Coronavirus 2019-2020 thread (no unsubstantiated rumours!)

I think these are the first 3 kids so young (ages 3-5) to die from COVID-19, if not in the world, then certainly in NYC. And there are three of them in close succession (I think 2 at Mount Sinai), so this is certainly out of the normal if it is COVD-19-caused, which it very well may not be.
There were babies under 1 die from covid in Chicago and UK. So this is not exactly a unique case
Kids are less susceptible to the virus, but if there are enough, someone will drop dead just due to simple math. That's why there are 20 and 30 year olds dying from this as well.

The more they lie, the more their credibility falls. At least among Chinese.

Making up outrageous lies against China increases credibility among racists and China haters.
"It’s unclear as yet how the university gathered the data. The online version says that they aggregated the data from China’s health ministry, the National Health Commission, media reports, and other public sources. "

And

"It’s unclear how the dataset’s authors define “confirmed” and “recovered”: Like other countries, China has updated its counting methods, as demonstrated in mid-February when Hubei’s reported cases spiked because officials

they were including patients diagnosed with CT scans. Unlike in other countries, China’s outbreak peaked before rigorous testing methods were widely available, and the Communist Party often manipulates data for political purposes. "


Is this journalism today? So they outright mention how it's unclear, they themselves also refused leaks against that were against themselves but it's fine when it's against China.

So they haven't been able to find anything substantial against China from this huge data trove, am I mistaken?

Coronavirus: Asian experts say Oxford study showing higher hospital death rate among non-whites suggests socioeconomic, not genetic effects
  • The British study found that Asian and black patients were 1.62 and 1.71 times more likely to die, respectively, than their white counterparts
  • Such unequal outcomes are linked to social and economic factors that affect how members of these communities live and work, the experts said

an interesting info which makes sense for instance if many from this or that group of people work as cab drivers then this or that group is more endangered; note it has nothing to do with "racism", if it had, I wouldn't post!

Not just Asian experts and not just this study but plenty of other experts and studies.

It saddens me to see everyday, Chinese or Asians being the victims of racist assault. Sees it all over the world, but (now I'm not bashing country) two countries stands out. Australia and America. But they also seem to be a particular area in Canada around Vancouver. Is there a large population of Chinese there?

If I see any racist behaviours, I'll dive in without thinking, but I'm not as young as I used to be. So I think I'll come out worse.
