data visualization data covid Trustworthy

  • incomplete or incorrect data can also muddy the waters, obscuring important nuances within communities, ignoring important factors such as socioeconomic realities, and creating false senses of panic or safety, not to mention other harms such as needlessly exposing private information.
  • Right now, bad data could produce serious missteps with consequences for millions.
  • Whether you’re a CEO, a consultant, a policymaker, or just someone who is trying to make sense of what’s going on, it’s essential to be able to sort the good data from the misleading — or even misguided.
  • ...24 more annotations...
  • common red flags
  • Data products that are too broad, too specific, or lack context.
  • Public health practitioners and data privacy experts rely on proportionality
  • only use the data that you absolutely need for the intended purpose and no more.
  • Even data at an appropriate spatial resolution must be interpreted with caution — context is key.
  • Simply presenting them, or interpreting them without a proper contextual understanding, could inadvertently lead to imposing or relaxing restrictions on lives and livelihoods, based on incomplete information.
  • The technologies behind the data are unvetted or have limited utility.
  • Both producers and consumers of outputs from these apps must understand where these can fall short.
  • In the absence of a tightly coupled testing and treatment plan, however, these apps risk either providing false reassurance to communities where infectious but asymptomatic individuals can continue to spread disease, or requiring an unreasonably large number of people to quarantine.
  • Some contact-tracing apps follow black-box algorithms, which preclude the global community of scientists from refining them or adopting them elsewhere.
  • These non-transparent, un-validated interventions — which are now being rolled out (or rolled back) in countries such as China, India, Israel and Vietnam — are in direct contravention to the open cross-border collaboration that scientists have adopted to address the Covid-19 pandemic.
  • Models are produced and presented without appropriate expertise.
  • Epidemiological models that can help predict the burden and pattern of spread of Covid-19 rely on a number of parameters that are, as yet, wildly uncertain.
  • n the absence of reliable virological testing data, we cannot fit models accurately, or know confidently what the future of this epidemic will look like
  • and yet numbers are being presented to governments and the public with the appearance of certainty
  • Read Carefully and Trust Cautiously
  • Transparency: Look for how the data, technology, or recommendations are presented.
  • Thoughtfulness: Look for signs of hubris.
  • Example: Telenor
  • Expertise: Look for the professionals. Examine the credentials of those providing and processing the data.
  • Open Platforms: Look for the collaborators.
  • technology companies like Camber Systems, Cubeiq and Facebook have allowed scientists to examine their data,
  • The Covid-19 Mobility Data Network, of which we are part, comprises a voluntary collaboration of epidemiologists from around the world analyzes aggregated data from technology companies to provide daily insights to city and state officials from California to Dhaka, Bangladesh
  • This pandemic has been studied more intensely in a shorter amount of time than any other human event.
  • Dennis OConnor on 10 May 20
     
    "This pandemic has been studied more intensely in a shorter amount of time than any other human event. Our globalized world has rapidly generated and shared a vast amount of information about it. It is inevitable that there will be bad as well as good data in that mix. These massive, decentralized, and crowd-sourced data can reliably be converted to life-saving knowledge if tempered by expertise, transparency, rigor, and collaboration. When making your own decisions, read closely, trust carefully, and when in doubt, look to the experts."

