Further, we are recommending that employees returning from travel to impacted areas in China – including Chibi, Ezhou, Huanggang, Lichuan, and Wuhan (all Hubei province) – work with their manager and HRBP to coordinate work-from-home arrangements for at least 14 days, and seek medical attention prior to returning to the office if you are experiencing symptoms. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 43196947 Yes. I heard it spreads more easily in warmer climates so if this becomes a world wide pandemic it will hit warmer climates harder than colder climates like Canada, Northern Europe and Northern Asia. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 74752921 United States 01/28/2020 03:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | From the beginning, I want to specify that my model is only for the infection rate. Not death rate, and not confirmed cases by the authorities and governments. It is a mathematical model, based on 4 separate patterns : Quoting: deplorable recollector -Chinese official number -The commonly accepted R0 of 2.6 among many epidemiologists -The Spanish Flu R0 of 1.8 -The weaponized virus R0 > 5 Starting from January 16th, all the patterns, except the one based on an Ro of 2.6 failed to apply. The R0 = 2.6 pattern still stands, for China. However, considering that China is still allowing free travel among all provinces except Tibet (least populated and most isolated one) and Hubei (the epicenter of the pandemic), the R0 will jump over 3 by Sunday, February 2nd. For the developed countries, with better hygiene, long history of flu (herd immunization) and high quality medical system, the R0 was skewed (for the time being) to 2.2. If the developed countries will not stop ALL travel by Sunday, Feb. 2nd, the R0 will jump to 2.6. Everyone can do their own math, applying an R0 = 2.2, for the develop countries, 2.4 for Asian countries and 2.6 for China, while adjusting the index for infection spread chance to 0.7-0.8. As an example 10 x 2.2 x 0.7, for developed countries and 10 x 2.2 x 0.8 for SE Asia, South and Central America and Africa. For those that don't want to do that, here is the infection spread, worldwide (except China mainland), starting with today, January 28th, with all the numbers adjusted : January 28th 00:00 GMT : Between 3,000 and 4,000 infected people, in different stages of incubation (1 to 14 days). Presenting symptoms : 37-38 cases. January 29th, 00:00 GMT : Between 5,200 and 7,000 infected people, in different stages of incubation (1 to 14 days). Presenting symptoms : 67-69 cases. January 30th, 00:00 GMT : Between 8,000 and 12,000 infected people, in different stages of incubation (1 to 14 days). Presenting symptoms : 103-106 cases. January 31st, 00:00 GMT : 12,300 - 20,100 infected people, in different stages of incubation (1 to 14 days). Presenting symptoms : 158 - 168 cases. February 1st, 00:00 GMT : 18,900 - 30,900 infected people, in different stages of incubation (1 to 14 days). Presenting symptoms : 243 - 258 February 2nd, 00:00 GMT : 29,100 - 47,500 infected people, in different stages of incubation (1 to 14 days). Presenting symptoms : 374 - 397. If by this date, the traveling between all countries is not stopped, and borders are not closed, the epidemic will accelerate.These are the numbers : February 3rd, 00:00 GMT : 48,000 - 78,000 infected people, in different stages of incubation (1 to 14 days). Presenting symptoms : 617 - 655 February 4th, 00:00 GMT : 79,200 - 128,700 infected people, in different stages of incubation (1 to 14 days). Presenting symptoms : 1,018 - 1,080. If by this date, the traveling between all countries is not stopped, and borders are not closed, the epidemic will accelerate.These are the numbers : February 5th, 00:00 GMT : 139,000 - 226,500 infected people, in different stages of incubation (1 to 14 days). Presenting symptoms : 1,790 - 1,900. From this date on, the pandemic no longer can be contained, without full quarantine, at least for all major cities across the world. This will come with total economic collapse and the panic that will be widespread. The huge difference between the number of infected in my model, is because most populated countries are also underdeveloped, and the virus will affect much more people in India and SE Asia. If full or at last partial quarantine is not implemented by February 5th, in major cities across the world, the pandemic will spread as follow (adjusted for higher R0 and higher index for infection spread chance), with the mention that the numbers will be the median ones : Feb 6th :345,000 infected with 3,600 presenting symptoms Feb 7th :690,000 infected with 7,500 presenting symptoms Feb 8th : 1,435,000 / 15,600 Feb 9th : 2,980,000 / 27,456 Feb 10th: 6,240,000 / 57,100 Feb 11th: 12,979,000 / 118,100 Feb 12th: 27,990,000 / 245,600 Feb 13th: 58,220,000 / 509,600 Feb 14th:121,970,000 /1,060,000 Feb 15th:253,697,000 /2,204,800 From February 16th, multiple health systems across the world will collapse.Hospitals will be overcrowded and unable to test and treat most of the patients.The social fabric will completely collapse, and the governments, if they delayed the quarantines, will have no other choice but to lock-down hundreds of millions of people in major and large to medium cities, with hundreds of millions more self-isolating in smaller cities, towns and villages. There might be slight variations in my model, if some countries implement some travel restrictions here and there, some quarantines here and there...but anything except total quarantine is not going to work, but only delay the infection by mere DAYS. I am going to end with what matters the most, for my model to HOPEFULLY fail : FULL INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL MUST STOP BY FEB.3RD. FULL LOCAL TRAVEL IN AFFECTED COUNTRIES MUST STOP BY FEB. 5TH. If the above measures are not taking place, the pandemic will be catastrophic. Do you believe in flat earth theory? If true, as numerous of your karma comments suggest, then thank you for sharing your figures, which I must now take with an ENORMOUS grain of salt. |

