LjLsensationalist headline05:32
LjLi mean, technically true05:32
LjLbut the number is 16000 officially from coronavirus, and this estimate claims there's 4000 more unaccounted for05:32
LjLbut the headline, while not being technically wrong, makes the reader thinks the unaccounted-for deaths are six times the normal05:32
friedbatLjL: the news is broken05:32
friedbatthe entire profit model is based on "clicks" so you get this kind of thing05:33
LjLi think headlines have been broken probably since before this model05:36
LjLthey are specifically written by someone who is *not* the article's author05:36
LjLi may be wrong but i think that's been the case for an (un)fair amount of time05:36

LjLfriedbat, also, i got that headline from reddit first (as in, non-live, i saw it before the bot posted it), and the closeest it got to the article's *content* being discussed was something along the lines of "why is it considered okay to post paywalled/mailwalled links?"05:40
LjLso... maybe they are failing at even clicks05:40
LjLsince people *won't* click when they have something like reddit that gives them both the headline and something to bicker on05:40
LjLmaybe this is why the EU was so keep to make a directive stopping Google News and similar things from "stealing" headlines05:41
LjLso keen*05:41
LjLwhich is ridiculous, but if the product consists of a headline tricking into clicking an article that doesn't match the headline, then you don't want people to be shown the headline in a way that doesn't lead to clicking05:41

mefistofelesDocScrutinizer05: what's that?17:51
DocScrutinizer05they infer the more recent numbers from the error in past numbers17:52
DocScrutinizer05which means it emphasizes changes of trends a lot17:52
mefistofeleshmm ok17:52
mefistofelesthough that's a standard practice in statistical modelling17:52
DocScrutinizer05it is, but it's not very reliable it seems17:53
mefistofelessuch as in boosting 17:54
tinwhiskersNoImNotNineVolt: you've got to consider also that when you're down to numbers of cases you can count on one hand that the testing ability is vastly higher than the potential cases so all contacts and anything vaguely resembling symptoms can be tested. The testing is far more effective at detecting cases in that situation than when they are being used sparingly and on a highly restricted manner.17:54
NoImNotNineVolttinwhiskers: if you assume that you're down to numbers of cases you can count on one hand. but i see no reason to make that assumption due to the limited accuracy of tests, the high rate of asymptomatic carriers, etc.17:56

mefistofelesNoImNotNineVolt: I'm not sure that's really the case, given enough time they tend to be 100% specific17:58
mefistofelesso if the country is doing proper testing, then it should be close to that17:58
NoImNotNineVoltmefistofeles: i'm not sure either, but that's the current data.17:58
tinwhiskersContact tracing and basic epidemiology shows were really are that low. Yes, there might be some community spread yet to appear but for the last week or so all cases have been linked to existing contacts so it's looking more and more likely they are contained and heading toward elimination.17:58
NoImNotNineVolttinwhiskers: contact tracing depends on knowing who's infected. my point is that we don't know that.17:58
tinwhiskersAs your numbers get lower and lower your testing becomes more effective and you can become more sure of your findings17:59
mefistofelesunless the tests in the country are really low and the country is not able to track the suspected cases, maybe there's a significant rate of false negatives17:59
mefistofelesbut otherwise I don't see that happening17:59
NoImNotNineVoltwe don't know the numbers are getting lower, and i've seen no evidence that testing is becoming more effective.17:59
NoImNotNineVoltcan you be more specific in your claims?17:59
mefistofelesNoImNotNineVolt: well, basically you test two times, separated in time18:00
NoImNotNineVoltmefistofeles: current pcr tests have a false negative rate as high as 30% for individual tests. this has nothing to do with how widely testing is applied.18:00
mefistofelesif the first time was a false negative, the second time must give a real positive18:00
NoImNotNineVoltmefistofeles: why?18:00
mefistofeleslike almost 100%18:00
tinwhiskersErm... There are zero cases showing up with symptoms outside of the known clusters18:00
NoImNotNineVolttinwhiskers: the entire world.18:01
mefistofelesNoImNotNineVolt: because that's how the virus load builds up18:01
NoImNotNineVolti'm not sure what you mean when you say that.18:01
tinwhiskersIf there was community spread *some* cases would show up elsewhere18:01
NoImNotNineVoltmefistofeles: there are many documented cases of repeated negative results followed by a positive result on only a fourth or fifth test.18:01
mefistofelesNoImNotNineVolt: what do you mean by many? and please don't include that of the faulty tests we already know about18:02
mefistofelesfaulty test kits18:02
mefistofelesnot faulty because of the method itself18:02
NoImNotNineVoltmefistofeles: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.11.20021493v2.full.pdf18:02
NoImNotNineVoltthe "why" may be interesting (and it's mostly related to sample preparation), but it's not relevant.18:03
NoImNotNineVolt30% false negative rate. that's the reality.18:03
tinwhiskersIf you get zero cases showing up in hospitals (except those from known contacts) you know there is no community spread.18:03
NoImNotNineVolttinwhiskers: that's not true at all.18:03
mefistofelesNoImNotNineVolt: I don't think that shows the point you are referring to18:03
NoImNotNineVoltmefistofeles: it shows that the false negative rate is as high as 30%, doesn't it?18:04
tinwhiskersNoImNotNineVolt: but it is true, so I don't know what more to tell you18:04
NoImNotNineVolttinwhiskers: so you're saying it's not possible for coronavirus to be transmitted between asymptomatic carriers?18:04

