mitigation vs suppression strategy Covid19...

Per capita comparisons are interesting.

The Wuhan event resulted in virus detections per capita
in the 54ppm range at the end of its containment excercises
in which the resources of the whole country were applied.

In the US, Sweden and Peru, detections are over 5000ppm, at
present, without containment.

China would have had to experience 100 Wuhans, to match this,
and detections indicate a 2x Wuhan-level event for every day
that records are kept in those nations.

It\'s not unreasonable to question whether containment is
possible, at this late stage.

A 100ppm daily detection rate would, in one year, result in
an approximately 4% penetration within the population.

Recently Chile has reported virus penetration of 1.5% after
four months. Fatality rates of covid sufferers is reported
to be below 3%.

Median age in US and Russia is 38.7 and 37.6yrs respectively.
Median age in Canada, UK and Sweden is 40-41yrs.
Median age in Germany and Italy is 45-46yrs.
Median age in Peru and Mexico is 27.5yrs.
Median age in Chile and Brazil is 33.7 and 31.3yrs respectively.
Median age in South Africa is 25yrs.

\"Half life\" of what? Spreading factors are mostly changed by human behavior, which can change rapidly as the situation changes, and even more rapidly depending on what the media decides to hype.

> Seems to me such data would be very useful.

It would be useful , if the thing being measured stayed the same for long enough for the researchers to be able to collect enough data to get a statistically reliable result.

In places where tests for Covid-19 throw up 5% or less positive results, they do give a tolerably reliable measure of the number of people who have got infected. Contact tracing can give you a handle on how they got infected, and if you can keep track of their contacts you can get some idea of how many people they\'d managed to infect before they got tested, but the US has a lot too many infections to allow thorough contact tracing.

The life of the virus in free space isn\'t long, but with a
two week asymptomatic period, you\'d have to ask everybody
to hold their breath for two weeks (and not to develop
symptoms in the meantime) to end the life of the pandemic.
