de-facto | Today (Monday 2021-03-22) Merkel will meet with the ministers for new deciding about new strategy, probably lockdown continues till 2021-04-18 at least | 00:08 |
---|---|---|
de-facto | i hope they not only will continue lockdown but also put more strict containment in place, since we already are above weekly incidence of 100/100k and much more importantly we are on R>1 | 00:09 |
LjL-Matrix | najari: not really, I think the evidence is still circumstantial, and if I "went with the flow" on these things, I would have been against masks when the WHO purportedly was, etc... I acknowledge that the prevailing idea now seems to be that airborne transmission matters by far the most, and I find it plausible, but the precautionary principle still tells me that if I can sanitize my hands after touching things others | 00:17 |

LjL | yes, i talked about that just earlier after it was posted on the italian subreddit | 00:26 |

de-facto | .title https://imgur.com/a/SJ0NoDO https://i.imgur.com/TYs7KQc.png "COVID-19 Germany: cases and reproduction" source: https://www.rki.de/DE/Content/InfAZ/N/Neuartiges_Coronavirus/Projekte_RKI/Nowcasting_Zahlen.xlsx?__blob=publicationFile | 00:26 |
Brainstorm | de-facto: From imgur.com: COVID-19 Germany: cases and reproduction - Album on Imgur | 00:26 |
LjL | but i'm afraid there's even more scarcity of those than of vaccines | 00:26 |
de-facto | so in Germany we have R ~ 1.2 and unfortunately it is rising itself, e.g. the reproduction (describing the time derivative of incidence as time derivative of total cases) ITSELF is rising | 00:29 |
de-facto | that means we have a big problem, the increase in daily new cases is increasing itself | 00:29 |
de-facto | meaning we currently not only have an increase in daily new infections (as with R = constant > 1, dR/dt ~ 0), we have this increase in daily new infections accelerating (e.g. R > 1 not constant dR/dt > 0) | 00:34 |
de-facto | we never had a lockdown in Germany that was strict enough to contain this B.1.1.7 reproduction, if we achieved R~0.8 before it would mean we would have to expect R ~ 0.8*150% ~ 1.2 with the same containment measure strength now | 00:38 |
Brainstorm | New from Reddit (test): nCoV: Just in: South Africa sells its supply of one million AstraZeneca vaccines | 21MAR21 → https://is.gd/tnIBGp | 00:39 |
de-facto | it all depends on what they decide today, i am pretty sure it wont be enough to contain this though, so we will end up with a BIG 3rd wave and not enough vaccinations in the risk groups to prevent MANY fatalities. | 00:39 |
de-facto | and even if we contain this, with allowing tourists to travel to Mallorca and party there, get infected with P.1 CoV-VoC there and import that back (without requiring ANY tests or quarantine on re-entering Germany or EU) we actively are promoting to breed the next problem, seeding a Mutant that may be as reproductive as the B.1.1.7 VoC but with the additional feature of immune escape. | 00:45 |
de-facto | why is that tolerated at all? sometimes one almost could get the impression that there would be intent behind causing the problems the most efficient way possible, just by doing exactly the opposite of what logic dictates to prevent a problem | 00:48 |

LjL | de-facto, sure | 01:00 |
LjL | meanwhile... that post on worldnews has already been removed due to obviously editorialized title, but | 01:01 |
LjL | "Norway does not have millions of COVID19 deaths. Norway does not even have thousands of COVID19 deaths. Norway has a total of eight(8) COVID19 deaths among women aged 0-59. | 01:02 |
LjL | https://www.fhi.no/en/id/infectious-diseases/coronavirus/daily-reports/daily-reports-COVID19/ | 01:02 |
LjL | Norway has only vaccinated 120,000 people with AZ, and they already have several deaths which appear to have been caused by side effects of the vaccine." | 01:02 |
LjL | this seems to kind of have a point | 01:02 |
LjL | "The experts are all in agreement here – the reported events are likely background events not related to the vaccine, and in any case the benefits of getting vaccinated still vastly outweigh any potential risks. The countries who have suspended the vaccine should reverse course and resume vaccinating their people." | 01:27 |
LjL | https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/oxford-astrazeneca-vaccine-safety/ | 01:27 |
LjL | no, the experts are not in agreement, and also using the "likeliness" of them being background events to sneak in an "in any case" is a bit too subtle for my liking | 01:27 |
LjL | even the EMA has conceded that a link with the vaccine should still be investigated, and in the meanwhile, two separate teams in two different countries have claimed to have found a mechanism for the association | 01:28 |

finely[m] | The reddit thread on the BBC article about the developed world stopping the rest of the world manufacturing vaccines has a justification for it: if any pharmaceutical company could make them, there would be a drop in quality control, causing a bad batch that harms people, which would lead to bad press, increased vaccine hesitancy, and thus a large enough population for the virus to replicate in and throw up variants of | 09:15 |

