    undertesting, from the beginning, was and is de facto US policy for COVID-19

    As the U.S. confronted a new wave of infection and death through the summer and fall, the president’s approach to the pandemic came down to a single question: What would it mean for him?

    Yeah, I took it for 3 years before my first stroke. It aint the panacea its made out to be.
    Aspirin as great as a preventative as long as you take it. If you stop even for a day though your chances of having an attack go up like eight times or something like that.

    No I say you're showing signs of mental illness because you'll do that literally for 3 months straight 12 hours a day with two liners of smileys and LOLs and claims of victory and response to the same troll.

    And you've been doing it for years. There is a little difference. I can do a direct compare and contrast if you'd like.

    here's another thread about doing one dose vaccination instead of the recommended two, this one from a Yale immunologist

    tl;dr the 55% more contagious B.1.1.7 variant *might* make it advisable to get as many people vaccinated right now, and administer second doses whenever they become available.

    given the stage in the pandemic we are at, a more transmissible variant is in some ways much more dangerous than a more severe variant. That’s because higher transmissibility subjects us to a more contagious virus spreading with exponential growth, whereas the risk from increased severity would have increased in a linear manner, affecting only those infected.

    To understand the difference between exponential and linear risks, consider an example put forth by Adam Kucharski, a professor at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine who focuses on mathematical analyses of infectious-disease outbreaks. Kucharski compares a 50 percent increase in virus lethality to a 50 percent increase in virus transmissibility. Take a virus reproduction rate of about 1.1 and an infection fatality risk of 0.8 percent and imagine 10,000 active infections—a plausible scenario for many European cities, as Kucharski notes. As things stand, with those numbers, we’d expect 129 deaths in a month. If the fatality rate increased by 50 percent, that would lead to 193 deaths. In contrast, a 50 percent increase in transmissibility would lead to a whopping 978 deaths in just one month—assuming, in both scenarios, a six-day infection-generation time.

    So how much more transmissible? We aren’t completely sure yet, but the initial estimates from the data suggest that this variant could be about 50 to 70 percent more transmissible than regular COVID-19.

    Sidebar: in line with the Washington U/St. Louis study posted upstream, China probably lowballed initial cases by a factor of 10.

    Supposing the PRC has misstated its overall COVID cases by a factor of 100, that would still be about 100 times fewer cases per capita than the USA.

    https://thehill.com/changing-america...ay-have-had-10


    (Not suggesting anyone should move to China, just pointing out how far from adequate the US response to COVID has been and how far we have to go to match the competence of other developed countries.)

    A little late, don't you think?

    Peru is one of the (4) countries in the world with more than 20 million people that is doing worse than the USA.

    Maybe the USA will be willing to try stronger medicine when daily deaths reach 5,000-10,000.
