Together with a data scientist friend of mine, I just build a small application see: https://corona-virus-chart.co/calculator that let you evaluate the risk of survival based on different criteria such as age, pre-existing condittion, when someone get affected by the coronavirus...
It is a very simple app (we try our best to keep it simple), that can give some insight, and evaluation about the risk someone can get into.
We are looking for someone to partner up with in terms of promotion, specially social media promotion, since we are 2 techy guys.
Cheers
Don't you think, it gonna create panic among people?
Yes and no. I live currently in Lima (Peru), where the governement declare the state of emergency, meaning that everybody should stay at home, and are allowed to get out only for strict necessity such as food and pharmacies. Every else is closed (no bars, no restaurants) and not many people are allowed to go to work. So everything is fine.
IN my opinion, things will get havoc when ressource are becoming sparse. So far, there is no shortage of food (paper toilet and soap yes), but it is totally manageable. The day where food start to become sparse, are the infection rate is getting higher to the point you cannot trust anyone, then things will change. But as long as people can live their lives (enough food, no shortage of electricity, water) things will be fine.
And last, according to the statistics, 80% of the people that will get the virus will be fine, so, unless you are old, or have a pre-existing condition (see: https://corona-virus-chart.co/calculator) , there is no need to be scared
Hello Novusteck, I just checked out the calculator and I'm really impressed. Just like you stated, simple and meaningful; you get to know your chances of survival based on past conditions...awesome. I know someone that be of help to promote your application. If you're interested, please email me at ejike.br@gmail.com
Thank you. I just send you an email
Looked on the calculator. Appreciate the simplicity. But on what research, are you trying to estimate the fatality. Standard journal reference should be given. May be we can help if you can give reference as most of our social media audience is healthcare professionals. They will definitely ask about the source...
I am taking the information from different sources such as:
