I notice you weren't willing to call me a liar this time. I'm just reporting what I see.

Tobacco: As of 2015, 15.1% of US adults were smokers. In available data, 1.3% of people testing positive for COVID-19 were smokers. WHAT? 5.2% of these were both hospitalized and admitted to an ICUs. 20% of ex-smokers testing positive were admitted to ICUs. FUCK ME IF IT MIGHT TURN OUT SMOKING IS A COVID PREVENTATIVE. Do you think they'll tell people that? ~ however, that is early data ~ but wait there's more! ~ Pre-print science: Level of IL-6 predicts respiratory failure in hospitalized symptomatic COVID-19 patients Dang. So, what inhibits IL-6? Self-reported lifetime marijuana use and interleukin-6 levels in middle-aged African Americans Quote:

Henry, it's fine. We shall have the debate whether you care to participate or not. It will be more fun if you participate.

That might be because the outbreak is further along in many parts of Europe - so they have had longer for individual outcomes to play out

Overwhelmed hospitals are surely part of the equation. In Italy things got so bad they issued a "no one over age 60 gets treatment" order. Not sure if it's still in place.
