And how often exactly does that “common flu” that kills 30-50 million people come around? On average once a century you say? So, not that common after all then! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there is no scientific information that supports the theory that the lockdown measures prevented more infections and deaths. It could quite easily have made it worse. Having a group of individuals cooped up in an enclosed space for an extended time is more likely to cause group infection than allowing them to circulate in open spaces. With people being allowed to exit these spaces for food purchases etc., it only takes one to introduce the virus into the enclosed group in an enclosed space to start the group infection. Well, I see it this way, the less you’re out and about the less likely you’ll get infected and if you don’t get infected there’s one spreader less out there. Also, in my opinion it’s pretty easy to avoid getting infected, if you take measurements accordingly that is. Lots of people used masks and hand sanitizers, so they didn’t spread the virus as opposed to not taking any measures at all and roam about freely.

Sametboy2019 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Alot of people suffering severe reactions to Covid 19 are Vitamin D deficient. Interestingly Its not a Vitamin its a hormone. There was also the talk of TB vaccine helping. This coupled with other varying factors could explain why it doesnt take hold in certain areas as well.

I did not expect that I am such up to date with the very latest reseach with my ideas. And this is published in Nature, one of the two highest rated scientific journals! Maybe this has to do with my own Neanderhaler genes, too. Thanks for posting the link to Nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinnock Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Maybe a continent with real diseases is not scared of a bad cold - so don't obsess over a cause of death impacting mainly old, sick people? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many who die are obese. They're not as old, those who would normally die from COVID died years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logosone Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Quote Experts say that some COVID-19 deaths in Africa probably are being missed. Testing rates in the continent of about 1.3 billion people are among the lowest in the world, and many deaths of all types go unrecorded. Ummm, so not so much of a puzzle then. Lol. More confused and incompetent journalism. The real puzzle is if you put the actual reason in your article how can you possibly not come to the right conclusion?
