The rise in Brazil is no longer exponential, WHO Executive Director Michael Ryan said in a press conference Friday. There is a plateau, there is an opportunity here now for Brazil to push the disease down, to suppress the transmission of the virus, to take control, he said, adding that it will take sustained, concerted action. The Latin American nation trails only the U.S. in coronavirus infections and deaths globally, with almost 78,000 fatalities. The countrys response -- no national guidelines, two health ministers who departed and a leader that has often belittled the disease -- has been criticized by health experts and by the WHO itself. President Jair Bolsonaro said last month the government was considering withdrawing from the international health agency, following the move of U.S. President Donald Trump. That is amazing. If they can do it the US can too. --- Edmonton Oilers winning a draft is like giving a homeless person money but knowing they are going to spend it on drugs and alcohol- Xunolix <cite>FreezerDoor posted [p:942277445] in WHO Says B...

Bio1590 07/18/20 5:16:13 PM #11:	BlockAddition posted... Yeah it sure looks flat to me That's not what they're talking about. They're talking about the daily new case curve, not total cases. Here is Brazil's: https://i.imgur.com/ZD0ucNG.png If you look at their 7-day moving average it has been fairly "flat" since the end of June, so for roughly 3 weeks now they've seen practically no daily growth in confirmed number of cases. This is what they mean by "plateaued" and why they're saying Brazil now has an opportunity to actually start reducing the daily number of confirmed cases. In your diagram, this would show as the slope of the line being flat and expressible in a y=mx+b format. Were the growth still exponential you'd need to use y=ab^x (or similar) to express it. You will still see growth, no matter what, in the total number of confirmed cases. By contrast, here is what the US' looks like https://i.imgur.com/OcIfX1L.png --- https://imgur.com/bbRWLI8 https://imgur.com/A0BErSV https:/i.imgur.com/S1m3po4.jpg https://imgur.com/7fCcfko <cite>Bio1590 posted [p:942278887] in WHO Says B...
