What does that mean? As a scientist myself, 'science' can basically never say anything definitive about reality. Not for something extremely well measured and controlled like GR, and especially not something where the evidence on the ground and influencing factors (policy, social opinion, culture) shift with a frequency on the same order of scale that our measurements can be tallied.
You can't have a scientific response to the virus when you don't know what the asymptomatic transmission rate is, or what the true death rate is. As can be seen here it does not go well when they are made to even consider that they don't have all the information needed for a scientific response: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24077233
"I want to preface this article by stating that it is entirely anecdotal and based on my experience working as a doctor in the emergency room of one of the big hospitals in Stockholm, Sweden, and of living as a citizen in Sweden."
Look at this paragraph. It jumped right out at me, why is nobody else commenting on this?
The next day all those patients were gone and the only thing coming in to the hospital was covid. Practically everyone who was tested had covid, regardless of what the presenting symtom was. People came in with a nose bleed and they had covid. They came in with stomach pain and they had covid.
What sort of disease has no specific symptoms at all? I thought COVID patients were presenting with an unusual form of dry pneumonia?
If you look at the history of epidemiology and virology, it is unfortunately filled with stories of misinterpreted data leading to incorrect belief that a virus was the underlying cause. For a long time diseases caused by vitamin deficiencies were blamed on viruses although none actually existed.
When you read that some doctors experience of COVID was "people turned up as normal but suddenly they were all testing positive", you do have to wonder what is going on. I thought COVID patients in hospitals were clearly COVID patients by symptoms, but the list of associated symptoms seems to keep widening. That's confusing and worrying indeed.
