for those who don't know how science works you take a representative sample for these kinds of workings out: from that it can be used to estimate a population level effect. So don't ask me why there's only 8 deaths on that chart — that's why: it's the proportion and distribution… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The problem is when these kinds of threads which are intended ONLY FOR COVID AWARE PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW THIS EVERY SINGLE DAYis that a bunch of FUCKING MORONS who don't know the back story or how this works start to join in and get 'alarmed' because they don't understand it
And they want to come INTO OUR FUCKING WORLD AND TELL ME WHAT TO DO: THEY CAN FUCK OFF
I don't want anybody here who doesn't understand all this super BASIC SHIT we've doing foryears now: you have no place here: I am not explaining this basic stuff to you, it's not for you: good luck if you don't like what I'm doing: don't read, go away and go do whatever
Some of the comments say that the child death was 'drowning' well, i think we all know what drowning looks like in India due a surge of a new strain: cbsnews.com/news/india-cov…
'Scores of dead bodies have been found floating down the Ganges River in eastern India as the country battles a ferocious surge in coronavirus infections. Authorities said Tuesday they haven't yet determined the cause of death.
Health officials working through the night Monday retrieved 71 bodies, officials in Bihar state said.
Images on social media of the bodies floating in the river prompted outrage and speculation that they died from COVID-19. Authorities performed postmortems on Tuesday..
...but said they could not confirm the cause of death due to the decomposition of the bodies.
More corpses were found floating in the river on Tuesday, washing up in Ghazipur district in neighboring Uttar Pradesh state. Police..
...and villagers were at the site, about 30 miles from Monday's incident.'
from the DELTA SURGE, as reported by CBS may 11 2021.
None the less: we still do not have enough solid evidence or data from India to reach any solid conclusions: however, these various indications point to a rather brutal strain: but much is unknown still

'Wear a mask—save yourself!' Covid expert Prof. Dr.
Prof. Dr. Sanjeev Bagai warned during a recent interview about the current #xbb116#ArcturusCovid#SARS3 & about 'new kinds of mutations' seen in new strains that are spawning rapidly such as XB2.3 and rising deaths twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
'My advice to everyone is please wear a simple mask
well fitting n95 mask don't use it as a fashion statement wear it to protect yourself even a mild infection asymptomatic infection of XBB can cause
long-term organ damage and immune dysfunction lasting up to eight months..
...there is no point in taking a risk—wear a mask—save yourself! The Dr said on Indian news station, Times of India, about the current surge.
Further, he warned about the rapid mutating XBB116 which he says is already spawning out yet more mutated strains at a rapid pace:
I don't know if hospital occupancy is a measure of much, because in the UK, I can't spoeak for India here, but where we are, hospitals basically refuse to take the sick and dying during a surge: so that's a measure of little
I have explained that in the thread: but I would be interested to know, from this 'Health' editor at the Economist if they think Modi's plan to fight this strain is sensible or fear mongering?
What I'm saying is based on years of work: much of which nobody outside of this circle pays any attention to: which is the way I like it: because this is only for people who are interested in the science of it and care: it's not for herd immunity people
'The study reveals that XBB.1.16* lineage has become the most predominant SARS-CoV-2 lineage in India. The study also shows that the clinical features and outcome of XBB.1.16* cases were similar to those of other cocirculating Omicron lineage infected cases in Maharashtra, India'… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The co-circulating strains they compared xbb116b too are almost all xbb strains: and they ARE ALL SARS3 strains:
So they are comparing SARS3 TO SARS3
If you understand how to read this then you understand that statement in the paper is meaningless: which is why i didn't include it
