      31:23 Ivor then finishes by telling us a rise in COVID again is normal anyway, and confuses COVID deaths with winter excess death. He then claims we should get immunity in the summer....A fifth?! contradictory explanation for where immunity comes from.pic.twitter.com/9i7remklmz

      I'm actually going to stop there, except for this last phrase, which actually made me feel a bit sick. "people pushing this would have blood on their hands next winter". Okay. Real talk.pic.twitter.com/Z3vRzfXmWg

      We are living in a pandemic, a public health emergency. For most of us we will shrug off the virus with no problem, but very many of us will die or suffer long-term health problems of a PREVENTABLE disease. All we have to protect ourselves is our behaviors.

      We lost over 600 colleagues in this country, over 50,000 fellow men and women, and stand to lose a lot more if we don't rapidly cut this pseudoscience shit out and start working together. If we all washed our hands, wore masks, kept our distance, and avoided unnecessary travel...

      ...it would be under control and we could reopen the economy, protect the hospitals and get back to normal life. I've seen first hand the lives saved by lockdown and our sacrifices in March. So much was lost. That CANNOT be all for naught.

      So summary: - Ivor Cummins @FatEmperor is a charlatan, and please tell everyone you know and see on social media - this pseudoscientific BS will get PEOPLE KILLED. - Listen to the guidelines, take care of each other, be kind, and STAY INFORMED. Okay now I need a drink. /end

      The IFRs you quote seem low. Iceland based of 10 deaths and not age adjusted (adjusting for age brings up to 0.5). CDC estimate IFR at 0.65. From meta-review by @GidMK et al (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.23.20160895v4.full.pdf+html …) IFR very age dependent, and thus depends a countries demography.pic.twitter.com/4cvSNtN3pW

      You can see Covid is worse than Flu from the US stats. An average of 37,000 Americans died from Flu related illness per year over the last decade. 200,000 Americans have died from covid already (in ~7 months). Source (CDC) :https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html …

      That's a fairly common myth. In fact, in the U.S. >95% of COVID deaths had COVID as the underlying causehttps://link.medium.com/LSrjSvJkO9

          Hmmm cause of death on a certificate. Where are the autopsies to corroborate what the death certificate states?
