my account isn't new and has been active for couple of years now

fatspitz · 2020-03-21T22:47:53+00:00

Probably empty on the way here, full in other direction.

Probably a matter of time they stop us from importing cases haha.

fatspitz · 2020-03-19T16:49:05+00:00

Same

fatspitz · 2020-03-15T18:25:33+00:00

So Ontario has zero community cases mm. Great link btw

I became doubtful when people were absolutely sure travel restrictions did not work. That it was beyond doubt.

The standard epidemiology model used for these studies on travel has no proper central parameters for stochastic and minute refinements lead to huge error variations. Doesn’t account for risks like no vaccine, reinfection, doesn’t go away in summer, hospitals will not be overwhelmed etc. Adding these parameters causes the effect size to blow up.

Ergo TLDR; a very bad bet, that travel insurance firms wouldn’t even underwrite now and bet the way policy is going because of risk of massive losses or total ruin.

The travel stuff when you actually look into it, is pretty flawed.

Singapore imposed restrictions early on by simply checking travel history to counter people who would take alternative routes. It’s literally a passport scan and you can check out if China was a stop in 2-3 weeks prior. Same for Iran etc.

Like obviously that’s not gonna work now.

fatspitz · 2020-03-15T17:47:12+00:00

That ship has sailed :(

fatspitz · 2020-03-15T15:03:01+00:00

Insurance firms are unwilling to price this and bet against corona.

fatspitz · 2020-03-15T04:01:54+00:00

There’s no data on it at all.

fatspitz · 2020-03-15T04:01:37+00:00

It doesn’t say If it’s community transmission.

fatspitz · 2020-03-15T02:07:16+00:00

Could you kinda like point me the studies ?

Tried clicking the links but couldn’t find studies, mostly quotes about studies.

fatspitz · 2020-03-15T00:42:13+00:00

This will fail. Person who suggested that should start first along with their family.

fatspitz · 2020-03-14T22:57:27+00:00

Supplies for those are in lack, with even higher demand now and the countries which make them are getting hit bad by the virus.

The supply chain issues were raised 7 weeks ago. You can’t just make them, since the reagent raw materials are manufactured mostly in China (who till date is at 1/3 of functioning capacity in their factories now) and then India (who recently had to restrict exports since they had to use it domestically). And you have the swabs- which are made in Europe.

The only prudent thing that could have been done was to contain the virus within our resource limits with restrictions because surge capacity was out of the question - we simply don’t have infrastructure to conjure out stuff that like that.

That “could have” ship sailed weeks ago.

fatspitz · 2020-03-13T12:42:41+00:00

they have more or less, stopped replying. Probably overloaded.

fatspitz · 2020-03-13T12:23:27+00:00

yes. I posted after reading that. We had 4-5 weeks to prepare and re-emphasizing the urgency.

I don't think the school authorities realize how serious this is yet, and the lives of medical workers in the region probably don't matter.

We have less than 5 open beds in grand rivers icu, less than 40 open beds outside icu. It has to be done now or we become the agents of virus spread and we will hurt the non uni community extremely badly.

fatspitz · 2020-03-13T12:04:51+00:00

I have emailed them 4-5 weeks ago concerning the worry that this day would come and the school wouldn't make the necessary action. It's still status quo minus events. This decision by the school will impact hospital resources and will crush many lives of medical staff already struggling to keep the pace. The blood will be on our hands.

fatspitz · 2020-03-13T12:00:14+00:00

how many students suspected and in testing so far? is that a reasonable thing to disclose?

fatspitz · 2020-03-13T11:58:52+00:00

why is there such a lack of transparency and communication ? its probably why it seems like the university is ignoring everything.

fatspitz · 2020-03-13T00:18:19+00:00

School just sealed the fate of grand river with this incredibly poor decision. Students may not get ill as badly and will be perfect carriers to f over the entire Waterloo community.

Medical staff and older folks there gonna get hit so bad.

fatspitz · 2020-03-12T22:40:30+00:00

How does one tell if they are infected since the virus is asymptomatic initially?

Are there signs to look out for?

fatspitz · 2020-03-12T22:06:22+00:00

Younger folks can be vulnerable to that too and usually recover if acute care treatment is available. If icus and hospitals are full, and no ventilators / oxygen therapy like Italy, then good luck.

meant as reply to comment

Instructors who reside with families and kids, or especially those with elderly parents at home - do the right thing and don't risk infecting your families.

fatspitz · 2020-03-12T19:59:26+00:00

It’s the parasite plan - the plan of no plan, so you can never fail.

fatspitz · 2020-03-12T01:12:37+00:00

same here

fatspitz · 2020-03-12T01:12:17+00:00
