On a bright note re this virus thingy...we in Aus are damn lucky, warmish barmy weather, many many people out walking, noice going for a stroll and checking out the chicky babes, imagine trying doing that in UK or Amelica, freezing cold, snow, ice, tornados, wild idiots shooting people.
Yes we live in a good place.

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... ![]() |

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'm getting tired of all the inconsistencies with what we can and can't do.
No groups of people to gather anywhere but it's ok for kids to go to school and for teachers to interact with them, but it's not ok for kids to visit grandparents... Minimum of 4 sqm per person except kids don't have to worry about that. Kids aren't carriers and are unlikely to catch the virus - I guess they didn't ask the family where mum got the virus and 17 of her kids got it too. |

I did the COVID-19 test yesterday night after work at Royal Melbourne Hospital as I had some of the symptoms and I met the criteria for the test, I work in a customer facing role and I've been all over Melbourne visiting people at their workshops and I'm in the age group for the highest group of carriers without the significant symptoms.
Walk in, you have to use your phone to fill in some information, then you walk in and they give you a mask you have to put on and ask more questions verifying your personal details. You go past the first gate keeper nurse, they take observations, blood pressure and heart rate. Once this is done you go in further, doctor talks to you about symptoms and prods a bit further -its only now you find out you can't go to work until you get your test results. Once you're at this point there's no going back, I tried to backtrack and exit stage left because of the time off work thing without giving notice but they were rather adamant I'm not going anywhere without a test ![]() Once this is done its into a stall, they take blood from you, a spit sample, then they put this thing like a pipe cleaner in your throat, swab your tonsils then another pipe cleaner goes all the way up your nose which feels as awesome as you can imagine it sounds. Then its out the door back to the car. Just got my results now - negative, I'm free to go back to work tomorrow, 24 hour turn around on results. It was less than an hour in and out of the joint, very orderly, very nice staff. As far as my experiences go with the Royal Melbourne Hospital, I rate this 9 out of 10. Point lost for no prostate massage... |

Getting away from fingers being in places where the sun don't shine, this Twitter clip from Q&A has an interesting opinion on lockdown economic damage vs lives saved in the context of COVID-19.

Senor Cozzo, I just noticed your eye watering post count. Surely you have to give up sleep or work to scale those heights...

Another trial has shown the malaria drug hydroxycloroquine to be actually worse than useless.
