Covid is a Food Pandemic ($)

The covid-19 virus is a symptom, the cause is defective food.

Mortality

Things to know about covid-19:

  • Few people had immunity to it before it recently appeared.

  • It’s contagious and spreads quickly.

  • It poses little danger to young, healthy people.

  • Mortality occurs predominantly in the old and infirm.

Here is a graph of the mortality of people suffering from covid-19 taken from the Korean population (Cho, 2021) plotted against a patient’s incidence of comorbidity. The horizontal scale is the CCI, the Charlson comorbidity index, which counts the number of major ailments that a person has. The vertical axis is the percent of patients who died. The graph is based on the 7,890 people who were admitted to hospital with confirmed cases of covid-19.

Healthy patients who have no comorbities have a roughly 0.5% chance of dying. This number comes from that group of otherwise healthy people who are sufficiently ill with covid-19 to have been admitted to hospital. We assume roughly ten times this many people were ill with covid-19 at this time and in this population who did not go to the hospital. Consequently, the mortality rate for the whole, young, otherwise healthy population drops into the neighborhood of 0.1%, which is equivalent to that of the seasonal flu (Armitage, 2020).

For the older population with preexisting illness the mortality rates are huge. Remember the 0.1% mortality rate for the seasonal flu is for the whole population, including the ill and elderly. The mortality rate due to covid-19 for the whole population, young and old, is between 3 and 5% which is 30 to 50 times higher. The point is that these mortalities are coming from the older, infirm population. The covid-19 pandemic in its most virulent form predominates in this group.

Most healthy human immune systems can defend themselves from covid-19. The real pandemic, then, relates to the high number of people with unhealthy immune systems. Why are so many people unhealthy?
