Disposable shortages

To reuse the mask or not

The cost of single use

Risk has three parts: The odds you will get hit, the average consequences of getting hit, and the tail-end consequences of getting hit.

The odds of the masks spreading the virus vs the infections that could expound.

Do Riches mean endless food at the party or endless masks on a rainy day?

What money cant buy? Extreme preparedness for all. Efficiency all the time.

We teach our children the mathematics of certainty—geometry and trigonometry—but not the mathematics of uncertainty, statistical thinking.

How many doctors?

Increase the pool of doctors

How many masks?

Donations from Dentistschurches

Atleast enough for the frontline. This sounds like cricket where we need to take care of our best batsmen and bowlers.

How many ventilators?

Dyson Building 15000 new ventilators to fight covid-19

How many ICUS?

The best Number of beds per 100000 people is 68.

How many kits?

 Is Centralized Diagnostic system efficient for massive testing? Match 120000 per week.

Ideally 328 million (need the right census) or sometimes multiples.

Going forward we need innovation for cases like this, where durability is needed. Imagine a Tesla style software updateable testing kit. Which is the route? Cost of Diagnosis vs Cost of Cure? With the amount of data that there is, can vulnerable populations be prioritised for checking?

100000 can be taken care of

How all the social distancing helps

Levenshtein automaton what-is-tf-idf  Term frequency - inverse document frequency. Faceted search  vs  Filtering

Stories in Blockchain

In  Whats next for blockchain ,  Robbie Mitchnick, BlackRock’s blockchain lead demystifies some of the stories of Blockchain. Cryptocurrency is an application of Blockchain. "   it’s really not so much a story of people overestimating the usefulness of the technology as it is one of people underestimating the difficulty of implementing it.  " " I would say wherever you have data siloed across multiple systems, and you have multiple parties that need to interact, to read and write to that data, then you have a recipe for potentially an impactful blockchain use case." Bitcoin is to blockchain, as email is to the Internet " Blockchain technology will fundamentally change how transparency and authenticity are derived with anything from food, to ownership of vehicles, to verifying memorabilia, to personal identification due to continuing centralized companies being hacked." - Tampa Conference  “The Past, Present and Future of Blockchain and C...
