Sadly I realized Joe Armstrong passed away on 20 Apr 2019

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Armstrong_(programmer)

Ir seems the death was because of something with similar effects to 
Coronavirus!


rest in peace!

Perhaps enter imagination mode rather than cynic. Tiddlywiki is great for 
cumulative personal notes. It can be used to build personally curated resources 
even a database and is easy to share with others.

There is a lot of information out there but more of it is not relevant to 
particular circumstances than is relavant. Lets say you live in an apartment if 
you want to grow things you need selective info.

Someone with an interest or hobby can capture their specialist knowledge for 
self or others.

I am currently not working full time as I build my own business venture. 
However I told myself durring this period I would actively develop reusable 
skills durring this period so I have more skills if I return to work.

If you are safe and can afford to live while isolated a lot of people feel out 
of control. I think self education and skills development can not only fill the 
gaps but prepare for better times.

When I was young I experienced the stress of living paycheck to paycheck. I 
hated this, setting budgets for everything. Always thinking about what I don't 
have was depressing. As they say I learned to save for a rainy day. Its raining 
now work wise but not time wise. Using the extra hours available now but which 
will not be available when I work more, self education is me saving for the 
future.

With tiddlywiki specifically you may see me active here but I am not publishing 
plugins or editions. One reason for this is I am in a large skills acquisition 
phase and building rapid development tools. I am developing fundamental tools 
on top of tiddlywiki and building a large list of possible applications. At the 
same time you will see me participating in the development of tiddlywiki 
because I see where its limitations lay. I specifically remain in the user and 
designer space without starting to code JavaScript so that my skills are based 
on tiddlywiki out of the box.

I will one day publish more than code patterns for the community, if Mohammad 
has not already done it.

It's hard to imagine what TW would bring to the table that PDF's and 
standard documents would not.

The exception might be in education, since there are so many parents home 
schooling. This would actually be a good use of node.

One computer could host the TW files on node. The kids could do their 
worksheets from their favorite tablet or device. The parents TW would load 
the kid's completed tiddlers and combine with the answer key. In this way 
they could track progress, provide feedback.

The starting point (similar to recipes) would be access to high quality,

Earlier I complained about the elderly getting the news and the latest

month. We are now told that it will be postponed for 3 months.

Rather funny because politicians have discussed it but are not really able 
to decide before the final vote and that will be at march 31. Really seldom 
have we heard politicians agree BEFORE voting about something.

*Arguments before:*
Politician: signal change was decided 2015: you should have adapted to that.
Old people: An Epidemic plan was made 2008: why did you not follow through

*"Most people I know won't get tested because they can't afford treatment."* 

I believe your friend is misinformed.  You test positive, they send you 
home unless you require hosipitalization for serious symptoms.  There's no 
treatment.  When they do have something and the government is footng the 
bill, they will cover it cause most of the state governments want this over 
ASAP (like NYC is doing with the malaria drug test if I'm understanding 
correctly).  Despite what Trump may say, the state governments can oppose 
him and they're actually running the show not the Federal Government.

As Mark said about Texas being a red state-- the rural areas which Vidor is

Or makes it sound like it's only there for when you fall, otherwise you're

We have Medicare (paid tor in wages taxes, that can be SUPPLEMENTED not 
replaced by private insurance, mainly for seniors and the disabled).  We 
also have MediAid for low income.  America is not a universal state yet but 
providing mainly for the poverty stricken, disabled and seniors. If you 
work and make over so much you're on your own, till maybe the ACA (I think 
they offer more options-- but don't quote me-- I have medical thru the 
military and VA so I don't know whats up with medical insurance), before 
that I had none and have the scars to prove it.

A Gloom,

If the rich don't get it, or those in prison etc.. it is not universal.  

However in Australia we have a medicare levy, medicare being our healthcare 
system. I am not sure the exact figures but we all pay something like 1.5% 
of our wages through the tax system and people over say $70K will pay 
another percent if they do not prove they have private health insurance. 
However if you earn little or nothing you do not pay the medicare levy and 
in fact may be entitled to cheaper prescriptions and more, if they issue 
you with a "health care card". With insurance, you always have the choice 
to go public or private.

