Are these numbers accurate? It makes sense that all kinds of new patients are entering the hospital today in mortal fear from the flu whereas older people with multiple co-morbilities were the first to enter back in the spring; but 26% chance of dying back then? "Patients in the study had a 25.6% chance of dying at the start of the pandemic; they now have a 7.6% chance. I find it hard to believe 8 out of 100 people entering the hospital with symptoms are dying today. I gave the article a quick read and probably glossed over something specific about those patients in this particular study.

I'm assuming this woman lived through getting the shit bombed out of her country by the Luftwaffe. She gives zero fucks about a cold virus.
