It can be helpful for certain scenarios. And others don't have to enable it. For companies, at least in the enterprise plan you can also disable it company-wide (according to reports by others). So companies can simply opt out for ever

What are the issues exactly? I've also been using it but so far haven't heard of privacy concerns that are unique to Zoom? Obviously, P2P should be preferred but it's really hard for this to work with larger groups, esp if so

And I guess setting up factories to produce millions of doses of new meds can take a while. At the same time, each new manufacturer has to negotiate terms with the patent holder. Using an existing cheap generic drug means that production fa

Reducing viral load in the throat would make it less contagious though? In that case, wouldn't it be suitable to use for patients that are likely infected but don't need hospital treatment to reduce chances they'll infect oth

It might be, we don't know how the Italian system would cope without it. Due to increasing but low test numbers, we don't know how many infected patients there are in Italy. The situation in some hospitals is severe, but it has be

I guess it could be time shortage? You need to bring researchers and doctors together, doctors need to increase documentation on treatment at a time where they are already over capacity, studies need to be approved by regulators and ethic b

I'm not sure about the testing regime they use but they publish the number of people tested on a daily basis. The data is available on wikipedia [1], currently they stand at ~233,000. As an orientation, Germany doesn't publish agg

So is DDG. They can't grow above 100% market share and I doubt search volume overall will grow exponentially so their exponential curve is probably also a logistic curve in reality. I just hope that Corona's curve has an earlier i

As a non American, may I ask why the sick leave policy only applies to companies with 50-500 employees? I couldn't find explanations there. Exempting small companies is often done as they likely cannot pay for this measure, but why exe

Testing alone won't help us unless we can really test everyone. Germany already has broad testing and some areas are discussing to close down testing facilities as there's no benefit from testing at the moment. Positively tested p

It can be used to effectively stop it. Flattening the curve doesn't work if we need to put people in quarantine for a year, no one will accept that. But if we wait long enough until there's at least some treatment, we can loosen r

I don't get why they don't close airports for all but cargo traffic. That way they could close off all terminals, probably saving ~90% of personnel. With cargo only, just warehouses and a minimum of security and air traffic contro

For commuting, passenger-mile is important. And that's a vital part of why cities want to increase the share of cycling, to solve traffic during rush hour.

But I believe Italy didn't ban it for commuting?

In my companies it's the managers telling people to work from home when possible and parents asking to come in at least every other day to have some hours of distraction-free work.

Still, many don't have the space to work distration-free with children at home when schools are closed. Open-plan offices can be noise, young children at home tend to be noisier.

Even if the number of young infected is much larger, it still means a significant number of young people need hospital treatment. A cold basically never needs hospital treatment. So it may not be deadly for the young but it's certainly

I made the opposite experience. Yes, some bars and restaurants profit. But the there's much more to an economy than food. And other services are rarely used.

From what I read, medical equipment seems to be the bigger issue in parts of Italy right now. You can only convert beds to ICU if you have the right equipment. Nursing staff is obviously necessary but that doesn't appear to be the most

It could also be cultural. Statements from Italian doctors I've seen said that their patients usually don't go to the hospital unless they really need care. That could've been the same here, people trying to sit it out until

If they get too greedy they risk China and others just copying it. The situation would allow for that. If they price it fairly, they can make a lot of money by selling hundreds of million doses within a few months. So there's a strong

So you'd include parts of Russia and Turkey but leave out others? That's gonna be hard to define at the border.

They certainly do have many but travelers from Europe could still introduce more infection clusters, especially in major cities.

I said the strong parts of each country were most affected. Not saying economically strong countries more than weaker countries but stronger regions more than weaker regions. For Italy it's the North, for Germany South & West, for

Of course it's true, but do we want to live in a society where we prioritize economic output over the life of people? Many do not and governments were elected by those.

I believe only Moscow faces restrictions for travel from Europe. Maybe they just had much less travel anyway and that's why few got infected.

Denmark's case number has increased far more than that of other countries in recent days. They probably had to act as they'd overtake Italy in less than a week with cases/capita if growth continues like that.
