Measuring new cases against all cases in a logarithmic coordinate system. (youtube channel minutephysics).

A week ago or so the Chinese published a video which showed the "jubilation" of inhibitants to have (mainly) overcome the virus and that everything will get back to normal. To me this looked very propaganda like. It is thinkable that they don´t want tot deal with an eradication and now...

I am afraid not everyone in the society is as much steadfast and circumspect as you like to think. I am not talking about the needs of health carers, who are so at least enough. A good example might even be the non-issuers themselves, and there are more issuers. Albeit they all might well be...

Stealing a link to the Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/heal...a-b148-e4ce3fbd85b5_story.html?outputType=amp and thinking that this assessment is reasonable:

Essentially because we are short on masks right now, and the health care is in need of them. Yes, this, with the normal simple masks you prevent that you possibly infect others.

The implication is that Germany is far behind Italy. So basically the situation would be the same, and only differ in time. But there might be an additional hope for Germany. Because Germany has tested very early on (though still only when Italy had obvious problems) and had isolated the...

The Robert-Koch-Institute said - a bit unclear maybe - that they give the numbers which they get reported by official offices in the different "states" (so to say), and that this may be a slower reporting than the sources the John Hopkins University had made up (I think hospitals and others can...

This did the Italians as well. That the death rate in Germany is that low, may depend on two parameteres, 1. younger people may be infected, 2. on the quite huge amount of testing which is done, so not only the already obviously sick ones like in Italy are tested, though still only people who...

Pregnant women are listed. My information was that pregnant women didn´t get it in China, the information might be wrong though, can´t give any source.

youtube channel numberphile shows modeling spread. It´s essentially a fun channel, sometimes said to be a bit yellow. However, paremeters being: S - people who can get infected I - actual infected people R - people who don´t have the infection anymore (dead or being immune in some sense) Graphs...

It´s driving through fog, for the next couple of ...

No no, your message is put very well, I think. I made mine a bit more clear, I hope. I think yesterday or so I have heard what you are saying referred in tv, but of course no source was given. --- The university of Hamburg is working on an antibody test (according to an interview in tv), so...

[And also] the other way around, so to say: [Not only that] Older people who may have caught the same amount of viruses probably will deal more or less worse with it than younger people; also older people might be more dangerous when spreading the virus, because they would spread the virus in...

And I was concerned you referred to breaking rules ...

In view of this - not this very point in particular - but the point that we have been captured and probably still are captured by our sort to organize things, this statement is even not without some wisdom (though I am not necessary a fan of whom who said it). We will see how the situation will...

??? (I am a non-native speaker, maybe you can give an example?)

This is my understanding as well, thank you for having put your´s, and your words. "Primary cases" then are the sources of primary transmission, and secondary cases likewise. This Chinese publication about the very subject of corona cdc.gov/eid/article/26/6/20-0251_article says: So they are...

I thought that in supermarkets people are not staying for a longer time, and the virus would not have a good chance to concentrate. I wonder though if the Chinese advise to go shopping only every third day might be part of the success. And did they give any permission, like with the beginning...

Does anybody know what "secondary transmission" and "case"mean? It seems as simple as one "primary" case infects another, "secondary" case. Or is there anything specific?

I tried this morning a calculation for the UK, and it came out with 4 years, so if four or ten years, pretty long anyway. I would disagree, if a great number of hosts die from a pathogen, it´s a sign that the pathogen is not well adapted to the host. (With antibiotics there is a different...
