I think you mean R, not R0. If/when things start to turn, numbers can drop quite a lot in a month, but the key is getting the rates to turn. I...
Remdesivir is ineffective at reducing viral load (once already infected) or reducing mortality in COVID patients....
The main benefit of wearing a mask is to prevent spread from the wearer to other people. Unless you are covering your eyes (proper PPE) and the...
No!
Note that N95 masks have valves that don't "stop the pee". ;)
They do infect most of the population, it just takes more time than you think. As I keep saying, it can take many years before "herd immunity" is...
I think the solution is to form another 20 committees, each to propose their own name, leading to much confusion in academia, until they have the...
It's shocking how much worse things look since that graph was made. The key difference is other nations are using stronger measures to drop the...
I still don't understand why you are asking this question. No one is disputing that exponential spread until "herd immunity" is achieved is the...
I don't understand the question. Empirically, uncontrolled spread will lead to exponential growth, but if spread leads to death, people will...
Many of these claims of high "past infection" rates are bullshit based on underestimating the specificity of the test. The study in Ganglet,...
Surely the same (flawed) argument could be made about many alt-health "treatments" such as homeopathy? Why does he claim that "Lightning Process"...
The experience will be quite different, since disease of the motor centres will cause proproceptive error, so they'll experience problems such as...
Professor Giesecke seems to be bad at mathematics. Note that Sweden has done ~95,000 tests with a positive rate of 20%, compared to Australia (25...
Remember a while back when I mentioned the key factor in China that led to 'exponential' spread was large gatherings? Guess what other places have...
The trap that Vallings and others are falling into is one of ecological fallacy. The patients they see are much more likely to be "driven" and...
Isn't that a common excuse of medical practitioners responsible for iatrogenic harm? "I could not think of any pathological mechanism by which...
This paper doesn't seem very popular: [MEDIA]
Note that this study used supervised walking. Hence they're more likely to want to alter their behaviour, compared to unsupervised graded...
Yes, poor quality preprints, or quick and superficial genomic studies. The hard stuff is still unknown, like how is the virus killing people, what...
Separate names with a comma.
