When social media lies: @Facebook is throwing up a "fact check", saying that these COVID-19 survival rates are "false information":

@Lyle_Genyk @FatEmperor @AlexBerenson Image
Here's the data from the @CDCgov website:

And here's my check of the percentages. They's spot on, 100% accurate: Image
Sorry, @Facebook . You fail as a reliable source of information.

I was curious about this. Took a look at it this morning.

Americans "do not trust anything" in part because of work like this.
In their intro they say:

"Rumors about death panels surrounded the Affordable Care Act, showing that the high stakes of public health is not inoculated from misinformation..."

To demonstrate that we have a problem...
Well, the death panel wasn't a rumor.

2018, @washingtonpost : "The Health 202: Republicans kill Obamacare's controversial "death panel""

1/ Remember the credentialed dopes that sneered at those suggesting a low-sugar diet might be protective for coronavirus?

@DoctorTro @DrAseemMalhotra

2/ "Oral 100-g portions of carbohydrate from glucose, fructose, sucrose, honey, or orange juice all significantly decreased the capacity of neutrophils to engulf bacteria as measured by the slide technique. Starch ingestion did not have this effect."
3/ "These data suggest that the function and not the number of phagocytes was altered by ingestion of sugars. This implicates glucose and other simple carbohydrates in the control of phagocytosis and shows that the effects last for at least 5 hr...."

""Almost everybody walking around, if you were to test their blood right now, they would have some levels of antibody to the four different coronaviruses that are known," says Ann Falsey of the University of Rochester Medical Center."
"In studies, human volunteers who agreed to be experimentally inoculated with a seasonal coronavirus showed that even people with preexisting antibodies could still get infected and have symptoms."
""We work with some common cold coronaviruses. We have samples from 30 years ago... and they're not appreciably different than the ones that are circulating now," says virologist Vineet Menachery of the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston."

1/ Quote of the day:

"Kerr in 'Fundamentals of School Health' says: "The Committee of the American Medical Association and the National Education Association reported in 1919 that the closure of schools is an extremely clumsy, unscientific and unsatisfactory method...
2/ "...of controlling epidemics among school children. It results no only in loss of school time and money, but it fails to control.... Closure of schools should only be considered as a last resort, and then only for sparsely populated places, ...
3/ "...where aggregation is mostly in school.

Anderson and Arnstein in "Communicable Disease Control," 1948, in discussing poliomyelitis, say: "School closure, as well as closure of moving picture theaters, Sunday schools, and other similar groups, is frequently attempted...

"...structural changes in the LDL particle upon its mild oxidation make it also recognizable by immune competent cells and lead to TLR4 activation."
"These data and other results from our group support the hypothesis of convergence of immune responses to oxidation-specific self-antigens and to microbial infection."
"This hypothesis was first substantiated by data from our group showing that a natural autoantibody to mmLDL, EO6, is genetically identical to the classic germline anti-phosphorylcholine antibody T15, which binds avidly to Streptococcus pneumoniae."

"Removal of these CL [cardiolipin] decreases electron-transport activity by ~50% and completely inhibits proton translocation..."

@HyperlipidM
"Peroxidized CL is also much more effective than either H2O2, or tert-BOOH for inactivation, or chemical modification of CcO. [100- to a 1000-fold] less CLOOH are required to modify the CcO subunits than is required for H2O2 or tert-BOOH to modify CcO to a similar extent."
"Because CL is more susceptible to peroxidation than other PLs, CL is expected to be the major source of HNE and MDA within the inner mitochondrial membrane, although this may not be necessarily true for protein bound CL."
