To be a bit of a ghoul, we’re going to be teasing apart secondary and tertiary COVID mortality effects (and morbidity!) for years…
Yeah, i have a friend whose sister died of a cancer that wasn’t diagnosed until late. It’s moderately likely that she would have been diagnosed earlier and successfully treated if the hospitals hadn’t all been full of covid patients.
Not even sure how to count that kind of mortality.
meep, have you seen this study?
Have we seen an uptick of “excess mortality” in COVID survivors? Do we have that data?
Or is this crappy statistics (statistically biased on some way, or something like that)?
For people younger than 65 who were hospitalized with COVID-19, the risk of death in the 12 months after the infection was 233% higher than it was for people who did not have the disease, results published in the journal Frontiers in Medicine have shown.
Nearly 80% of all deaths of people in the study who had recovered from COVID-19 in the past 12 months were not due to cardiovascular or respiratory causes, suggesting that the impact of the virus is significant and wide-ranging, even after the initial infection has been fought off.
Oh, people hospitalized. That seems a bit biased.
Wondering what the relative rate of mortality for people going to a hospital for any other reason is, versus the general population.

Yeah, even comparing to people who were as unhealthy as those hospitalized for COVID, would have been better. I mean they talked a lot about comorbidities with COVID. Wouldn’t you want to compare those with a sample of people with the same comorbidities that didn’t get COVID?
That reminds me, I’m going to be doing a talk this afternoon for Illinois State
https://math.illinoisstate.edu/actuary/events/
I’m going to be talking about how the old Ghostbusters movie (the one from 1984) is killing people in the UK.
Nice!
Could you ask them to correct the spelling of “November” on their website?

They’ve got all sorts of issues with their website.
Not sure I’m gonna I’m going to ask them to do anything until -after- I get a copy of the recording of the presentation…
[and even then, I’m not going to ask. Web design and editing is clearly not their thing.]
Kids these days…
You’ll post the recording when you get it? Thanks in advance.
I assume you’ll be giving credit to Jeffrey Morris?

You yadda-yadda’ed the best part!!
Hey, I’ve heard of that guy!! He wrote a study manual or something, 30 years ago.
Next guy: did he just say “revalent”?
Very good. Thank you for posting.

I think it’s virtually a dead heat between the “v” and the “l” but on count back he does squeeze the l out just before the v.
I’d be curious to hear him pronounce “Wednesday”
Actually on listening at half speed I’m not sure what order they come in.
No, I think you’re right. It’s more noticeable at quarter speed.
Dudes, he’s originally from Poland. Come on.
what did I yadda yadda over? I don’t recall
