Wuhan virus 2020

[Platapus]

Both the CDC and the WHO have stated that the chances of getting the SARS COV-2 virus from ,mosquitoes is very low. Primarily because the virus is primarily found in the respiratory system instead of the blood system.



However, neither organization has stated that it is impossible to get the virus from mosquitoes.


Best bet is to avoid mosquitoes who cough on you.

Not really. I would have to care first.

Hey good news for COVID but what about the other 725,000 humans killed each year from mosquito bites transmitting infectious disease? Only government can save our lives they should mandate everyone wear protective clothing and bathe in DEET during mosquito season. Off season bathing just once a day will suffice. Of course if you dont have business being outside you have to stay home too. Non-compliance will get you a fine or prison.

Bubble suits for everyone!

The number of US servicemen and women killed in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan - over an aggregate 44 years of fighting is almost exactly the same as the number of Americans who've now lost their lives to coronavirus in just three months of America's war against (...) Covid-19.

Maybe, but COVID-19 and Korea combined cant hold a candle to the deaths caused by the war Germans started in WWII. We lost a a lot of soldiers and civilians fighting that disease too

Headlines and latest updates. Just by reading the comments here I didn't have to look what makes headlines over there. But can you guess whats at the top of the list on the ones I did look at? U.S. death count of 100,000 from COVID-19 as U.S. begins to open.

I looked at a lot more euro news sources and I couldn't find one mention anywhere of the 164,000 and more people that died from COVID-19 in Europe.

If it increases government power there will be some here who support it.

The number of deaths in WWII dwarfens when comparing them to the number of deaths in the two thousand yeas before. Its all the Romans' fault.

As an old guy who is almost 70 this statistic gets your attention. Big time.

The Most Important Coronavirus Statistic: 43% Of U.S. Deaths Are From 0.6% Of The Population

https://www.forbes.com/sites/theapot...19-deaths/amp/

2.1 million Americans, representing 0.62% of the U.S. population, reside in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

Another way to cut the data is to look at nursing home and assisted living facility deaths as a share of the population that lives in those facilities. On that basis, three states stand out in the negative direction: New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.

In Massachusetts and Connecticut, COVID deaths per 10,000 nursing home and assisted living facility residents were 703 and 827, respectively. In New Jersey, nearly 10 percent of all long-term care facility residents—954 in 10,000—have died from the novel coronavirus.

..as of May 22, in the 39 states that currently report such figures, an astounding 43% of all COVID-19 deaths have taken place in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

Thicker and thicker the plot becomes.

Bot-translated from the german link:
Around half of the cases, 49.7 percent, showed a "normal" vitamin D level. Only four percent of these patients died during the study period.
Just over a quarter of the patients, 27 percent, had an "insufficient" level of vitamin D. 88 percent of the cases died - a very high figure.In contrast, 23 percent of the patients examined had a "medical vitamin D deficiency": almost all of them died, 99 percent.

And this is a study talked about last autumn, a link between diabetes and Vitamine D deficiency and higher mortality from that.
