Two Errors I’ve Made Interpreting COVID-19 Data, that Others are Also Making
I’ve made two errors, and I see others making the same errors, and I suspect many are not noticing these errors (because I see few comments pointing them out), so I hope this helps people make better sense of the numbers we’re seeing. The errors I made were: Mixing up the case fatality rate (CFR)…

About This Blog
In 2024 I decided to revive link pages to news on the home page. I did this years ago, and it was an abject failure, and unsustainable. I switched to posting links on social media, and that worked for a while to signal boost news. However, by 2024, the big sites were no longer giving…

Watching COVID-19: The OC
Orange County decided to open up their beaches on April 25th, so, it’s a good time to take a look at the Orange County COVID-19 website, and start monitoring their stats. If many people were infected with SARS-CoV-2 from going to the beach, it could show up in the new cases they report every day.

How Long Does SARS-CoV-2 (Coronavirus) Last on Surfaces
In the next “normal”, we’ll have fewer plastic and steel surfaces. That’s my prediction. Coronavirus can live a long time, upwards of five days, on these smooth surfaces, but loses viability over one or two days when it’s landed on a cardboard or copper surface. It’s been shown that wooden cutting boards can kill bacteria.…

Village Scale Epidemic Management in Japan
This paper has influenced me during this COVID-19 pandemic. It breaks past the idea of looking at epidemic policy narrowly, through the lens of science and government, but with a broader view that includes “natural, social and economic factors.” Smallpox and the Epidemiological Heritage of Modern Japan: Towards a Total History https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3143877/ The TL;DR: in…

First COVID-19 Post
I’ve been obsessed with it for over a month. I’ll be copying things from my Facebook feed here, and going back in time to find early posts. This document shows some plots of the daily numbers coming out of Los Angeles County. (Comment on Sept 2024: When I wrote this in 2020, in the early…
