Check out zerohedge article. It looks like your spot on your model.

 Quoting: gebahie



Diamond Princess ship was a real eye opener, but it is not a sample that can be extrapolated to a model.

However, it can be applied to cluster outbreaks, such as the church cluster in Daegu, South Korea.

I expect 200+ cases in Daegu church alone to be confirmed by the end of the week (February 23rd), with dozens more that are indirectly related to the church.


South Korea should have around 300 confirmed cases by week's end.


If this is the case, expect all future clusters to follow a 20-25% infection rate.
 Quoting: deplorable recollector




South Korea confirmed 142 new cases today, February 22nd.

It is MUCH MORE than I expected.

And they have one more report later on.


I am waiting to see how the situation will evolve in Italy, since every country have its own epidemic regulations.

It might be possible that South Korea to have more than 1 super-spreader, or, this virus is an absolute beast, with an R0 over 6.
If Italy proceeds in same parameters as South Korea, with around 45 new cases today and around 100 new cases tomorrow...it is really bad news.


The probability of multiple super-spreaders in both South Korea and Italy is minuscule, which means that the R0 is over 6, and the infected people are NOT super-spreaders...it's just that this virus is highly, highly contagious.
 Quoting: deplorable recollector


I agree with your last assessment. I am not fully buying into the idea of a super-spreader. I think the virus is a beast all on its own.

Perhaps the OP is in a bad mood today?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13358554


We are all grumpy.

What type of doom we get will probably vary contingent upon which country we live in.

At a minimum, there will be economic, and supply chain doom, along with many sick and/or dead. Economic doom may continue for 18 months or so.

I doubt we lose electricity, but rationing, or rolling brownouts are certainly possible. Most public water gets chlorine from -- you got it -- China. So, expect boil orders.

If you live in a second word nation, it may be worse if urban, a little less worse if you are rural. If you are third world? Gird your loins, this is gonna be ugly. Overall, I think rural people will weather this better than squished together urbanites.

The above is my opinion. I can back it with nothing but an analysis of observing humans my entire life.

Just had a frightening thought.

In a battle with myself regarding stocking up.
Is it now or wait or get more supplies?

Could the credit card companies suspend all transactions if this things blows up worldwide?
 Quoting: 3927

Not only the credit card companies, but the banks themselves will close their doors, and even those who have money will not be able to use it.

Thank you for the permapin.


Will remove all post that are off-topic.


Will try to keep the updates at minimum, focusing on the importance / gravity, and not jump over board whenever some new case pop-up somewhere, or some twitter dude announces some shit.


South Korea, Japan and Italy are my main focus now. Iran is a bit on the sideline, but still an important factor for my model, even if their numbers are clearly under reported.


Japan is obviously still not testing en-masse, but I expect this to change in the next 48-72 hours.

South Korea aggressive testing shows the size of this pandemic, which is frightening.

I hope Italy to follow on South Korea, and start testing as aggressively.


We need as much information as we can have, and even if it sounds sadistic...I hope there will be critical cases AS SOON AS POSSIBLE in other countries, so they also start testing.


The faster this happens, the better the containment will be, even if it's going to be limited.

Anything that can slow down this virus is a plus. Anything. Even asking people to self isolate.


But without serious cases...there will be no testing, hence, no quarantines. And time is against us.

Well, let me put it this way. In today's world, information is instant. We live in a society that is prone to panic more then any other time in the past.


What happened in the past 30 years or so, we watched live wars on TVs...wars that were FAR from our homes.
We watched terror attacks. And for 99% of us, those were far away.

We got into a state of mind that things are bad...but they are always far away from us, and we can have a drink and watch them unfold on our TV and computer screens.


This is a different beast. It's a pandemic, and it will hit home for most of us.

There are a number of things that I am 100% sure that WILL happen in the near future. I cannot give a time line, but I believe that March 5-6 is SHTF time.

I know that the economic impact will be devastating, which will trigger mass unemployment and skyrocketing prices...which will trigger social unrest.

I don't know WHEN it will happen, but it is going to be soon.

What I do not know, and it might accelerate the SHTF, is PANIC.
I expect panic all over the world, but it highly depends on WHERE it will happen.


For example, an uncontrolled panic in Milan, Italy, following a lock-down will absolutely be more impactful then a panic in Qom, Iran.

Europeans and Americans won't blink an eye, if there is a panic buying in Qom....but if it's Milan, a major European city, they will give a fuck.


