Data analysts have embarked on a new COVID automaton: It’s nonsense! – Topky

As of Monday, August 16, the first nine districts are on alert, in orange. These are the districts in the east of Slovakia – Stará Ľubovňa, Poprad, Spišská Nová Ves, Gelnica, Košice-okolie and Košice I-IV.

However, according to data analysts from the Data without Pathos project, the COVID automaton is not well set up. “We do not have a fortune-telling ball, but right at the design of the new COVID Vending Machine, we mentioned the Banská Štiavnica district with its 16,300 inhabitants as a meaningless example of pandemic management. “ wrote on social network. According to them, the competent authorities warned that the new COVID machine had taken over the very strict borders from the old one, and even tightened them up. In their opinion, the upper limits in the first two bands of the machine are too low.

BUM, and here it is!

“We warned that there could be 10 positive cases – not infectious, just infected cases in a small district and BUM, it’s here. We warned that the district would get 2 zones higher in one week and the green one would be red, ” I write data analysts. They also warned that the COVID rule of the machine that neighboring districts could only be 1 degree better is not right. This is due to the fact that there may no longer be a pandemic in them, but due to one worse district in the neighborhood, it will have a worse color.

“Welcome to Banská Štiavnica, where they have found 10 positives in the last 7 days. That is 57 per 100 thousand inhabitants, ” inform analysts, stating that it should therefore be in red. In the neighboring districts, which, based on the condition in the COVID vending machine in orange, the weekly incidence is as follows: “Left: 1, Žarnovica: 1, Krupina. 2, Žiar nad Hronom: 4, Elected: 10. A total of 5 districts with 1/4 million people and along with 18 positive in the last 7 days. These are 2 per day with permanent residence in these districts. And everyone will be orange from Monday, August 23, “ analysts say.

As a result, the entire region will be in orange, which indicates the degree of vigilance, while the joker, thanks to the vaccination of 50 or more years of age over 65 percent, does not have any of the districts. According to analysts, the limit for the joker is also extremely strict, and it should be at the maximum level of 60 percent of the vaccination of the most endangered group of the population – seniors.

“Restrictions on social life (events), economic (1 customer per 15 m2) and, of course, plans for the near future are unjustified. Neither pandemically, nor virologically, nor epidemiologically, and we are data analysts. If it was the flu, it would be declared an epidemic in 1,500 cases per week per 100,000 inhabitants. that’s 200 times more so you don’t have to count it, “ analysts pointed out, adding that it is necessary for a competent COVID vending machine to look before most of Slovakia is in red or burgundy. And this despite steadily low numbers.

Is that an intention?

As they subsequently stated, Slovakia is currently the third best country in Europe with 87 cases from PCR tests in 7 days per million population. “A we have had closed borders for tourists for 5 weeks. Only Hungary and Poland are better, the Czech Republic is behind us. So the situation is very good in the whole region and in our neighbors. And all neighboring countries (except Ukraine) are mega well vaccinated and better than us in Slovakia. And in Slovakia we also vaccinate an average of 4,000 first-time vaccineers a day in August, “ explained. According to them, despite their predictions, no pandemic tsunami is taking place in Hungary after Easter or a football match.

“We were right with Banská Štiavnica and the problem on the map is also the orange-colored regional cities: Bratislava, Trnava, Trenčín, Žilina, Banská Bystrica and Košice. No one but Bratislava knows and will not soon be able to use a joker thanks to vaccination and stay green. Nobody. Although the vaccination rate is about 60% for 50 years and older, ” they stated that they did not model the increase in the number of infected people by epithet and that is why we are flying in red. “Only that would be the intention. But we don’t believe that. Or do you?“ they ask. In the end, they suggested to the regional hygienist in Banská Štiavnica that he use his right and leave Banská Štiavnica in green, at worst in orange. “But it would be a shame, too.” concluded.
