[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2305180, member: 68789"] The BMJ article reflects, in my opinion, the fact that our understanding is still in the very early stages. Yes, our knowledge of this new virus and the human immune system’s reaction to it will, I hope, develop more as time goes on. Researchers have my admiration. In the meantime, there has been a statistical increase in excess deaths, and while the charts show these as patterns and numbers, which we can analyse and question, each of these deaths is a person, an individual. I’m reminded of Sissy in Dickens’ Hard Times’ whose response to Gradgrind’s extolling of utilitarianism was to remind him that each ‘fact’ was a human being. [/QUOTE]
