during the Spanish Flu of 1918, it is theorized that cytokine storm also played a huge part. That flu killed a ton of young healthy people (usually above the age of 25 I believe), and they thought that the way it worked was that young people have healthier immune systems and stronger immune responses, so that's why the cytokine storm was so lethal. But oddly, the 18 and 20 year olds were much less affected. One theory to explain this is that the Russian flu, a milder pandemic that occurred in the 1890's, was the first major viral infection experienced by people in that age group, and that it reprogrammed their immune response in such a way that it created a loophole in their immune responses which the Spanish Flu was able to take advantage of. As COVID has shown us, cytokine storm does not necessarily favor the young, so this seems to make sense. This is also a good argument for vaccinations at birth

then again, if there were to be a pandemic of ultratuberculosis that takes advantage of a loophole created by BCG vaccine we would also be turbofucked so who knows

Ok, what's up with those "ventilators" ol' Muskie sent to those hospitals? Are they CPAPs that he bought for show or are they real ventilators? Can someone back this up? My wife is yelling at me for believing fake news for sending her that.

He just placed a order with a legit company.

I'm sure you can still buy them with the right amount of money but it will be probably marked up.

To clarify, she's saying the claims that they're NOT ventilators is the fake news. I don't believe Elon Musk could find his way out of a cardboard box so of course I think there's some catch.

There is some similar speculation with SARS-CoV2 that exposure to OC43, another coronavirus that circulates in the pediatric population, confers some partial immunity. There was some research back in the day that also indicated cross-reactivity between OC43 antibodies and SARS. This would partially explain why the new virus spares the young.

from the data linked:


looks like 18.7% from my math (74 + 1532) cases 44 and under / 8549 total cases in hospital

e: from same data source (https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data.page), death rate 44 and under appears to be 0.34%
