on average, we can't control for the first factor (most of us won't move from a high density area), but we can control if we're going lots of places with lots of people around.
The CDC now lists 11 symptoms associated with COVID-19.
These symptoms usually appear two days to two weeks after exposure to the virus, according to the CDC.
Fever or chills
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Muscle or body aches
Headache
New loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
Congestion or runny nose
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea
everything wrote:first off, this is a pretty hard to read graph (garish colors, one of the % is additive, doesn't seem to say % of what total, the last 8.4% number is probably incomplete but you have to read the fine print). kind of sad it's from supposed data experts. guess they're expert in data and not data storytelling. to get a point across, these things are super important.
the actual message seems to be that covid is deadlier than the flu. whomever is supposed to read this chart (and NEEDS to realize this fact) isn't going to be able to be swayed by this chart (due to the bad chart and probably due to being chart illiterate/illiterate/not being a reader in general).

I thought the same from a bout with flu or whatever in December - especially
after getting sick in China a short time before that.
My tests as of today -
Virus - negative
Antibody - negative
Once the data for June are added to the chart, we will be able to assess whether the loosening of restrictions results in a second peak.