A panic buying in Milan can trigger a panic buying in MANY European cities. It will be a chain reaction that will NOT exist if the panic buying is taking place in Qom, or some city in Thailand or Cambodia.

This is a factor that can accelerate EVERYTHING : the panic, the bank closures, the economic collapse, way earlier then expected.


The economy will collapse, 100%.
There will be worldwide panic, 100%.
The pandemic will hit all countries, 100%.
There will be lock-downs, 100%.
There will be quarantines, 100%.
There will be martial law in MANY countries, 100%.



I just don't know when exactly, where exactly, and how bad it will get.


But I do know that if lock-downs won't start in the next 72 hours, in many major cities...SHTF is going to be biblical, potentially destroying the social fabric in a way that will take DECADES to recover.

Sadly, no country will lock-down the major cities BEFORE is too late, and every day that passes, is leading to the worst-case scenario.


The time to prepare is extremely short. Between 3 and 7 days, depending on the country exposure to tourism.



We are heading to a historical change. World will drastically change, in the next 2-3 weeks, and the best case-scenario is still an absolute economic nightmare, martial laws all over the world, with a pandemic that will make the Spanish Flu look like "good days".

And this is the best-case scenario, but we are heading to the worst-case scenario, with every day that passes, planes still flying, people still gathering at festivals, sport events, etc.


My best advice is for everyone to prepare for a deep economic recession, with high unemployment and high prices...because it is the only scenario that we can prepare for.

The other scenario, it doesn't really matter how prepared you are. It will matter how skilled you are at surviving, because the world will be a very nasty place.


Think Mad Max. Or The Road.

The burden of proof is on the person making the assertion, not on the person questioning it. I don't know of anyone that has stated that a white person (american or otherwise) has died of this virus.

On the other hand, there are numerous posters stating that there are no white fatalities. Consequently, the onus is upon those posters to prove their assertion, not upon the rest of us to disprove it.

Doing so will be difficult as the race/ethnicitity/nationality of all reported deaths has not yet been released. There may not be any white fatalities, but, right now, we cannot possibly know anything like that for certain.
 Quoting: Knightshade


Except that the Iranians are technically white. They are Aryan and Caucasians...so, white, as far as DNA genome goes.
 Quoting: deplorable recollector


I understand, but (and I may have missed this) I don't recall that the dead Iranians were identified beyond "Iranian nationals". I don't hold this opinion, but they could have been of immigrant stock.

Either way, my point stands: the onus is on the posters claiming "no white deaths" to prove their assertion.

On another note, thanks for this thread. It was your model that caused me to start tracking this topic.
 Quoting: Knightshade


I don't see the people who assume that this virus kills a certain genome group as smart people. Or at least informed people.

Yes, the ones claiming this crap have the burden of proof.

Even if we assume that a virus targeting a certain genome group can be made, the problem is that viruses mutate. And they do it many times over a short period of time.

This is a 100% FACT.

And the moment a virus mutates, his original design is lost : that virus will affect and kill anyone, regardless of the genome type.

Not to mention that in the last 150 years, the races mixed to such an extent, it is basically impossible to find an Asian-only or Caucasian-only genome type, "pure" enough to design a virus.

Talked to an Iranian friend, he said they were Iranian. He said there are no chinese in Iran. FYI, even DNA tests just guess. If you go to the 90% accurate test it just says "european descent." There ARE more ACE2 receptors in Asians and in men, so I think they MAY be a bit more likely to catch it all things being equal, but basically we're all screwed if an infected comes near us.

For someone like you, who is absolutely clueless, sure it sounds like it's impossible for the world to just go to shit.

This bug will be like putting a penny on the first square of a checkerboard, then doubling that penny on each of the succeeding squares. Below is the figure.

There are 8 x 8 = 64 squares on a chessboard, so here we have the equivalent of doubling pennies for 64 squares, 2^64 - 1 = 18,446,744,073,709,551,615

Now, replace the pennies with infected people, and the squares of the checkerboard with days. It's not good.

The pandemic will hit all countries, 100%.
There will be lock-downs, 100%.
There will be quarantines, 100%.
There will be martial law in MANY countries, 100%.



I just don't know when exactly, where exactly, and how bad it will get.


But I do know that if lock-downs won't start in the next 72 hours, in many major cities...SHTF is going to be biblical, potentially destroying the social fabric in a way that will take DECADES to recover.

Sadly, no country will lock-down the major cities BEFORE is too late, and every day that passes, is leading to the worst-case scenario.


