Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional, laymen terms. I collect information for personal consumption below and will keep it updated. Too much noise currently.

Updates

  • 26.03.2020: Added Spread and Containment Simulator
  • 27.03.2020: Added tested and proven 3D Prints; Added further national dashboards. Fixed the estimated percentages of asymptomatic infections. Clarified terminology (Symptomatic, Asymptomatic, Infected, Ill). Added "From the horse's mouth" section - on the ground reports.
  • 29.03.2020 : Added details on why the mortality rate is so different from country to country. In Section Statistics.
  • 30.03.2020 : Added Ventilator Pumps Open source designs and information on Disinfecting 3D Prints in the section "What can I do ?" Added interview with Professor Kim Woo-joo from Korea University Guro Hospital in "Videos to watch".
  • 31.03.2020 : Added statistics showing the daily number of cases instead of a logarytmic/cumulative approach in statistics. If you want to see these for your country head over to this dashboard: https://nssac.bii.virginia.edu/covid-19/dashboard/
  • 01.04.2020 : Added COVID-Trends (Thanks to @memgrinder) and CoronaVirus Forecast (Thanks to @GunstickULM) in Statistics.
  • 25.04.2020 : Added Graphs based on the projections of the UNI.LU For Luxembourg

Terminlogy

A striking number of officials can't get their terminology right making some of their statements and statistics void of any meaning hence I will use the following  :
  • SARS-CoV-2 is the name of the particular Coronavirus strain we are seeing now.
  • COVID-19 is the respiratory disease caused by the virus NOT the name of the virus
  • "Infected" = Infected with the virus (Could be symptomatic OR unsymptomatic)
  • "Sick" or "ill" = Infected and suffering from COVID-19 (Symptomatic)
  • Infected does not equal Sick (Symptomatic) 
Problems with the current statistics - a different way to count Infections. Meaningless terminology like counting "healed". Healed from what? COVID-19 ?
Some countries and/or Media only publish cumulative Dashboards. Below you'll find Germany and Luxembourg (both opting for enforced social distancing) - you see indicators that the initiatives work, a flattening of the curve.




Projections for Luxembourg

Simulation based on Luxembourg continuing the lockdown
“(...) midterm projections for Luxembourg predicting the number of assumed positive Covid-19 cases, ICU demands and deaths cases for a continued Lockdown. The projections are obtained by a stochastic agent based epidemiological model and gives for each average value also a 90% confidence interval.”


Simulation based on Luxembourg stopping the lockdown on May 4th

“(...) midterm projections for Luxembourg predicting the number of assumed positive Covid-19 cases, ICU demands and deaths cases for a scenario of a general exit on May 4th. The projections are obtained by a stochastic agent based epidemiological model and gives for each average value also a 90% confidence interval.”


Simulation based on Luxembourg stopping the lockdown  with Backtracing

“(...) midterm projections for Luxembourg predicting the number of assumed positive Covid-19 cases, ICU demands and deaths cases for a scenario of a release of 63k workers on April 20th with initial testing or 25% effective backtracking. The projections are obtained by a stochastic agent based epidemiological model and gives for each average value also a 90% confidence interval.”

From the Horses Mouth

  • NY - 25/03 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE68xVXf8Kw
    An emergency room doctor in Elmhurst, Queens, gives a rare look inside a hospital at the center of the coronavirus pandemic. “We don’t have the tools that we need.”

Common Symptoms

  • Fever
  • Cough and Respiratory Difficulties
  • Loosing smell or taste <-

Disinfectant DYI:

  • 4 Parts Rubbing Alcohol (Isopropanol) 
  • 1 Part Water
  • 1 Part Citric Acid (smell)
The above kills virii and is nothing else then what is in commercially available disinfectants.
