de-factoDocScrutinizer05 it seems like the RKI Dataset Recoveries is updated, the edge where they fall off to 0 is now at 19-20, so maybe there are just no newer recovered cases available to report, hence it taking roughly 12-14 days for recovery?15:02
de-factobefore the edge was at 15-16 Aug15:02
de-factoso actually that makes sense, looks like everything is correct and I just did not understand that there are no earlier recoveries15:03
generawell. what is a recovery? if the number of hospitalized patient goes down by one, and it is not a fatality, it has to be one recovery?15:09

DocScrutinizer05>>[1 Sep 2020 15:20:58] <de-facto> so it seems like active = accumulated_active = SUM(infections) - SUM(recoveries) - SUM(fatalities) should be the current number of active cases calculated by given incidences for infections, recoveries and fatalities<< that's 'correct' but meaningless since the recoveries are already calculated by a similar algo16:13
DocScrutinizer05the recoveries are a derived value with very little information in it16:15
DocScrutinizer05well, you could say same anout R_eff, but... at least for R_eff you can easily tell whether it's >1 or <116:16
DocScrutinizer05about*16:16
DocScrutinizer05recoveries doesn't tell you anything, but maybe makes you feel better ;-)16:16
de-factoI would like to have the current known prevalence for a district or federal state hence the requirement for getting the current number of active known infections to divide them by population of that administrative compartment16:17
DocScrutinizer05umm, isn't number_of_new_infections used for that?16:23
DocScrutinizer05or alternatively number_of_infections_total ( - fatalities)16:23
DocScrutinizer05I already elaborated a few days ago that "number of recoveries" has no meaningful relation to number of infectious individuals aka spreaders in public, at all16:25
de-factoe.g. when I know currently there are 32 active known infections in a city of 160k citizens, on average 1 in 5k people would be known to be active (those are in quarantine hence removed from contact group)16:25
de-factoassuming real_infections = known_infections / detection_probability one could derive an expected prevalence = known_infections / ( detection_probability * number_citizens) for each region16:25
de-factoe.g. 320 real infections with 32 known infections if only 10% get detected, hence prevalence of 320 / 160k or 1 in 500 contacts could be infectious16:25
DocScrutinizer05define "active"16:26
de-factoable to cause an infection by spreading "active" pathogen16:26
de-factohence quarantined16:27
DocScrutinizer05nope, as stated one above, number of spreaders and number of recoveries have no useful relation whatsoever16:27
BrainstormNew from CNBC Health: (news): Coronavirus live updates: GM makes 30,000 ventilators for U.S. stockpile; Trump talks less about virus → https://is.gd/NsFxy616:27
de-factowell ok then active as in currently fighting with SARS-CoV-2 infection with unknown outcome (either recovery or fatality)16:28
de-facto*known SARS-CoV-2 infection 16:29
de-factothose who were detected by testing positive, quarantined for preventing further spreading and in the process of fighting with COVID-1916:30
DocScrutinizer05 new_cases_per_day[dnumber of spreaders roughly = new_cases_per_day[d-4 ~ d-7] + ( new_cases_per_day[d-8 ~ d-11] * percentage_of_asymptomatic )16:30
DocScrutinizer05or somesuch16:31
DocScrutinizer05damn16:31
DocScrutinizer05number of spreaders roughly = new_cases_per_day[d-4 ~ d-7] + ( projected_undetected_new_cases_per_day[d-4 ~ d-11] * percentage_of_asymptomatic )16:32
DocScrutinizer05since someone with detected infection (usually because the individual feels sick) goes quarantine and thus no longer is "active" spreader16:34
DocScrutinizer05none of all that involves recovered_cases16:34
de-factohmm yes that makes sense16:34

