1/ Covid (@UCSF) Chronicles, Day 122
@UCSFHospitals: 29 pts, 8 vented (Fig L). Sadly, 1 more death, so 2 in last 3d (after none for ~1 mth). Test positivity stable at 2.1%; asymptomatic rate ticked up to 1.1% (highest I can recall); rate among pts w/ symptoms down to 5.65% (R).
Just out: new study from @JAMA_current: of 143 patients discharged from hospital with #COVID19 (average age 56), only 13% were symptom-free an average of 2 months later. Fatigue, trouble breathing, joint pain, chest pain in >20%. https://t.co/KKwfpHnQHJ

Suppose you have cancer and you have to choose between a black box AI surgeon that cannot explain how it works but has a 90% cure rate and a human surgeon with an 80% cure rate. Do you want the AI surgeon to be illegal?
