#2Welp. I've been a bit wary about riding the subway while corona is bouncing around, and this pretty much confirms that I should be.

#3This implies that our government is managing the propaganda around Covid-19 by simply not testing suspected cases. Is this true?
Re: My Covid-19 Story in Brooklyn
#4China: underreports diagnosed cases.
U.S.: underdiagnozes cases.
Not sure which is worse.

#5Maybe, just maybe, this virus is really not as bad as people want it to be.

To a substantial extent, yes.
UC Davis Medical Center statement on refusal of CDC to grant permissions to test suspected patient:

"UC Davis Health does not control the testing process."
Florida refusal to release testing data:

Note that Spring Break in the US, in which about 10 million college students consume substances, exhibit poor judgement, congregate in large numbers, swap bodily fluids, and return to some 3,000+ institutions of higher education, begins today. With Florida and cruise ships as prime destinations.

I just posted my own update on COVID-19 yesterday (after watching events overtake me for 4 days -- I'd started after listening to the US CDC press conference on Feb 25):

On the Media's episode this week focuses strongly on COVID-19 and if anything is rather more alarmed and alarming than my own take (I very conciously strove for verified data and sober takes):

Features Laurie Garrett, excellent content. Focuses to a large extent on both government mishandling and information suppression -- in the US having no information to report rather than China's suppressing avaiable information) -- as well as other forms of mis- and dis-information.

#7China: underreports diagnosed cases. U.S.: underdiagnozes cases. Not sure which is worse.
At least in China, somebody knew the ground truth.
As much as I criticised China's initial response, their eventual containment has proved highly effective.
The US (and numerous other countries) are point-by-point repeating China's initial failures.
This will delay control by days. Growth is presently doubling every 3 or so days, increasing by an order of magnitude every week. Delays will increase consequences directly proportionate to those rates, both infections and deaths.
As it is, if Rest-of-World (RoW) response is where China was ~22 January, we can expect to see 100x present cases (~2 orders of magnitude) and ~500x present deaths (~2.5x OOM). Very roughly.

#8The Swiss government issued the following guidelines [1] to prevent further spread of the virus. Masks are considered useless unless you are infected.
- Wash your hands thoroughly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvcvvRp3lsY
- Cough and sneeze into a paper tissue/handerchief or the crook of your arm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3_rFPtQgKE
- If you experience shortness of breath, have a cough or fever: • Stay at home. • Contact a doctor immediately by phone or call the coronavirus infoline. • Avoid contact with those around you. • Do not go directly to the doctor or to a hospital emergency room.

> consume substances
I find this kind of euphemism use really weird. "Substances"? Water is a "substance". A carpet is too. Why not just say what one is actually referring to?