mefistofeles3 out of 176 for the mild cases18:06
mefistofeleswere false negatives18:06
NoImNotNineVoltmy mistake. i was reponding to your immediate past comment. i thought we're talking about 30% false positive rates on pcr testing in general, not new zealand.18:07
tinwhiskers[04:58:23] <b300cctinwhiskers> Contact tracing and basic epidemiology shows were really are that low. Yes, there might be some community spread yet to appear but for the last week or so all cases have been linked to existing contacts so it's looking more and more likely they are contained and heading toward elimination.18:07
tinwhiskersLast week or so... Looking more and more like18:07
NoImNotNineVolti'll still disagree with "several weeks" being sufficient to reach any significant measure of confidence.18:07
tinwhiskersI also said I thought jacinda was getting ahead of herself, 18:07
tinwhiskersSo you do agree that given time it's valid then18:08
NoImNotNineVoltthe probability of 2 or 3 subsequent transmissions between only asymptomatic carriers isn't 0, particularly if there's still social distancing in place.18:08
NoImNotNineVolti'd put it more on the order of several months.18:08
Biep[m]!cases world18:09

tinwhiskersWhen you get down to symptomatic cases being only a handful and have months of contact tracing with only a few outliers, then reach point where you have all cases are under active contact tracing your ability to test effectively is much better than when tests are limited18:11

NoImNotNineVolttinwhiskers: consider that current evidence suggests 2/3 of carriers are asymptomatic.18:12
tinwhiskersExactly18:12
NoImNotNineVolttinwhiskers: "only a few outliers" is a strange assumption in this context.18:12
BlankspaceAsymptomatic means they don't get I'll themselves but can infect others18:13
NoImNotNineVolta majority of new infections will come from asymptomatic carriers, many of whom were not part of the contact tracing network on account of nobody knowing they're carriers.18:13
tinwhiskersIf there was community spread occurring about a third of those would be showing up with symptoms18:13
tinwhiskersAnd we're getting zero18:13
NoImNotNineVoltwhat percentage of new cases can be accounted for via contact tracing?18:13
NoImNotNineVoltand how many of them were actually the result of unknown secondary exposures to asymptomatic carriers?18:14
tinwhiskersImpossible to say18:14
NoImNotNineVoltit's not knowable.18:14
NoImNotNineVolttht's my point.18:14
mefistofeleshttps://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(20)30158-4/fulltext oh, this is interesting18:14

mefistofelesconsidering that a couple of days ago I read some news from a latin american country telling there were towns with dengue epidemic all over18:14
tinwhiskersBut since no cases are showing up outside known clusters it's looking likely that cases are limited to those clusters18:14

