*Note: These were the fake blood volumes quoted 12 years ago when I was first researching fake blood data. I have noticed the numbers on various chat platforms have inflated the volumes in the last 12 years.
*Note: Rounding off the initial volume eg. 0.06 pint (0.028L) then up-scaling that volume to 36,000 pints (17,000L) introduces a significant error in the final calculations.
Tarantino, being a connoisseur of Fake Blood, used several types of Fake Blood in the film Kill Bill II ranging from good splatter to free-flowing blood. According to one fanzine, in this film, Uma Thurman killed 88 opponents with a sword. So the numbers(above)are in the right ‘blood-soaked’ ballpark. More survival math (The Hunger Games)here.
The pandemic has launched a data storm. But some numbers cut through this white out. Despite following the numbers closely I was shocked by the following headline on the front on The Washington Post a few weeks ago.
Using data from the WorldometerWebsite, I thought it would be interesting see how other countries compare with the USA. America has already dropped below this grim marker. And low is not the way to go!!!!
There is a lot of middle school maths in fashion from design, to fabrication to costing. But it’s much more fun to see some of the maths in the NY MET GALA outfits.
London yesterday. Spectators give a spontaneous standing ovation to Oxford Professor Sarah Gilbert (below), who was one of the scientists involved in developing the Astra-Zeneca vaccine and one of 100 key worker special guests on opening day. (The Age, 29 JUN, 2021)
Here are the Covid-19 Vaccination stats for the UK as of yesterday:
The UK recorded 22, 868 cases yesterday, but only 3 deaths.
The last time the UK recorded close to 23,000 cases was on 16 December 2020. That day, 613 deaths were announced. (The Age, 29 JUN 2021)
In 2019, in the UK, the total death toll was 616,014 or 1688 per day. Tragically but realistically elderly patients with multiple health issues are more likely to contract Covid and die from complications exacerbated by Covid-19 but not necessarily caused by the virus.
The death toll numbers are now encouragingly low in the UK despite the high infection rates from the highly contagious Covid Delta variant.
UPDATE:
On 9 July 2021, the UK recorded 35,707 cases and 29 Deaths. According to Worldometer stats (below), the case numbers and deaths are still rising. Too soon to celebrate even though the UK Freedom Day is only 10 days away.
Mathspig has tracked the Covid 19 Stats through the Worldometertracker and calculated the AVERAGE NO. DEATHS per day at the50, 60, 70, 80,100 , 200DAY and the 1 YEARmark ..
and now at the 500 DAY mark.
Note: Approx 1/3 of deaths around the world are due to accidents, diseases other than Covid, or suicide.
Aviation Aerospace Australia has produced an amazing Video Here to show girls what careers are available in the aviation and aerospace industries. Mathspig has met 3 female Boeing Engineers and a female engineer that worked on the Williams Formula 1 car.
An information brochure (link below) that goes with the video gives subject advice and income ranges over a lifetime career:
According to the AstraZeneca Media Release, 22 March 2021, “The AstraZeneca US Phase III trial of AZD1222 demonstrated statistically significant vaccine efficacy of 79% … based on 32,449 participants accruing 141 symptomatic cases of COVID-19. The trial had a 2:1 randomisation of vaccine to placebo.”
“A careful review of all available safety dataof more than 17 million people vaccinated in the European Union (EU) and UK with COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca has shown no evidence of an increased risk …”
An updated company analysis of the coronavirus vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford showed that the two-shot regimen was robustly effective — 76 percent at preventing symptomatic illness — according to a news release from the drugmaker late Wednesday.
Among people 65 and older, the vaccine was 85 percent effective, the company reported.
UK plus & 30 EU countries have administered 34 million AstraVeneca doses and report a blood clot condition in 222 patients and 18 fatalities.
Risk Factor for blood clots = 1: 153,000
Risk of death ~ 1: 2,000,000
Many countries including Australia advise the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine for the 50+ age group as the blood clot condition appears mostly in younger patients.
