de-factoExplanation: the red curve approximates the B.1.1.7 measurements (red crosses), the yellow curve approximates the other variants measurements (yellow crosses) and the blue curve is the sum of both (hence all detected infecitons)00:05
de-factothe scary part: the red crosses for B.1.1.7 lay on a PERFECT exponential, hence the extrapolation into future probably is quite accurate00:05
LjLi understood it without explanation :P00:05
de-factoi am sure every Minister (of federal states) was shown this but they decided to oppose Merkel with blocking anything that could possibly be effective to prevent this00:07
de-facto.tr <de Analyse der 7-Tages Inzidenz als Summe der 7-Tages Inzidenz der Variante B.1.1.7 und aller übrigen Varianten (Datenstand 19.03.2021, n= 14.912). Es zeigt sich ein exponentiell ansteigender Trend der 7-Tages Inzidenz der Variante B.1.1.7 seit Kalenderwoche 2. Diese steigt in jeder Woche um etwa 46% an und hat sich also etwa alle 12-13 Tage verdoppelt.00:11
Brainstormde-facto, German to English: Analysis of the 7-day incidence as the sum of the 7-day incidence of variant B.1.1.7 and all other variants (data as of 19.03.2021, n= 14.912). There is an exponentially increasing trend of the 7-day incidence of variant B.1.1.7 since calendar week 2. This increases by about 46% each week and has doubled approximately every 12-13 days. (MyMemory) [... want %more?]00:11
de-factoso my approximation with 144% was about 2% off00:12
de-factogiven a serial interval of ts = 4d this would mean Rb117 ~ 1.46^(ts/t) = 1.46^(4/7) ~ 1.2400:15
de-factofor the other variants it would be Rd614g ~ (1-0.19)^(ts/t) = 0.81^(4/7) ~ 0.8800:17
de-factothe associated doubling times are tdouble_b117 = 4d ln(2) / ln(Rb117) = 4d ln(2) / ln(1.24) = 12.89d ~ 13d00:19
de-factoand tdouble_d614g = 4d ln(1/2) / ln(Rd614g) = 4d ln(0.5) / ln(0.88)  = 21.69 ~ 22 days00:20
de-factomeaning: the daily infections with B.1.1.7 double each two weeks while the infections with D614G half each 3 weeks00:21
de-factoso Rb117 / Rd614g = 1.24 / 0.88 = 1.4100:23
de-factocorrection: my fit was 144% the RKI numbers suggest 141% so 3% off00:24
de-factobasically we URGENTLY need to enforce at least 41% less contacts, no matter what it costs.00:33
de-factomy prognosis: soon we will need curfews because right now government does not do its job and rather ignore the alarming trends00:34

Brainstormde-facto: From imgur.com: SARS-CoV-2 pseudoviruses performance evaluation - Album on Imgur01:06
de-factoFigure C is quite interesting01:08
de-facto"Pseudoviruses bearing wild-type or the indicated mutant SARS-CoV-2 spike were used to transduce HEK293T-ACE2 cells. Equal viral loads were normalized based on p24 protein levels."01:08
de-facto"48hr post transduction, cells were harvested and their luciferase readouts were monitored. Bar graphs show mean values ± SD error bars of three independent experiments."01:08
de-facto"Measured statistical significance was calculated between experiments by a two-tailed Student’s t test ***P≤0.001."01:08
de-factopretty much all the pseudoviruses containing N501Y show something like ~10-fold increase in relative infectivity (to wild type)01:09
de-factoWould that mean we can assume that all the VoCs containing N501Y might have a similar reproduction rate in a largely immunological naive population (e.g. as long as vaccination does not select the evasive VoCs)?01:11
de-factobecause then it would mean that those VoCs containing N501Y (e.g. SA and BR VoCs) also would reproduce like B.1.1.7 (UK VoC), hence NPIs probably have somewhat similar impact on them01:12
de-factoyet if vaccinations would select the evasive VoCs (e.g. containing E484K) the SA and BR VoCs would have a significant advantage relative to UK VoC01:13
de-factowell unless they dont recombine or B.1.1.7 acquires E484K by convergent evolution that is01:13
de-factoin any case we would be in trouble, hence tolerating new infections has to stop and we have to aim for ZERO COVID while  progressing with vaccinations01:14
de-factoQuite understandable that both Israel and UK not only used NPIs to contain their outbreak (hence enforced R<1) but also closed traveling01:15
de-factoSo they agreed upon that there will be increased containment with a weekly incidence of 100/100k, with the exception of "model regions" evaluating new concepts. well guess how that term is used now...01:44
de-factoevery region above threshold is tempted to be a "model region" just so that it would not have to close or stick to the agreed emergency break.01:45
de-factothis is how disasters are made, mid of April we will reach all time record incidences in Germany01:46
de-factoand with no hope of getting them under control, they will be reached with accelerating reproduction01:47