Our health care has being threatened a number of times, the "weasel words" 
used in health and social security are, its a "safety net" rather than 
universal. I don't like the idea of safety net, it makes me feel unless 
they arrive in time you will hit the ground.

More recently we have also adopted the "National Disability Insurance 
scheme" in which the Government insures all Australians such if they are 
born with or or acquire a disability they will be covered for help, 
equipment, care and basic support income their whole life. Interestingly 
this takes a lot of pressure of large payouts or legal suits, by being "off 
the table", overall insurance premiums can drop.

Whilst I am proud of Australia's health care system, it is always in need 
of improvement, and the main reason I explain it to others is so they are 
informed to influence their own Governments, or will share the ideas within

It is Southern Texas. Vidor. It is a small city with a bad reputation.
>

 Vidor actually isn't too far south, its north of Houston and near 
Louisiana (more like the east part of the state).  What I consider South 
Texas is much further south-- the Rio Grande Valley, which is much worst 
off.  It's a small city in a rural area, so they're not going to get the 
same attenton/resources as the major metropolitan areas.  But even in the 
best of cities, there's disadvantaged people, so Vidor don't need a rep to 
have people in need.  America is huge with the bulk of its population in 
urban areas so the rural areas tend to get neglected or tended to last.  
When you hear of people being without electricity after a hurricane, its 
people out in the rural areas.  This would also hold true during a 
pandemic-- the larger urban will get the most attention and resources.

2020-03-25 Thread Birthe C
TT,

The young doctors are entusiastic and good, but they do not get to have the 
same practical experience. Not only because of few hospitals. Also due to 
more and more sick being treated without staying at hospital. Really 
getting thrown out to heal by themselves at home.
It is a learning experience to receive a patient, take part in the 
diagnostics and treatment and being able to follow the healing. The small 
hospitals and the older way of doing things did that very much possible 
(Could not be avoided).

It will be even harder to learn when the robots and AI take over. A lot of 
danish doctors are really over retirement age or close. Experience and 
teaching are leaving.

Politicians are even discussing to send newly graduated, without the basic 
postgraduate training out to compensate for the lack of family doctors. 
That will be a very harsh start and not fair to the young - or the patients.

The young do not like it as it is at least not after the first few years 
after graduation.

Right. My doctor loathes the computer but has to do hours on it doing 
admin. It is "out of proportion", as he says.

No doctor can learn without bodily interaction being central.

My doctor is about 60. He has lots of years of practice. But what would a

We would need to get rid of a lot of EU restrictions. Reduce a hell of a 
lot of bureaucrazy. The need for health professionals to use most part of 
their working hours to enter data for every possible thing. Much of it of 
no relevance to the actual treatment right now, but data registers are to 
be build. Everything collected and fun together. Often leaking in public. 
All that stuff are also hacked rather often.

Educating enough doctors and nurses would also help. Not constantly let of 
personel to get yet more It or fancy campaigns. Taxpayers want something 
for their money. That something is diagnose and treatment.

I do know the plan is more and more digitalization and dreams of robot, AI 
and all that. To make it more personal is even argued. I am not against 
that, but really they can not substitute everything.

It will come to slowdown due to less and less people want to study long 
years, expensive years to work like they have been doing for years now. 
That is also why politicians wanted to increase the uptake of students only 
not enough students wanted it any more.

Now for a few other diagnoses. 
Widely used in Africa for Malaria, yes, but really also for a lot of other 
things. Kind of we are taking a pill for headache.

Many countries did not have restrictions on the medical profession to use 
it - laws changed rapidly a very short time ago.

No matter how well known the medicin, you need to be able to buy it before

In Denmark we are paying high taxes and have universal healthcare.
Our system changed a lot since around 2004. Before we had large hospitals 
in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Odense. The three largest cities and connected to 
the universities. A lot of smaller hospitals all over the country. Everyone 
had a family doctor.
Then that were changed. Now we were to have a few superhospitals with all 
specialists. The local hospitals were closed. Not taking up enough medical 
students and not having enough postgraduate training hospitals, well now 
even in the biggest cities, not everyone can have their own "family doctor" 
lack of around 30% without. Far worse outside the cities.

