You have to just remind yourself what signals come in during a crisis (esp new kinds people aren't trained for) takes a while to make sense off. Nothing will make sense initially. Even for decision makers up and down the hierarchy. Mos

It works well when subject matter experts exist in the org and collaborate/supervise/drive data folk, to solve some issue the sme's have spent enough of their own time thinking about. If its just data folk by themselves getti

This is damn cool. I think this was the strategy S.Korea used to handle sudden surge at any one location - "Regions shared doctors and opened their hospitals to each other’s patients" An app like this would have prevented all thos

It's all political rhetoric prepping people for the worst case at a time when few things were known. Things change. The situation is extremely dynamic not static. And response will change too. Germany is already thinking of scaling bac

Given the number of new covid sites flooding in, you probably have a better shot contributing to some of the more popular/existing projects.

How does my location factor into it? I usually have to set time and location on apps and sites and dont see any mention of lat/long here...

That's pretty much what Trump and his team say too. It's all PR to me, until they are standing next to their product, in use, saving lives.

Free PR nothing else (and nothing wrong with that). Those engineers didn't call up the marketing/pr dept and ask for a professional video crew to show up - "cause we just want to share an update with the world".

Too much info (most of it incomplete and useless) is getting pumped into peoples heads. Untrained minds will break. And trained minds will break beyond some threshold. There will be a lot of casualties from this first generation on the soci

Too complex for our 7 inch diameter heads. Enough data has accumulated in the last 20 years about our cognitive limitations. Which seem to compound as we construct groups and networks. So "spreading freedom" fails, mass leaking in

Agree we wouldn't be hearing about it if it wasn't odd. Just saying subtract out what conditions/ages in normal times occupy those beds and the odds will change. But I am too lazy to do it - https://statswales.gov.

I have a couple old laptops(and phones) lying around and was wondering is there some simple way to just use their Screens from a single Ubuntu desktop?

13 patients is not a big anomaly. Check the historic number for respiratory related illnesses and deaths for the region and you will have context. Could be a lot of smokers .

Apparently the right way to do it is to show Daily Total deaths (ALL deaths not just covid) per local region Vs daily historic total deaths of that region - so some kind of Excess Death indicator. And that shows pandemic effect rising and f

I doubt there is any right/wrong answer here. If one delivery guy gets it and is busy driving around neighborhoods asymptomatic for weeks the delivery would cause spread. If one grocer gets it and is busy running his store asymptomatic

Disappointment is good. It keeps us (atleast some) looking for ways to change, upgrade those tools of thought, push against those limitations and breakthrough.

Interesting. So a nice punch in the face or a swift kick in the ass is not enough to produce brain reprogramming. Frequency matters. I have to test this out on my brother.

Not really. I have been thinking its going to play out like China, Italy, Spain etc where certain regions take disproportionate hits. Texas and California don't seem to have been hit as hard as NY-NJ. So was just wondering if the unemp

Is there a state wise breakdown? I would guess NYC is contributing a big chunk, and if things turn around there in a month or two should be okay.

Some (slow) learning is happening on the 'not enough deaths' issue. https://twitter.com/dburbach/status/1245561190375358466 https://www.corriere.it/politica/20_marzo_26/the-real

Give it time. Lockdown will breakdown in novel ways. We don't live in the time of Orwell. A hyperconnected world where info good and bad is constantly flowing, changes how the system works. Its much more unpredictable and harder to con

Whatever the rationale, how they communicated and dealt with you is were things stink. It needs to be addressed or it will repeat in some other context. Right thing to do is get cool heads in mgmt to handle the hot heads in mgmt. Small chan

Agree. Fast food workers are more likely to come in contact with super spreaders in the network than farm workers. Would be interesting to see Italian, Spanish, French data on infections by profession. I'd guess its going to be biased
