| joerg_rw | nice | 03:00 |
| LjL | de-facto, i've found two not-great-but-interesting things about ICU in Italy | 03:06 |
| LjL | de-facto, https://www.infodata.ilsole24ore.com/2020/10/15/terapie-intensive-scopri-in-tempo-reale-quanti-posti-sono-occupati/ (same website as the data i often link to) gives the percentage occupied per region, but it doesn't really get into details of "percentage of what" (there is much confusion on which ICU beds are ready, which can be "laid out as needed", which have doctors/nurses available for them...) | 03:07 |
| LjL | and then there is this official government graph https://www.agenas.gov.it/covid19/web/index.php?r=site%2Fgraph3 which AIUI says nothing about occupation, it simply states how many ICU per resident each region has, divided into the ones that have been pre-allocated for COVID and the ones that aren't | 03:08 |
| LjL | disappointingly Lombardy is *below* the national average :\ | 03:08 |
| LjL | even after all these supposed improvements | 03:08 |
| ryouma | why are there not mobile icu trucks | 03:09 |
| LjL | i have the feeling there are some people who should go to jail, but i honestly can't even make sense of who it should be | 03:09 |
| LjL | ryouma, those are called "ambulances" :P they are literally being used as patient beds in some places where hospitals are no longer accepting new patients | 03:09 |
| LjL | ryouma, but i understand what you mean... in italy, the thing is there's a lot of rigidity about the whole system, because healthcare is basically managed on a regional basis, so, last spring, they even had trouble moving patients to other regions when Lombardy was full... i don't think it was because of physical difficulty moving them (maybe partly also), but bureaucracy, and the regions not wanting to take them | 03:11 |
| LjL | so if you make mobile units, with a system like italy's, you still have the problem "who wants them?" | 03:11 |
| LjL | who manages them, who owns them | 03:11 |
| LjL | it has to be a region, not the central government | 03:11 |
| LjL | i hope this silliness gets reversed at least partly | 03:11 |
| de-facto | nice | 03:11 |
| LjL | it's clearly showing it's not working well. it started in the early 2000, before that time, healthcare was on a national basis | 03:12 |
| de-facto | so the first graph is percent with those lines at 30 and 100? | 03:12 |
| LjL | de-facto, yeah | 03:12 |
| LjL | de-facto, but, percent of COVID-reserved ICUs? all ICUs? not very clear | 03:12 |
| LjL | de-facto, one could say "hey if you have free ICUs, put COVID patients in them, whether or not they are dedicated to COVID!" but it's not so easy since you risk infecting with COVID patients that are in ICU for other reasons | 03:13 |
| de-facto | surprisingly low percentage | 03:13 |
| LjL | de-facto, except guess where ;( | 03:13 |
| de-facto | Lombardia? | 03:13 |
| LjL | yeppers | 03:14 |
| LjL | the other regions that are close to Lombardy are very small | 03:14 |
| LjL | but they do have an issue | 03:14 |
| LjL | it's strange because they are pretty wealthy regions | 03:14 |
| LjL | but i've noticed this with places like small states too... they have a very high prevalence of COVID, often | 03:15 |
| LjL | (unless they are Tonga and have none!) | 03:15 |
| de-facto | i am curious about the time development of those occupied beds, because it may allow extrapolations | 03:15 |
| LjL | hmm, good point | 03:15 |
| LjL | let me see if maybe the government's github has csv data on this | 03:16 |
| de-facto | i mean if the daily new patients in need for ICU beds are approximately the same as the daily recovered from ICU those occupied beds should stay more or less the same | 03:16 |
| de-facto | thats why i looked at the daily change for germany, e.g. change = icu(date) - icu(date - 1 day) | 03:17 |
| LjL | unrelated but interesting: https://github.com/pcm-dpc/COVID-19/blob/master/dati-contratti-dpc-forniture/dpc-covid19-dati-contratti-dpc-forniture.csv has all the contracts that have been made for PPEs and such, including amounts | 03:18 |
