Want to learn JavaScript ?

Here's a Detailed Roadmap for you 🧵👇

1. Start with
https://t.co/LUATAaPiaW's - JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures Certification and finish the "Basic JavaScript" module.

You'll get a basic understanding of JavaScript and Programming in general.


2. Move to https://t.co/ZDqK2dT8Iz and complete the following parts:
- An Introduction
- JavaScript Fundamentals
You'll start to understand Basic JavaScript concepts and their details.


3. Complete "Objects: the basics" section in https://t.co/ZDqK2dT8Iz

By this point you'll have a decent understanding of JavaScript Objects

4. Time to return to freeCodeCamp. Finish the following sections:
1. Debugging
2. Basic Data Structure

Our preprint on the impact of reopening schools on reproduction number in England is now available online: https://t.co/CpfUGzAJ2S. With @Jarvis_Stats @amyg225 @kerrylmwong @KevinvZandvoort @sbfnk + John Edmunds. NOT YET PEER REVIEWED. 1/


We used contact survey data collected by CoMix (
https://t.co/ezbCIOgRa1) to quantify differences in contact patterns during November (Schools open) and January (Schools closed) 'Lockdown periods'. NOT YET PEER REVIEWED 2/

We combined this analysis with estimates of susceptibility and infectiousness of children relative to adults from literature. We also inferred relative susceptibility by fitting R estimates from CoMix to EpiForecasts estimates(https://t.co/6lUM2wK0bn). NOT YET PEER REVIEWED 3/


We estimated that reopening all schools would increase R by between 20% to 90% whereas reopening primary or secondary schools alone would increase R by 10% to 40%, depending on the infectiousness/susceptibility profile we used. NOT YET PEER REVIEWED 4/


Assuming a current R of 0.8 (in line with Govt. estimates: https://t.co/ZZhCe79zC4). Reopening all schools would increase R to between 1.0 and 1.5 and reopening either primary or secondary schools would increase R to between 0.9 and 1.2. NOT YET PEER REVIEWED 5/
