COVID-19: Who gets sick? Is it really deadly? | Scientific Research in Simple Terms, Part 2

Описание: COVID, 1 year into the pandemic: We examine the myths and misconceptions you've likely have heard. What do we now know about the virus? We cover death rates, herd immunity, who ends up in hospital, comparisons with the flu, and more. Hear the best medical and scientific evidence, explained in simple terms! This video is the prelude for our other videos discussing the importance and safety of the vaccines.

=============================
0:00 Intro
0:23 Early case fatality rates - China
0:23 Early case fatality & hospitalization rates - NYC
1:28 Asymptomatic cases
2:20 Myth #1: The high number of asymptomatic cases means COVID isn’t a big deal ?
3:34 Robust infection fatality rates
5:02 Myth #2: Waiting for natural herd immunity is good idea ?
5:47 Death tolls compared
6:41 Myth #3: People dying of COVID-19 this year would’ve died anyway, from other causes ?
7:52 Myths #4 & #5: Healthy people don’t get severe COVID-19 & die & COVID-19 is no worse than the flu ?
9:34 What ICU is like
10:31 COVID long-haulers
