In addition, more than 1.1 million tests manufactured by Integrated DNA Technologieshad been shipped as of March 6 for non-public health labs to use, with another 400,000 possibly shipping by March 9. A separate manufacturer had also produced 640,000 tests that could have shipped as early as March 9, once quality control testing was complete. “The actual number of tests that have shipped is larger than the number of patients that can be tested,” Hahn explained, noting that the approximately 2.1 million tests from IDT and another company would allow roughly 850,000 Americans to be tested. On top of those tests, he added, would be any testing by commercial or academic labs, plus an expected additional 4 million tests from IDT and the other company by the end of this week.

mikewof 1,248 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Regarding these delayed tests for the infection, do y'all understand the math behind more testing? The only possible thing that more testing can do is lower the morality rate, not raise it. When a death occurs, the test for the virus is likely universal in the USA. Nearly all of the confirmed cases of infection were from people who felt sick enough to seek medical care, but up to 80% of those infected with previously studied coronaviruses were asymptotic. Thus any random testing will usually lower mortality because it will be unlikely to expose sick people, and more likely to expose asymptomatic people. We're now up to 37 deaths. Given the apparent exponential increase in infections, why are we only seeing a linear increase in the deaths? Isn't one of the characteristics of an epidemic that the death rate has roughly the same line shape as the infection rate minus the incubation period? When the data doesn't fit the theory, it's either time to change the theory, or time to change the subject to politics, religion or sports. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Se7en 446 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 On 3/11/2020 at 4:28 PM, mikewof said: For the purpose of the morality mortality rate, asymptotic would mean anyone who doesn't feel sufficiently miserable to seek medical help. Because those people aren't typically diagnosed with the virus. How many is that? Without a study, we can only guess. But the virus seems to be virulent from the Chinese results, so based on the confirmed cases, like SARS, I'm going to guess that it's around 90% sufficiently asymptomatic that it isn't diagnosed. I actually agree with your point that unless we know accurately how many are infected, then the serious disease rates and death rates are likely an overstatement. However, that is a double edged sword. if the asymptotic and undiagnosed rate is double what it currently assumed, then we have the good - the death rate is half what is currently being described, plus the bad - the transmission rate is double the current assumption. If there is, as you guess above, a 90% undiagnosed rate, then the virus is massively more contageous than currently thought. I'd suggest Australia might be a worthwhile study - if you focus on the 60 and up age groups. By and large this segment of the population have nothing better to do than annoy their GP, and with our socialised medicine, there is little disincentive for them to do so. So I suspect that there will be a pretty accurate diagnostic rate in the old farts, and we can get both numerator and denominator. Oh - and I'm saddened that you lot seem to have come to the conclusion that heart failure is the universal cause of death. I though most anyone with a modicum of medical knowledge understood that it's cerebral hypoxia / anoxia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When the data doesn't fit the theory, it's either time to change the theory, or time to change the subject to politics, religion or sports. I'm guessing when it's all said and done, the current linearity is because we're squashing the normal exponential growth and extending out the tail. We have multiple mechanisms at play now - one spreading, and several counterspreading. To go back to the 3Brown1Blue thread I posted earlier, it's no longer 1 population with an exponential growth. We have dozens of smaller populations, each with their own growth, that are now being selectively prevented from interacting freely. One method of evaluating how effective any remedy is will be to 'compare to wuhan'. That was the closest thing to a 'normal response' for the longest period. Northern Italy would probably be next where it was allowed to spread a bit further before steps, followed by S. Korea. A dozen PhD students are going to get degrees comparing response strategies. The fallout will be interesting. Obviously, the 'strong border' folks are going to have a field day as will the 'track everyone' crowd. Social advocates will talk about universal health care and need for more preventative care. The supply chain into China is going to get shortened while the push for mass transportation is going to have another hurdle to overcome. We were due for another culture shock and this is it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your humor isn't humor. I have a emotionally challenged relative who exhibits some of the same symptoms you do. His 'jokes' usually involve either serially bothering people, or doing something hurtful. Doctors attribute it to a total lack of social awareness as a result of Aspbergers / Autism. You seem to suffer from the same symptoms: your jokes are insults, your words constantly argumentative and hateful, and you live in your own little isolated world where reality rarely intrudes. You piss people off. But the worst part for you is that appears no one has ever explained it to you and it's too late for you to figure it out.
