S. Korea, as I understand it, also assigned a trained case worker to every single case or suspected COVID case. This enabled the contact tracing to be quite successful, and something I believe we’ll need to emulate in the US to prevent the

Actually, it seems to me that more or less, that is exactly how some of the network based contact tracing models work: "Therefore, characteristics of mixing networks—and how these deviate from the random-mixing norm—have become import

A few things I really like about pgloader (which to be clear, uses the COPY protocol): - Handles MySQL -> pg; MSSQL -> pg; And pg -> pg copy - Very fast (lisp/"real threading") - Syncs schemas effectively (this says

Yeah. Can confirm our Cosmo still works fine (iOS). The kids love him. Pretty cool tech too. Wish someone would have taken it over.

This is a little different. The FDA has an entire infrastructure setup around Supply Chain security - basically to ensure critical medicines are always available from SOMEONE. Not to spam on my comments, but see here: https://www

Not implying anything: But this tracks with my understanding of how USSR and USA wanted to select bacterial/virologic bioweapons [1]: An agent that killed very quickly e.g. Ebola is actually not a very good bioweapon. You want somethin

Nah I think it generated some good discussion, if nothing else. If you are coming to HN for emergency preparedness and health advice, I’d say you are screwed already. This site is for entertainment and discourse right? Relax. And If the WHO

What led you to believe I cited the news? I cite the WHO and CDC where I could. If I am interpreting that information incorrectly based on my previous experience in epidemiology, please educate me. - SARS case fatality rate = 15% (WHO - 1)

I find this to be pretty alarmist. "If the pandemic hits" ... the virus has already hit. The WHO itself has backed off the Pandemic classification [1]. The virus has an overall 98% survival rate, and most diagnosed cases in the US
