About the World Analysis: It is more practical to manage a pandemic at the country or even local level. Especially as regards to lockdown, as it is costly to apply. However a useful overview is possible at a global level. Just don’t take the unlock percentages too literally. |

Things you might need Pulse Oximeter – People do not
realize they are not getting enough oxygen.
They don’t struggle to breathe.
But blood oxygen plummets into low 80s or 70s and they are too far
gone before seeking help. Read reviews
and get one that is reliable and accurate.

available in most drug stores, or by mail order: Also useful at
high altitude, if you have pneumonia, etc. |

Humidifier – COVID-19 spreads
much faster in low humidity. If you
live in a desert, or a cold climate where heating reduces humidity, and
someone in your household is sick, you’ve probably already thought of wearing
masks and gloves. But did you think if
using a humidifier? Most of them are
not very good. Be sure to get a good
one.

Webcam – It is essential to keep in
touch with family and friends while isolating, and your school or business
might require Zoom or Skye meetings.
If you have an old webcam like I did recently, you have no idea how
they have improved. Both sound and
picture are much better.
The better webcams are $100-$200 and mostly out of
stock! I have a Logitec that works great, but it is always on my wife’s
computer. Are their any decent webcams
for less? I looked at a bunch under
$40. Most have some problem if you
read the reviews closely. This was the
only one I saw without a big negative in the reviews. I bought one. Picture is great. Sound is OK. · Under $40 webcam with good reviews, 1080p, 30 fps (not for gaming) |
Special FAST recovery option for Low Group If followed, this profile would get the low-cases countries out of trouble by stimulating case growth to within their capacity, then freezing the cases level with a sharp re-lock lasting two months. It then uses a rapid two additional unlock steps to guide immunity to the threshold without overshoot. · Deaths in low group on optimal track: less than half a million. · On too slow or too fast tracks: .8 to .93 million. · Assumes 12/1 vaccination start.

SUMMARY ·
STABILITY: Many countries were already unstable
pre-COVID, some for a long time, some since the financial crisis of 2008-9,
with active civil wars and mass migrations.
The economic stress of lockdown is many times that of the financial
crisis, and the social stress of double-digit millions of loss of life might
be as well. We could see a precipitous
decline with a quarter billion people starving, and things not normalized
before the middle of the century, when other problems might be upon us. The issue is cascading problems. ·
MORTALITY is coming
down and death estimates are dramatically cut from our last forecast. It is less in the low group (countries with
few cases so far), but most of the decline seems to be already in place with
the trend slowed. It might not be so
advantageous to wait for fall for the Low Group as for the High Group
(countries with a lot of cases like Europe and the US). ·
CASE PACING we
take from the existing situation, especially for the MODERATE scenario. Outside
the US but in the High Group there will likely be a near term peak in High Group cases in the second half of the summer,
building into the fall. The Low
group is afraid to have cases and so will have to stay locked down for two
years. This is bad news. We think more than one country will go
unstable, if now while COVID is active, then shortly after. People may be forgiving on the economy
while it is active. Without recovery,
they will revolt. ·
Recommendation: The high cases
group should remain as unlocked as possible. Otherwise there will be an embarrassing peak
even after vaccination begins.
