5/24/2020 MoL Scores:

Methodology and disclaimer: MoL score is a simple metric for measuring rate of spread of the novel coronavirus within communities.  The metric was developed by mission and TLO and has not been subjected to academic peer review.  The MoL looks at a trailing average of daily new cases and compares this to trailing active cases within the community.  These rankings do not represent the opinion of anyone other than mission and TLO and should not be taken as advice of any kind.  Please note while the numbers themselves are objective calculations, smugness and Taylor Swift lyrics may factor into our commentary and decisions on tiers.  The MoL reserves the right to make changes to this methodology at any time.  Please follow all relevant governmental and/or WHO/CDC guidance.  We will defeat this virus.

"We're happy, free, confused and lonely in the best way. It's miserable and magical, oh yeah“

- Taylor Swift

I am smug.

Tier 1: Outbreak under control, safe to begin relaxing social distancing measures

Tier 1 countries are pretty,... pretty... pretty good

How to safely open up in Tier 1? Take a look at the MoL method for proper easing, otherwise known as the MoL public health cost benefit matrix.

Israel: 0.4

Netherlands: 0.4

France: 0.5

Belgium: 0.8

Japan: 0.7

Italy: 0.9

UK: 0.9

Portugal: 1.0

New Zealand: 1.3

Spain: 1.4

Australia: 1.7

Switzerland: 1.8

USA: 2.1 

Sweden: 2.2

South Korea: 2.2

Philippines: 2.4

Ireland: 2.4

Czech Republic: 2.5

Singapore: 2.7

Turkey: 3.0

Germany: 3.5

Austria: 3.6

China: 4.5

Hong Kong: 5.1

Tier 2: New case growth is minimal suggesting social distancing is working, likely a few weeks away from breaking into tier 1

Tier 2 countries aren't  doing as well as Tier 1 countries, but eh, we'll give 'em a pass, why not!  Especially since Larry doesn't want to get fatwahed again.

Global: 3.1

Canada: 3.4 

Russia: 4.2

Denmark: 5.4

Tier 3: Countries in this group that are showing increased MoLs have the potential to go deep into the danger zones, but countries with falling MoLs may only be a couple of days from tier 2 status and may have already peaked in gross # of new cases

These countries could really do a lot better if they followed common decency standards, like washing their hands or respecting wood 

India: 11.0

Iran: 11.8

Brazil: 13.4

Tier 4: Aggressive growth, still likely have not peaked in single day cases, and likely a week or two minimum from peak in deaths (however many of these countries are still slowing down)

We feel very bad for the last Tier 4 country remaining on our list, the Mexico.  Its like that time Funkhauser became an orphan at 60 (RIP Funkhauser).

Mexico: 26.1

USA State Level MoLs

MoL Deaths

Another solid drop in the death rate which is now 44% below the all-time high of a month ago.  great job!

Has anyone been tested for Covid? And if so why?

My wife is all worried because I’ve had headaches/body aches and a sore throat for a few days and now i have a fever. Plus with a little one in the house she has me quarantined in our room. Just wondering how you made the decision to get tested? Like you put yourself in harms way to get tested assuming you’re negative but if you’re positive its best to fine out sooner right?

If this falls under the medical advice type of question I apologize

If you’ve had a known exposure or are concerned, it may be worth it.

You could also just have another viral infection or strep.

Do you have insurance?  Many insurers are doing free virtual visits right now.  With a virtual visit they can diagnose, prescribe meds (antibiotics if needed) and order Covid testing.

That would be my advice.
