					<description><![CDATA[This comment is a little off-topic, but it&#039;s at least relevant to the question of data accuracy.

At his blog, &quot;West Hunter,&quot; Greg Cochran cites an Italian newspaper article that passionately argues that deaths due to the virus have been greatly underestimated, because many people have died at home or in nursing homes.

Official death counts are those from hospitals only.  Someone has added a comment that the same thing is happening in France.

To read the articles, I used a combination of my very poor memory of French and Spanish, along with the Google Translate browser extension, which worked surprisingly well.

The Italian article is here:  https://tinyurl.com/s3rb9e2

The French article is here:  https://tinyurl.com/sshzzhx]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So many posts from Neo yesterday, I decided to go here for morning update: some small changes. Active cases still exponential with a prediction of near 60000 cases by tomorrow.  However &quot;new cases&quot; and &quot;serious cases&quot; show a slight flattening.  It is probably statistical noise, but we will see in a few days.  Given the proximity to NYC, CT cases is now somewhere between linear and exponential with largest cluster in Greenwich county; also not surprising.

Recovered cases still way low at 379, where I predict 1210 for a two week recovery, and 8800 for a 1 week recovery.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One problem I have with some of the statistics is akin to the &quot;apples and oranges&quot; problem.  Definitions and context matter.

Definitions:  IIRC, during the Cold War, on of the Communist countries had fantastically low infant mortality rates.  The percentage of deaths within a few months of a live birth was very small.  Turned out that an infant had to survive awhile (two weeks?) before it was considered a &quot;live birth&quot;.  So...Italy records any death of a person with Wu-flu as that being the cause of death.

Context is especially important in looking at infection rates.  If a goodly number of the infected are asymptomatic and only the symptomatic are tested, then the infection rate will be far from real.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Three quick stories about COVID in general.
Some are good news, some are not so good.

Two weeks was the time interval before the staff could get them disinfected.
https://hotair.com/archives/john-s-2/2020/03/23/study-coronavirus-lingered-cruise-ship-cabins-17-days/

&lt;blockquote&gt; A new study has found that coronavirus was able to survive inside cruise ship cabins for more than two weeks after they were vacated, including the cabins of people who tested positive but had no symptoms.
&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

Don&#039;t get too optimistic about flattening our own curve.

&lt;blockquote&gt; Young people can still get really sick, but a great many will either have mild symptoms or be asymptomatic. That’s good and bad news. The bad news is that since people who are mild-to-asymptomatic-aren’t deathly ill, they could go outside and spread it to those who are highly susceptible to dying from the virus. This disease can survive in the air for hours and on certain surfaces for up to three days. The symptoms are fever, cough, fatigue, and difficulty breathing. Yet, across the pond, in the UK, we have a new symptom that is causing concern for doctors: &lt;b&gt;loss of smell &lt;/b&gt;(via NYT):
