Offered publicly on the e-learning platform Coursera, the five-hour course is now open for enrollment and runs March 31 through April 14. This free, beginner-level course is designed for those who want a better understanding of how epidemiologists identify and measure infectious disease outbreaks such as COVID-19. The course aims to explore the science behind pressing questions such as how many people have been infected, how infections are identified and measured, how infectious is the virus, and what can be done to combat it. The course is led by three epidemiologists from the Bloomberg School of Public Health: Gypsyamber D'Souza, professor of epidemiology Justin Lessler, associate professor of epidemiology Emily Gurley, associate scientist in the Department of Epidemiology Link to the free course Bumping this since the course opens up today. I plan on doing it but probably won't have time to start until this weekend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 This topic is about to be locked again. Drop the insults. Stop the veiled political comments. Stop the bickering. We all know who are the conservatives and who are the liberals on this forum. Most of you have been posting here for a decade. There is no reason to keep up the back and forth political bickering. You aren't going to change each others minds and no one else wants to read about it. Stop it now. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mission27 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Big spike in France # today. Wonder if there was a change in criteria or a lot of tests got processed or a sign that they are further behind compared to Italy and Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be really interested to see information based on population density of the world and how they’re doing. Looks like Italy is the 22nd highest in population density, which would make sense. South Korea though... Second highest and they’re doing better than most countries. How reliable is their information please don’t get into it I’m just asking for the love of God.

There is some.... problematic relationships between government and corporations, which is pretty similar to the US, or other like countries. South Korea has a lot of experience dealing with this type of thing. It was ground zero for the last big epidemic, MERS. Was hit hard by SwineFlu, Birdflu etc. So it shouldn't be a surprise they handled things well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got on top of things right away 2. They tested extensively 3. They were already used to wearing masks and being aware of spreading diseases before this started 4. Their culture promotes following these sorts of rules 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this was brought up a few pages ago. Australia's population density is skewed because there are large parts of the country (i.e. the middle) where almost nobody lives I would imagine the population density in the places people actually live (like New South Wales) is probably pretty similar to Europe and North America. Given that's where the people are and that's where the cases are, that would be a better way to look at it Its the same deal with the US... if you look at the total people / total area we are one of the less dense developed countries, but a lot of Americans live in places like New York and Chicago and Dallas and LA where population density is not any lower than it is in cities in Europe, so the fact that we have big chunks of land where nobody lives in Alaska is irrelevant to how quickly this will spread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would need to look at their population centers. A lot of the country isn't habitable under normal circumstances by humans. A lot of it is desert or grazing fields.

Even when I left in 2018, they still had advisory information about Ebola in the airports. Edited March 31, 2020 by animaltested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
