"A few days ago, a peer-reviewed research article was published online by the science journal Cell, one of the world’s top molecular biology journals. The article was authored by pro-vaccine researchers at Stanford University and elsewhere. As part of their research, the researchers tracked how long mRNA from the vaccines persisted in the body.

Contrary to Collins’ previous assertion, the mRNA did not disappear in “a few hours,” a few days, or even a few weeks. In fact, mRNA from the vaccine persisted in a person’s lymph system some two months after vaccination. We actually don’t know how much longer it lasted because the researchers only tracked the mRNA for that long."

Instead...:

"A jury elected on objective real-world criteria... they'd operate as a offchain body"

"... some game theory as to why they would actually tell the truth ... a combination of professional liability w/ Michelin points and economic incentives"

Using Quantum Computing uncertainty to run stochastic methods (pharmaceutical) => Ok

Using Quantum Computing uncertainty to replay another uncertainty (finance) => Not Ok

We already knew it way before the study: mortality rate Covid-19 = 1.5%. 40.000 deaths. 100*40000/1.5 = 2.600.000 infected => 5% prevalence (Spain population 47 million)
The mere fact of getting an alert of a possible positive contact would lead to stigmatization. Under a de-escalation scenario with social distancing measures, it is not difficult to find out who was the source of contagion, no matter the privacy protection scheme of the app. This is a faulty design of any contact tracing app.

The goal of a contact tracing app is to incentive self-quarantine of new contagions. But the possible outcome taking into account social effects is stigmatization. The error of this approach could be letting positives being out of confinement spreading alert events and virus at will.

An immunology passport app is the resource needed to avoid this situation, guarantying social environments are free of potential sources of contagion.

Massive testing and immunity passport is the tool to find out and isolate infected people while avoiding stigmatization and privacy violations. Turning neighbors into prosecutors is not a good idea.

Social distancing just flattens the curve. Lockdown lifting necessarily implies a second wave unless Suppression is applied.

They forgot to say we have just achieved 6% of herd immunity, implying at least 435,000 more deaths.

Re:Ask HN: What will be a solution for Corona? on Wednesday April 01, 2020 @06:54AM (#22747438)
I understand these 3 solutions belong to European strategy: "Mitigation".

Asia is performing another strategy: "Suppression" tracing every one single positive case in their countries. In a few months they will be able to walk by the street knowing there is no even one single positive case out of quarantine in the whole country to be afraid of. This way they can wait two years or more to a global solution and minimal interference in their daily lives.

Pronóstico para España, peor que el de Italia en Mayo de 2020, 45.000 víctimas. El pico llegaría a mediados de Abril con 2.200 víctimas diarias.
