Feb 11? Yeah... it was studies like that built with suspect data from China which should have come with massive warnings.... in their title.
South Korea which provided full testing and traced every positive result showed similar R0 calculations of approx. 4.0 for its initial set of infections. However until a larger community of analysis and testing is performed then the actual world-wide R0 value will not be known. The infection rate is also impacted by the response in a country; a county that is uncontrolled will have a much higher R0 rate than a nation with a stay at home order in place.
2 main reasons----Elevators and limited sunlight. They are in a cave even in the streets, much like bats-------see what I did there?
but your study was on data from China... the scientist would have known it was garbage but it was shit like that that went into models Models which have turned out to be dramatically wrong. It was a shaped narrative and it was used to control us. Parents can get away with that trick once or twice but then their kids rebel. If our Govt wants us to be good citizens again in the future Govt leaders, the media and the expert like Fauci need to be truthful about what seeing and what they are asking.
I have been working on the same concepts... and back when I lived the area ... all those markets down on the ground floors were very dense.... not much room to walk around. Not sure there are as many ground floor markets now.
Sadly April 15th... By learning from a MERS outbreak in 2015, South Korea was prepared and acted swiftly to ramp up testing when the new coronavirus appeared there. Meanwhile, the U.S., plagued by delay and dysfunction, wasted its advantage. https://www.propublica.org/article/...-testing-while-the-us-fell-dangerously-behind Our leaders are always too proud to admit someone else did it better and ask for collaberation or guidance. One thing the WHO did correct is that they had a template for the testing that could have been copied but the U.S./CDC decided to come up with one from scratch. April 15th and we still lack appropriate number of tests or drive through centers to get the country back open. Maybe by May 31st...
I read earlier that the South Korean government went straight to the private sector to develop and manufacture test. That specifically looks like the differentiating factor. The US initially relied on big government, the CDC, to develop and manufacture the test which was a complete and total failure. So, this is a great example of big government failing.