| LjL | de-facto, no, the occupied ICUs are going up, i know that much | 03:18 |
| LjL | i don't know by how much and i don't have a graph (for now), but they are going up | 03:19 |
| de-facto | this should be monitored very closely since thats where the problem should be avoided (even if they are behind incidence by maybe 10-14 days) | 03:20 |
| de-facto | hmm maybe even less time | 03:22 |
| LjL | de-facto, well, https://github.com/pcm-dpc/COVID-19/blob/master/dati-regioni/dpc-covid19-ita-regioni-latest.csv has the number of patients currently in ICU, and the same file is available for every past date, so it's a bit of a chore but they can all be downloaded and a graph built from the terapia_intensiva column. but i've found nowhere that lists, in time, how many ICUs are *available* to be used | 03:22 |
| de-facto | nice what about the last one https://github.com/pcm-dpc/COVID-19/blob/master/dati-regioni/dpc-covid19-ita-regioni.csv | 03:24 |
| de-facto | does that include all dates and a column of occupied icus? | 03:25 |
| LjL | de-facto, oh, whoops, yes :P | 03:26 |
| LjL | i guess that's the "time series" one | 03:26 |
| LjL | they could have written TIME SERIES | 03:26 |
| LjL | and then i would have known! | 03:26 |
| de-facto | date, state, code_region, denomination_regione, lat, long, hospitalized_with_symptoms, intensive_ therapy, total_hospitalized, isolation_domicile, total_positive, variation_total_positive, new_positive, discharged_healed, deceased, cases_with_suspect_diagnosis, cases_tested_cases, total_cases | 03:26 |
| de-facto | those seem to be the columns translated to english | 03:26 |
| LjL | yes, that looks accurate | 03:27 |
| LjL | intensive_therapy is ICU | 03:27 |
| LjL | isolation_domicile sounds weird but it's just those left isolating at home | 03:27 |
| LjL | discharged_healed, if only they were really healed... but anyway, "recovered and discharged from hospital" | 03:27 |
| de-facto | so hmm lets importat that into an SQL to add up all the regions for each date or such | 03:28 |
| LjL | it may be useful to keep the regions separate | 03:28 |
| LjL | multi-colored graph | 03:28 |
| LjL | looks like i don't know how to use a spreadsheet | 03:31 |
| de-facto | hmm this will take some time | 03:33 |
| joerg_rw | >><ryouma> why are there not mobile icu trucks<< maybe its just more practical to have those in tents or sport halls than in trucks. Being mounted on a truck doesnt seem to have any adavantages | 03:34 |
| ryouma | i amend my comment | 03:34 |
| LjL | de-facto, i thought it would be relatively trivial to use the denominazione_regione rows as a legend for the data, but apparently spreadsheets only like legends as column headings | 03:37 |
| LjL | de-facto, this is the best i seem to be able to obtain, lol https://pic.infini.fr/CdFJwqJv/4UHoJnB5.png | 03:42 |
| LjL | it still gives some idea i guess | 03:42 |
| LjL | the "sawtooth" appearance is because i'm not summing anything, each data point is a different region | 03:42 |
| LjL | obviously the one that tops the graph is Lombardy | 03:42 |
| LjL | so at least we can see we aren't yet at the point we reached in spring | 03:43 |
| de-facto | heh that looks pretty good already | 03:43 |
| Brainstorm | Updates for Idaho, US: +1781 cases (now 85125), +35 deaths (now 798) since 21 hours ago — US: +157654 cases (now 11.7 million), +1604 deaths (now 254255) since 21 hours ago — France: +59172 cases (now 2.1 million) since 21 hours ago — Uruguay: +104 cases (now 4208), +1 deaths (now 68) since 21 hours ago | 03:43 |
| de-facto | maybe use lines | 03:43 |
| LjL | that *is* a lines graph :P | 03:43 |
| de-facto | i have the data in SQLite now i need to make the correct query | 03:44 |
| LjL | it goes up and down and looks like it's dense | 03:44 |
| LjL | but that's just because it's covering every region, and then doing it again, for every date | 03:44 |
| de-facto | oh | 03:44 |
| LjL | it's crap but it does give a general idea of how things stand in comparison to spring | 03:45 |
| ryouma | i do hope that advisors are not making any basic data errors | 03:47 |
