> 99% of cases in Italy have existing health problems, average age 79

Definitely no, unless you define the "cases" as "whatever my wish is to name the case to prove my own point now" and even then also fake the numbers.

Both the doctors on any location on Earth, including China, as well as World Health Organization define the cases differently and count completely other values: the "cases" are the actual big numbers we see in the news, and around 20% of people counted so actually are so bad that need to be in the hospital, in order to get the intervention if their sickness gets worse!

From all the cases recognized, many can't breathe, needing the intensive care units, and many die.

So even if not every country makes the same number of tests per capita, the speed of the growth of the cases of deaths can be compared.

Just an example of one country, the speed is everywhere consistent: The current count in Italy is 47021 cases, 4032 dead. The time the cases and dead double at the moment is still around every 3 days. Just 10 days ago Italy had 631 deaths, total (2020-03-10). Try yourself: 600 x 2 (that is, in 3 days) = 1200 ; 1200 x 2 (in next 3 days) = 2400.

Compare with the reported total numbers of deaths in Italy:

2020-03-09 463

2020-03-10 631
2020-03-13 (3 days later) 1266
2020-03-16 (3 days later) 2158
2020-03-19 (3 days later) 3405

2020-03-20 4032

Use the same principle on your local statistics, compare with other locations which have other policies and other beliefs: as long as the control of growth is not achieved, that is what happens, independently of the political views.

The government of Netherlands doesn't believe it should do much, in order not to hurt its economy. The speed of growth of deaths in the Netherlands is nevertheless comparable:

2020-03-14 12
2020-03-17 (3 days later) 43
2020-03-20 (3 days later) 106

Looks like a small number, doesn't it? Well, only 16 days ago, 2020-03-04 Italy had the current number of deaths the Netherlands has now. If the government of the Netherlands continues to act according to their political views (there's big pressure now on them), check their number in 16 days, it has to be close to the Italian number now. And Italian government didn't even produce their number intentionally: the first quarantines of areas in Italy started 2020-02-22.

That's how exponential growth behaves, and there is not any other known method to decrease the speed of the growth than trying to limit the transmission from person to person.

And not, it's not comparable to flu, here's a graph from Italy of deaths per week, already many days old (violet: dead per week from flu, red: dead per week from COVID-19):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Is_COVID-19_like_a_flu%3F...

The problem with not doing enough measures is that when that is held the result isn't anymore "just" the currently observed percents of deaths, and that starts to happen around the time the hospital capacities are overflown.

And we don't need allegories about "mother nature" or whatever -- the above is a real problem to which the world reacts.
Numbers vary a bit but looks like death rate of confirmed cases of covid 19 for 70-79 year olds is 8% and over 80 is something like 14%.

Flu varies by season but it’s no where near that for the same age group.

> want to fold an operator with short-circuiting behavior left-associatedly over a list

And then you'd find out that it doesn't work the way you hoped it would. foldl always traverses the whole list, because there is no way for it to see that arbitrarily nested applications of the operator would still return the absorbing first argument.

If you need short-circuiting and left-associated traversal, you have to implement an improved fold. Oleg did, and called it iteratee.

I was attempting to illustrate the absurdity of the past month and a half by performing a back-of-the-envelope calculation, not provide a detailed business plan for launching a biotech startup. FFS

I never claimed that bench space was a universal constant, nor that hiring personnel is effortless. Rather, I attempted to make it clear that from both scientific and logistical perspectives the barrier to effective testing is quite low.

The point of the instrument throughput calculation was to make it clear that instrument availability can't possibly be the limiting factor because a single low-end one that many academic labs already have on hand can facilitate an incredible number of tests each day. That's important because you can't depend on being able to procure new instrumentation in a timely manner during a crisis so any estimates ought to assume that you're stuck with whatever you already have.

We see reagent shortages reported in the news, but that can't possibly be the limiting factor either because (as far as I know) only common chemicals (plus primers and probes) are required. (Actually you could probably dispense with the probes if you were willing to run an awful lot of gels, but that would further complicate the pipeline and require more labor so better not.)

So then we might suppose that personnel and training is the bottleneck, but that can't be it either because the government has deep pockets and just about any practicing molecular biologist is over qualified to perform such a trivial procedure.

Looked at this way, it should be abundantly clear that US policy is entirely to blame.

I also never said to use scraps of paper in lieu of proper record keeping. The obvious interpretation of what I wrote is to go line by line in a lab notebook, which is something I have in fact done before (obviously not on the scale described though). It works quite well in the long term provided that your serial numbers incorporate either a day or a page number and are strictly sequential. It's hardly the only way to go about it; I only mentioned it because the original post that I responded to explicitly called out record keeping as a necessarily time consuming and complicated part of the process. I was illustrating that once again, that is only true when complying with existing US regulations.
That would be awesome to know, and would take a lot of stress off my mind.
FoldIt – Coronavirus Binder Design: Round 4
Well yes, because LLVM generates the machine instructions
Not in direct reply to your post, but slighty interesting anecdata: I likely caught COVID-19 1-2 days ago (light fever, headaches, loss of smell, but no runny nose): I gargled with Zinc as I noticed the first symptoms, had Cinchona bark tea yesterday. After a day, almost all symptoms disappeared except for the loss of smell, which is generally considered a late-stage symptom.

