Real, Preventable Deaths, Nobody Is Talking About.

James Doogue

More in my series of getting the response to Covid-19 into proper perspective.

The Facts About Covid-19 Deaths And Illness.

Covid-19 is getting all the attention. It's a virus that has killed about 905 people in Australia in the 9 months from February 2020. The median age of deaths is 83 years. https://www.health.gov.au/resources/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-at-a-glance-10-august-2020

Of the 94% who did have pre-existing conditions recorded on the death certificate, the most common were dementia and Alzheimer's disease (31%); Ischaemic heart disease (13%) and Chronic lower respiratory diseases (11%).

Most people who have tested positive to Covid-19, are asymptomatic, or only have mild cold and flu like symptoms.

噴鼻式流感疫苗Clearly, healthy people below age 75, have very little chance of dying if they get Covid-19. The health authorities know that. In case the public start cottoning on to that point, they've started a new scare - Long Covid.

Long Covid is a term being used when people have ongoing symptoms for more than a month after they have been cleared of Covid-19. Symptoms can include headaches, fatigue, irregular heart beat, shortness of breath, muscle ache and so on.

What they don't tell you is having prolonged symptoms of you have seasonal influenza or any viral infection is not new to medical science. Post Viral Syndrome is well documented as is Post ICU Syndrome and Gullian Barre Syndrome.

We live with this possibility from all viruses and we haven't previously shut down the economy. The good news is most people see these symptoms resolve eventually.

Thousands Of Avoidable Deaths In Health Care - That Should Scare Us

The government tracks all causes of deaths and tracks deaths among people younger than 75 that are potentially avoidable within the present health care system.

They include deaths from conditions that are potentially preventable through individualised care and/or treatable through existing primary or
hospital care.

噴鼻式疫苗In 2018, there were 26,700 potentially avoidable deaths: half (49%) of all deaths for people aged less than 75. Of these deaths, 64% were male
and 36% were female.

Clearly Covid-19 pales compared to this fatal problem.

Gender Imbalance

Preventable deaths are an important issue, but so is the gender imbalance in these deaths. Imagine if 64% of all avoidable deaths involved women? Do you think there would be questions asked? Special inquiries launched? Special funding to research and resolve this gender imbalance?
