Well, well. NOBODY thought The WESTERDAM CRUISE SHIP had any infected people aboard, but NHK TV Japan news Just announced that after 5 nations refused entry AND CAMBODIA LET IT DOCK AND DISEMBARK PASSENGERS, that they just found one elderly lady DOES HAVE COV 19 with symptoms. I wonder where the other passengers went?

Hawaii health officials were working swiftly over the weekend to find anyone who might have had contact with the Japanese couple, who had also visited the island of Maui. Health authorities said the couple, both in their 60s, was not diagnosed until they returned to Japan, but the husband began showing symptoms while still staying in one of Hawaii’s most popular tourist neighborhoods.

But at least one local resident said he believed that he had spent time with the Japanese man who was later confirmed with the virus. The resident, John Fujiwara, 52, said the friend that he had visited with for about half an hour on Feb. 4 had the same travel itinerary as the man described by state health officials; he also lives in the same city and is also in his 60s. Mr. Fujiwara said he had not been able to reach his friend since he left Hawaii on Feb. 7.
The man seemed healthy, if a bit tired, when they had met to drink coffee, catch up and exchange chocolates as gifts, Mr. Fujiwara said. The man had spent that morning shopping in Chinatown, and had told him that he planned to attend a Japanese language event at a local grocery store immediately after their visit.
Mr. Fujiwara said that he had reached out to state health officials, and had offered to isolate himself after reading a report about the man in The Honolulu Star-Advertiser.
In an email he shared with The New York Times, a disease intervention specialist with the Hawaii Department of Health did not confirm that Mr. Fujiwara’s friend was the one who had been diagnosed, but told him that he should contact the department if he had any symptoms before Tuesday, which would be two weeks after he saw his friend — the maximum incubation period for coronavirus.
"I plan to go to dinner with my girlfriend tonight, unless things change, specifically because I have it in writing from the State of Hawaii Department of Health to continue my daily routine," Mr. Fujiwara said.

Janice Okubo, a spokeswoman for the Hawaii Department of Health, said that the man who was confirmed with the virus "is not believed to have had any prolonged, close contact with Hawaii residents," but that health officials were continuing to investigate.
Dr. Sarah Park, the state epidemiologist, said the man had most likely been exposed to the virus before leaving Japan or while traveling to Hawaii. He and his wife, who was also confirmed on Saturday with the virus but did not show symptoms while in Hawaii, arrived on Maui on Jan. 28. The man was also symptom-free in Maui, but after the couple moved to Honolulu, on Oahu, on Feb. 3, he began showing signs of a cold.

Aubree Gordon, an associate professor of epidemiology at the University of Michigan, said she agreed with Hawaiian health officials that people who had traveled with the man were at greatest risk, though anyone who touched surfaces shortly after he did - such as a faucet or toilet handle - could also be at risk.
"I think we’re going to have a lot of cases like this popping up, where people come into a place and get diagnosed there, or leave and we find out after the fact that they’re sick," Professor Gordon said.

This makes so much sense. I wondered why people were calculating death rate based on the total number of cases, when they’re adding several thousand new cases per day. That wouldn’t be accurate, because all the new cases from the past week or two haven’t even run their full course yet.

I wonder if, during the last week of January, HAWAII had any, taxi drivers, hotel workers or other tourists infected people who had not yet been sick enough to seek treatment. It is a favorite vacation spot for Asians to vacation, and my daughter and her hubby spent the last week of January there!

What say? Anyone think it was a bad idea?
It’s been 14 days though, so they’re probably fine, but they wouldn’t tell me if they were sick because I warned them not to go.

And most families lost a number of children to it, and almost all adults in Europe at one point had hideous scars on their faces and other extremities - people don't realize this because painters avoided showing them and heavy makeup was popular among the upper classes (because of the scaring).

Adults could also catch it and nearly die/be disabled - Queen Elizabeth the First almost died from it when still quite young, and of course, it (along with measles) may have killed up to 90 percent of everyone in North America (Native Americans).

Ontario couple have recovered but are still testing positive for coronavirus
By Rob Ferguson Queen's Park Bureau
Thu., Feb. 13, 2020

Ontario’s first two cases of the new coronavirus — a husband and wife — have recovered but remain in isolation at their home because tests still show them carrying the bug, authorities say.

Nose and throat swabs taken since the man was released from Sunnybrook hospital two weeks ago continue to show traces of coronavirus in both him and his wife, who was never hospitalized.

Public health officials are trying to decipher what that indicates as scientists in China and around the world work to pinpoint more traits of the virus, which has never before been seen in humans.

“There is some genetic material or viral material left in the individual specimens,” Dr. Vanessa Allen of Public Health Ontario said Thursday.

“We don’t know that means, whether that’s live or dead virus,” Allen said. “There’s some component of virus in those specimens and the criteria that have been laid out are being followed, that we required two negative specimens until we understand more about what that means.”

