A comparison of the current coronavirus with SARS and MERS. For reference, there were ~8000 cases of SARS during its peak (late 2002-2003), and about ~2500 cases of MERS. The identification of the current virus and public health responses have been substantially faster than with SARS, and based on early data it seems less virulent https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/202…
@darkives Based on this, it looks like the Bundesrat discussed the bill, gave their comments/amendements, and then forwarded to the Bundestag on Sept 20. It hasn't yet been discussed or passed by the Bundestag. As a caveat I'm an expat in Germany, so my knowledge of both German and the legal process are a little patchy.
Bundestag voted today and the measure passed, so I think this resolved positively: https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-oks-l…
Is it specified what source(s) will be used to determine the resolution?
A Phase 2 clinical trial on psilocybin for major depressive disorder recently started, but results are not anticipated until 2021. This is for MDD in general rather than end of life depression/anxiety, would FDA approval for this be counted as positive resolution? https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03866174
To clarify: will this be resolved positive if the epidemic ends, or if it does not end? The question is posted as "Will the current DRC Ebola outbreak end by February 2020", but the text below poses the opposite question: "Will the outbreak still be ongoing by the 29th of February 2020?" and the current resolution conditions seem to match that.
Their second pilot system was put out earlier this year. Their timeline indicates that the first second-generation plastic-catcher will be deployed in early 2020. https://theoceancleanup.com/updates/the-ocean…
@gjm I don't know if this is relevant, but if it's approved for MDD, it would probably be available (though not covered by insurance) via off-label prescription
The health dashboard rounds to the nearest tenth for the numeric values. Does this question refer to the month when the number given is 1.0, even if the value is below the line on the graph? Or only when it is above the line, indicating the ratio is >1.0?

"President Donald Trump is preparing to cancel tariffs scheduled to take effect Sunday on $160 billion worth of Chinese goods and roll back existing duties on billions of dollars of other imports as officials said the two countries are moving closer to a “Phase One” trade deal."

@AABoyles Wouldn't those scenarios count as "human interference"? The question says to assume humans don't intervene.
