Patients who have died or been admitted to intensive care with Covid-19 have been found to be deficient in a vitamin found in spinach, eggs, and hard and blue cheeses, raising hopes that dietary change might be one part of the answer to combating the disease.#science #medicine #health #Covid-19 #CoronaVirus #pandemic
Researchers studying patients who were admitted to the Canisius Wilhelmina hospital in the Dutch city of Nijmegen have extolled the benefits of vitamin K after discovering a link between deficiency and the worst coronavirus outcomes.

Governments and WHO changed Covid-19 policy based on suspect data from tiny US company
"The World Health Organization and a number of national governments have changed their Covid-19 policies and treatments on the basis of flawed data from a little-known US healthcare analytics company, also calling into question the integrity of key studies published in some of the world’s most prestigious medical journals."
"A Guardian investigation can reveal the US-based company Surgisphere, whose handful of employees appear to include a science fiction writer and an adult-content model, has provided data for multiple studies on Covid-19 co-authored by its chief executive, but has so far failed to adequately explain its data or methodology."
"Data it claims to have legitimately obtained from more than a thousand hospitals worldwide formed the basis of scientific articles that have led to changes in Covid-19 treatment policies in Latin American countries. It was also behind a decision by the WHO and research institutes around the world to halt trials of the controversial drug hydroxychloroquine."

“The reports I am getting are from people who were ill from early January onwards and strongly suggest they had Covid-19 but were not recognised as such,” the epidemiologist professor Tim Spector said last month.It now seems obvious that it hit the UK before the start of the new year. We should have had track and trace from late January onwards in the UK. And they should have manufactured antibody tests as soon as possible, and started testing the entire population. There are probably many thousands of people who had COVID-19 and either survived it or had few or no symptoms, and who still want answers. So the WHO asking countries to investigate any suspicious deaths. Really?! I have to wonder if anyone is going to learn anything from this pandemic. Thousands of deaths might have been avoided if it had been handled properly.

Mounting evidence suggests the coronavirus is more common and less deadly than it first appeared.TLDR: This doesn't necessarily mean it's less dangerous for you, especially if you're over 70, from a BAME ethnic background, and have a serious pre-existing health condition. We already know all that. This research shows that the virus is statistically less dangerous over the entire population than was previously thought.
The evidence comes from tests that detect antibodies to the coronavirus in a person's blood rather than the virus itself.
The tests are finding large numbers of people in the U.S. who were infected but never became seriously ill. And when these mild infections are included in coronavirus statistics, the virus appears less dangerous.
Tests for the immune response to the coronavirus are revealing thousands of people who were infected but never got severely ill. The findings suggest the virus is less deadly than it first appeared.www.npr.org

Seriously, this is just common sense.
It is strange that some people still don’t get it, but this is just common sense.
- Masks are effective to prevent infected people to transmit the disease (they are designed for that).
- So infected people should wear mask to reduce the risk of infecting others.
- Anyone can be infected (as people without symptoms can have and transmit the disease).
- Consequently, everyone should wear mask.
