Just had to shut down Covid denialism in my Zoom class. Unbelievable what this country has sunk to.

Seaver also had lewy body dementia.  But it was Covid-19 that likely killed him.

Here’s an article from Nature looking at estimating deaths from COVID

 

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02497-w

One thing I didn’t see them mention (I did not read the entire thing, but a good bit of it, maybe it was towards the end) is how the way we’ve handled the pandemic shifts what would be expected deaths. 
 

for example, flu deaths are down because of social distancing. Accounting for that is lost. Deaths from automobile accidents are down because of the significantly reduced commuting. Some of those are easy or easier to accommodate for than others. 
 

and they may have already accounted for it and just not discussed it. Generally people who do this work are aware of such things. I just didn’t see it mentioned.

It does toward the end ...

 

"One silver lining is that lockdowns and behaviour changes such as mask wearing and hand washing might have prevented deaths from other causes — particularly other infectious diseases, such as flu. And with large swathes of people staying at home worldwide, deaths from traffic accidents and certain types of interpersonal violence are likely to have diminished. These reductions could be hiding some of the increase in deaths driven by COVID-19."

Pro-tip.

 

Fontina, Muenster and Jack cheeses are the highest in Vitamin D.  Rich cheeses such as Gouda and Bleu occupy the second tier.

Typical American-hating liberal advocating for foreign cheeses like Fontina, Muenster, Gouda and Bleu.

 

'murican cheese is the best for vitamin D.

I know...Jesse Ventura is on RT...so is his son...

But he said one thing I rely on: get your calories (energy) through food, not in fluids. 

Betcha we won't get a People's Eyebrow for that.
