Positive COVID-19 cases in Michigan

Michigan positive COVID cases are growing linearly rather than exponentially. This linear growth and high 32% positive suggest limited test availability and that this is an underestimate.

Response to COVID-19 in Taiwan

Big Data Analytics, New Technology, and Proactive Testing

Published 3rd March 2020

Taiwan’s government learned from its 2003 SARS experience and established a public health response mechanism for enabling rapid actions for the next crisis. Well-trained and experienced teams of officials were quick to recognise the crisis and activated emergency management structures to address the emerging outbreak. Given the continual spread of COVID-19 around the world, understanding the action items that were implemented quickly in Taiwan and assessing the effectiveness of these actions in preventing a large-scale epidemic may be instructive for other countries.
