- Replying to @KarenCutter4Here's where it gets interesting. Non-covid excess deaths "can be explained by patients who passed away from other illnesses within 90 days after being infected with COVID-19. In other words, COVID-19 aggravated existing illnesses, resulting in further mortalities."
- The Ministry of Health (MoH) in Singapore released this very interesting report on excess deaths over the weekend. moh.gov.sg/docs/libraries…
- Replying to @KarenCutter4And REALLY interesting. "In a secondary analysis of persons without recent infection, no additional excess deaths were found." Wow.
- Footpath etiquette: if a couple is approaching a singleton coming from other direction, one of couple drops back so single file, allowing smooth passing. Do not remain in couple formation, thus forcing singleton off footpath. A brief pause in couple conversation is allowable.
