I also noticed this when browsing the demo village, some conversations it ran through and did both parts.
I want to know how/where the word for plane came from? balus
But also remember the tok pisin is a recent language, created from the colonisation efforts so it's not strange to find that modern words will have a translatation. Helicopters and piano's were around at the time.
Tok pisin was my first language, left with the babysitter when growing up.
> Optimized English, or OptE, is a theoretical construct as of my last training data in September 2021 and doesn't have any widely accepted or standardized form. In the event that OptE is conceived after this period, I would not be able to provide a precise translation due to my training limitations.

Sweden, New York and UK are easily explained if look at the age range and location of deaths. It was the reaction of sending sick patients out to care homes.
Bringing up Sweden, you just cherry picked only it's Nordic neighbours, but it compares quite well, and normal, with the other European countries. If you look at the previous flu seasons for the Nordic countries you will see that Sweden had a few years of very low deaths, whilst the countries you cherry picked had a few years of high death. So Sweden's care homes were packed with more vulnerable people.
Prisons also further support the t-cell theory. People in prison don't get enough sunlight and vitamin-D, reducing their t-cell immunity. Also they are heavily weighted towards minorities who are more susceptible.
And since coronovirus are quite seasonal usually, and t-cell response changes with season, it's why we are seeing different cycles for the northern hemisphere, the southern hemisphere and the equatorial regions. USA is a big country, the northern states got hit first and now the southern states are matching the regions like Mexico. USA is so big you need to treat each state like it's own region and not generalise.

"In the accidental experiment of the Diamond Princess – a close community where the infection was allowed to spread unchecked for a fortnight in January, and everyone was eventually tested – only 17 per cent of passengers and crew became infected."
New York (and similar UK and Sweden) has a higher death rate since they moved sick patients into care homes and decimated them. As you said everywhere saw similar curves no matter how strict or lax a lock down they had. Implying something else is going on and not the lock down.
Studies looking at the impacts of lock down on the curve are showing very little correlational https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5...
“full lockdowns and wide-spread COVID19 testing were not associated with reductions in the number of critical cases or overall mortality.”
So, to me at least, it does seem far more plausible that t-cells are more a mitigating factor then lock downs.
If I am cherry picking, seems to be lots of cherry trees to pick from.
I see no reason why t-cell should not offer some protection, like it does with other coronaviruses. And why we would assume that everyone is just as susceptible when we know the risk profile varies wildly.
EDIT: for your explaining your edit of "Life Care Center in Kirkland", the reason they have more antibodies is that we all know the older you get the less t-cell protection you have. A "life care" center one assumes is full of old people, hence lower t-cell protection. And it explains why children have more protection as their t-cell protection is stronger.
At the end of May, however, an immunological study by the University of Zurich was published, which for the first time showed that the usual antibody tests that measure antibodies in the blood (IgG and IgM) can detect at most about one fifth of all coronavirus infections.

At the same time, the Swiss study may explain why children usually develop no symptoms (due to frequent contact with previous corona cold viruses), and why even hotspots such as New York City found an antibody prevalence (IgG/IgM) of at most 20% – as this already corresponds to herd immunity.
The Swiss study has in the meantime been confirmed by several more studies:
A Swedish study showed that people with mild or asymptomatic disease often neutralized the virus with T-cells without the need to produce antibodies. Overall, T-cell immunity was about twice as common as antibody immunity.

A large Spanish antibody study published in Lancet showed that less than 20% of symptomatic people and about 2% of asymptomatic people had IgG antibodies.
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...
A German study (preprint) showed that 81% of the people who had not yet had contact with the new corona virus already had cross-reactive T-cells and thus a certain background immunity (due to contact with previous corona cold viruses).

A Chinese study in the journal Nature showed that in 40% of asymptomatic persons and in 12.9% of symptomatic persons no IgG antibodies are detectable after the recovery phase.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0965-6
Another Chinese study with almost 25,000 clinic employees in Wuhan showed that at most one fifth of the presumably infected employees had IgG antibodies (press article).

A small French study (preprint) showed that six of eight infected family members of Covid patients developed a temporary T-cell immunity without antibodies.

The main advantage of the low-carb diet is that it may cause you to want to eat less. Even without counting calories, overweight people tend to eat fewer calories on low carb. Sugar and starch may increase your hunger, while avoiding them may decrease your appetite to a more manageable level. If your body wants to have an appropriate number of calories, you don’t need to bother counting them. Thus, calories count, but you don’t need to count them.

And the measurements for beef in regard to climate change was a global average, using Brazil burning down Amazon forests. Unless you're eating that beef you can find beef that is carbon neutral or even a carbon sink. It uses up land we can't grow crops on and without meats we wouldn't have enough.