Given that the common cold without any treatment typically lasts around 5 days or so, it might point to some efficacy of the treatment.
Has the coronavirus panic cost us at least 10M lives already?
Maybe a moot question/point, but do we take into account patients in ICU that are unrelated to COVID? E.g. traffic accidents, workplace accidents, heart attacks, etc. I am not trying to spoil the discussion, and I do understand that medical services try to save all lives irrespective of age. So someone who's 80 and is down with COVID and someone who is 25 and fell from his Kawasaki doing 200km/h will each occupy a unit in ICU. That would skew the data.

(my bad, it's not easy to go through the slides on a phone)

Edit: by "skew" I imply mix the two categories COVID Vs "all other causes" and will give false average if we are trying to focus only on the COVID cases.

We were brainwashed that sharing economy (uber, wework, airbnb) was going to be our savior. We were renting because assets were too high to own, better to do short rent; cheaper and less commitment. Looks like those sharing economy model cannot solve the root cause. The coronavirus acts as a RESET to the whole society. We may see a collapse in housing price, business bankruptcy, and stock market. If we have to think positively, the current situation will only stop when all of these apply
-stock price reflects 8-10x true profit, not EBITDA
-average housing price in Manhattan will be be 3x working class income.
-young people get decent job, not survival gig, not blocked by increasing retiree or union.

If this virus was artificially made or by natural evolution, I can say it was meant to reset the society. It will actually prevent WW3.

The situation is just stupid - when I first posted my comment, I said the car would still be functional and that issue is not that serious, I immediately received a reply that basically criticizes me for being a pro-Tesla apologist (now deleted, apparently an honest misread), and now I have comments saying I'm anti-Tesla. But the fact is, I'm neither, I was simply expressing a specific criticism that it's not a good design that the dashboard is not separated from the rest of the entertainment system, and I said nothing about how good or bad Tesla is, as a car overall, or whether Tesla, Inc. is a good company.

It's simply a result of much more attention and scrutiny of Tesla on HN because it's a popular car/company in the Silicon Valley.

Foldl' doesn't leak, but it sure looks like it does, if you think the folded function is strict in the accumulator argument, but isn't.
For example, this attempt at computing the average of a list

uncurry (/) . foldl' (\(s,l) x -> (s+x,l+1)) (0,0)

leaks, because during the recursion, there is no reason to scrutinize the intermediate pairs. This version is fine:

uncurry (/) . foldl' (\(!s,!l) x -> (s+x,l+1)) (0,0)

Ask HN: How many Covid-19 deaths have been recorded from homes?
The devastating situation happening especially in Italy where death toll has reached to China's level. My curious mind is asking how many of those deaths have been recorded from homes? It is said that at least in Italy, 99% of deaths have been due to existing illnesses. So I'm wondering if people have died because the body is exhausted with treatments and medication during hospitalisation? By now it's official that W.H.O is not suggesting Ibuprofen for people with coronavirus as it could make the illness worse. All hospitalised patients have easy access to drugs like Ibuprofen + other drugs that could be making illness worse and which we are not aware of yet.

So far I have only found just a few cases mentioning it, every other news article is pointing to a specific hospital or mostly talking about it generally.

Thanks for the blog post. I am following the project closely since Brad announced working for you.

My main concern currently is the coordination server which does not fit the zero trust claim.

I know that the traffic between peers is end-to-end encrypted and you did a good job designing your DERP protocol. However, the ability of the coordination server (login.tailscale.com) to add arbitrary nodes to my private network without my consent scares me.

Maybe you can use Wireguard's PSK to add an additional pre-shared-key to all nodes that is not managed by the coordinator (and never transferred to it)? This would make the setup slightly more difficult (you need to login to tailscale.com AND you need to provide your PSK), but it would at least ensure that the system can never talk to foreign nodes added by the coordinator itself (because the foreign nodes do not know the PSK).

If you already use the PSK for something else, another passphrase/key-file that is never transmitted and is XOR'ed over the PSK will do the trick. The firewall configuration that is pushed to all clients should be probably signed by a local key too, since it is rather critical.

Another possible attack of the coordinator would be if he pushes a configuration with correct VPN IPs and correct public keys, but changes the mapping between them. Since the IP within a wireguard network is usually used as an identity, this might be a huge problem.

I really like the D community and the language itself. However, I cannot but feel a slight disappointment after Andrei had thoroughly dissed Rust's model, and had promised to have a novel approach to memory management that would also get rid of the garbage collector (a year back?
