We calculated standardised mortality ratios (SMR) using age-specific case fatality rates for COVID-19 and the age structure of the population of Africa and of other continents. Compared to a European or Northern American population, the standardised mortality ratio was only 0.22 and 0.25, respectively, corresponding to reduction of deaths rates to a quarter.

Some COVID-19 Patients' Immune Systems Turn Deadly The immune system is there to help us fight infection, but sometimes it wreaks more havoc than the disease itself. | will SARS-CoV2 infected people develop immunity? | In this study, we collected blood from COVID-19 patients who have recently become virus-free and therefore were discharged, and analyzed their SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody and T cell responses. We observed SARS-CoV-2-specific humoral and cellular immunity in the patients. Both were detected in newly discharged patients, suggesting both participate in immune-mediated protection to viral infection. | Neutral |
A major difference between the flu and COVID-19 is that the former has both preventative and curative treatments, and the latter does not. | How does the coronavirus differ from seasonal flu? | Temporal analyses of laboratory results revealed that compared to influenza, patients with COVID-19 exhibited a continued increase in the white blood cell count, rapid decline of hemoglobin, more rapid increase in blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and D-dimer, and higher level of alanine transaminase, C-reactive protein, ferritin, and fibrinogen. | Neutral |

With the 2019 coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, it's especially important to understand that no supplement, diet, or other lifestyle modification other than physical distancing, also known as social distancing, and proper hygiene practices can protect you from COVID-19. | Does Vitamin D impact COVID-19 prevention and treatment? | A principal defence against uncontrolled inflammation, and against viral infection in general, is provided by T regulatory lymphocytes (Tregs). Treg levels have been reported to be low in many COVID-19 patients and can be increased by vitamin D supplementation. Low vitamin D levels have been associated with an increase in inflammatory cytokines and a significantly increased risk of pneumonia and viral upper respiratory tract infections. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increase in thrombotic episodes, which are frequently observed in COVID-19. Vitamin D deficiency has been found to occur more frequently in patients with obesity and diabetes. These conditions are reported to carry a higher mortality in COVID-19. If vitamin D does in fact reduce the severity of COVID-19 in regard to pneumonia/ARDS, inflammation, inflammatory cytokines and thrombosis, it is our opinion that supplements would offer a relatively easy option to decrease the impact of the pandemic. | Neutral |

Most people will experience a mild case with a 2-week recovery. | Can people recover from COVID-19? | Epidemiological, clinical and immunological studies from COVID-19 recovered patients are particularly important to understand the disease and to prepare better for potential outbreaks in the future. | Neutral |
Both vitamin C and vitamin D have been implicated in boosting immune response. | Does Vitamin C impact COVID-19 prevention and treatment? | Dietary supplementation has not been linked to COVID-19 prevention. | Neutral |
5G mobile networks do not cause or spread COVID-19. | what is the origin of COVID-19 | The COVID19, which appeared to originate in China in December 2019, has spread worldwide pandemically. | Neutral |
High blood pressure may mean higher risk of hospitalization or severe illness. | what kinds of complications related to COVID-19 are associated with hypertension? | hypertension may be an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality in patients with COVID-19. Patients who previously used RAAS inhibitors may have a better prognosis. | Neutral |
SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, originated from wild animals (likely bats) in China. | Can animals spread COVID-19? | There is currently no indication that feline- or canine-to-human transmission can occur, though there is rising evidence of the reverse. | Neutral |
A face shield is a clear plastic shield covering the entire front of the face, and people are wondering if it offers better protection against the coronavirus than a face mask | Can face masks protect me from the coronavirus disease? | In this study, we demonstrated, using avian coronavirus of infectious bronchitis virus to mimic SARSCoV2, that medical masks and N95 masks remained their blocking efficacy after being steamed on boiling water even for 2 hours. | Neutral |
Based on available evidence, children do not appear to be at higher risk for COVID-19 than adults. | what are the mortality rates overall and in specific populations | The COVID-19 population-level mortality rate (per 100,000 person-years) increased with age: from 0.1 deaths among 30-39 year olds to 9.5 deaths among 80 year olds. | Neutral |
Hydroxychloroquine, on the other hand, completely lacks antiviral activity, thus providing no scientific basis for its further use in COVID-19 patients. | are there any drugs that work for SARS-CoV or SARS-CoV-2 in animals? | Thus, our goal is to test the most active antivirals identified in adequate animal models infected with SARS-CoV-2, to add more information about possible in vivo efficacy. In turn, successful antivirals could be tested in clinical trials as treatments for infected patients, but also as pre-exposure prophylaxis to avoid novel infections until an effective and safe vaccine is developed. | Neutral |
Smoking marijuana could make the lungs more susceptible to covid-19 | Can smoking cannabis (weed) help in preventing COVID-19? | An epidemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) began in December 2019 and triggered a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). We aimed to find risk factors for the progression of COVID-19 to help reducing the risk of critical illness and death for clinical help. | Neutral |
Scientists now suspect this coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, originated in a bat and somehow hopped to another animal, possibly the pangolin, which then passed it on to humans | what is the origin of COVID-19 | Covid19 infection began in Wuhan (Hubei, China) in December, 2019. | Neutral |
COVID symptoms include a high fever, a new cough, and loss of smell and taste | what are the early symptoms of COVID-19? | Anosmia and ageusia as primary symptoms of COVID-19 | Neutral |
hydroxychloroquine may cause direct myocardial toxicity and worsen cardiomyopathy, a problem that can lead to heart failure. | are heart complications likely in patients with COVID-19? | the greater susceptibility of individuals with underlying cardiovascular conditions to develop more severe Covid-19 with higher mortality rate is likely to be confounded, in part, by age and the type of co-morbidities. Patients with heart failure or chronic kidney disease might show an excess risk | Neutral |
People infected with the coronavirus carry immune cells known as T cells that help the body fight off the infection | will SARS-CoV2 infected people develop immunity? | The CD4 + memory exploiting could help immune system to recall immunity of already know antigens against coronaviruses, avoiding or limiting "lung crash" until virus specific immunity develops and making it faster and prolonged. Finally, this administration could be helpful not only in already infected patients, but also before infection. In fact, people could have an immune system more ready when the contact with the Covid-19 will occur. | Neutral |
It's a common misconception that COVID-19 is no deadlier than the flu. | How does the coronavirus differ from seasonal flu? | There are significant differences in the clinical and laboratory courses between COVID-19 and influenza. | Neutral |
