Covid-19: world toll 


Plans for vaccination programmes began taking shape in Europe and the United States following recent breakthroughs, as surging coronavirus caseloads prompted gruelling new restrictions, with Austria taking the unpopular step Tuesday of closing schools and shops. 

Global hopes of vanquishing the coronavirus pandemic were high after US biotech firm Moderna said its vaccine candidate was nearly 95 percent effective in a trial, a week after similar results announced by pharma giant Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech.

WNU has to have his COVID porn.

I have yet to see a school child locally dead from COVID. There was 1 dead school child n Florida. She was a teenage with cancer and 2 other comorbidities. In a nation of 318+ million people you will get outliers.

One maybe 2 people under 60 have died. At least one of them had comorbidities. The urinalists are letting us know about the other one.

People are going to come up to the 1 year mark, look at the lack of death in the scamdemic and they will be angry at politicians and JornoLists.

CDC study: Covid-19 complications killed 121 Americans under age 21 through July

121 in such a vast population, essentially the chances are statistically zero. Some studies suggest as a result of the government response to this apprixinsyejr 1 in 4 young adults under 25 now are suffering from some sort of mental illness. Remember mental illness often leads into any number of physical ailments that either cause death themselves or shorten lifespans. The cure truly has been and continues to be worse than the disease.

Now Ask Why 5 times.

Did those 121 have any comorbidities?

Oh wait, we already know the answer. One did for sure, she was 17 year old from Florida and had cancer, an autoimmune disease and was obese. The obesity is I think in large part for restraints ion physical activity imposed by the autoimmune disease and cancer. However you get it the obesity produces effects of its own. So she is an outlier. Do we base national policy on outliers?

I took a psych test on memory for extra credit. The profs wanted to test short term memory. The actual test consisted of memorizing South American capitals. It consisted of a test, memorization test wait a period of time and a 3rd test. Of course my 3 tests on the capitals were all the same. Once I was told what the test was for, I told the prof that my tests were likely an outlier, since I had lived in South America. Or if told me that they would keep the raw data, but likely toss the data point in the final results. This is above board and good. Statistically speaking the result was an outlier, but the test authors had a special cause to assign to it.

So a 17 year old died. It is sad. It is also an a outlier that we can assign a special cause to.

I bet most of the other 120 people under 21 have special causes to their death too.

"There was a disproportionate burden among children and young adults with underlying health conditions and those who were Latinx, Black, or American Indian or Alaska Native."

If we took out the whining about color, we would find underlying conditions. I do mean whining and whining for cause. that is to beat people with partial facts in the public square.

I saw an article on lung cancer deaths in Ohio. Blacks were hardest hit. The urinalists that provided some national averages for comparison. They compared cancer rates by state and nation. They noted smoking rates in Ohio by race. They never noted smoking rates by race nationally. Nor did the look at cancer rates by race and smoking rates and tell you how much each one relatively contributed.

"There was a disproportionate burden among children and young adults with underlying health conditions ..."

"Seventy-five percent of the fatal cases were among children and young adults with existing medical problems, most commonly chronic lung diseases like asthma, obesity, neurologic or developmental conditions, or heart conditions."

They did not tell you much about those underlying conditions were. Why? You lose information when you summarize. You gain some, but you also lose. Also note out of 121 they did not tell you how much in each category.

Must have run out of space on a web page. I hear that happens a lot.

8:46 is parrot shit. It is the time parrot is up and it is parrot's style.


Also what B Poster said. Statistically zero.
