Regular Seasonal Influenza Virus Wiped Out by Wearing Masks, Will Sam Leong Jump Down?
- Thread starter Kraken

LOL! Masks dont work, and pigs might fly, so funny
mask very good. stop the covid virus. so say our PAP government or pay fine
If you thought Singapore was kiasu, kiasi let me tell you that this NZ government is even worse. They're terrified the Maori fatties will start dying in large numbers and this will cost them a lot of votes.

Māori are 50 per cent more likely to die from Covid-19 than Pākehā, a groundbreaking new study has found - and institutional racism is partly to blame.
Researchers - including sociology, statistics, physics and cultural history experts - linked existing demographic and health data for ethnic groups in New Zealand with international Covid-19 data to reach the findings.
International data was used was because the number of cases in New Zealand alone is too small to provide a sufficient sample size.
The alarming results, published in today's New Zealand Medical Journal, come as the current Auckland cluster disproportionately affects Pacific NZers (more than 60 per cent of cases) and Māori (about 20 per cent of cases).
Factors that researchers say can explain the difference in risk by ethnicity include:
• More Māori live with multiple underlying health conditions (comorbidities) compared to New Zealand Europeans. Those with comorbidities are at greater risk of dying from Covid-19.
• Hospitalisation and fatality rates for Māori and Pacific from the H1N1 influenza pandemic in 2009 were significantly higher than for New Zealand Europeans.
• Avoidable hospitalisations are higher for Māori and Pacific populations due to structural disadvantages.
• Māori are at greater risk of exposure to the disease due to higher involvement in high-risk occupations and environments and larger social networks.
Risk factors for accelerated transmission included crowded housing, which affects about 25 per cent of Māori and 45 per cent Pacific.

Rapid spread of Covid-19 would "place unprecedented stress on the healthcare system" and almost certainly amplify existing racism, the researchers concluded.
Mike Plank - one of the authors of the paper and a professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Canterbury - said, overseas there were already horrible reports of doctors faced with the awful decision of choosing which Covid-19 patient to save.
"If a patient has a pre-existing health condition then they have less chance of surviving, so the doctor would more likely prioritise the healthier patient," he said.
Plank said the worse health outcomes for Māori and Pacific people "stem from widespread inequities in the healthcare system and the ongoing impacts of systemic racism and colonisation".
Given the speed at which Covid-19 could spread, there was an urgent need to prepare healthcare services and establish measures to protect at risk groups.

The researchers said better transparency was needed in the risk factors and weightings used to guide decision-making about healthcare service provision - and more work was needed to incorporate these findings into the Ministry of Health disease transmission models that are used to inform New Zealand's Covid-19 response.
The New Zealand data showed the level of pre-existing health conditions in Māori and the international data revealed that pre-existing health conditions meant greater risk of dying from Covid-19.
Researchers adjusted the age-specific infection fatality rates (IFR) from international data for differences in unmet healthcare need, and comorbidities by ethnicity.
They also altered the life expectancy rate for each ethnicity due to evidence that Covid-19 amplifies existing death rates.
The research comes as additional studies, conducted by separate researchers, have revealed major ethnic inequalities within our country across the board, including mental health, heart attacks and prostate cancer.

if not kiasu then all dead what
Kiasu best. PAP, NZ, Australia, Japan, S Korea all very Kiasu. Good result, low death @Leongsam very angry, not happy lor
So at least there is some good news from the corona pandemic. no more influenza.
i know got the influenza inside singapore but now is same no more because of the mask? i dunno
All that is happening is that Influenza is logged as Covid in order to boost the Covid count.
This was done after the UK papers revealed that more people were dying of flu than covid and this would have ruined the narrative needed for the great reset.
Flu has not disappeared it has just been reclassified.
Not in the USA
173 total cases
USA Population 330 Million Persons = no flu in USA 2020/2021

Influenza-Associated Hospitalizations:
The Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance Network (FluSurv-NET) conducts population-based surveillance for laboratory-confirmed influenza-related hospitalizations in select counties in 14 states and represents approximately 9% of the U.S. population.
Between October 1, 2020, and February 13, 2021, FluSurv-Net sites in 14 states reported 173 laboratory confirmed influenza hospitalizations for an overall cumulative hospitalization rate of 0.6 per 100,000 population. This is much lower than average for this point in the season and lower than rates for any season since routine data collection began in 2005, including the low severity 2011-12 season. During the 2011-12 season, the rate was 1.6 times higher at this time in the season. Hospitalization rates stratified by age will be presented once case counts increase to a level that produces stable rates by age.
The USA is the most guilty of inflating Covid numbers for both political and financial reasons. Dont believe any of the numbers coming from the USA.
HA HA @Leongsam one more time, make fool of himself. now all USA figure is false, when his quote is from alt-right fake news source.

The facts are staring everyone in the face but some people choose to buy in to the politics that has permeated the whole Covid response.
I, on the other hand just look at the data and the conclusions are obvious.
When you cannot see the reality that is the definition of insanity. We can only attempt to help you in you mental illness, but we understand you have difficulty coming to terms with your illness.
