| de-facto | So assuming the "best case" of R0 = 2.5 (it probably is more) and the "very best case" of efficiency of a vaccine to have sterilizing immunity hence prevent transmission with an efficiency of e=0.9 we would need to vaccinate a part of population v = (R0 -1) / ( e R0) = (2.5 - 1) / ( 0.9 * 2.5 ) = 0.66 or at least 66% to reach endemic | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| de-facto | With a population of 83M those 66% would be like ~55M citizens | 00:01 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | sounds about right | 00:05 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | add in those who already acquired natural immunity from surviving a covid infection | 00:06 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | and backtracking etc will have some impact on R_0 as well. The genuine naive R_0 will never come back | 00:08 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | or only in a few years the earliest | 00:08 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | just one instance: many people in a poll said they won't revert to practicing shake-hands even after corona | 00:10 |
| de-facto | what i am worried about is that people need to understand that NPIs are still needed even when vaccination started and is ongoing *until* incidence comes down to negligible levels | 00:10 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | yes, I think we discussed that a few weeks ago already | 00:10 |
| de-facto | basically for the viral reproduction it does not matter if an infection did not take place due to NPIs or due to sterilizing immunity (as if that contact/transmission did not happen) | 00:11 |
| de-facto | so i fear that once the elderly are protected the rationale that contagion has to be contained to protect the vulnerable may not be plausible for some anymore, hence them going ahead ignoring NPIs and incidence may explode again | 00:12 |
| de-facto | that would lead to many young people on ICU with longterm problems from their severe disease progressions | 00:13 |
| de-facto | and those are the ones that our future economy would have to be based upon, hence that should be avoided at all costs | 00:13 |
| de-facto | like with fast enough vaccination prevalence spreading etc | 00:13 |
| de-facto | its not only about avoiding escaping mutations | 00:14 |

| ryouma | reported the plot to congress as treason | 01:37 |
| ryouma | wellmayb not a good rejoinder. just a possible one. | 01:37 |
| LjL | i think the idea that "conspiracy do not exist" mostly stems from a lack of proactive thinking by people who are rightly wary of conspiracy theories | 01:37 |
| LjL | when lots of people around you are making wild claims about conspiracies they can't substantiate, a knee-jerk reaction can result in failing to distinguish the fact that those people are usually wrong from the fact that conspiracies do exist | 01:38 |
| ryouma | you have to fight both sides to get them to keep perspective | 01:38 |
| ryouma | "just because what you are arguing against should be arguing against doesn't mean that your argument app(lies to all" or something | 01:39 |
| LjL | which is tiring because it can feel like everyone from all sides is calling you wrong | 01:40 |
| LjL | which explains why i sometimes have high blood pressure | 01:40 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | LjL: >>result in failing to distinguish<< I guess that's the reason for a lot of fake news and CTs, probably invented by those really following their own hidden agenda | 01:59 |
| spybert | There is some argument even over the exact definition of conspiracy. The legal definition in the US would be a secret agreement between individuals to commit an illegal act. | 02:07 |
| spybert | Obviously a lot of the things being classified as conspiracies don't even secret agreements or illegal acts. | 02:08 |
| ryouma | business plot not as inter-rater / mainstream as i thought it was just a few y ago. strange. so whatever. but there are plenty of conspiracies tpo go on. watergate, e.g. | 02:15 |
