But that doesn't make sense, does it? So there is something wrong with the numbers, and probably the numbers in the survey.

Since I seem to have hijacked the thread, here is the original post to bring things back around. I will have nothing more to say about the 78% number.

Come up with a null hypothesis. Create an alternative hypothesis. Arrive at the significance level. State the test you will use Determine sample size determine standard deviation.. Arrive at the t-score and the degrees of freedom Use a t-table marked with the sd and the two ends sd/.5 Why are we doing this? |

Ivermectin, another COVID treatment?

Pretty straight-forward to me. What we know, and what we've known even before the vaccines were formulated.
The best way to handle COVID is prevention. The most efficient way, we knew then, and know now, would be for at least 80% of the population to get a vaccine as soon as logistically possible, with the people most at risk of SPREADING the disease, to be vaccinated first. While we wait for that to happen, we mask, wash our hands, and keep a social distance. Nothing has changed. We still should mask, wash our hands, and keep a social distance while we wait for 80% of the population to be vaccinated. If we had all been vaccinated months ago, we could've been mostly unmasked, been able to hug our family/friends/neighbors, but you still should wash your hands a couple times a day plus after going to the bathroom, because that's just good hygiene. |

3. Much more infectious. This much higher load plus the ultra “stickiness” of the delta strains for adhering to human cells makes it remarkably more infectious than previous strains. You may have heard of R0 (Pronounced R naught) which is, in a nutshell, the number of people to which an infected person would be expected to transmit the virus. Early versions of the virus had a 2 to 2.5 R0 value. So one infected person would infect two or so people on average. Delta has an R0 of about eight! In the infectious disease world, that’s almost unheard of. Chickenpox and measles are about all we have ever seen that spread that efficiently from human to human. This changes the story line completely from earlier in the pandemic and makes this surge, in many ways, like a completely different pandemic event." Last edited by Altavia; 08-17-2021 at 06:05 PM. |