| ryouma | like that econ paper | 03:47 |
| de-facto | which are the columns of interest? | 03:48 |
| LjL | de-facto, well, "data" for the timestamp, "denominazione_regione" for which region it's about (each timestamp has each region listed), and "terapia_intensiva" for the occupied ICUs in that region | 03:51 |
| LjL | and then you may also be interested in hospitalization etc but i guess look at ICU first | 03:51 |
| LjL | "ricoverati_con_sintomi" is people hospitalized *not* in ICU | 03:51 |
| LjL | "totale_ospedalizzati" is everyone who is hospitalized | 03:51 |
| LjL | so, the one + the other | 03:51 |
| de-facto | id use codice_regione for simplicity | 03:54 |
| de-facto | 22 states right? | 03:54 |

| de-facto | LjL, ^^ | 04:09 |
| LjL | nice, thanks | 04:10 |
| LjL | Italy as a whole is... pretty close to spring | 04:10 |
| LjL | but apparently Lombardy not so much yet | 04:10 |
| de-facto | if you want i can give you the sql import script so you can play around with all the columns and queries | 04:11 |
| LjL | de-facto, well, i don't really know what to use to make graphs from sqlite data | 04:12 |
| de-facto | tsv output | 04:12 |
| LjL | oh so you manipulate it in sqlite and then output tsv to use in a spreadsheet? | 04:13 |
| LjL | i'd probably use python to go from csv to csv directly, i'm not best friends with sql, but maybe it's worth getting a reminder course | 04:14 |
| de-facto | LjL, here you go https://paste.gg/p/anonymous/0461db81ebe94a60a2b4d22c126996b0 | 04:14 |
| de-facto | yes SQLite is quite good for querying | 04:14 |
| de-facto | especialy sqlitebrowser | 04:15 |
| de-facto | then output to tsv and graph from that with your favorite graphing tool | 04:15 |
| de-facto | e.g. gnuplot, matplotlib etc | 04:15 |
| LjL | that's quite the sql-bash mixture! | 04:15 |
| de-facto | you can run it as cronjob it got a caching functionality in the data subfolder | 04:15 |
| LjL | i see you had to do a bit of work with the timestamps | 04:16 |
| de-facto | yeah and also did not care about other interesting columns but that pattern should be the same, so the tsv is purely generated by the output of the sqlite query | 04:16 |
| LjL | i might get a webpage up with it | 04:16 |
| LjL | right | 04:17 |
| de-facto | thats behind my webpage :) | 04:17 |
| de-facto | i run it as systemd timer once a day | 04:17 |
| LjL | do you have a webpage with similar graphs for germany or other places? | 04:17 |
| LjL | it may be worth listing in the links | 04:18 |
| de-facto | i run plotly.js on the tsv output | 04:18 |
| de-facto | for germany but i am shy about sharing it yet :D | 04:18 |
| LjL | alright | 04:18 |
| de-facto | %title https://imgur.com/a/Bsb5V8D https://i.imgur.com/6CfaSRO.png source https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pcm-dpc/COVID-19/master/dati-regioni/dpc-covid19-ita-regioni.csv | 04:37 |
| Brainstorm | de-facto: From imgur.com: COVID-19 Italy: Daily change in occupied ICU beds - Album on Imgur | 04:37 |
| de-facto | LjL, ^^ what do you think about this? | 04:37 |
| LjL | de-facto, it seems like... goodish news? but i don't understand the yellow line | 04:39 |
| LjL | (do we need more evidence that lockdowns work?) | 04:41 |
| de-facto | so change = icus_occupied(date) - icus_occupied(date - 1day) and the yellow line is reproduction = 100 * (change(date - 0) + change(date - 1) + change(date - 2) + change(date - 4)) / (change(date - 5) + change(date - 6) + change(date - 7) + change(date - 8)) | 04:41 |
| de-facto | 100 * reproduction similar to the one for new cases incidence for a serial interval of 4 days | 04:42 |
| de-facto | unless that tail effect is some reporting delay or such | 04:42 |
| de-facto | the change is the time derivative of total ICU occupied by COVID-19 patients | 04:43 |
| de-facto | so if that change plateaus or even transitions to a decline in increase it would be really good news indeed. if it crosses zero ICU beds are constant (same amount of new cases requiring ICU as the sum of recoveries and fatalities) | 04:44 |
