Some quotes regarding Wolfgang Wodarg and covid19: "A pulmonologist named Wolfgang Wodarg draws attention to himself in the media with his opinion and unproven theses about the corona virus. He argues that the virus is being scared. But he relativizes scientific knowledge and mixes facts with conjectures." "Wodarg's claims largely contradicted the verifiable facts; some of his statements were neither verifiable nor falsifiable; and because the facts Wodarg presented had nothing to do with each other, his statements had proved to be misleading." “Wodarg’s statements are grossly negligent. He ignores known facts and undermines the acceptance of necessary protective measures." "Many aspects that Wolfgang Wodarg addresses in his videos cannot be checked. On some topics he only expresses his opinion, on others he formulates unproven theses, sometimes he mixes facts and assumptions and thus sows doubt." world-today-news.com/facts-check-wolfgang-wodarg-spreads-theses-that-ignore-important-facts-politics/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Wodarg

One And Only tests per capita is only relevant if you’re talking about countries with mass community spread. Vietnam leads, by far, in tests per positive case.

[@adamstarkey7660]

Hi Dr Campbell - I had one thought about the comparisons between findings in the UK and New York regarding the Asian fatality rate (around the 21 minute mark) and a possible clash between UK and US definitions. In the UK we tend to refer to asian ethnicity as being from more middle-east areas, whereas in the US they tend to refer to far eastern origins (China, Japan, Korea etc.) as Asian. Given that here in the UK we have a much larger % of people from middle-eastern descent when compared to the US, could it be that people of middle-eastern origin have been categorised as 'other' in the US data? This would more closely reflect the findings in the UK with higher mortality rate in our Asian (middle-eastern) population but not so in what we categorise as 'Chinese' ethnicity? This may also correlate more with the vitamin D deficiency/darker skin tone theory. Just an observation I thought might be worth sharing. Many thanks for all your work!

[@leechowning2712]

Here in the US, Middle Eastern is termed separate from Asian, yes.

[@conniestone6251]

Hmm indeed, but depending on your geographic 'context' (and it matters) then the health services may well be overwhelmed, and that is indeed the 'balancing act' that authorities are dealing with. It is both a moral and economic question - what is 'society', and what is 'a life worth'? Please don't reply as there is no ideal answer, and I certainly am not suggesting one. (Yes there are a whole bunch of issues from paying bills, mental health, health issues from other causes, the state of a country to pay its debts, companies going bust, but I repeat there is 'no ideal answer').

In Spain we have just got the first results of a still running study of seroprevalence among all Spaniards and the average figure is 5% with big differences among regions. For example 11% in Madrid and only 2% in the Canary islands. It's been a very strict and wide study with over 60.000 statistically selected people which represent accurately all the population. The second wave of the study starts next Monday May 18. So the heard inmunity is still very far to be reached and in general it can be said that even though the real cases are more or less 10 times the detected cases, they are fewer than some people thought it would be. For information about the study: www.redaccionmedica.com/secciones/sanidad-hoy/Coronavirus-espana-seroprevalencia-inmunidad-poblacion-contagios-8363

[@katiehettinger7857]

The same result in the US, lower numbers of people with antibodies than was hoped with between 2% and 12% out side of New York State. NYC's random sampling showed 20% of the population had RNA or antibodies. When you consider the death rate from less than a quarter of the city's population of 9 million how to work safely is a pressing question.

[@kickstarter9982]

That means a CFR of about 1,1% 😱

[@shaunpatrick8345]

I've recently seen data for Germany, the UK and now Spain. In each case, if you multiply the number of deaths by the distance each country is from herd immunity, the predictions of large numbers of deaths made in the early stages of the pandemic are pretty accurate.

Well those test are a few weeks ago. So those 11% in Madrid is probably closer to 20-30% now. So wouldn't worry to much about that

I suspect there was already community spread in London by early January. I returned to the USA on January 15, after spending 2 weeks in Canary Wharf, which is a banking and international business center in east London, with many world travelers. Over the next 14 days, I had a persistent cough and a brief fever and teeth chattering chills that felt different from the usual run of winter colds. I’ve been waiting for a reliable antibody test, but now Roche Diagnostics has one available in the US that seems to have good validation data with high specificity and sensitivity. I hope to take the test soon that will either confirm my suspicion, or show that I have just been projecting.

How are they calculating this R0 figure? The same question was asked a few days ago during the daily Governmental press conference, a straight forward answer was not forthcoming.

[@HotelPapa100]

Because the math is not simple. Doubling time definitely goes into it, but so does incubation time and the time during which you are infectious. Doubling time you can get from statistics, but you have to make some assumptions about the other numbers. At the heart of it it is just a logarithm, but with some fuzzy factors going into it.

[@SoulOnTopJB]

@@HotelPapa100 Not really any the wiser. An R-nought figure of 0.8 vs 0.5 is significant, I just would like to know how this figure is being derived.

The percentage of people who died of covid-19 who had hypertension needs to be compared to the percentage of people who have hypertension in the demographic that, ignoring hypertension, tends to die of covid-19. So about 55% of people who died also have hypertension. But if 55% of people in that whole demographic, even if they survived, has hypertension, then it doesn't mean anything. It would be like saying that 70% of people who died of covid-19 had hair loss. It doesn't mean that Rogaine will help you survive covid.

Dr. John, I would be interested in your thoughts about the huge differences in fatalities between New York state and Florida. Florida has a huge retirement population, many from coming there after retirement from NY and other northern states, yet fewer deaths. Florida closed schools much later and is reopening much sooner, but by all accounts was stricter about locking down old people. Their population is 21.3 million vs NY population 19.8 million. There are other things to consider. There is no tube/subway /metro system in Florida, the water table is too high for underground transportation. In NYC the tube/subway system was never shut down. Both are very diverse genetically. Thanks, stay safe.

[@mamoyoT]

Florida has sunshine. They have more Vit D

[@katiehettinger7857]

In Florida you use to be able asked the coroner's office for death information and the would supply the numbers. A month ago that information became unavailable.

[@jgranger3532]

@Lost Hero: Actually Florida's death rate is lower, they blocked off whole retirement communities, with cops. They seem to have focused their efforts on old people, more than any other state. They have less public transportation too, weather may be a factor. They have a large aging population but a high Hispanic population that is younger than the US average. The difference in death rate has little to do with the Governor's party in either state and more to do with the health advice that policymakers give the governors. We can't assume both governors got the same advice from different state health officials, when there are even disagreements between US federal agencies. Different countries handle things differently. Sweden didn't lockdown but isolated old people, next door Norway locked down like NY . These two nations are the most alike in weather, genetics. Medical people are watching these nations closely to see who was right, we don't know yet. To get a death certificate and be accurate for COVID 19 you need a positive test, and have evidence of viral pneumonia, or stroke, blood clots.

Regarding percentage of deaths in NY, I think those numbers will change depending on how the symptoms are treated as we are learning more about the disease every day and discovering better treatments for those manifestations.

This should aid our tourism, hopefully in time for our July/October ski season. I also think there will be increased demand for NZ produce as having originated in a Covid-19 free environment. I've been out to a large hardware store this morning and all I see is everything back to business-as-usual. Plenty of traffic signifies a return to normal life is underway.
