to those propella heads at govmint the App collates data via bluetooth when phones come close to each other and it retains the data for three weeks. The idea is that if you get the WuFlu then govmint can contact all people who got close to you whether you rooted them or not. Maybe that's why Barnaby is against it. If we get a decent second wave then the App will be in, in except for those who want to opt out, just like My Health. |

russelw's graphs are really basic data analysis (not to trivialise them, I'm really grateful for him doing it for me). These data sets are easy. I used to work for the csiro and you'd feint if you saw the mud I had to try and pull trends out of. Unfortunately the general population have learned not to trust data analysis because it can be driven in any direction you want if you have an agenda. Witness road safety and both sides of global warming....and this virus thing If it's done properly, which has to include a transparent analysis and access he the raw data, it can be extremely useful. russelw has been doing a really good job of distilling the information into easily understood form. Small round of applause... ![]() |
