Based Nordbro! Love it when you pop into these threads.
How's your statistical analysis of deaths going?

>lifelong disabilities
There has been much rumors and gossip about "lifelong disabilities" from Covid, and I've been consistently asking the people making these claims for sources here for months now. So far I've gotten very little of substance. These rumors seem to mostly come from media clickbait articles, that exaggerate the findings in studies. The studies I've been provided have all been low sample size, no double blinds, no reproducibility and with very vague and ambiguous conclusions. Basically reddit-tier science. Also, the hysterics over in the /cvg/ are often guilty of this behavior.
Perhaps Covid-19 will turn out to have slightly higher incidences of things like lung scarring (all pulmonary disease causes lung scarring, no one was terrified of pneumonia before this media hype because of that.) The question is of course how much and how well people recover from it (yes, people recover from lung damage.) It's doubtful we'll see any proper long-term studies of any merit until... well... it has been long-term.
For now keep asking people making these claims for sources and be sure to check them out meticulously. When you see studies with maybe a couple of dozen patients out of China, then I think it's pretty safe to disregard it.

Oh, it's trudging along. Of course, here in the Scandinavian countries we can barely see any effects of gorona at all. I think Sweden is the most interesting country, with it's no lockdown or mask policies. They are going to end up completely within the 20 year average for deaths at the end of the year. It's harder to track statistics in the US, because they don't have a proper centralized statistical authority, but I'm trying the best I can. From what I can see, there are several years in the recent past they have had greater excess mortalities than this one too.
I'm going to publish my findings here when the end of year statistics start coming in, probably won't be until January or February.

Seems I have been using slightly older numbers for life expectancy, thanks for pointing this out, I'll adjust my pastas. The point still stands I think. When the average fatality from a disease is older than the life expectancy, then I think it's not really reasonable to be this hysterical about it.
But then again, we've seen a lot of unreasonable behavior this year, haven't we?

Thank you for all of your work based Norwaybro!

It’s fine. Just when forced to take one, take whichever they will take in Israel.

Last I heard they're buying the Russian one, no idea if that's accurate. Still, personally I don't think anyone should take vaccines against such a harmless disease at all. None of them have been tested properly when considered through the old standards of vaccine testing, and in my opinion even those standards were way too lax.

This. I've only seen clickbait blogs sourcing what are 95% certain to be ccp psyops. And yet these supposed 'long term effects' are the go-to excuse after debunking every other threat posed by this virus.
Similar to the 'you can get the virus more than once' meme, or 'immunity only lasts a few months' meme... Both of which seem to stem from the existence of two dozen documented cases where certain individuals with compromised immune systems contracted slightly different strains of the virus. In each case they were asymptomatic and survived. Given that it's 20-something cases out of 70 million known covid cases so far, seems like pretty good odds that it's not a problem... And yet even the chief science advisor for the UK government is happy to repeat these memes in press conferences. SAGE is literally worse than useless.
When I point out that the UK had something like 50,000 excess deaths from flu in 2017/18, the pro-lockdown cunts just say "well we should have locked down then too". You cannot reason with these people.
