Coronavirus - COVID-19

Thanks, yeah… I was hoping for something faster than a media query. They are all tied up in media briefings and interviews at the moment.

I just found an interesting technical document in that batch… it looks like a study from the EU that says that clinical verification of sensitivity and specificity hasn’t been great.

Maybe that’s as good as I’m going to get for my article, but I’ll wait a bit for Sinenhlanhla to get back to me.

Ninja edit: I’ve e-mailed Lancet as well. Be interesting to hear what they say.

Can’t find the source right now, but the quote that really hit home for me went something like:

It is infinitely better to overreact and then wonder if you did, than to underreact and find out that you did.

Right and since we have no natural immune to this its better to over react.

This video wins the Internet today. Definitely better than “My naam is Adrianus”.

Well there’s being extremely cautious and closing schools early and banning gatherings of large people, and then there’s being a wannabe prepper and buying out all of Makro’s stock. :upside_down_face:

OT: Reminds me of a lady I know. Her VCR needed cleaning so the manual told her to clean the head with alcohol. She used cane. I don’t think the VCR ever worked again after that.

I wonder how the companies is coping with this will they just keep going at the same rate or will they try to up production on the products.
