The results provide key information about the stability of SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19 disease, and suggests that people may acquire the virus through the air and after touching contaminated objects."]]> 2020-03-24 13:45:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lturner83_1/mzw915bzq4o3/wish/472743625 lturner83_1 https://padlet.com/lturner83_1/mzw915bzq4o3/wish/472806556 I actually found the "recovered" field to be useful/comforting to add perspective. ]]> 2020-03-24 14:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lturner83_1/mzw915bzq4o3/wish/472806556 lturner83_1 https://padlet.com/lturner83_1/mzw915bzq4o3/wish/474412227 Part II: 16-minute podcast. Computer models that show how long shutdowns must be to avoid hospital overload. Pertinent modeling numbers from Imperial College London's forecast mechanism:

R = Reproduction Number (# of infections resulting from one case) --> now estimated 2-3 ppl on average, ranges from no infections to "super-spreaders" *Note: reducing # of ppl any single person contacts reduced R in pandemic
Serial Interval  = average time of infection before someone passes to someone else (4 days for current pandemic). Many cases passing from asymptomatic people.

Uncontrolled/unmitigated pandemic conditions: estimated infection of 80% of population, with  pandemic petering out by September. Following China's 3-month lockdown, will test re-introduction, but *within a few weeks of lifting restrictions, without widespread/herd immunity (exposure or vaccine, which is 18 months out), epidemic will re-seed and grow again.
Developing a serologic test will enable us to determine who has developed antibodies. ]]> 2020-03-25 12:18:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lturner83_1/mzw915bzq4o3/wish/474412227 lturner83_1 https://padlet.com/lturner83_1/mzw915bzq4o3/wish/474419204 13-minute Podcast -- Part I: Aerosols! Surfaces! Everything you need to know from one of the longest-published science magazines for lay people. Two questions (and answers) I appreciate, particularly as I try to navigate my way outside:
1. Can you catch it from someone who isn't in the same room as you? (One of my ongoing questions.) --> New vocab: fomites! (Pertinent for Amazon deliveries!)
2. People who feel fine now but will become ill 5-10 days from now are spreading the virus (the scenario with Rand Paul, who had no symptoms but tested positive, shutting down the Senate buildings). ]]> 2020-03-25 12:23:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lturner83_1/mzw915bzq4o3/wish/474419204 lturner83_1 https://padlet.com/lturner83_1/mzw915bzq4o3/wish/479134248 NY Covid Hospital Doc Shares His (Comforting) Learnings]]> 2020-03-27 20:30:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lturner83_1/mzw915bzq4o3/wish/479134248 lturner83_1 https://padlet.com/lturner83_1/mzw915bzq4o3/wish/492046485 Lecture on Where/How Pandemics Originate and Spread (thanks Justine!)