LjLde-facto, i don't know how they sequence. we have a curfew, have had for a while, doesn't do much i think04:22
de-factowe had a curfew here too, when it was lifted incidence began to rise ca. 4-5 days later04:28
de-factonow we dont have curfew anymore, people are having a LOT of contacts and the effect is that we have constantly rising numbers: https://imgur.com/a/X80w06s04:36
de-factomy opinion is: we should have the most strict lockdown ever imaginable and even go beyond that, it would guarantee the shortest possible time to bring down incidence and then start from low incidence with more smart targeted containment04:40

de-factotheir opinion is the opposite: we should have the lightest lockdown possible and even weaken that as much as possible, it guarantees that incidence stays high hence we need it indefinitely long time but they want to experiment at the same time with new concepts04:42
de-factofor me that sounds like experimenting with a very sick patient despite an effective and cheap treatment is known04:42
de-factoif a family member was having a disease and a medical doctor would ask me: we have two options 1) we might get away with a very cheap and experimental treatment with unknown outcome, it may stabilize but not cure or 2) we have a traditional known to be effective treatment that is not the cheapest but it will help fast04:45
de-factowhich option would i choose?04:45
de-factoi am pretty sure i would go for the traditional effective treatment that helps fast and only consider experimental treatment if my family member was stabilized and not in a runaway worsening disease situation04:46
de-factobtw LjL was there a change in the strategy of Italy around March 10th?04:50
de-factojust asking because it looks like the incidence got a maximum at ~15th https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/italy/04:50
BrainstormNew from The Indian Express: World: UN-backed programme laments Covid-19 vaccine supply woes, looks to US → https://is.gd/SV49rR04:52
LjLde-facto, hmmm i don't really remember :( there were changes, but i don't remember when. but in italy the way it works in general is every region has a color that identifies how "hard" the lockdown is, and the color can change on a weekly basis depending on the epidemic parameters in that region05:02
de-factoi am just curious because it seems there is a peak at March 15th hence roughly one 5-10 days before that it must have a cause05:04
de-factoso something in first third of March05:04
LjLi've lost the sense of time tbh05:07
LjLde-facto, what happened is that basically the government overrode the "color codes" and just said that the bad regions will become red, and everything else orange. but i don't remember when it happened05:10
LjLanyway when that happened, that was an increase in restrictions, not a loosening05:10
LjLloosening happened in february for some regions i guess05:10
de-factoyeah and on 24th of Feb incidence began to rise05:11
de-factoyeah and on 20th of Feb incidence began to rise05:11
LjLyeah i think what you're seeing around march 15 is not the result of a restriction around march 10, but just the peak of whatever february started05:12
de-factoevery change that increases restrictions in times of incidence that is above a level that can be controlled by more targeted measures is the correct approach05:12
LjLprobably a lot of it is due to the UK variant05:12
LjLbut now incidence *seems* to be slowly going down05:12
LjLso maybe that's a slightly reassuring sign that the UK variant won't just cause a never-ending exponential05:12
LjLmaybe05:12
de-factoyeah i really hope its a solidifying trend05:12
de-factoin decreasing new infections that is of course05:13
de-factoit can be done as UK, Ireland, Portugal etc demonstrated05:13
de-factobut they really put some effort into achieving that, i am completely missing that in Germany at the moment05:14
de-factothankfully the people in Italy are a bit more capable to learn and fight for regaining control05:15
LjLi just see plenty of people in the streets and no police checks at all05:15
LjLso i think the virus is mostly doing its own thing05:15
LjLregardless of what italy does05:15
de-factowell infections happen indoors and when people dont distance05:16
de-factobut yeah people walking on streets have destinations that probably are somewhere indoors05:16
de-factoLjL, i disagree with assuming the virus does its own thing, imho the virus does its thing with mathematical precision, absolutely predictable and the peoples behavior in terms or risk contacts is what brings in the dynamic changes of incidence05:19
de-factothat is on an epidemiological level where individual deviations from the average case are smoothed out05:23
de-factoi think it would be important to have some feedback, just so that changes in incidence can be correlated to their cause in the behavior of the majority05:28
de-factoin both directions of course05:29
LjLde-facto, that's why i found those sites that collected all the changes in restrictions in various countries with an API interesting05:32
LjLbut i never even saved them anywhere05:32
LjLi'd have to research them all over again now05:33
LjLi don't know why sometimes i don't do obvious things :(05:33
de-factoyeah indeed having a location where one quickly could look up such things would be useful, its one of the first questions many people ask that try to understand cause and effect in terms of new infections05:39
