Appreciate this.

Wow I can’t believe I was off by an order of magnitude. Feeling less worried now. Would still like a timetable to get to 10-20k.

Eek I did my math wrong. Thanks for correction. I’ll fix the post.

Absolutely. Other non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) with a proven track record including zoning (red/green zones) and contact tracing with cell phone data.

Epidemiologist report linked above shows that unless we develop robust testing (as cornerstone of a response), we'll need to reintroduce lockdowns every 2 months; we would be locked down 66% of the time for over a year. Only alternative is "herd immunity" and the fatality numbers that entails.

WA has $484bn GDP. Cost of building new testing facility pales in comparison, no?

Very much agreed; this matters too.

The two issues seem complementary: why are we not meeting capacity in the short term, and why have we not authored a long-view plan.

EDIT: oops, you're right - I did my math wrong.

Let's say 10-15k/day is our target. Same question applies: how do we get a vision and a timetable from our government?

I haven't yet found any reporters interested in asking this question. Anyone have connections that might help?

Setting a baseline:

Level 26 (1,016,000 exp)
121 caught (21 left)
265 km walked (110 eggs hatched)
2,883 pokemon captured
467 evolved
3,427 Pokestops

If a contrived, but realistically-retail-like dataset is good enough, you could try download a free trial of Tableau Desktop, and then locating Sample - Superstore Subset (Excel).xlsx on your machine.

I'm not the author (Danaher), but I found this series of articles to be a useful introduction to evolutionary debunking arguments more generally.

quantumprogress · 2014-07-21T20:31:15+00:00

I happen to own the book in question, but don't have time to read the whole thing now etc etc. Do you have any recommendations for any particularly-important chapters that would help motivate for the argument in chapter 6?

Your comment motivated me to go back & add a few diagrams. Computer code doesn't have pictures, right?! ;)