| de-facto | if that change eventually becomes negative the total number of ICU beds declines meaning the situation is under control | 04:45 |
| de-facto | that can be seen after the first wave | 04:45 |
| de-facto | same for reproduction if it is below 100 its a decline in change of total ICU beds, if its above 100 its an increase | 04:46 |
| de-facto | (I just multiplied by 100 to make it visible on the same axis) | 04:47 |
| de-facto | so it kinda sorta looks like the increase in daily occupied ICU beds may have plateaued since November, meaning the exponential raise in total ICU beds became somewhat linear during November | 04:48 |
| de-facto | (the blue line in the first graph of total ICU beds for Italy being a straight line or even below a straight line instead of an exponential increase) | 04:49 |

| de-facto | "Those efficacy numbers, though, are measured for symptomatic coronavirus cases. The vaccine trial participants are not being pulled in at regular intervals for testing to see if they’ve gone positive-though-asymptomatic. We may get controlled data of that sort eventually, but for now, we know from the Moderna trial that the few people who came down with symptoms at all had very mild cases." | 20:23 |
| de-facto | from the Derek Loewe blog | 20:23 |
| tinwhiskers | ah | 20:24 |
| de-facto | "The antibody levels that we’re seeing would argue for a low probability of having a significant number of vaccinated people walking around asymptomatically shedding coronavirus, and for anyone who does to be shedding a lot less of it for a shorter period of time." | 20:24 |
| tinwhiskers | Still, things are about as well as you could most optimistically expect. Amazingly fast. | 20:25 |
| de-facto | "...the worst case for a weakly effective vaccine might be that it could actually raise that number for a while by creating more asymptomatic cases rather than having the infection make people aware that they need to stay the hell inside. But I don’t think we’re going to see that. I think that the efficacy levels we’re seeing are indeed going to be epidemic-breaking if we can get sufficient numbers of people vaccinated." | 20:26 |
| tinwhiskers | If people could just pull their heads in for another few months and suppress these runaway cases we could be looking back on most of this in a year. | 20:26 |
| de-facto | yeah it looks very good so far | 20:26 |
| de-facto | but also like its about time for vaccination e.g. with those potential escape mutations etc | 20:27 |
| tinwhiskers | does this also mean we may have vaccines for a chunk of common cold viruses in the near future? | 20:28 |
| de-facto | scaling production and delivery logistics to scale up for simultaneous worldwide vaccination will be a huge challenge still though | 20:29 |
| tinwhiskers | yeah | 20:29 |
| tinwhiskers | I wish we could find a way to have countries contributing to production. | 20:29 |
| tinwhiskers | The tech isn't particularly complicated | 20:30 |
| de-facto | the shorter the period for reaching the very majority the better because we have to hit it with a hammer everywhere at the same time to not give it a chance to build escape mutations under the new immunologic pressure from vaccinated people | 20:30 |
| tinwhiskers | yeah | 20:30 |
| de-facto | if it would be done too slow it might have a chance to "find a way" around that immunity just as common cold covs do every year | 20:31 |
| tinwhiskers | right | 20:31 |
| de-facto | so i hope they put every effort possible into making production scale with the HUGE demand | 20:32 |
| tinwhiskers | but just getting numbers down in general helps reduce the chance of a change that defeats current antibodies. | 20:32 |
| tinwhiskers | these runaway numbers are not at all good | 20:32 |
| de-facto | yeah but still if it is allowed to "bruteforce" the widespread immunity by vaccination (e.g. few people still carrying it doing mutations) it might be able to find a mutation that evades, hence we really need to reach as many people as fast as possible at the same time | 20:34 |
