20211129: COVID19 Cases & death : data link
由於 COVID-19，2020 年沒有那麼多深橄欖綠。
我很慶幸我住在台灣。
2021年年底，我不禁想，明年很多國家的顏色會不會是戲劇性的變化。
通過將“世界人口地圖”和另一個地圖圖層與經濟學人的 2020 年民主指數(EIU index)重新混搭來製作此地圖。
同時，增加世界人口比例作為後設資料一部分，現在地圖可顯示 EIU 分數和每個國家所占世界人口比例。

Dark olive green, not so many in 2020 as a result of COVID-19.
I am thankful that I live in Taiwan.
At the end of the year, 2021, I can’t help thinking whether the color change of many countries next year will be dramatic .
I just play a mapping via remixing "The cartogram of the World Population" and a further map layer with the Democracy Index 2020 of the Economist Intelligence .
By adding the world share of the population as part of the metadata, the map now can show the EIU score and the world share of each country.

[2021-11-20&21，這個星期六日發生了什麼？]
COVID-19 Confirmed Cases: 2020-11-20 vs 2021-11-20
2 years later, we still don't "Know when to fight and when not to fight" ?
COVID-19 確診病例：2020-11-20 與 2021-11-20
2年過去了，我們還是不知 “何時該奮戰，何時不該奮戰”？
And then, the consequences of #Close(Open(Close(Open(Close(Open))))) ... ?
然後，#關(開(關(開(關(開))))) 的後果......？

More and more data show that the current COVID-19 vaccines are not as effective as their early claims for preventing people from getting severe disease and death. Since the vaxxed in current countries like Israel, UK and USA are the majority, the growing numbers of death and ICU patients are the data we do not want to see after 20 months.
Now, is the mid-summer. What will happen in this winter … and what else can we do?
Let’s review some not-that-controversial methods (breaking the infection chains) to see if people can do something about this serious situation. Fig 1 shows the COVID-19 Stringency Index of Israel, UK and USA from Our World in Data. This index is a composite measure based on 9 response indicators including :
1. school closures;
 |
| Fig 1 |
2. workplace closures;
3. cancellation of public events;
4. restrictions on public gatherings;
5. closures of public transport;
6. stay-at-home requirements;
7. public information campaigns;
8. restrictions on internal movements;
9. international travel controls.
After May 25, 2021, these three countries started to reopen their COIVD-19 restrictions based on their vaccine confidence. However, the good times seem to be short-lived ...

Fig 2 and Fig 3 reveal the data of the COVID-19 ICU patients and death after the reopening.
But people have been vaccinated and do not like to go back to the "breaking the infection chains" life, even wearing a mask is still in debates (if you like to see visual representations for the importance of the mask wearing, here is for you). Then, what else can we do without compromising the social economy risks ?
The key is testing, and this rule is not only for the unvaxxed but also for the vaxxed.
Lower mortality and serious illness of COVID-19 can be made by early recognition.
This rule is particular important when we see the recent UK Technical briefing 20 (Table 5, page 18) which shows that the fully vaccinated people are the majority of the death [1].
While "the Delta variant seems to produce the same high amount of virus in both unvaccinated and fully vaccinated people. " and "fully vaccinated people with Delta variant breakthrough infections can spread the virus to others." [2], the early recognition of COVID-19 once again becomes the best strategy to prevent the COVID severe disease and death.
Now we have more tools, experienced medical people and better medicines. Regular tests can help to protect yourself and your love ones, even for the fully vaxxed.
