Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

There is a big conceptual error. A large part of those currently counted as coronavirus deaths are not dying "caused by Corona," but with Corona as a secondary diagnosis. These people die of entirely different things but happen to have Corona as well. They would have died even without Corona. The University of Düsseldorf publishes the numbers every day of those who are in hospital and in intensive care with Corona as a secondary diagnosis. For weeks, this has been around 50%.

And do you believe that a corona infection as a secondary diagnosis has a positive effect on the "primary diagnosis" or that it might actually worsen the outcome?

It would be nice if that were the case. The true effects of Corona will only be determined in 10, 20 years, because a severe Covid illness, that is one that required hospital treatment, shortens life expectancy by years, in individual cases by decades.

Thanks for the insights! This is the most interesting post in what feels like 200 pages. And yes, I feel a bit stupid right now because I have skimmed almost all posts in this thread over the months...

And how do you know that? How can you say that with certainty today?