DocScrutinizer05let me put it plain text: those active spreading wild runners today will either: *) get symptoms today, tomorrow or in 2 days AND get diagnosed as new cases, or *) ignore their symptoms or are asymptomatic today, tomorrow or in 2 days and continue to spread until today+7days. What RKI reports are only the first group16:44
DocScrutinizer05the first group supposed to stop being active due to quarantine as soon as they get diagnosed16:47
BrainstormNew from CNBC Health: (news): Coronavirus live updates: GM makes 30,000 ventilators for U.S. stockpile; Trump talks less about virus → https://is.gd/NsFxy616:47
DocScrutinizer05the second group of unknown number (except by estimating number of undetected cases) will probably at least partially not quarantine and thus continue spreading until day10 after infection 16:48
DocScrutinizer05it's pretty complex16:50
de-factoyes trying to wrap my head around it16:52
BrainstormNew from CNBC Health: Nearly 3 in 4 adults plan to get vaccinated against the coronavirus, global survey shows: China was the most enthusiastic country with 97% of respondents indicating they would be vaccinated, while Russia was the least willing with only 54% interested to do so. → https://is.gd/TKlsug16:57
de-factohow do you derive your indices for the time window?16:57
DocScrutinizer05there's a "shortcut" to calculate the number of active spreaders: you assume (subject to replace by correct numbers) a 20% of infections getting detected because of symptoms consequently test, and you assume that derived number of new_cases_per_day / 20% (aka x5) does spread for a 4 days average before they either go quarantine or stop being infectious. So you can calculate number of active spreaders (using ny bogus numbers) as new_17:01
DocScrutinizer05cases_today * 5 ((for 20%)) * 4 ((days))17:01
de-factoe.g. i detect today 150 new infections, those will have spread the virus in their incubation period already, hence contribute to free_spreaders (who are unaware) yesterday, day before yesterday, 2 days before yesterday, 3 days before yesterday but self isolate today due to suspected COVID-19 until confirmation and quarantine 17:03
DocScrutinizer05the time periods are 2 days spreading before symptoms (and test and quarantine)17:05
DocScrutinizer054 days series length17:06
DocScrutinizer05though series length is irrelevant here17:06
de-factoyeah something like that17:06
de-factoe.g. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0869-5/figures/117:07
de-factoso if those 150 cases would spread 4 days (on average) before onset of symptoms, hence contribute today active_spreaders(today - 0) += -150 (today removed due to quarantine), active_spreaders(today - 1) += 150 (day before symptom onset max spread), active_spreaders(today - 2) += 150, active_spreaders(today - 3) += 150, active_spreaders(today - 4) += 15017:13
de-facto(idk just as example not sure about 4 days there)17:13

DocScrutinizer05for day x you got sigma[N=1 ~ 2](reported_new_cases[x+N] * factor_undetected)  assuming all undetected also only spread for 2 days, but they spread for 7 days since they don't go quarantine, at least not all of them. Thus you compensate that by another multiplier factor which resulted in me assuming 4 days per case *average* , not 2 days17:23
BrainstormNew from CNBC Health: (news): Coronavirus live updates: GM makes 30,000 ventilators for U.S. stockpile; Trump talks less about virus → https://is.gd/NsFxy617:26
DocScrutinizer05in the end the calculation is just 'good enough' since it doesn't suffer random variations of the systematic error and in the end it doesn't matter if you got 300 or 400 or even 500 spreaders per 100k, you want a ballpark figure to get an idea of the real situation and this is fine for that purpose17:27
de-factoyes it does not have to be perfect, just trying to reconstruct it17:28
DocScrutinizer05you have to guesstimate numbers already for the number_of_undetected etc, so...17:28
de-factoso for day x you want to find the number of unaware active spreaders 17:28
de-factohow do you derive your sum there?17:29
de-factolets exclude undetected and asymptomatic for now17:30
de-factojust the number of currently active unaware spreaders who will show up in positive tests17:30
DocScrutinizer05you add day*1 and day*2 new cases and multiply those with a correection factor (undetected*exteded_spread_spread_period) aka (my guess) 5 * 2 aka 1017:30
de-factoyes I got that, but how goes your motivation for that?17:30
DocScrutinizer05day+1 and day+2 sorry17:31
de-factoso you only can tell that number for a delay in the past, not for today since those unaware spreading today were not tested positive yet17:32
DocScrutinizer05as I elaborated above, a person spreading today will either "feel sick" tomorrow or in two days and thus get reported, or that person is one of the 80% who don't feel sick enough to get a test and thus go unnoticed. Part of the latter group will self-quarantine because of feeling sick nevertheless17:33
DocScrutinizer05yes, exactly17:33
de-factook then i think i understood it17:34
DocScrutinizer0520% aka factor 5 for undetected_cases (dunkelziffer) is a fair assumption for germany, I think. Factor 2 for extended average period over the 2 days of detected to maybe 10 days max for those who neither get tested nor do self-quarantine is subject to anybody's guess17:38
de-factouff now how to do that in SQL... :P17:43
DocScrutinizer05the latter could be 1 (if you'd assume *everybody* that catches the virus goes quarantine 4 days after infection aka 2 days after staerting to spread). or sth like 5 if you assume even those who got a positive test don't quarantine and spread for a full 10 days17:44

BrainstormNew from CNBC Health: Fauci debunks theories of low CDC coronavirus death toll: 'There are 180,000 plus deaths' in U.S.: "That does not mean that someone who has hypertension or diabetes who dies of Covid didn't die of Covid-19. They did," Dr. Anthony Fauci told ABC's "Good Morning America." → https://is.gd/UHbi6T17:55
DocScrutinizer05further simplifying the whole thing: number_of_spreaders_running_wild[today] ~= number_of_new_cases[today] * 2017:57
de-factowell that would be a rough estimate independent of accumulation effects of the direct past replications17:58
DocScrutinizer05this is just neglecting different values for number_of_new_cases[today] vs [yesterday]18:00
DocScrutinizer05to improve you may do (number_of_new_cases[today] + number_of_new_cases[yesterday])/2 * 2018:01