Everything really worked better before the changes, more effective. And we 
used to laugh thinking of USA. The truth being that not all danish taxes 
was used on healthcare - really a rather small fraction with the old 
system. In fact about half the money pr. head, that was calculated for USA 
- and then they even had to pay more themselves and exclude at lot of 
people. That was beyond our beliefs.

All that has changed, the super this and that had the result of longer 
distance for lots of people and less hospital beds in all.

Digitalisation was costly and doctors and nurses now use a lot of time 
doing what the secretary used to do.

A Gloom,

Exactly, capacity is not enough, that is why I kept asking. If in doubt 
look at some of the stuff on this site 
https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/supply-chain/better-than-a-bandana-or-scarf-expired-face-masks-from-stockpile-ok-cdc-says.html

Searching for everything from all over the world. Asking for masks from the 
depot and receiving a fraction, and old expired masks for a large part.

By the way USA bought all the Chloroquine on the market. They are expected 
to use it for a lot of people in New York, to test the effect. Does it 
work, making the sickness milder and shorter? Some kind of do it and 
register how it goes, compared to others not getting it. (Not double 
blinded test).

China used it and reported, France had some studies that looked promising 
in combination with other medicin, I think also Tony mentioned something 
from Australia about the same subject. Most contries are only testing, did 
not think the tests that were done were on large enough groups. Well the 
tests will not help many as chloroquine is not available on the market, at 
least not right now.

The two  quotes from Texas ...
>

South Texas?  Much of that is rural and rural areas historically have been 
neglected not just public assistance-- most social programs are based in 
cities-- but health care in general.  Appalachia and the First Nations 
reservations have much worst because of their isolation.

And I assume lower middle class?  There's a povery level cut off for a lot 
of puclic assistance that puts the lower middle class in a bind-- make 
enough that the government determined your don't need assistance but in 
reality you aren't making enough to cover things like medical and child 
care.  Been there and have a permanently bowed bone in my hand cause I 
didn't want the extra expense of the county hospital to set it for me after 
I broke it.

People on public assistance were getting better health care than me with a 
job-- in some cases better housing.

Liberal?  not here-- disavowed both-- there won't be a commitment-- people 
weren't happy with the hidden tax of the ACA-- America probably couldn't 
afford (can't handle what social programs it already has) nor the citizens 
would want to pay the taxes required for universal health care.  Alot of 
Americans can't afford the taxes already in place-- we don't get paid 
enough for health care let alone financing it.

Texas is one of the states that is actively fighting ACA (Obamacare) in the 
courts.

Texas is a "red" state, which means that a lot of those people living check 
to check effectively voted against universal health coverage. This goes 
back to marketing and "death panels" -- the concept that mindless 
bureaucrats will decide your fate under universal care. Of course, 
privatized systems could, and have, make decisions that are just as 
draconian, but somehow people don't think of that.

I understood that the public information said "*not to call emergency 
before hardly breathing and lips turning blue* ?" it is that I call stupid, 
and I stand by it for the same reason you ask "HOW would you know what 
critical means". I believe we are in furious agreement. 

People need contact from multiple people regularly, and the need to be 
forearmed with questions to interrogate possible sufferers to get around 
misinformation/understanding and politeness. Of course insufficient 
attention may be a sad reality in an overstretched hospital system, but 
then para-medical volunteers may even be able to help with palliative care.

There's maybe (depending on sources) 200,000 ventilators in the U.S.

Just like Italy, America-- nor any other country I believe (I'm interested 
to see if Germany's bed capafcity is enough) is prepared for massive 
casualities (in this case sick),  Been known since the Cold War (& civil 
defense) and movies have touched on it.  When the article about Italy's 
health care system straining-- the doctors mentioned wartime casaulity 
rates (I rememcer that term from civil defense)

Despite what everyone thinks, America does have medical care for 
non-insured, disadvantaged (publically funded county hospitals that already 
overwhelmed)-- i've used it before-- its limited by funding and you get 
billed if not on a social program/financial assitance.  It will be 
overwhelmed just like private care-- NYC already called for assistance from 
the Federal Government because they already know they don't have the 
capacity.

The military is mobilizing 2 hospital ships and 1 full field hospital which 
raises another issue-- lack of health care staff, military reserves draw 
from the civilian population and those who are health care may already be 
engaged in the civilian health care system.

To say again. South Korea used phones & other surveillance tech to assist 
very effectively. Everyone was tracked. That is why it worked.