Those tests must be taken at least 24 hours apart.

Ontario’s chief medical officer of health said the apparent stubbornness of the coronavirus in the Toronto-area couple, who returned from China Jan. 22 aboard a China Southern Airlines flight, may be due to their age.

The man is in his 50s and has some other health conditions that could impair his ability to shed the virus, Dr. David Williams told a news conference at Queen’s Park.

“Younger people tend to have a shorter course and throw it off much quicker,” Williams said.

That is apparent in the case of Ontario’s third case of the new coronavirus, a Western University student in her 20s who returned Jan. 23 from visiting her sick parents in the outbreak’s epicentre of Wuhan. She recovered within three days and was cleared Wednesday.

Allen said Ontario’s testing process for the bug, now named COVID-19 by the World Health Organization, has now been accelerated.

Public health lab technicians in Ontario have begun using the same method as the federal lab in Winnipeg where previous cases have been sent for confirmation.

Negative tests in Ontario are no longer being shipped to Winnipeg, meaning cases can be ruled out within 24 hours of the swabs being taken instead of waiting another two or three days for a second test in Manitoba.

However, samples that test positive in Ontario are still being sent to Winnipeg for confirmation.

As of Thursday morning, Ontario had 15 cases under investigation and awaiting results. There have been no new confirmed cases in the last two weeks, despite the rising number of deaths and illnesses in China and to a lesser extent in other countries.

There are no more than 60,000 cases of the new coronavirus around the world, mostly in China.

Elsewhere in Canada, British Columbia has four cases.

Three people from Canada’s first repatriation flight from China have been tested for the novel coronavirus after showing symptoms of cough or fever at CFB Trenton but those tests have come back negative, Williams said.

Health Minister Christine Elliott said she is pleased that Ontario has not been hit harder by the coronavirus, although Williams noted authorities are staying vigilant.

“We are confident it is being contained,” Elliott said on the way into a cabinet meeting on Thursday.

“The system is working. People are doing their part and our medical professionals are doing what they need to do as well.”

Meaning Shanghai already found a new virus ( to be named #CoVid2019 later) on Jan.5 and suggested taking control measures at public places. However, the National Health Commission did nothing. #Wuhan was still organizing a grand banquet on Jan 18, in which 40 K families attended

The Covid19 death rate is much higher than 2%
The Covid19 death rate is much higher than 2%

I understand why Moldbug wanted to write a post on the coronavirus. As usual, Moldbug was ahead of the curve. The reason is that he reads sources that other people don’t read. If you read the same as everyone else, you think the same as everyone else. This is the main (respectable) reason I’m on twitter, (other than the shitposting which is like terrible cheap carbs of reading material). 95% of it is garbage, but the remaining 5% is stuff you just don’t find anywhere else.

And what Moldbug, and MorlockP, and Loki Julianus and some others have figured out is that there’s a decent chance that this is the start of the shit hitting the fan, but nobody in the west seems much concerned yet. It’s a fascinating insight into how people respond to gradually unfolding disaster. We expect disaster to strike out of the blue. One day, the Soviets nuke us, or an asteroid strikes. Or, failing that, we expect to see a fairly rapid and linear growth of things getting worse, like in a disaster movie where the plot has to unfold in a predictable manner to all be wrapped up in 90 minutes.

What our instincts don’t work well for, however, is exponential growth. It just doesn’t fit people’s casual intuitions about what’s going to happen. The probably mythical story about the inventor of chess is that he asked to be paid as a reward by the king in a grain of rice for the first square, two grains for the second square, four for the third square, and so on. Of course, the point of the story is that the king was an idiot and by the end figured out he couldn’t possible pay. Ha ha ha. Nobody would be that dumb.

Well, here’s some grains of rice accumulating.



If you take the number of coronavirus cases reported, it’s close to an exponential curve. Not quite, however. If you plot things on a log scale, you can see the rate of increase in reported cases slowing down.



By eyeballing the log scale graph, you can see that things started to decline starting around Jan 30th. If you run a regression of log number of cases on number of days since outbreak, from Jan 30th until February 13th, you get a coefficient on time of 0.126, or 12.6% growth per day. If you want to be conservative, and just use the February 5th – 11th data, excluding the big jump on February 12th when they changed reporting standards, you still get an average growth of 0.078, or 7.8% growth per day. The R2 of this regression is 0.98, by the way, so this is a shockingly good fit. If you use the whole period, you get a whopping 19.9% average growth per day. And even with the slowdown, the R2 is still over 0.92.

