de-factoLjL WHAT? right before the winter waves start no case numbers from Italy anymore?17:23
LjLMhm17:24
LjLI don't know if you heard but we're governed by the guys (and gals) that were the only party left in the opposition when the "lockdowns coalition" was governing17:25
LjLThey plan to do the exact opposite of what they did17:25
LjLI'm thankful they kept a mask mandate in hospital after many experts yelled at them, because they were going to remove it17:25
LjLNo masks in hospital, imagine that. It should be obvious by now that those should be routine, covid or no covid, the same way using gloves and disinfecting medical instruments is17:26
LjL-Matrixde-facto: but we'll have case numbers, just weekly17:27
LjL-MatrixLike many other countries after all17:27
de-factook well at least some indicator then, it would be futile to go complete dark on such metrics17:27
de-factoi mean noone is talking about lockdowns anymore, but we need to be able to observe what happens in terms of incidence to *prevent* situations where more severe measures would be required17:28
LjL-MatrixStill it's a signal of hostility to covid measures anyway17:29
LjL-MatrixThe health minister said something like this, maybe not even realizing his contradictory it is:17:30
LjL-Matrix"The data are not becoming confidential. They'll still be given to the relevant agencies and entities. They just won't be published daily"17:30
LjL-Matrix... that's what becoming confidential means though?17:30
de-factoyes it is imho against the best interests of majorities of citizens as they should hope for as few impact from circulating viruses to their daily life as possible, hence preventing any kind of situations where more severe measures would be required should be the most prevalent common interest17:31
de-factowhy would it make sense to hide data?17:31
de-factoi dont get it17:31
de-factopeople should know about it, so they can be careful etc17:31
LjL-Matrixde-facto: to be fair, the only meaningful data has been the Tuesday data for a long time. Every day TV would go "today we have fewer cases than yesterday, but also fewer tests"... When the same pattern happened exactly the same every single week, it made no sense to report them like that, as if the actual situation was a rollercoaster17:33
LjL-MatrixTuesday had the highest data, Monday the lowest. By pretty much an order of magnitude or so17:34
de-factointerestingly in Germany case numners, hospitalizations for COVID and ICU beds for COVID seem to correlate quite closely https://imgur.com/a/MHCgJVh17:34
LjL-Matrix%cases Germany17:35
BrainstormLjL-Matrix: Germany has had 35.7 million confirmed cases (43.0% of all people) and 154095 deaths (0.4% of cases; 1 in 540 people) as of 11 hours ago. 131.3 million tests were done (1.6 per capita, 27.2% positive). 61.8 million were vaccinated (74.3%). +78629 cases, +281 deaths since a day ago. See https://corona.rki.de/17:36
LjL-MatrixDeath down to 0.4%, wow I still had 0.8 in mind for Italy at least17:36
de-factoi mean here you have to get a positive quicktest in order to do  a PCR and land in official stats, hence positivity rate is irrelevant for now17:36
LjL-Matrix%cases Italy17:37
BrainstormLjL-Matrix: Italy has had 23.5 million confirmed cases (39.1% of all people) and 179101 deaths (0.8% of cases; 1 in 336 people) as of 4 days ago. 252.7 million tests were done (4.2 per capita, 9.3% positive). 48.5 million were vaccinated (80.6%). See https://www.epicentro.iss.it/en/coronavirus/sars-cov-2-dashboard or https://lab24.ilsole24ore.com/coronavirus/en/17:37
LjL-Matrixde-facto: why what do you think you have to do in other countries17:37
LjL-MatrixI don't think there's virtually anywhere left that just gives you PCR right off the bat17:38
LjL-MatrixCertainly not Italy, our positives are virtually all from quick tests17:38
LjL-MatrixI wonder why your vaccination rate is lower. Italy used to be known as the home of anti-vax... We were among the first to start again having measles outbreaks... (I mean before COVID)17:39

Brainstormde-facto: From imgur.com: COVID: Cases and Deaths for Germany, Italy, France, Spain, UK per 100k and week - Album on Imgur17:42
de-factoInterestingly Fatalities in Italy seem to stay on the same level and in Spain even rise while cases dont rise17:43
de-factocorrection: cases do rise in spain17:43
LjL-MatrixMaybe hospitals are getting more crowded with flu and RSV cases17:43
de-factothose are COVID fatalities though17:44
LjL-Matrixde-facto: yes but hospital overcrowding doesn't help anyone, plus you can get infected by multiple things17:44
de-factobut spain seems to have very bad correlation between case numbers and fatalities17:44
de-factoprobably dont test there anymore17:44
de-factoyeah thats true, yet i hope that is not the case yet17:45
LjL-MatrixIt's a shame we sound like the boy who cried wolf telling people to absolutely vaccinate against flu for two years in a row, and then flu basically didn't happen. But this is the year. Get a flu vaccine17:45
LjL-Matrixde-facto: do they seem to have any unusual variant?17:45
LjL-MatrixI am on the phone ATM, can barely read your graphs17:46
LjL-Matrix(Imgur is particularly bad on mobile)17:46
de-factoyeah they are full hd res17:48
de-factoimgur does something weird for mobile clients such as scaling them down or such17:48
