113,000 people have recovered from the coronavirus, the media should be sharing this, not just the death toll, but I guess this news is not sensational enough.
I've found the most up to date dashboard is maintained by Johns Hopkins...
The Hopkins site and others using most recently reported numbers is really like looking in a rear view mirror for many reasons - an important one being lag between infection and reported end point (diagnosis or death). Doubling rate in the US has been on the order of 2-3 days so anything that causes a lag is significant.
It is very hard to predict, especially the future, but the Covid-19 site from UWashington Medicine has gotten a lot of attention and does a good job of showing projections for the US and individual states in easily understandable formats. The numbers shown reflect projections IF all social distancing listed are met. The numbers go up markedly if they are not. Prijections have been updated daily.
The Kinsa thermometer site has also drawn attention as an interesting possibility for seeing how things are heading in a given area (providing they have enough thermometers in that area...).
These recommended sites (Hopkins, AEI) contain sobering information that is not yet being promulgated to the general public. For some like us, physical distancing appears to be the new normal and travel seems out of the question for a long time to come.
The AEI approach has not been adopted, but the diferent phases seem like the reasonable way to proceed, without going backwards on containment. Getting to Phase III, and back to a somewhat normal existence, reguire therapeutics and vaccine. My question has always been: What assurances/protections would I feel necessary to get on a plane and travel to another country?
Perhaps only knowledge that you have developed immunity would be sufficient....
the UK is developing a test that anyone can buy on amazon UK to test to see if you have antibodies to the coronavirus. They are speeding up the approval process so it should be available soon. It is not a test for coronavirus, just a test to see if you have had the virus and now have antibodies against it. They believe that if you test positive for the antibodies, then you may have had the virus and did not know it. The Uk believes this test will help expedite the workers going back to work.