It is an important issue. Pretty central I think. 

Though SK had the infrastructure already, so we should not beat up on

All, 

Interesting conversation.

Birthe,

> emergency before hardly breathing and lips turning blue (The message people 
> ARE getting) . How hard would it be to phone for help?
>

Is this really happening *not to call emergency before hardly breathing and 
lips turning blue* ? This would be stupid, although one could imagine if 
the health system is overwhelmed. The percentage of people once infected 
that, have poor outcomes is low, so for many it will not be a problem, they 
just need to be quarantined. 

In Tracking mobile phones; If you are Quarantined with the virus and a 
temporary law says you must be quarantined and you are wandering around the 
streets putting others at risk it would make sense to detect your 
activities. But of course the problem is the misuse of the technology now 
or in the future. With any surveillance issue it often comes down to the 
execution and supportive laws, unfortunately future governments can change 
the laws.

All,
Use the words you want, Physical/Social Distancing. My point and that of 
the article is isolations and Quarantine is essential to reduce the peak in 
infection/hospitalisation, implementing isolations and Quarantine requires 
physical distancing, but as a community we must ensure social, emotional 
support for all in our society. 

Contact your elders and friends to say "Are you OK", if you are free to, 
deliver food outside someone's door, I just talked an elder through fixing 
the sound on her computer so she can receive electronic birthday wishes. 
Set up an open video connection with your children living elsewhere, or 
your grandchildren for a few hours, Call your parents daily, email people 
some entertainment, act as an advocate for someone disadvantaged and do 
some online shopping for someone without internet.

Also, 
This would be a good time to introduce a "Universal Basic Income"e"
 
Look after yourself and people near you, dear friends

TT,

I am not really worrying about how much money the health care businesses in 
the USA have or have not.

Do they have enough Intensive care beds ready to take care of people.
Surely part of the population has good insurance and would expect to be 
treated.

In my country a lot of the calculated resources are really adding the stuff 
from dentists, the vets, the private hospitals and specialists.
In a country wanting business as usual, those businesses would expect to 
continue life as normal and use their own equipmentOr is it only 
business as usual for some businesses?

Unless coroners are instructed to test the dead we won't know.

For instance a coroner focuses usually on immediate cause of death like 
"heart failure" or "respiratory inadequacy" etc. 
They don't go further without cause.

Decide on a code to hang outside your window indicating you are ill. Say a 
towel? A thought.

The point is to "flag" collective (local) awareness in some way. We live in 
societies mediated by people we don't know well for many services (like 
health).
Missing is RE-connecting in some way with people we do. Hopefully 
neighbours care. *An inter-neighbour signalling system*. Put your phone 
number on a sign outside the window? Speak to Jones across the road.

See what I getting at?

Balcony singing, sure. Anything else? Any other physical activity? Shouting 
across roads to neighbours? Waving?

The rest is ALREADY what hundreds of millions us do and have for years! 
"Virtual closeness" exists. 
Nothing new in that.
That is just an existing general trend. People are doing it. Unless they 
can't.

Post also still works here.

It does not obviate fact human beings experience social relations most via

Sure amelioration is good! Isn't it happening anyway by those who can? 
Everyone I know closely here (white, middle-class, middle-aged) are 
beavering away on social media. People can who sing have been sometimes.

But its amelioration, not a substitute for the missing direct connection.

And I think its easy to forget how many most vulnerable don't have the 
internet or smartphone or know how to use it.

Right. It is an excellent example of tension between "collective right to 
know about you" and "individual right to control you own life".

As far as I understand it South Korea used smart phone tracking very 
effectively, alongside other surveillance, including CCTV.

However that is in a context of sharing back data. They used social media 
to alert you of local "hotspot" areas to avoid using GPS.

They developed an infrastructure for it since the previous epidemics in the 
region. I doubt other countries would have that degree of integration 
quickly.

Doubt it. Its just I would say that once government gets right to do that 
kind of "consolidated tracking" it may be very difficult to reverse.

Italians and French people singing from balconies is coming together socially 
not physically as is a phone or Skype call. It is these social closeness 
activities that will help us deal with this crisis even if it occurs at a

Interesting short article that is likely wrong.