Don't "Flatten the Curve," stop it! - Joscha Bach - Medium - 1 views

Cognitive mit AI covid data visualization containment

shared by Dennis OConnor on 17 Mar 20 - No Cached
  • What all these diagrams have in common:
  • They have no numbers on the axes.
  • They don’t give you an idea how many cases it takes to overwhelm the medical system, and over how many days the epidemic will play out.
  • ...46 more annotations...
  • They suggest that currently, the medical system can deal with a large fraction (like maybe 2/3, 1/2 or 1/3) of the cases, but if we implement some mitigation measures, we can get the infections per day down to a level we can deal with.
  • They mean to tell you that we can get away without severe lockdowns as we are currently observing them in China and Italy.
  • nstead, we let the infection burn through the entire population, until we have herd immunity (at 40% to 70%), and just space out the infections over a longer timespan.
  • The Curve Is a Lie
  • suggestions are dangerously wrong, and if implemented, will lead to incredible suffering and hardship.
  • Let’s try to understand this by putting some numbers on the axes.
  • California has only 1.8.
  • The US has about 924,100 hospital beds (2.8 per 1000 people)
  • Germany have 8
  • South Korea has 12
  • Based on Chinese data, we can estimate that about 20% of COVID-19 cases are severe and require hospitalization
  • many severe cases will survive if they can be adequately provided for at home
  • by some estimates can be stretched to about a 100,000, and of which about 30,000 may be available
  • mportant is the number of ICU beds
  • oxygen, IVs and isolation
  • About 6% of all cases need a ventilator
  • if hospitals put all existing ventilators to use, we have 160,000 of them
  • CDC has a strategic stockpile of 8900 ventilators
  • number of ventilators as a proximate limit on the medical resources, it means we can take care of up to 170,000 critically ill patients at the same time.
  • Without containment, the virus becomes endemic
  • Let’s assume that 55% of the US population (the middle ground) get infected between March and December, and we are looking at 180 million people.
  • the point of my argument is not that we are doomed, or that 6% of our population has to die, but that we must understand that containment is unavoidable, and should not be postponed, because later containment is going to be less effective and more expensive, and leads to additional deaths.
  • About 20% will develop a severe case and need medical support to survive.
  • Severe cases tend to take about 3–6 weeks to recover
  • 6% may need intubation and/or ventilation
  • Once a person is on the ventilator, it often takes about 4 weeks for them to get out of intensive care again.
  • The “flattening the curve” idea suggests that if we wash our hands and stay at home while being sick aggressively enough, we won’t have to stop the virus from becoming endemic and infecting 40% to 70% of all people, but we can slow the spread of the infection so much that out medical system can deal with the case load. This is how our normally distributed curve looks like when it contains 10.8 million patients, of which no more than 170,000 are ill at the same time:
  • Dampening the infection rate of COVID-19 to a level that is compatible with our medical system means that we would have to spread the epidemic over more than a decade!
  • confident that we will have found effective treatments until the
  • reducing the infectivity of the new corona virus to a manageable level is simply not going to be possible by mitigation, it will require containment.
  • My back-of-the-envelope calculation is not a proper simulation, or a good model of what’s going on either. Don’t cite it as such!
  • Of the 180 million, 80% will be regarded as “mild” cases.
  • Containment works
  • China has demonstrated to us that containment works
  • lockdown of Wuhan did not lead to starvation or riots
  • made it possible to focus more medical resources on the region that needed it most
  • implemented effective containment measures as soon as the first cases emerged.
  • South Korea was tracking its first 30 cases very well, until patient 31 infected over 1000 others on a church congregation.
  • For some reason, Western countries refused to learn the lesson.
  • The US, UK and Germany are not yet at this point: they try to “flatten the curve” by implementing ineffective or half hearted measures that are only meant to slow down the spread of the disease
  • instead of containing it.
  • some countries will stomp out the virus and others will no
  • few months from now
  • almost all travel from red zones into green zones will come to a hal
  • world will turn into red zones and green zones
  • Flattening the curve is not an option for the United States, for the UK or Germany. Don’t tell your friends to flatten the curve. Let’s start containment and stop the curve.

    "When asked simple questions about global trends―what percentage of the world's population live in poverty; why the world's population is increasing; how many girls finish school―we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess teachers, journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers."

    "I talk about the developed and developing world all the time, but I shouldn't. My late friend Hans Rosling called the labels "outdated" and "meaningless." Any categorization that lumps together China and the Democratic Republic of Congo is too broad to be useful. But I've continued to use "developed" and "developing" in public (and on this blog) because there wasn't a more accurate, easily understandable alternative-until now."

    A large portion of the population is involved in providing unpaid care for a family member. However, not much is known about what caregivers are doing on a daily basis, what services and resources they use, and how they balance caregiving with work and personal life. Researchers at the MIT AgeLab has conducted an exploratory study to learn more about caregivers and the caregiving experience. The research process and results are presented in this website.

    It's hard to tell a complex story. At appointments, you feel pressured to remember what happened and tell your story in the right order. The details are often trapped in old medical records. Especially when visiting a new doctor, it's challenging to tell your whole life story.
