The paper writes: "iatrogenic" means "generated by a medical practitioner", so that there can be an iatrogenic harm. Normal iatrogenic effects are commonly welcome, I guess. Sad when one already must write "writes" instead of "says".

This applies under the presumption that you need or want to eradicate the virus. But both is not self suggesting. You could want to contain the virus until a treatment or vaccine has been found, under the additional goal to minimize detrimental effects from lockdowns. You could want to achieve...

Yesterday (or the day before) in German TV politician Lauterbach said, that he rather doesn´t agree with the loosening here. And he added that if we would endure a bit longer, we would ease the measures in the future. I was astonished as I don´t see the self suggesting logic behind this...

This possibility cannot be denied. Though given that the whole world is connected the question is how likely it is that one scenario mimics the other. You also can say that there in every place is a patient zero, and then the scenario begins. This might not be how it happens, admittedly, and...

To me the graphs look a bit too much in line with expected ones. As far as I had a look, this year has been of a very low mortality until Covid-19, in most countries. Only the Netherland displayed a mortality quite on the upper average, and then nevertheless mortality went up steeply (though...

Therefore I had added "in some sense". But then it would be an explanation why Italy had so huge problems only in the north: because NO2 or air pollution in general is very high there. I am not aware - so far - that the population in the north of Italy is especially dense compared to some other...

The association between NO2 (or pollution in general) and corona seems to hold, in some sense: NO2 and corona cases in Japan corona cases and NO2 (picture on the right) in South Korea https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0269749116324514

And it even could be enough that the host stays at home in bed and not speaking to anybody else, for getting out of the traffic. (May this is the reason that common colds do spread only to some percentage of the population?)

I think this for comparison would be interesting: wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimson_Contagion In Jan-Aug there had been an investigation carried out in the USA, on what would happen if a sever influenza epidemic would take place. The simulation came to this result: from wikipedia For discussion of...

And two messages above (quoting myself here). If I understood rightly, NO2 is often taken as indicator for air pollution in general. But it could of course also be a very cause. This might be indeed the case in Covid-19, I think, as NO2 may cause elevated IL-6. I just posted this post in the...

NO2 again, East Asia and USA: I think this roughly correlates as well

Excess mortality in countries in comparison to NO2 across Europe. excess mortality: this should be NO2 (nitrogen dioxide), from google.com/search?q=nitrogen+dioxide+europe+map:

RE: Pollution. Both Sweden and the UK havn´t implemented that strict measures, though it would be needed to compare them. Apart from that, pollution may be a factor: daily deaths in Sweden: in the UK

I though had thought that because there is no experiment under tight conditions possible that we instead had to use other sources (and came to the conclusion this can only be statistics and forensics). Whereas I agree that the disease must be paid unusual attention to, I cannot not agree to let...

Yes left and all around, deadly clusters seen in care homes - if so - may be a real hint that the disease may be a serious problem. The death of health care workers should have been avoidable - and are statistical-wise accidents (but will probably not change the statistics). It is not unknown...

looks as if it were mere a neurological disease, I´d say.

Here new deaths from Iran, plateauing since mid of march. If I understood rightly, the Iranian government recommended to stay at home begin of march. Schools have closed since march 8th? Some areas might have been locked, and offices might be open only am. should be the same, but until yesterday

@strategist Sweden might actually say something other, we´ll see. The following boards might be more accurate than the ones on the worldometer (I don´t know if they have been issued by Johms Hopkins Univ.), as there was very low deaths over eastern...
