Ik heb hier nooit Nederlandse cijfers over gezien. Maar het kan bijna niet anders dan dat ook in Nederland patienten Covid oplopen in het ziekenhuis en daardoor overlijden.
Bij de Australische NOS mag wel gezegd worden dat FFP2/FFP3 veel beter werkt dan andere mondkapjes.
"As one study found, well-fitted N95 respirators are 75 times more effective than surgical masks when both an infectious person and a susceptible person wear them."
Ook mag hard op gezegd worden dat Covid geen griepje is.
"Of course, evidence clearly shows COVID is nothing like a cold, particularly for hospital patients who are at higher risk of severe illness and death. .. more than one in 10 confirmed or suspected to have died as a result of their infection. "

@ABScientist The bulk of cases can feel very cold like actually. But you are of course perfectly correct in saying that the more severe cases are not at all like a cold and can get quite serious.
It is a vascular disease that spreads through the air. It damages the inner lining of your blood vessels. As a consequence it can damage many organs: Gut, brain, heart, kidneys.
Very much unlike the common cold. Much more like the flu, which has been downplayed a lot as well.
Calling it a vascular disease is **way** to premature. There is preliminary evidence suggesting this is a reasonable take, but nothing remotely approaching a point where we can or should be saying such things like their facts.. there is a LOT of researc h to be done before we can say that is a fact.
And yea, as I said, it is very much different from the common cold in its more extreme cases for sure, no doubt there.