*Social distancing is mediated through physical distancing. *Its not a 
concept, it is a reality.

Sure, there may be some cultural variations on the psycho-social effects of 
distancing. 
Italy is a pretty "touchy-feely" society and physical distancing is 
obviously having profound negative consequences.

BTW, if you look back at Ebola one of biggest issues controlling it was 
that the African cultures involved comfort the dying. 
Being with the dying is (was) considered essential.
This is why anthropologists were used by WHO to try help work out a 
culturally acceptable way to distance.

There are considerable variations by country caused by the co-factor of 
social behaviours.
"Younger" cultures have different variants than "Older" countries as social 
behaviors differ. 
Because in West testing has been limited the infection matrix is only just 
emerging and still v. unclear.

To be brutal, the stats, are confusing & inadequate. 
They conflate social behaviours and outcome measures. Yes, some younger 
people need intensive care. BUT is that the same issue as overall 
predictive norms on critical infection of the whole population?
The problem with "Guesstimates" is that its like corralling the horse after 
its bolted. And the it bolts again. So the "guesstimate" gets accurate* 
eventually* post hoc, but now  as its largely ad hoc.

Being clear on emidemiological stats matters to planning effectively.

If I can figure it out I'll post a note on the stats bits that are clear 
enough.

Probably. The Lombardy region asked for volunteers and 3,000 retired, 
unemployed or part-time health care workers volunteered.
Several retired volunteer doctors died already.

Another factor is equipment & supplies. Fiat factories in Italy are tooling 
up for mask production since Italy does not currently produce its own.
Ventilators too with other companies.

*Hopefully capacity to cope will improve*. As will treatments. Alpha 
interferons look promising. Asian countries trialed them first in combo 
with other drugs. And Cuba has been for a long time (Cuba has more doctors 
working internationally than any other proportionately; and extensively 
worked with epidemics in recent decades).

Some cities in the West do have empty large buildings. Here we have a whole 
unused hospital. 
The rough thinking is to bring it back into use and use it specifically for 
covid for the region.

So a big issue, if not the issue, is to *increase capacity* so that 
survival rates improve. 

You are right that after lockdown the economy is likely to be damaged from 
trepidation. Italy is awash with family run tavernos. My small city (40k) 
has 40 of them just in the main city. Trepidation may well devastate them.

I asked friends to guess how many businesses here in Gorizia will never 
re-open, a kind of local bet. I guess 10% - 20%. They think it could be 
higher.

Right now I need dental treatment. Dentists are shut. If its an emergency I 
would have to risk the emergency hospital.

*Lock-down is about both coping now and capacity building for the future*. 
If you don't do that you can get in a viscous cycle.

If you don't get back to work too, as well as reduce social isolation, it 
may be worse.

Italy has High numbers of very old people who live alone totally unused to 
isolation. Who socialise daily and never before experienced this kind of 
situation.

I haven't been able to look yet at "consequent" factors like suicide rates.

Thank you for the kind words, it's obvious I'm not taking my

You are right about the younger ones. A lot of them need intensive care to 
survive.
Everywhere some people are living in denial, but really we are able to find 
estimates for each country. (Not testing enough, most will be based on 
"guesstimates".)

I believe people are thinking medicine/healthcare system will "fix" them if 
they get it-- I may be wrong but all they can do for you is supportive 
care-- there's no "fix" for Covid19 yet?

Folks,

I am a modern sceptic and this demands I be sceptical or all claims until I 
have evidence. Many of you raise serious concerns about Government or 
Business responses in the current situation. I also refuse to claim a 
specific left/right conservative/progressive ideology, because neither 
prepackaged ideologies, always respond to evidence. 

My sceptical brain also recognises a serious need to respond to this 
pandemic based on science. This science and history itself points to a need 
to have the population respond appropriately and consistently, and there is 
no other organisation than the Government in most countries, who can apply 
rules to every member of the population, all be it temporary.

Pandemics and disease in general, is by its nature about populations, we 
don't normally think of our self as part of a population we tend to 
restrict this to domestic farm animals and species in nature, or bacteria 
etc... It is not common for many of us to consider how we as an individual 
contribute towards the outcomes of the populations we live in. 