mefistofeleswoah, so looking at the data from RKI, there seems to be a real significant difference between women and men19:23
mefistofeleshow are they explaining that? do you know?19:23
mefistofelesin the death numbers, btw19:23
mefistofelesNYC also saw something similar and are even trying some teatment using estrogen in patients19:24
mefistofelesafaik19:25
LjLMrc4, conclusion of the article: "But the American public remains divided on the issue with Trump appearing to flip flop between supporting the lockdowns and reviving the economy. Several American states have plans to ease restrictions in May." ← maybe the flip-flopping and bad implementations in America are more the issue, rather than "everyone is foolish and should do what Sweden does"19:25
LjLalso, these antibody tests are widely cautioned about because they may have a high rate of false positives resulting in an apparent high rate of immunity19:26
mefistofelesSweden also has much more ICUs beds than most countries :P19:26
LjLthe fact remains that it has been thoroughly shown in practice that this disease CAN overwhelm healthcare systems, hospitals, ICUs, and everything, causing deaths both from COVID-19 and from lack of proper assistance19:26
mefistofelesthat is, per capita19:26
LjLmefistofeles, and it has a low population density19:26
LjLthere are differences that cannot just be ignored19:26
LjLbut then the article compares with Norway, which has even lower density19:27
LjLfine19:27
mefistofelesLjL: also, and are *very* good at social distancing, without any pandemic19:27
LjL%cases norway19:27
BrainstormLjL: In all areas, Norway, there are 7619 total cases (0.1% of the population) and 206 deaths (2.7% of cases) as of 8 minutes ago. 165951 tests were performed (4.6% positive). See https://offloop.net/covid19/?default=Norway for time series data.19:27
LjLthere is an obvious difference here https://offloop.net/covid19/?default=Norway;Sweden between norway and sweden.19:27
LjLwhereas the article just goes "So far, the country records 1,659 cases per 1 million people and 200 deaths per million people–well within the normal range for Europe. For comparison, Germany reports 1,828 cases per 1 million, while neighboring Norway reports 1,365 cases per 1 million people."19:28
LjLthe implication is, despite no lockdown, it's going more or less the same as neighboring countries, like Norway19:28

LjLthe "normal range for Europe" turned out to be terrifying compared to what we were expecting after Wuhan19:30
LjLaround 2000 people had died, to our knowledge, in Wuhan, and that seemed like a tragedy19:30
LjLnow Sweden alone had more than 2000 deaths on the day that article was written19:30
LjLand the population of Sweden is *a little* lower than the population of China, or even of Hubei19:31

LjLMrc4, and that Stanford research, like many other antibody tests, is already being criticized. we just don't know that those findings are true, and we also don't know a lot of other important things, such as how young people are affected even when they recover at home (some of them have lung damage regardless, and there may be subtler long-term effects we have no yet fully studied)19:37
LjL"The Swedish government encourages young, healthy people to go out and potentially get infected to create widespread immunity to the disease that will protect more vulnerable people from catching it."19:37
LjLthis just sounds like recklessness to me, not like a wise policy of creating herd immunity19:37
LjLthey are telling people to go and cough on each other without KNOWING what will happen. they may cherry-pick studies and hope they are right, but they don't KNOW.19:38

BrainstormNew from CNBC Health at 21:10 UTC: (news): Coronavirus live updates: US cases top 1 million, California to 'gradually' reopen once testing, tracing improves → https://is.gd/OtEp4A23:14
izwhy does it feel like this is the second time the us topped 1 mil?23:15
LjLbecause exponential curves mess up brains?23:15
LjL-Matrixtinwhiskers and John it's true they're kicked here too, but they're not banned. Getting bans across the bridge is technically trickier so I don't think it happens23:17
tinwhiskersAh23:17
freelockwell I think I just saw him attempt to join and immediately get kicked again...23:18
LjL-MatrixJohn: what I see is the bridge changing tinwhiskers's level to moderator and then back to default (which looks weird on Matrix but reproduces the way it's done on IRC), and in between those, the user was kicked23:19
LjL-MatrixJohn: ah, that's cool, I see... it looks like it *is* reproducing the ban from IRC, but I'm confused because I'm not seeing this on my end23:20
LjL-MatrixJohn: okay, nevermind, I get it. So I was wrong, the ban is carried across, except not as a real Matrix ban, but instead it kicks the user immediately if the host matches. Good to know.23:21
freelockmaybe you have some of the join/part messages hidden?23:21
izi think it's just a matter of different info sources23:21
LjL-MatrixI think this doesn't happen with IRC quiets, though, so that's a reason to use bans I guess, even though I've mostly used quiets for this channel instead (but not for a technical reason)23:22
mefistofelesso, how many new ban cases today? xD23:26