Since these are only rough data, because God knows how many unreported cases there are, suppose the number of cases is growing about 10% per day. There’s a rule of thumb for turning growth rates into doubling times called the rule of 72. Divide 72 by the growth rate and you get a decent estimate of the doubling time. So in this case, 72/10 = 7.2. In other words, on current trends we expect the number of cases to double every week. Even at the low rate of 7.8%, the number of cases is expected to double in around 9 days. We won’t use this rule exactly, but it’s pretty good for thinking about intuition.

And this causes all sorts of weird mistakes. One, which I think is underappreciated by most people, is wildly distorted estimates of the death rate.

The number that keeps getting currently quoted in the press is a death rate of around 2%. As of February 13th, there have been 1,384 deaths out of 64,473 cases, according to worldometer. This gives a death rate of 2.15%. Which sounds pretty encouraging. It seems like you have to get very unlucky to actually die from it.

But the strange thing is, there’s another, smaller set of people talking about a death rate of 16%. What’s that? Well, it’s the ratio of deaths (1,384) to closed cases (8,566), or 16.16%.

Now, you might look at it be concerned about the definition of closed cases. Maybe they’re just very reluctant to declare someone cured, so there’s lowball numbers here (whereas they’re less reluctant to declare someone dead). Many of the diagnosed will eventually recover, but it takes ages to classify them as healthy again. So no big deal! 16% is too high, and the true number will be much lower.

Well, here’s a pretty strong reason to prefer the ratio using closed cases. From the descriptions you read about the progression of cases in places like Hong Kong, the disease generally takes 2-3 weeks from diagnosis to actually kill you.

Why is this a big deal?

Because the number of cases is growing at around 8-10% a day. And as long as that holds, the number of deaths will always be lagging the total number of cases in the growth phase. The death rate actually ought to be compared with the number of cases from 2-3 weeks earlier, because that’s the number of people who could have reasonably died by this point. It’s also the expectation of the fraction of currently alive new cases who will eventually die. Again, this may seem like pedantry. Except that the number of cases is growing 8% per day!

Let’s start with lower bounds. Assume that average growth in cases is conservatively 7.8%. Also, let’s assume the disease kills you quickly, on average in two weeks (which is optimistic for the purposes of our estimated death rate being on the low side). In this case, the number of cases in the denominator is too high by a factor of e^(14*0.078) = 2.98. So the true death rate will end up being 2.15*2.98 = 6.42%

If it takes 2.5 weeks on average to kill you, the death rate will end up being 2.15* e^(17.5*0.078) = 8.43%.

But we’re using a pretty conservative estimate of growth rates. Suppose you take dates since February 5th, but include the increase in cases on Feb 12th and 13th. Then the average growth rate is 9.75%. Add a 2.5 week average time to death, and the death rate is actually 2.15*e^(17.5*0.0975) = 11.85%. If the disease takes three weeks on average to kill you, the true death rate is 16.67%. Which sounds very close to the death rate from closed cases. Add in growth rates from the earlier period, and the numbers get even higher.

Plug in your own assumptions or data fiddling, and the answers fall right out. There’s obviously big standard errors on this stuff. But one thing is pretty clear. There is more than enough evidence at this point, no matter how you cut it, that the overall death rate is going to be a lot higher than 2%. I’m betting on 5-10%. You ought to be making plans accordingly.

This doesn’t tell you about the rate of transmission, of course, either in China or the US. Maybe we’ll lucky, and it won’t turn into a pandemic outside China. Want to bet on that?

The good news from all this is that most people don’t care about China, haven’t read reports of any major outbreak in the US, and so aren’t really concerned. Which means that if you do think that there’s a non-trivial chance that the porridge may totally hit the propeller in a month or two, it’s still relatively easy to buy at least several months of storable food supplies. Amazon will still deliver them in a few days. Prices will be the same as normal. The guy delivering them has a very low chance of having the coronavirus. Maybe those things will still be true in three months. Maybe they won’t.

For the sake of a few hundred bucks, you’d be mad not to. You want to have a viable strategy in place to be able to not leave your house for an extended period of time. This is just basic finance. You want to hedge left tail outcomes, especially if the outcome is a catastrophe, and the cost of hedging it is very cheap. Surely everyone who understands finance is doing this, right?

Ha ha, no, of course they’re not. We’ve ignored the largest reason smart people don’t do this stuff. It’s unfashionable. It’s for loser, tin foil prepper types. Do you really want to be doing this stuff? Tell your friends you’ve started buying large quantities of canned food and you think they should too, and they’ll look at you like you’re a conspiracy theory loon. They’ll have a good laugh.

So did the King, when they were only up to the fourth chess square.

FWIW- I DISAGREE.

JMNSHO- I believe IT MATTERS, HOW BADLY EXPOSED TO THE VIRUS YOU ARE.

I am of the opinion that a person's immune system can often fight off a mild exposure and that the more careful you are to LIMIT THE VIRAL LOAD that you body has to fight off, the better chance you might have to survive or have only a mild case of corona virus disease.
