[The_Renaissance]

Have a goodtime man, dont let this shite get you down.. your braver than me.. i couldnt travel at the minute, I would go postal and freak out when retards are doing stupid shit..
When the retards have stopped being retards I will start to mix again.
We are being threaten again around the North East with full lockdown again from the local government today.. absolutely nothing going on.. there just making this shit up as they go.. its full retard..

I'm all good brother, minor inconvenience but I don't consider myself brave, whatsoever. Just hard minded. I will make something from this trip even if it wasn't what I intended. I'll obey certain rules,I'll follow the news but I won't stop being me. Because being me makes me happy and that's why we are alive.

Coronavirus Is The No. 3 Cause of Death in The U.S., After Heart Disease and Cancer

"The novel coronavirus, which causes the respiratory disease COVID-19, has become the No. 3 cause of death in the U.S., following heart disease and cancer.

According to a new graph published by Dr. Maria Danilychev, who practices in San Diego, COVID-19 has moved past accidents, chronic lung disease, strokes, Alzheimer's, diabetes, flu and pneumonia, and kidney disease as the third most likely cause of death in the U.S.

The graph uses data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for the daily average cause of death and compares this with COVID-19 statistics from Worldometers.info. According to the graph, 748 people per day die from COVID-19 in the U.S., compared with 1,641 cancer deaths and 1,774 heart disease fatalities."

I wonder why these types of articles always leave out medical error, which kills hundreds of thousands of people a year (in the US alone).

“According to a recent study by Johns Hopkins, more than 250,000 people in the United States die every year because of medical mistakes, making it the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer.” https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2018/02/22/medical-errors-third-leading-cause-of-death-in-america.html

Sounds like chronic lung disease, strokes, Alzheimer's, diabetes, flu and pneumonia, and kidney disease need to up their game!

Human error vs. a Pandemic

Singapore has a bit under 56,000 cases and only 27 deaths as of the time of this post.

Let me say that again. 56,000 cases and only 27 deaths.
We need to ask questions. What is different there, and what are they doing to get results that are so much better than everyone else?

Well, their population is obese and if the Government tells you to wear a mask (and ours has only slightly suggested it at best) you DO it.

That's the thing, they really haven't stopped infections that much better than we have here in North America. 1% of their total population has been infected so far which is somewhere between Canada and the US, yet their death rate is something like 20 times lower than Canada's and over 50 times lower than the US. In Singapore it's "just a bad flu" whereas over here it's far worse.

A flu shot doesn't always protect you, but amid the COVID-19 pandemic, it is more important than ever
Karen Weintraub, USA TODAY

Getting a flu vaccine this year is even more important than usual because of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to public health officials.

"We should push for massive uptake of the vaccine this year," said John Brownstein, who tracks outbreaks around the world as chief innovation officer at Boston Children’s Hospital. "Everyone who is eligible should get it."

Producers are boosting supplies of the flu vaccine this year to meet what they expect will be higher demand. CVS stores have the flu vaccine in stock, and vaccines are available as of Monday at Walgreens.

Vaccine maker Sanofi plans to hold a news conference Monday morning announcing that it will produce 15% more vaccine than in a normal year.

"Flu vaccines work, and they can take a big burden off our medical infrastructure," John Shiver, global head of vaccines research and development for the company, said last week. "Let's keep people out of the hospital with flu while we deal with a likely upswing in COVID infections."

The flu shot isn't always effective, but it's much better than nothing, said Shira Doron, an infectious disease physician and hospital epidemiologist at Tufts Medical Center in Boston.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone 6 months and older get a flu vaccine every year. The agency did not respond to a request for comment about this year's situation.

The CDC recommends people get a flu vaccine by the end of October – because it takes a few weeks for the vaccine to become fully protective – but encourages people to get vaccinated later rather than not at all.

It's hard to know how the flu will interact with COVID-19. The flu season has been mild in the Southern Hemisphere, which is usually six months ahead of the USA. It isn't clear whether that's because of the flu strains circulating this year or because the same public health measures that prevent COVID-19 – masks, social distancing and frequent hand washing – also stop flu outbreaks.

Was reading that sometimes protection of the flu shot can be so short lived that if you get it at the start of the flu season in early autumn, immune protection can sometimes disappear before the end of the winter, which is quite shocking. In saying that, im thinking about getting it this year if its not too much of a hassle. I cant think it will be very fun to catch covid when youve got the flu, and theres some opinion if you have a cold or flu it could actually make you more likely to catch covid as well.

Bro aren't you scared staying in a hostel? especially during Covid

For the last time none of us young half way healthy and not morbidly obese people are scared of the sniffles, if you don't know the ones at risk by now youre fucked
And dont go post article about how 1 perfectly healthy person from venusfuckingeula died or how a healthy 30 yr old still has problems breathing 2 months after infection

 

[Loiosh]

Flu vaccine is only 35 percent effective or something like that, so I wonder how effective the Covid vaccine will be. If its safe ill likely get the shot.

A 2012 meta-analysis found that flu vaccination was effective 67 percent of the time; the populations that benefited the most were HIV-positive adults aged 18 to 55 (76 percent), healthy adults aged 18 to 46 (approximately 70 percent), and healthy children aged six months to 24 months.

It varies from year to year; between 2009 & 2019 in the US, it varied from just 19% up to a high of 60%, according to the article i read. Dont know about the covid vaccine, we're just going to have to wait and see, but flu mutates a lot more so im hopeful it will be effective. Anyway, i think this winter has the potential to be quite disastrous for covid so even if the flu shot is only partly protective, anything you can do to give yourself a boost is probably a wise move.

"It is what it is."

Your article was comparing pandemic vs cancer and heart disease... I think deaths related to medical error clearly fit within this matrix, don’t you?

Yeah, a hostel is right up there with the places any sane person would avoid where possible, like nightclubs, airports and casinos.

Are people still worried about this? Outside of the top 5 countires, it's basically over. No travel to those ppaces and this will fade out for the most part I hope.

the flu shot doesnt even protect you from the regular old flu. Drug dealers take no days off

China virus is very bad.

 

[DC23]

Question. Does the virus trigger rashes or anything like that? I've got eczema all over me over the last 3-4 months ffs. Never had it prior.
