What we need to do is to make sure we flatten the curve over the next 8-12 weeks, then we should move towards TEST and TRACE system until vaccine is ready to be used.

Nah the previous article that was taken down was talking about how it's just politicians trying to up one another with stricter measures to look good for next election. It argued that economic hit will affect more than the actual virusDefinition of Statistics: The science of producing unreliable facts from reliable figures.

What makes the COVID-19 different. A nice summary of what it means for our hospital resources and staff.

Are you saying we're gonna live like this for the next 12 months?
No idea where Canada is at on the testing front though.

But there will need to be a heavy response now to flatten the curve then public health will basically be on high alert to identify cases early, target and trace and quarantine all contacts of confirmed cases to isolate and shut down future introductions of the virus to your local population ASAP. They're hoping those future responses will be able to be targeted and wont' need to be wide spread. And yes, all that is likely to continue for 12-24 months until we either have a vaccine or figure out some other way to solve this problem.
Once borders open up a bit and international travel resumes as much as it can, I expect 14 days self-isolation will just be par for the course as long as the virus is around.Last edited by S.R.; Mon Mar 23, 2020, 12:49 PM."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

The entire county of Canada has 1430 confirmed cases.
Certainly, Canada has been doing more testing than the U.S., relative to population size. More than 50,000 people have been tested for Covid-19 in Canada. Meanwhile, the COVID Tracking Project, a volunteer-run accounting of every coronavirus test administered in the U.S., was reporting a total of about 76,000 tests on Wednesday evening, for a population 10 times the size of Canada's.

It was taken down because it turned out to be highly inaccurate. Good move by Medium. There’s way too much bs out there still about this not being serious. Trump is already talking about ending the isolation measures in 2 weeks down there to restart the economy. Madness.
And, of course, things will have to be re-opened in short order. This cannot go on much longer. We needed this pause to get our health care systems ready and prevent them being overrun and the resultant chaos. Now that we have saved the health bureaucrats and the policy makers from their own incompetence, foolishness and complacency, our leaders (in whatever country) need to be compensating us for their lack of preparedness and their taking of our livelihoods and they also need to be ready to go with an exit strategy. An indefinite suspension of life is neither feasible nor desirable.

14% of closed cases have been deaths ... up from like 6% only just over a week ago.

Not to mention 30,000 cases worldwide over added each of the last 4 days.
Anyone who isn't taking this seriously is exactly who Darwin was talking about.

There are probably hundreds of thousands of people worldwide contracting it, not knowing it, recovering from it, developing a natural immunity for the strain they caught, and moving on with life. That number will stay hidden though.
That testing data would be help governments measure/plan the response. Can't test everyone though, so the approach now is "I don't care if it's a fly or a rhino in front of that wall. Because I don't know, I'm bringing in the bazooka to take it down along with the wall too"
