  • Was curious about those numbers and ended up reading this article, which was quite interesting : https://ourworldindata.org/mortality-risk-covid

    In short, i think the difference in death rate between covid and hantaviruses’ respiratory infections is probably smaller than 40 to 1 (though still presumably high). This is because (i suppose) both number are a ratio of confirmed death to confirmed cases. As the article points out, the number of confirmed cases can fluctuate depending on how much you test people : for covid, this kind of mortality rate (CFR) was higher at first because few people were tested. Once a lot of tests were made, it diminished. I guess (and from now on it is 100% my uneducated take) that the respiratory infections due to the Andes variant are not well tested, and the high mortality rate is partly due to the fact that it’s more likely to test people dying or nearing death because of it, than people who had less or no problems but got silently infected.

    Still, had no idea death rates were that high, thanks for sharing this ! I’ll be more careful about this issue now.

    Wow, that’s wonderfully crafted to have a mix of pertinent points and bended facts to get a tight leninist propaganda. You’re completely occulting the fact that anarchists integrated the red army only because they were outnumbered, fought the red army itself when able to, that even anarchists truly loyal to bolshevik power were arrested and disbanded, and nicely playing along the underlying assumption that it’s weird anarchists joined soviets : it’s not, they were pro-soviets, they fought for soviets free of bolshevik control. Yes to left unity, no to rewriting history.