DocScrutinizer05R_eff[4d] and *[1d] are both dreived from 7day average of new_infections18:36
DocScrutinizer05derived*18:37
de-factotrying to understand that formula, i guess its from N(t) = N(0) R ^(t/tau) with tau = 4 days serial interval and t=1 day delay for new cases N => N(1) / N(0) = R ^(1/4) => R = (N(1) / N(0))^418:37
DocScrutinizer05(new_cases_today/new_cases_yesterday)^418:38
de-factoyes thats only a redefinition of timebase then, e.g. R=(N(0)/N(-1))^4  18:39
DocScrutinizer05sorry I usually have the "formula" in my mind just out of nowhere, then I verify against existing solutions18:39
de-factoyeah its correct, just trying to motivate and understand it :)18:40
DocScrutinizer05a/d = a/b * b/c * c/d18:41
de-factoSo you do a 7 day rolling average on daily new infections N(t) with a box sum function, then derive R4(t) = N(t) / N(t-4) and R1(t) = ( N(t) / N(t-1) ) ^ 4 form that right?18:43

BrainstormNew from CNBC Health: Florida drops Quest for coronavirus testing after lab reports backlog of 75,000 test results: "The law requires all COVID-19 results to be reported to DOH in a timely manner. To drop this much unusable and stale data is irresponsible," Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said. → https://is.gd/tmY48J18:44
DocScrutinizer05the 7d average proved appropriate for the weekly periodic noise, empirically18:44
de-factoi tried doing it on the raw data but that fluctuates wildly so i guess its better to do it on smoothed data18:45
DocScrutinizer05BTDT, doesn't give any useful info18:45
DocScrutinizer05smoothed data is it18:45
de-factoafaik RKI does the smoothing by calculating the reproduction number as ratio of two rolling sums delayed by one serial interval tau = 4 days like Reff(t) = (N(t-0) + N(t-1) + N(t-2) + N(t-3)) / (N(t-4) + N(t-5) + N(t-6) + N(t-7))18:47
DocScrutinizer057d rolling window is quite appropriate for this case. I tried "recurring pattern matching" with a 7d cycle period, still to much real random noise in that18:47
DocScrutinizer05too much*18:48
DocScrutinizer05yep, that's what RKI does18:48
DocScrutinizer05I didn't see the purpose18:48
DocScrutinizer05maybe mine is a tad more 'sluggish'18:49
DocScrutinizer05that's why I came up with R_eff(1d)18:49
de-factothey also do a more smoothed version with weekly rolling sums ratio as R7eff(t) = (N(t-0) + N(t-1) + N(t-2) + N(t-3) +  N(t-4) +  N(t-5) +  N(t-6)) / (N(t-4) + N(t-5) + N(t-6) + N(t-7) +  N(t-8) +  N(t-9) +  N(t-10))18:50
DocScrutinizer05which is basically identical to my R_eff(4d)18:51
de-factoyes i think so18:51
DocScrutinizer05one more difference betweek RJI diagrams and mine: I use "meldedatum" always, not that weird mix of "meldedatum nur wenn kein erkrankungsdatum"18:52
de-factoso your R1(t) is faster while still compensating for weekly periodicity18:52
DocScrutinizer05between RKI*18:52
de-factoi used refdatum18:53
de-factoI guessed that reference date would mean the date where that specific incidence refers to, not sure what do you think?18:53
de-factonot sure if they published a definition of their colums somewhere18:55
DocScrutinizer05nope they didn't. IIRC refdate =^= Meldedatum19:05
DocScrutinizer05their database structure is a mess and a a PITA19:06
DocScrutinizer05as a CS-student you'd fail any test providing such mess as a solution for a database structure 19:07

de-factoso there is "Meldedatum" meaning reporting_date "Datenstand" which probably means data_update or such and the "Refdatum" which I interpret as reference_date, hence i thought that "Refdatum" might be the one refering to the incidence, but that a guess19:11

de-factothats interesting, so refdatum is not always the one of the incidence in question?21:05
de-factoMeldedatum is the date where the data collector was made aware of the case, but Refdatum the one that specifies the incidence more precisely i guess21:08

DocScrutinizer05but maybe that's just wishful thinking21:11

de-factoso always should hold Refdatum <= Meldedatum unless there is timetravel in the past :)21:13
de-facto"Referenzdatum: Erkrankungsdatum bzw. wenn das nicht bekannt ist, das Meldedatum" <-- indeed they mention date of illness not specifying if they mean test, hospitalization or death, but imho the instant of the incidence in question would make most sense21:15

LjLno that's not the definition of herd immunity at all22:15
bin_bashLjL: yeah i really dont get it and it pisses me off22:16
LjLand then of course brings up the serology survey that was bogus as hell22:16
LjL"In California, it appears that herd immunity was reached around July 15 with slightly more than 10% of their population (4.05 million) being infected," he says. "This means that their basic reproduction number R0 under current restrictions is only 1.1.22:16
