mm...very smart app. But it only works well only if there is mass testing (to catch all covid cases). Singapore is aggressive in testing. China also has a similar app and it provides real time alerts if an infected person is nearby.

The probability of dying after developing coronavirus symptoms is 1.4% in Wuhan, China, new research suggests — far lower than initial estimates yahoo.com This is your thing. Forgot my Advanced Algebra from HS.
Mm...1.4% for total. But different percentages for different age brackets with the elderly suffering the highest death rate and the last time I checked, those below the age of 40, female and no underlying health conditions have the lowest death rate at 0.2% or just twice that of the death rate for the common influenza.

^^^My friend who's in the warehousing and supplies business was railing about their trucks being stopped at checkpoints where they would order all passengers other than the driver to get off. Great, so who's gonna unload the cargo at the supermarket?

Coronavirus is devastating Italy, but one town says its testing regime is containing the outbreak ...one small town in the country's north says it is doing surprisingly well. Vo, in the region of Veneto, is right in the middle of what Italy is calling its coronavirus red zone. But local officials say there hasn't been a new case of COVID-19 there since March 13. The town had the first confirmed COVID-19-related death in Italy — a 78-year-old man on February 23. It was one of 11 villages in the country's north which were shut down as the country's outbreak began. What did Vo do? Researchers from the University of Padua, along with Veneto regional officials and the Red Cross, decided to test all residents for COVID-19. Around 3,300 people were tested, even if they had no symptoms. "We tested everybody," Andrea Crisanti, professor of microbiology at the University of Padua, told the ABC's The World Today. Vo, which has a population of about 3,300, is 50 kilometres from Venice. Nearly 3 per cent — or 89 Vo residents — were infected with COVID-19. Even more alarming for Professor Crisanti and his colleagues was that many of the patients had no symptoms. Professor Crisanti said Italian health authorities did not seem concerned by Vo's infection rate. So the town took charge. Vo put all COVID-19 patients in lockdown. Every Vo resident who tested positive for the virus was put in quarantine in their homes. "They were asked not to go out, and not to have contact with any other people," Professor Crisanti said. The researchers decided against sending patients to hospital to prevent them spreading the disease there. "In principle many people in the hospital were infected. Many doctors, many nurses, many patients. This could be a major source of infection," he said. After two weeks of quarantine, the researchers carried out another round of mass testing in Vo. The rate of COVID-19 infection had dropped from nearly 3 per cent to 0.41 per cent. Luca Zaia, the governor of Veneto, has now declared the town of Vo the "healthiest place in Italy". ''This is proof that the testing system works,'' he told the Italian news agency ANSA.

DUTERTE ADMINISTRATION MUST ANSWER CRITICAL QUESTIONS ON COVID-19 The following overriding and critical questions about the COVID-19 pandemic afflicting the country need immediate candid answers from the Duterte administration: Why is the President’s Contingent Fund of P13 billion barely untouched when it was purposely appropriated to respond to calamities like the deadly novel coronavirus? Reliable sources reveal that only a low of P1 million and/or a high of P1 billion had been disbursed from the contingent fund which has an unutilized balance as of today of not less than P12 billion. Why are impoverished local government units, particularly rural barangays, saddled with the obligation to provide food, work and cash assistance to affected citizens and displaced workers when they do not have the financial wherewithal to positively and adequately respond even as the Office of the President and national agencies have the sufficient funds under the 2020 General Appropriations Act (GAA) just waiting to be disbursed to meet the crisis? Why is the mortality rate of the Philippines at 6.2% of infected patients (19 deaths out of 307 COVID-19 positive patients) is much higher than the global death rate of 4.3%? Why are the leaders of the House and the Senate, together with the President, so keen on holding a special session when it is not of critical immediacy because response funds are readily available in the GAA? In an expanded regionwide lockdown, how exactly are residents given access to food and sanitation? What is the real status of the country’s food supply, both agricultural and manufactured goods? Why is Congress being rushed to fund an economic stimulus package without much consultation, planning, study and deliberation? Why are doctors, nurses and other medical personnel attending to suspected and confirmed patients not given adequate supply of personal protective equipment (PPEs) for their insulation from infection? Why are frontline personnel like those in the Bureau of Immigration, Bureau of Customs and Bureau of Quarantine who are manning airports and seaports and are exposed to travelers with possible infection not also given PPEs? Should not the government make a public accounting of the utilization of contributions and donations from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), domestic corporate giants, and foreign countries to the Philippines’ war against the pandemic?
