Go and read the fucking link I provided.
Published in Nature, 9th June.
It seems that actual reading (never mind comprehension (or critical thought)) is a bug that hasn't caught on round here much. Which is funny, considering it's a forum that relies on the written word...
Yup and the types of jobs and living conditions. Not really a surprise.Looking at this it seems very strongly suggestive that poverty is the driver of increased transmission rates
Coronavirus lockdowns: Where is next after Leicester?
Trends in recent coronavirus infections suggest Leicester is very different from the rest of the UK.www.bbc.co.uk
You are doing everything to push the blame away because you find it uncomfortable.No. You're trying to find a way to push the blame back onto immigrants...
In the UK, for example, there are about 20,000 excess deaths from influenza in a typical year according to Public Health England, however, there were only about 1,700 excess flu deaths in 2018-2019 and there is anecdotal and statistical evidence that the 2019-2020 flu season was also very mild in the UK, the paper says.
“This implies that there were over 30,000 people alive in the UK at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic who would have been expected to die in the previous two flu seasons. These people are likely to have been predominantly elderly and in poor health,” says the working paper, entitled “COVID-19 death rate is higher in European countries with a low flu intensity since 2018”
Yeah. Maybe we should have just let them die because they "should" be dead...Yes it's amazing that vulnerable people have died who survived through a flu season.
Comparing seasonal flu deaths without lockdown vs Covid deaths with lockdown isn't exactly valuable.
The vast majority of people with flu don't seek medical help, nor is it recorded. They just take a week off work and feel like shit. Only if people die or encounter complications and therefore need medical help is it recorded.
And yes, both mostly effect those with underlying health conditions but we generally know what we are dealing with regading flu, Covid was and still is a big unknown.
Not really what the study is saying at all, probably worth reading it and trying again.
Slight hint, it's working on the hypothesis that those countries with mild flu seasons for the preceding two years had a higher population vulnerable to COVID at the start of the epidemic, which in turn lead to poorer outcomes during COVID.
The insinuation there is that we should have done more to protect care homes and prevent cross infection in hospitals. If we'd done that, rather than quarantining the healthy and putting everyone under house arrest whilst it tore through the country's hospitals and nursing homes, we would be in a much better position than we are today - without the 3 months of communism and destruction of the economy.
No that's your take on it.
We should have done a lot more for the more vulnerable people as well as having a lockdown for everyone.
How do people know how their body is going to deal with getting the virus and that they are "healthy" as you put it. You don't. End Of.
Except we did have the data on who was susceptible from Italy - so if we'd acted on that rather than Ferguson's bullshit model we'd be in a much better place right now.
End of.

Should be criminal neglect at the minimum tbhThe sad thing is there are likely many unreported cases like this occurring. I can't tell if it's criminal or simply Darwinism at work.
Was a bit worried about this being on RawStory which isn't always 100% reliable but WaPo seems to have done more digging which largely confirms it:Florida teen dies after conspiracy theorist mom takes her to church event and tries to treat her with Trump-approved drug: report

There were rumblings all day that he had symptoms, let's see how "flu-like" he thinks it is after he's suffered it himself.
