    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    I am sorry to say that, but this is a problem of numbers, not one on the personal level. Who decides - the politicians and their helpers- has only the choice between bad and bad in an unclear situation. The question is not if you can hinder the bad, but if you can minimize the bad. I...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    Yes, but smittade (or so, = infected people) itself aren´t saying anything. Covid19 Deaths have risen with 15 people today. In Sweden there might die in each year 90.000 people, which would be 7500 in a month. I think the graph on wiki looks - so far - not bad. Another question is, if we are...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    I didn´t claim this. But in comparison to Ireland, which had similar numbers so far, Sweden is until now better. Furthermore, until now - but it may easily change - the numbers in Sweden would not be of general concern at all, if they won´t rise any further. (Interesting should also be the...

    Recognising and explaining functional neurological disorder, 2020, Stone et al

    @Woolie An algorithm in general says, for any functional subunit: "If A comes, then I do B" Now, if an virus would alter such an algorithm in any units inside our body, why should this be curable by CBT? Or GET?? Instead, with such a wrong algorithm in a nerve cell, GET may well induce damage...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    Here is the link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Sweden Until now it looks that Sweden starts much much better into the corona season than Ireland, which had similar numbers so far but made many measures. We will see.

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    New Zealand is an island where borders can be controlled not to ineffective, and even then it will take huge effort. I even doubt that you will manage to keep the status in the future, or you will need to isolate yourselves. In a world thousands years later from now, it might be possible, I...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    As I see the situation: The virus is here, and it will never ever vanish. Even when there is a vaccine, it will hardly be eradicated. For now the virus might be thrice as deadly than the flu, and this is asking for some attention. The Gompertz curve describes the (genuine) spread, so we will...

    Recognising and explaining functional neurological disorder, 2020, Stone et al

    Why should this identification be necessary? Even if there would be a wrong algorithm, it doesn ´t say by any means that this would be caused by believes. Right, it could be, but this "could" says nothing. A wrong (physiological) algorithm though, would be harder to cure compared to a wrong...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    This is no surprise, or should not, and it will continue, I strongly guess. It will be compared to about 180.000 excess deaths in early spring compared to 140.000 ones in the last very severe flu season in euromomo countries (which includes all severely covid-19 affected countries in Western...

    Recognising and explaining functional neurological disorder, 2020, Stone et al

    It´s not necessarly a placeholder. It could be a dysfuntion of nerves indeed, e.g. a reitertion of wrong patterns where though all algorithms function as they should, induced e.g. by way too much of otherwise normal actions, of e.g. this or that nutrition, e.g. through a viruses.

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    The implication of "normal live" is of course harm as well. After the Lehman crash, in the following years, diseases went up. There are more implication, of course. I think the mortality rate is now also by the WHO estimated to be in the range of 0.23, compared to 0,1 for flu. This is not...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    It´s covid-19 positive deaths, I guess. So it tells not much, and for sure not already the truth. See excess deaths on a wider range. How relevant at the epidemiological level is it then, do we have data?

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    No one doubts the peaks in march/april. But what does it mean in context. So euromomo countries had 2018 very high excess mortality from flue 140.000 over, say, 3-4 months now with corona in 6 weeks or so 190.000. Where now is the killer virus, yes , its not that it is no problem, but...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    @mango I got it from a vid linked to here, I think they still used euromomo data About the Nordic countries at about 9:00, may be best to start at about 8:30

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    @mango, I don´t say that Sweden has done everything right, especially not this point. But the overall numbers indicate that the virus is not the killer virus it had been thought. After all, the higher mortality in April in Sweden compared to other Nordic countries may be, partly, due to the low...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    @mango Although I think that the situation is still not understood, I am somehow surprised when I look at the numbers of Sweden, specifically. There is no correlation between new case and fatality - so far. Covid-19 deaths peaked early (begin of April, to be exact) and went steadily down...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    But until now there doesn´t seem to occur a comparable rise in new covid-19 disease in any area which experienced a significant rise of infections. I would find it plausible tough that in the autumn excess mortality may be a bit higher. Ironically, this may be due to too much protection from...

    A meta-ethnography of people with chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) and their support needs, 2020, Pilkington et al

    I ever thought that this is one of the main clues anyway. You cannot care for people if you handle them like things. This indeed sheds light on some carers. - I have worked with old people as well as with handicapped ones, and should know a bit what I am saying. True, things are there often not...

    Psychosomatic medicine and the psychologising of physical diseases

    I think there are some reports around, but they will stay anecdotical, I guess. One cancer patient was given an additional placebo by a doctor, who well noticed that his patient was going to leave the world. The doctor said, that the new drug has not already gone through all the trials, but it...

    Psychosomatic medicine and the psychologising of physical diseases

    This might be so or not, but its´s useless in the discussion anyway, at least at first instance: Because there is a normal sense of causation, which is used in everyday thinking and language, we just ask if psychological things would cause something like physiological things do. And this...
