You're right. Another issue is the age divide. Younger people: harder hit economically, less so by the virus; older people: harder hit by the virus, less so economically. This can only worsen the class fissure which had already developed along generational lines.
- icelancer 6y agoMedian age of death is well over 70 years of age. It's obvious who this virus strikes.
- blast 6y agoYes, that's partly what I meant to say.
- dragonwriter 6y agoYounger people are less likely to die as quickly from acute respiratory failure from the virus, but if the indications of various delayed and lasting effects are at all accurate, probably are, on average, losing more QALYs to the virus, and so are arguably harder, if less obviously so, hit.
- kharak 6y agoCould you link to some studies or articles about this? I've heard speculations, but haven't seen evidence to back it up.
- frockington1 6y agoI haven;t seen any non sensationalized evidence regarding long term effects of this virus (health, economically this will permanently cripple many nations). Can you link some health articles?
