there are significantly more deaths in NYC compared to similar timeframe from previous years. We don’t know why we just know it is. Deaths of the flu are also normally related to underlying conditions, most deaths in general related to disease/infections are also secondary to underlying conditions Last edited by Monticore; 04-28-2020 at 08:55 PM.. |

It's just weird that so many other cities were in similar situations as NY early and it just didn't materialize like it did there.

Yes it is , theory that Europe and NYC got one strain and west coast got a different one . I just know that some healthy young people are dying , ah e not often but seems scary to me.

It's just extremely rare for a young healthy person to die. So many probably have it and don't even know it.

Again from the study: Quote:
Serious question, you really think we have only had 4.4 million infected in the US right now? Death by age for NYC and Italy... https://www.statista.com/statistics/...new-york-city/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/...gion-in-italy/ |

The specificity is estimated by the authors at 99.5%, but that was taken from 654 blood samples, not 10,000, and they do reference the lack of a clinical gold standard to measure this against as a potential issue. |

Kind of nitpicky too, but technically, there aren't multiple strains. It's a tree of subtypes, which IIRC, in these things isn't necessarily unexpected.

The IFR per 100K for flu was the following last year (inclusive of those with comorbidities) 18-49: 20 51-64: 61 Compare that to COVID in patients that don't have comorbidities from this study: 82/100K for 18-69. You have a healthier population that is dying at a substantially higher rate. |

A lot of these young people dying are dying from sudden heart attacks and strokes related to covid. We need to figure this shit out quick |

A lot of patients present with elevated d-dimer and fibrinogen levels in the blood and the more serious cases will also have lymphopenia and leukopenia. Elevated d-dimer and fibrinogen levels point to coagulopathies (they are byproducts of broken up blood clots), whereas the latter two point to a depleted immune system. Increased levels of NT-proBNP and BNP are indicative of heart failure and troponin levels indicate recent cardiac damage. |