(OP) User ID: 73110508 United Kingdom 01/28/2020 03:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't think you can develop any predictions based off the phony numbers that the Chinese authorities have given because the numbers are obviously very low. No one quarantines a city of a 11 million people for 26 deaths. There are more deaths from the flu and cities are not quarantined for that. The Chinese authorities obviously know what this virus is and where it comes from and roughly how many people are being infected and dying. Obviously there will be people who are not counted among the dead and infected because they don't go to a hospital with it and instead stay home or they don't know they have it yet. Quoting: 2hot2handle My model started with 4 patterns. 3 of them, including the one based on Chinese official figure failed to apply. In other words, the current model is left with a single pattern that applied every day since January 17th...and it is NOT the one based on the Chinese numbers. That pattern and the weaponized pattern failed on January 24th, while the Spanish Flu pattern failed first, on January 21st. The remaining pattern still holds, and it is based on an adjusted R0 = 2.6 (with 0.7 and 0.8 variable index for infection chance, depending on the pandemic stage, which is incipient atm outside China), for countries outside China. Any attempt to making a model starts with many variables, until only one is left standing. |

For South East Asia, the R0 is 2.6 in the incipient stage, and 3 in the mid stage of the pandemic. After that, it won't matter how big the R0 is, the society will be collapsed anyway, and nobody will give a fuck about it. true on the it wont matter part. we are screwed I can feel it in my bones. Oh yeah, we are. Big time. This is why I bolded what it must be done to limit and eventually stop the pandemic...but we all know that they won't do it, until way too fucking late. I also didn't bothered on death rate, because it is irrelevant. The social collapse will kill many more people than the virus will. If this virus actually does go apocolyptic you won't want to still live in what will be left over. It will be way beyond anything you saw in the Mad Max movies. Nobody is mentioning (that I have seen) anything about all the death and dying of all pets and social animals. They are going to die too. Even if you actually survive the virus attack itself...your body may be left over so damaged that you still couldn't live or survive in a collapsed society. God help us all. You are going to see the rise in cannibalism as the food supply chain collapses and food isn't even grown or coming out of the field. God help us. Surely two things are also soon to happen. The anti-christ will come on the scene. A rapture will occur. Jesus will return. This planet and all living things on it cannot survive an total extinsion event. |

Presenting symptoms : 37-38 cases.) There is a lot of increasingly validated information out there demonstrating that there are 45,000 to as many as 140,000 infected people as of today. All due to intentional under-reporting or due to inability to diagnose actual cases (lack of supplies, staff, IT...). Considering this, your scenario could be way too conservative. I think you missed the part where my model is not for China. The information you are talking about is for China. I DID miss that, thanks. What's the math INSIDE China? 690,000 infected. The Chinese should report 8,099 confirmed cases today, give it a 1-2% error. So, a jump from 4,500 yesterday to 8,100 today. I have a hard time believing China will report that high of a number (regardless that I agree your true number is correct). |

Presenting symptoms : 243 - 258 February 2nd, 00:00 GMT : 29,100 - 47,500 infected people, in different stages of incubation (1 to 14 days). Presenting symptoms : 374 - 397. If by this date, the traveling between all countries is not stopped, and borders are not closed, the epidemic will accelerate.These are the numbers : February 3rd, 00:00 GMT : 48,000 - 78,000 infected people, in different stages of incubation (1 to 14 days). Presenting symptoms : 617 - 655 February 4th, 00:00 GMT : 79,200 - 128,700 infected people, in different stages of incubation (1 to 14 days). Presenting symptoms : 1,018 - 1,080. If by this date, the traveling between all countries is not stopped, and borders are not closed, the epidemic will accelerate.These are the numbers : February 5th, 00:00 GMT : 139,000 - 226,500 infected people, in different stages of incubation (1 to 14 days). Presenting symptoms : 1,790 - 1,900. From this date on, the pandemic no longer can be contained, without full quarantine, at least for all major cities across the world. This will come with total economic collapse and the panic that will be widespread. The huge difference between the number of infected in my model, is because most populated countries are also underdeveloped, and the virus will affect much more people in India and SE Asia. If full or at last partial quarantine is not implemented by February 5th, in major cities across the world, the pandemic will spread as follow (adjusted for higher R0 and higher index for infection spread chance), with the mention that the numbers will be the median ones : Feb 6th :345,000 infected with 3,600 presenting symptoms Feb 7th :690,000 infected with 7,500 presenting symptoms Feb 8th : 1,435,000 / 15,600 Feb 9th : 2,980,000 / 27,456 Feb 10th: 6,240,000 / 57,100 Feb 11th: 12,979,000 / 118,100 Feb 12th: 27,990,000 / 245,600 Feb 13th: 58,220,000 / 509,600 Feb 14th:121,970,000 /1,060,000 Feb 15th:253,697,000 /2,204,800 From February 16th, multiple health systems across the world will collapse.Hospitals will be overcrowded and unable to test and treat most of the patients.The social fabric will completely collapse, and the governments, if they delayed the quarantines, will have no other choice but to lock-down hundreds of millions of people in major and large to medium cities, with hundreds of millions more self-isolating in smaller cities, towns and villages. There might be slight variations in my model, if some countries implement some travel restrictions here and there, some quarantines here and there...but anything except total quarantine is not going to work, but only delay the infection by mere DAYS. I am going to end with what matters the most, for my model to HOPEFULLY fail : FULL INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL MUST STOP BY FEB.3RD. FULL LOCAL TRAVEL IN AFFECTED COUNTRIES MUST STOP BY FEB. 5TH. If the above measures are not taking place, the pandemic will be catastrophic. this sounds legit; question what are your credentials; would like to share this out more widely but won't be taken serious by non-GLPers without credentials. |