The time to prepare is extremely short. Between 3 and 7 days, depending on the country exposure to tourism.



We are heading to a historical change. World will drastically change, in the next 2-3 weeks, and the best case-scenario is still an absolute economic nightmare, martial laws all over the world, with a pandemic that will make the Spanish Flu look like "good days".

And this is the best-case scenario, but we are heading to the worst-case scenario, with every day that passes, planes still flying, people still gathering at festivals, sport events, etc.


My best advice is for everyone to prepare for a deep economic recession, with high unemployment and high prices...because it is the only scenario that we can prepare for.

The other scenario, it doesn't really matter how prepared you are. It will matter how skilled you are at surviving, because the world will be a very nasty place.


Think Mad Max. Or The Road.

hi again, from Iowa, so lets say you have a friend with an important job for one of the acronyms, abc, etc... if the US was going too shit, why would that person buy a brand new mustang, it doesn't add up
 Quoting: 71cuda 78330135


1. Just because they work for an acronym, they may not have a "need to know". Unless they are at a top level, or working directly on this "project". They don't have the need.

2. Why shouldn't he?? If he knew it might be the last proverbial hurrah, and he will either be dead, or living in an economic meltdown, why not enjoy a car he finds special while he can?
 Quoting: Lady Jayne Smith


May have bought a brand new mustang for the same reason I just bought a brand new car - if the SHTF with respect to products and parts, I wanted to assure I would have a high probability of trouble-free transportation in the coming months and years - part of my SHTF plan - and if no SHTF, no loss since I was planning to do the same thing within the next 12 months.

Or, may have done it "carpe diem" wise given insight into what's coming . . .

Dear OP, I am rather confused as to how to read your numbers..


22nd : 2,048,000-2,560,000
Presenting symptoms : 179,200-224,000
Serious/critical cases (18%): 36,288.
N.America share (5%) : 102,400-128,000 infected
Presenting symptoms :8,960-11,200
Europe share (9%) : 184,000-230,000 infected
Presenting symptoms : 16,120-20,160


There are not 200,000ish people presenting symptoms being reported? In NA there are not 10,000ish people with symptoms being reported?

In europe there are barely 100 people presenting symptoms?

Can you elaborate so I can understand your information?

Except that the Iranians are technically white. They are Aryan and Caucasians...so, white, as far as DNA genome goes.
 Quoting: deplorable recollector


I understand, but (and I may have missed this) I don't recall that the dead Iranians were identified beyond "Iranian nationals". I don't hold this opinion, but they could have been of immigrant stock.

Either way, my point stands: the onus is on the posters claiming "no white deaths" to prove their assertion.

On another note, thanks for this thread. It was your model that caused me to start tracking this topic.
 Quoting: Knightshade


I don't see the people who assume that this virus kills a certain genome group as smart people. Or at least informed people.

Yes, the ones claiming this crap have the burden of proof.

Even if we assume that a virus targeting a certain genome group can be made, the problem is that viruses mutate. And they do it many times over a short period of time.

This is a 100% FACT.

And the moment a virus mutates, his original design is lost : that virus will affect and kill anyone, regardless of the genome type.

Not to mention that in the last 150 years, the races mixed to such an extent, it is basically impossible to find an Asian-only or Caucasian-only genome type, "pure" enough to design a virus.

It’s all correlated to the earwax gene.

While i do appreciate your math, the rest is speculation. Better to err on the side of caution for sure, but your declarations of total collapse with 100% certainty need to be taken with a grain (or bushel) of salt.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77363179


Mathematical trend analysis is easy to understand, the problem is to know what questions to build you analysis on. OP has done a great job of graphing his analysis. He has done a great job of explaining what it means, and if you don't like the answers he gives to everyone asking extraneous questions well they are his own opinion.

The symptoms are similar with flu.

Nobody is testing anyone for CV-19 unless it's been to China or had a direct contact with a positive case of CV-19.


Look at South Korea. They had 31 cases 4 days ago. They now have 433.

Why?

Simple : because they started testing EVERYONE and their cat for CV-19, realizing that China and WHO lied their asses off.

Same with Italy. They had FOUR cases 2 days ago. Now they have 62. Because they started to test everyone they could.


There are 200k + people in Europe infected, with 16-20k presenting symptoms. I think you need to RE-READ what I wrote.

And almost 85% of those with symptoms are having MILD ones.

You got left with like 2,700 serious cases on a continent with almost 750 MILLION people. Not even ONE per hospital.

But this will change, rapidly.


You will see it in the next days.
