New COVID-19 Data/Essay (coming soon - tonight/tomorrow 7/29-7/30)

[mathguy]

Hey everyone, since there was some interest and PM's from people about this I wanted to let you know, or anyone interested, that I'm working on a small essay that is fully cited, reference linked, and has formal research data and appropriate statistical info along with a subset of resource links you will be able to use at your leisure.

I will possibly be finished with it tonight or tomorrow. It will be going up soon in this and possibly other COED sections.

It will give you a much better idea of the current climate of research data, genomic strain data, statistical models that ascertain IFR vs CFR, along with many links, images, and excerpts from a variety of leading epidemiologists, virologists, and biochemist's from around the world. One of the major pieces (but not even close to the only one) relevant to calculating IFR's is a MedRxiv preprint study which compiled nearly 50 global seroprevalence studies (prevalence of antibodies in blood serum) to gauge total population viral penetration and overall IFR for different age ranges.

I may also add a section to touch on the political polarization aspects but I want to refrain from too much of that as it's not a political piece and shouldn't go in this forum as such. There is however a decent postulate to consider about the current social media era and social viral phenoms which have lead to the situation we find ourselves in recently. I will certainly touch on that as well.

I was writing this piece for another oped that I do in another aspect of my life, but I will also post it here in a slightly modified form for anyone who wishes to read it. I just wanted to post an update b/c I know some have been expecting something on it. It's coming very soon. Tonight or tomorrow.

Can you simplify this for us lay or intelligent yet busy people ?! Thanks for taking the time to put your analysis together. I have found value in your posts and certainly appreciate your posts.

[mathguy]

Will do Nikki :) I'll modify it from it's complete form and reduce it where I can and simplify some areas. For sure I know when they get long if you're busy it can definitely be harder to absorb quickly. I will highlight areas of importance and you will be able to find sections you are most interested in easily with differing fonts and section headers.

Edit: And tyvm for the compliment Nik. Appreciate it :)

Much appreciated and very much looking forward to the essay as a whole. Thanks Nikki, for requesting the “busy” version, and thanks MG for being so accommodating! Appreciate the value you both bring to the table! Hugs and stay safe

Have you ever considered that well prepared pictures, diagram and charts are better than a "thousand words?'

JK--thanks for your efforts as I will wade through it for the multiple pearls of wisdom you drop. Have you ever heard of the concept of "Executive Summary" or "Summation Bullet Points?" Asking for a friend.

Thanks

Maybe you can add what you are safest scenario for us. For example, 69 seems safe. It’s like wearing a mask, but it’s someone’s genitals.

Thank you for sharing your research with us MG!

I needed this chuckle. It’s almost 4am. And I’m awaiting news from Mathguy instead of watching or reading anything COVID media related. *eats my raw garlic, in anticipation* Are ya gonna touch on the economy as it relates to the hobby? And when the fuck can we get back to some normalcy? The sophisticated szlut with no filter is ready for class! * raises her hand. I’ve got questions!! Btw, I wanna hear you talk NERDY to me! Ps, COVID... eat an unwashed dick! Sincerely, frustrated humans everywhere! Lol.

Will look forward to seeing it. As to the hobby, how can we safely play??? I know abstinence may be the best policy but its also the least desirable. And its driving me crazy

[mathguy]
