The US and China are having a war of words over this behind the scenes. Chinese government officials have accused the US of making the virus, with US military soldiers deploying it in Wuhan during the Military World Games in October 2019.

The problem is that occasionally people believe this crap, having been a US military dependent in a foreign land, it wasn't uncommon for locals to fear (or hate) a US soldier in military uniform. Also Trump's racists remarks have provoked some Americans to start attacking Chinese or other 'Asian-looking' people. The fire is already out of control, so lets pour more gasoline on it.
Not at all. I get really squirrley around numbers, and I’m not sure I understand it either. But I think I understand it now.
Not relevant to COVID
Just my two cents, I don't think any of the so-called Communist states ended up being truly communist in the sense that Marx meant. He'd probably weep to see totalitarian regimes being called communist.
It is almost as if Trump doesn't understand that the world (including the US) has allowed itself to become entirely dependent on Chinese manufacturing -- particularly for chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Even pharmaceuticals manufactured in India are made primarily with raw chemicals imported from China. It seems like a bad move for the US to stoking fires of resentment.
I agree completely. I just elected to slap a political "epithet" in there as an adjective and didn't thing "socialist" had the right amount of "umph". I did add "so called".
They are all just forms of governance. Only in the western liberal democracies are people truly free to make massively bad decisions... historically dumb moves.
I'm a fan of many of Singapore as a well functioning society. I visited there in 1998 when the big rap was "They cane people for littering and you cannot chew gum in public". How long does this virus live in the gum on the underside of a fast food restaurant table?
We need MORE rage and massive levels of pushback on extremists. If we can't lure extreme views to vent then we're just chatting. Maybe we need another thread: Covid-19 rumors "People are saying..."
It was almost as though trump thought he knew something that others didn’t- but it went a bit wrong.
AWGGGH!!!
Most reporters don't understand science or math. They keep on reporting the number of positive tests as the number of cases. We know for sure that there are many more cases than positives -- but we have no idea yet what the correlation is.
They really need to say "positive tests" rather than "cases".
Here’s a story comparing the Covid-19 response of Taiwan versus the U.S. and the underlying causes in each country. Lots of food for thought.
It was obvious that Trump was stirring the racial pot on purpose, and now here's proof:

You people are way too hung up on identity...
Some hopeful news for a change. Thomas Pueyo has a new article, The Hammer and The Dance, out on Medium that is worth a read. It provides some interesting analysis of what we've learned in the past week with thoughts about how aggressive measures now buy us the opportunity to relax measures fairly soon -- IF we get serious about testing and enforcing quarantines of people exposed to the virus once essentially stop transmission in the short-term.
It is not a short read, but I thing anyone trying to come to grips with the possibilities should take a look. It is also helpful if you have read his previous article: Coronavirus: Why You Must Act Now
As we've discussed a lot (and as the author mentions), we still don't know enough to know for sure what the right thing to do will be, but this describes some non-draconian steps that can help us get back to something like normal sooner rather than later.
It also mentions something that I hadn't really thought about: one of the reasons for really stopping this thing earlier rather than later is to reduce the likelihood of new strains that might not be affected by the hoped-for vaccines.
See the article I just posted
An article about a pandemic simulation study done by the U.S. government last year which uncovered deficiencies in our ability to respond to such a crisis which was not followed up on. Knowledge without appropriate action is a waste of effort, time, and lives.
I have to respect you restraint here and thank you for remaining civil: just
alluding to your personal reactions to out right political comments obliquely.
Well done. When people start shooting arrows into labeled groups and you identify with
that group it's a bitch not to fire back defending your team. It's in the nature of a polarized
society based upon conflicting value systems.
I wish we had solutions so we could come together around shared sacrifice and consensus.
I fear it will get worse before it ever gets better. We are all being played to a degree as pawns
in a struggle for power. Civil wars have the same set of circumstances... winner take all.
I can't think of one that ended in unity.
I have been wrestling with understand this mechanism... where the virus plays itself out.
I suspect I need to Google Herd immunity and try to follow the live of a pathogenic virus.
Thank you for you repeated insistence on presenting data with a touch of analysis for context.
It has ben useful and helped, IMHO.
I was reading some analysis of economist today that try to model various policy schemes:
forced exposure of low risk populations to move the virus through the population faster while seeking to isolate the at risk populations
enforced isolation across all society to throttle transmission/inflection rates
There are so many social factors involved these models are too simple
Cut off incomes to 50% of society without support services - what happens isn't medical per se
the economy comes to a halt and incentives change from well meaning to desperation
Read the article that I just posted, besides the possible solution, he does a very good of describing why it is really important to stop transmission sooner rather than later.
At this point they do not know how long people will retain immunity to this Corona virus. It can change characteristics as it spreads through populations. Forced exposure would seem like a really bad idea when you do not know the long term effects of the virus nor how to determine the susceptibility of individuals because once again we don’t have enough information in an evolving pandemic. People seem to be engaging in wishful thinking which is understandable in bad circumstances. I just hope policy makers and the public are able to separate wishful thinking from what’s likely to be effective based on informed choices. Too much of why we’re in this position is because our leaders didn’t invest enough into how to deal with these sorts of scenarios.
Here’s a story about a U.S. senator using his inside knowledge to avoid taking a hit in the stock market while at the same time downplaying the seriousness of the virus. This is just another example of how politicians too often represent their own self interest rather than the people they’ve sworn to serve.
An important point in the article I just posted is that fighting the virus by encouraging wide transmission to encourage wide spread immunity is that runs a serious risk of more strains of the virus which may not be fought by the same antibodies.
Thanks... the 2 articles helped and mention mutations and how they influence outcomes and why fewer and later mutations can help save lives.
Lowering the rate of infections is the key benefit on eventual outcomes. I think the US and UK are going to fail to take the best options based on the defensiveness of the current governments against trusting expertise and general hubris.
As nations we voted for radical changes hoping for improved outcomes. Oops.
An ER in NYC is already being overwhelmed the details in this account highlight the many realities confronting care givers that should encourage all of us to try and ease it to the extent we can by being diligent about avoiding becoming infected or spreading it to others. Clearly testing isn’t currently available either.
The news out of NYC today was grim. They are in dire need of protective gear and have been slow to lock down so it is going to get worse. Every day matters.
In the SF Bay Area they are running out of gear and nurses are being told to reuse one-time use gear. Hopefully, bring locked down means after three more weeks of acceleration that things will start getting better.
@robertreynolds, you say “you people” and you talk of identity. Are you not a people, too? Or do you have your own?
Please don't do this. He obviously is trying to avoid name calling. Trust me.
His approach is conservative in the classic and maybe morphed sense.
So, he has a "people" too that would agree with him. Earlier he alluded to
60M people so he doesn't feel like a one off. He just wanted to gently mention
that we are very focused on identities... which can mean we use superficial labeling and can't listen to alternative views. Probably some sense it that.
We all dig in and starting loading ammo when the opportunity arises.
He's not looking for a fight... so respect that, at least.
It would be great to hear him out but he knows where that would quickly go.
The one thing we might be able to converge on is the pointlessness of talking past each other and thinking the score of hits is close accurate. No one was touched or moved much and a lot of energy was wasted.