rpifan | israel is a horrible palce | 15:42 |
rpifan | and not just said by me but ive heard it from the Israelis themselves | 15:43 |
rpifan | now my question is how realistic is what the news says about israel | 15:43 |
de-facto | yet their trends look very good https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/israel/ | 15:58 |
de-facto | 52.7% fully immunized by vaccination https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-people-fully-vaccinated-covid | 16:00 |
rpifan | sure | 16:07 |
rpifan | but what will happen when the new variants come in | 16:07 |
de-facto | thats a very good question | 16:07 |
pepee | does anyone know how many close cases do EU countries, UK and the US follow for each covid cased? | 16:07 |
de-facto | what are close cases? | 16:08 |
rpifan | i suspect they will dip right back into shit | 16:08 |
rpifan | but maybe not as bad in FR or DE | 16:08 |
de-facto | imho Israel did many things right that most EU countries did wrong | 16:08 |
de-facto | i guess we will see how well it turns out for them | 16:09 |
de-facto | so far their numbers look absolutely fantastic | 16:09 |
rpifan | we will see | 16:09 |
de-facto | i hope for the best, but expect the worst | 16:09 |
pepee | de-facto, I mean, close contacts | 16:10 |
rpifan | hoping for the best but expecting the worst are you gonna drop the bomb or not? | 16:10 |
mobidrop | is it possible that these vaccines can prime the immune system for an severe overreaction upon coming into contact with a mutant strain? | 16:12 |
de-facto | idk id assue we would have read about that if that was the case, e.g. when they evaluated some (other) vaccines in south africa that employ the same variant of the s-protein antigen | 16:14 |
de-facto | pepee, hmm i guess its quite hard to estimate a rate for close contacts | 16:14 |
de-facto | i think there are efforts to correlate mobility with number of contacts, but that only covers long distance, hence how to estimate local contact rates? | 16:15 |
pepee | de-facto, do govts not publish those numbers? | 16:15 |
de-facto | afaik those mobility datasets are public | 16:16 |
de-facto | but again they dont really reflect contact rates | 16:16 |
de-facto | i am not sure that is directly measureable | 16:17 |
rpifan | i wonder if we will continue lockeddown in DE until summer | 16:17 |
de-facto | for sure there are strong correlations between lockdowns and number of infections going down, e.g. look at Portugal or UK or Ireland etc | 16:17 |
de-facto | but thats indirect, lockdown measures causing contact rates to go down, that causing possible infections going down etc | 16:18 |
mobidrop | I'm thinking less restrictions during the summer and lockdowns again come spring | 16:18 |
rpifan | im hoping lockdowns in the fall as well | 16:19 |
de-facto | well in the summer people spend much more time outdoors (hence much less risk of transmission) | 16:19 |
de-facto | or having their windows wide open etc | 16:19 |
pepee | de-facto, I mean, they must have had an average X of contact cases for a given case, I want to know those avg numbers | 16:19 |
de-facto | yes i understand what you mean, but how to measure X? | 16:19 |
de-facto | one could try to ask people and document that or such? | 16:20 |
pepee | from the numbers of people they followed-up | 16:20 |
de-facto | in general reproduction = contact_rate * transmissibility * duration_of_being_infectious | 16:21 |
pepee | of course it's not possible to follow-up everyone | 16:21 |
de-facto | and new_infections(t) = new_infections(t0) * reproduction ^ ((t-t0)/generation_time) | 16:22 |
de-facto | but that would be indirect measurement again (e.g. depending on transmissibility and duration_of_being_infectious) | 16:22 |
de-facto | so if we know B.1.1.7 got more reproduction (e.g. ~150% or such), how to know due to which of those cofactors? | 16:23 |
de-facto | maybe people shed more virus, hence have a higher probability of transmitting it? maybe they stay infectious for longer time? | 16:23 |
de-facto | did we compare scenarios with similar circumstances (e.g. average transmission probability or contact rates of similar risk)? | 16:24 |
de-facto | its not so easy to measure such inter-dependent parameters i guess | 16:24 |
de-facto | but i agree it would be really nice to be able to directly measure those separately hence have a time dependent value for all of those | 16:25 |
rpifan | do you think we'll have lockdowns in fall | 16:26 |
de-facto | i hope not, it depends on how well we progress with vaccination production rates and campaigns | 16:31 |
de-facto | im not sure though, because i somehow get the impression that governments in EU dont take it serious enough to really put all effort into ending it, sometimes even preventing progress in preventing new infections | 16:33 |

de-facto | seems like very hard discussions between Merkel and Ministers, they are overdue many hours already and even stopped for hours in between because they could not reach an agreement | 23:02 |

de-facto | i mean we are already in what they call "Lockdown" and case numbers are exploding (exactly as predicted by many e.g. here for example Doc and me) | 23:05 |
de-facto | actually exactly as expected with the reproduction numbers and portion of B.1.1.7 | 23:07 |
de-facto | actually its even a bit scary how this pandemic exactly follows the easiest back-of-envelope calculations, meaning it is very predictable hence our influence with controlling it is pretty minimal (unless this is the intended trajectory) | 23:09 |
de-facto | i desperately hope the time for compromises is over and the time of strict implementations of intentions brings some change in success rates of bringing this under control | 23:11 |