We should always be critical and sceptical, but we can "walk and chew gum" 
at the same time. We each need to recognise how we may need to temporarily 
put aside personal freedoms, in the interest of our whole societies.  I am 
however concerned that healthy scepticism can quickly turn to cynicism by 
the untrained, That may lead to unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, such 
"backlash approaches" could undermine any evidence based strategies and put 
at risk a large part of our populations.

Having being in the service of uncovering false claims, debunking 
conspiracy theorists, alt-med and anti-vax in society and the community, I 
can assure you if we do not dispute non-evidence based claims, from day one 
"false beliefs", by a less informed population can develop like a "pandemic 
of false ideas". As a responsible member of the Human race, we need to 
remain vigilant not only of others ideas, but the quality of our own ideas.

In Sydney we saw 20 and 30 somethings gathering in large numbers at the 
beach, big BBQ's and packed nightclubs, either ill informed or feeling 
immortal, when they should have known better, these things are now banned 
because individuals did not take responsibility, had they done so, these 
bans would not be in place (at least yet).

There is a direct relationship between how much individuals take individual 
responsibility and the need for the community/Government to take 
responsibility, if individuals do not. Increased freedom is a result of 
increased self responsibility. Freedom is useless to the dead.

Exercising one's individual freedom, to suspend some freedoms temporarily, 
in the interest of our communities, is the "measure" of good and 
intelligent people.

If humans wish to claim they are exceptional, and somewhat above raw in 
tooth and claw nature then, it is their own nature they need to question, 
and stand above.

Nature/the Universe/Gods have their laws and they are ever present, we will 
be victims of our own hubris if we are not careful. 

End of "informed rant"
Tony

I have had many encounters with Insurance companies throughout my life; 
none of them pleasant or profitable.

The most irritating was being declined because I took a test that proved I 
did not have a "prior" condition.  Turned out that taking the test was 
deemed to an "abnormal" act.  As a result I was declined.  The decline was 
noted in a database that is shared by all Insurance companies.  Being 
declined by one meant declined by all.

At this time, my only use of Insurance is for Business Succession planning 
which the Insurance monopoly lobby offers as an alternative that reduces 
taxation by government at time of death.

Fortunately, I am now in a position to be "self-insuring" for the majority 
of health needs.

Insurance would also like to know, where you shopped, when and what you 
shopped.
You smoked at some point in life. You have shopped some wine or alcohol no 
matter how often and how much. You are not eating the healthiest menu.
Conclusion you illness is your own fault, we can not cover you.

For years people having more seldom illnesses or multiple illnesses that we 
do not know enough about have been called Functional Disorders. In reality 
treated in more and more clinics by psychiatrists. "It is all in the inside 
of your head. It is your way of thinking."

Then people are not getting insurance and are left to themselves. Getting 
other symptoms, they are getting ignored largely.
lack of tests or knowledge before this diagnose is very dangerous. Do not 
get a cancer later in life.

It might be true for some people but not for the majority. In medical 
history many illnesses have been called hypochondria, but science later 
proved that not to be true.

Register science looking for data can be an important thing, but science 
used to be so much more.

That thought are not well received in the population. 

The comments are harsh or even worse, very sarcastic and black humoured.


They will certainly know where people are at any time. The homeworkers can 
make nice curves and tables, statistics and all that jazz. They will not 
know who are infected though, because that are not tested before people are 
entering hospital, and the hospitals stay where they were yesterday and the 
day before.

We now have a right wing party, what the are doing is socialist, at least 
for them, and given the different nature of the crisis perhaps even more 
government intervention than the GFC response. 

We have being called a "Socialist Democracy" by the thinkers for some time, 
though like everywhere else in the "west" we continue to become 
Americanised.

What ever actually happens does not change the clear need;
*to operate under the classic socialist model for a time, "from each as to 
their capacity, to each according to their need" *

I am boyed by the facts that Australia has the largest number of not for 
profit organisation and a volunteer workforces in the world. If that can 
help as they did during our fires we will mitigate the damage quite a bit.

A Gloom,

No it does not get any easier.
Old people are just young people living long enough to get old.
I do not understand, why we call old people weak. They were strong enough 
to survive long enough to get old.
They often have more illnesses, but it also takes years for many illnesses 
to develop and get diagnosed. No surprise then, that they are often 
diagnosed in the older group.
