Data sources

This is a list of some of the main data sources we use:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ Probably the best source of the latest COVID-19 statistics

https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-the-hammer-and-the-dance-be9337092b56 Tomas Pueyo has written a number of very good summaries of the strategies to overcome coronavirus

https://www.capitaleconomics.com/the-economic-effects-of-the-coronavirus/ Good source of fast-moving China economic stats.

https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/02/the-latest-coronavirus-cases/ If you want to be bombarded with every breaking news story, this is the place

https://ncov.dxy.cn/ncovh5/view/pneumonia  Faster than worldometers for Chinese data, but slower on rest of the world data. I don’t think China cases matter anymore.

https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/situation-reports I’m less enamoured of the WHO data now than I was at the start of the crisis. They are providing less information now than they were at the start of the crisis, and it sometimes contradicts country-level data.

https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 The prettiest pictures, but one of the slower sites to update. I don’t find the charts that useful.

      Sadly so much of the data is subject to political [cough … ideologically driven economic] machinations due to latent McNamara, early Nash, Von Newman et al like GT driven methodology. Compounded by both a lack of government capacity [see next] and neoliberal market based incentives which both reduced data collection ability, quality of it, and a process to evaluate it, and lastly a means to use the aforementioned to arrive a informed policy decision and expedite it without any ideological “hang ups” – because of all the previous ideological propaganda is more important.

      All whilst understanding its an evolving reality which will necessitate changes and new information becomes apparent.

      Know wonder the fail rate of schools like rangers etc is so high … when some minds can’t deal with the dynamics E.g. submit a patrol plan based on GDP and then life happens ….

    “None of our pre-COVID public health guidelines so much as suggests that human behavior can eliminate infections as necessary to stop deaths. We have always understood that we have limited control over invisible biological agents, which is why we do not opt to incur the gigantic costs of “lockdowns” and similar: we realize the effort to save every life, while noble, is unfortunately futile. We cannot stop death, so we accept it, and balance it with many other human interests.”

    Having 10k cases in Vic is comparatively not much in global term but having 1030 healthcare workers out of 10k total is just unbelievable. Worse than any place I think
    Unforgivable

    Went to Bunnings today and a lot of staff were wearing sneeze guards with no mask, which I’m sure offers about 0% protection from COVID… not that I care, the whole thing is security theatre anyway.

    So, is anyone running a book on what Australia’s case numbers will look like next week? Or is that in poor taste? Mind you, I will observe that Australians have a reputation for betting on anything…

      No we never bet on death rates taboo old man you never know when you’re number comes up
