Argh, this again. Sorry. To understand what is going on here and the actual nature of the question, it really helps to first figure out the pKa of dilute 18OH2 in regular water. Spoiler: it is unambiguously and without choice 15.7. Follow along.

Helpful explanation from @hkumed on using daily point prevalence to estimate no. of new covid cases in HK daily, assuming a patient remains 7 days RAT positive & 75% RAT sensitivity. Daily point prevalence on Jan 3 is 9.38%, so 7m*0.0938÷7÷0.75=125k cases

If you read one thing this year, please let it be this post by @Joanna__Hardy. It is without a shadow of the doubt the best thing that's ever appeared on this blog. It is just stupendously, heartbreakingly, achingly brilliant.
