No not any treatment.  Only for covid.

pointing it out on this forum

Is simply unwanted and off-topic.

And where do ethics come into any of this?

I have no idea!  Please tell us: too much with the rhetoric.

Which country do you speak of?

it seems to be consistent across differing ethnic groups

Which ethnic groups are these?  Where do you find this data?

Brazilians are most urban city dwellers

Not really: it contains a lot of rural parts (where the coffee grows:-), with dwellers, and a few cities, some very large.

Do you have a legitimate source for the 100k figure ?

link to a website ?

And why is it thought to be too high?

Bang Lamung already is [full]

Where exactly is this?  And in what sense is it full?

This is the kind of detailed local information that is most needed.

random mass testing studies (say 1000 from this area and demographic, and 1000 from that demographic)

Please give further details of this statistical design.  

Why 1000 of each, and how many such strata are there?

They would stay at home and try to self isolate the best they can. 

This is exactly my current plan.  For me this is currently very easy, but it will not of course be so easy for many.

Very good question this is Thailand so I’m sure it will vary in different areas 

So we need advice by area.  So please can the ‘usual experts’ respond!  Or maybe there is even some accurate, hard information to post?

I have a minor sore throat today near Pattaya and so I just realised that I have no idea what will be the best action here this week if it gets worse, or I get other warning symptoms.

No! It must have a growth rate proportional to its value to be exponential.  A constant growth rate gives linear growth.

Yes, it’s all very subtle and confusing — we know!

If you take every detail we know equally, then yes, we know a lot. If you weigh these details by importance then statistically we know nothing. ????

Err, statistically speaking this is very confusing!  How do 

count details?

Exponential growth refers to a manner in which a quantity increases when its rate of growth is proportional to itself.

True, but an increasing gradient does not imply such proportional dependence.    For a quadratic the rate of growth increases but it is only proportional to the square root of the quantity itself, an important distinction. 

Just now, Surelynot said:

using normal cartesian co-ordinates if the gradient is increasing then that it is exponential growth......yes??

No, since any power greater than 1 will give increasing gradient (think of a quartic curve).

Why does it kill a relatively healthy young person in just 2 days, and on the other hand, relatively sick and unhealthy people don't even recognize they caught the virus.

This surely is saying that we know very little, or not?

The steeper that line the more exponential it is

No, they are all simply exponential, but the growth rate is the steepness of the line.

Yeah that's nearly exponential.

As is 1% or -5%  . . . almost!

Thanks.  This probably is common knowledge, so next time I shall consult a commoner.????

Who are they?  Anything related to Thailand?  Stay on topic please.
