Silencing? John didn't suggest silencing, he suggested not listening. You're confused.
That's the solution the left always proposes. Silence those who don't agree with your point of view.
And yet, that’s precisely what you did when proven wrong in the thread about Los Angeles and desertification.
Poor and inadequate measures for the containment of Covid-19 lead to a devastating impact on health and the economy.Impact to health and economy
I didn't silence anyone. I made my points; others made theirs.
I do not remember now the source, but I read a few months back that in the 1918-20 pandemic, the countries who recovered economically first werethe ones that had managed the health part better.Saving as manylives as possible isalways good, at the bare minimum from a morale perspective - people will feel safer when returning slowly to "normal" living. This will take a long time, the WHO estimates around 2 years for the effect of the virus to diminish. Going from pandemic to endemic.Good article, thanks for sharing.
In the public data set, the number of men who died from COVID-19 is 2.4 times that of women (70.3 vs. 29.7%, P = 0.016). In SARS patients, the gender role in mortality was also observed. The percentage of males were higher in the deceased group than in the survived group (P = 0.015).Conclusion: While men and women have the same prevalence, men with COVID-19 are more at risk for worse outcomes and death, independent of age.
Never mind the old pandemic. I just found out that Covid-19 kills more men than women.https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2020.00152/full#:~:text=In%20the%20public%20data%20set,group%20(P%20%3D%200.015).
If these numbers stay at or near that level, the US will hit 200,000 by mid-September or so.
One should be careful not to focus to much just on deaths, many who were quite sick but survive don't live very happily after.
That's true. Since C19 leaves permanent damage on various organs, infected people could heal from the virus, but later die from heart failure, cancer or diabetes.
We can be absolutely certain that everyone infected will die in due course; and those are undoubtedly three possible causes. I'm unaware of any evidence that late onset heart failure, cancer or diabetes can be said, or even hypothesised, to be due to Covid infection: does any exist?Jeremy
The list of lingering maladies from COVID-19 is longer and more varied than most doctors could have imagined. Ongoing problems include fatigue, a racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, achy joints, foggy thinking, a persistent loss of sense of smell, and damage to the heart, lungs, kidneys, and brain.The likelihood of a patient developing persistent symptoms is hard to pin down because different studies track different outcomes and follow survivors for different lengths of time. One group in Italy found that 87% of a patient cohort hospitalized for acute COVID-19 was still struggling 2 months later. Data from the COVID Symptom Study, which uses an app into which millions of people in the United States, United Kingdom, and Sweden have tapped their symptoms, suggest 10% to 15% of people—including some “mild” cases—don’t quickly recover. But with the crisis just months old, no one knows how far into the future symptoms will endure, and whether COVID-19 will prompt the onset of chronic diseases.Despite the novelty of SARS-CoV-2, its long-term effects have precedents: Infections with other pathogens are associated with lasting impacts ranging from heart problems to chronic fatigue. “Medicine has been used to dealing with this problem” of acute viral illness followed by ongoing symptoms, says Michael Zandi, a neurologist at UCL. Even common illnesses such as pneumonia can mean a monthslong recovery. “I see a lot of people who had [the brain inflammation] encephalitis 3, 4 years ago, and still can’t think, or are tired,” Zandi says. Infections with certain bacteria and Zika virus, among others, are linked to Guillain-Barre syndrome, in which the immune system attacks nerve tissue, causing tingling, weakness, and paralysis.
Maybe this is why Asians tend to live longer than us Westerners. Masks and isolation when they get sick.
The coronavirus pandemic has prompted one of the fastest peacetime mission shifts in recent times for the world’s intelligence agencies, pitting them against one another in a new grand game of spy versus spy, according to interviews with current and former intelligence officials and others tracking the espionage efforts.
