Good Covid-19 data source 11:36 - Mar 15 with 935 viewsDarth_Koont

Our World in Data is an Oxford Uni site that has been great for clean, clear economic and environmental data before it's often twisted and butchered by the politicians and the media.

Their coronavirus stuff is very good too with some good tips to interpreting the data and crucially what can't and shouldn't be interpreted yet.

Very good.
Do they happen to mention how often you need to cough before it is classified as persistent....asking for a friend!

I think a persistent cough is when it becomes annoying to anyone else. Any huffy sighs and eye rolls yet?

Good stuff, thanks for posting.

I've had a mild shortness of breath at times for about a week and have a mild pain in my right arm.

No fever or cough though.

Are you right or left handed? Sounds like some form of cramp.

This site below is good too. Interestingly there is a column against a list of countries that shows cases per million of population. This is from a perspective angle more relevant than just gross numbers. Germany is showing 5142 cases, France 4499, yet per million, Germany has 61.4 cases and France 68.9 (UK is 16.8 per million). The caveat to stats like this is of course that they’re recorded cases. As was said the other day, there are 1000s out there unrecorded.

Thanks.

Yeah, the recorded cases in the UK and US look low at first glance. But we've also done a huge amount of testing in the UK - so I wonder if that's testing symptom-free general population and healthcare staff which might be skewing the numbers.

Edit But that would be consistent with flattening the curve by seeing where the general population is so that we can understand when we're nearing capacity for healthcare resources. If you just test those exhibiting the symptoms especially if they're just the ones sick enough to come forward then you won't really know what's coming and when to quarantine people to slow the spread.
