Does anyone on here know where to find this recent Swiss Re Institute Covid report? I don't see it on Swiss Re's site, nor do I see any recent news articles mentioning it.

Screenshot of a Twitter post from Mike Hoerger:

The Swiss Re Institute suggests COVID will kill about 150,000 Americans this year (excess deaths), so it's more like a bad cancer than a bad flu. 

I would suggest talking to scientists who do Covid research and continue to take it seriously. My wife and I lead separate PhD programs. We homeschool so that our children do not experience the brain damage and other health problems from reinfections, which continue to pose a serious burden in 2026. It remains the most common chronic health condition in kids.

A key reason why it might appear "milder" is that about 2 million Americans have died from COVlD (excess deaths). Wipe out 2 million people most vulnerable to any health problem, it will almost always appear acutely milder.

    @mcnado I am looking at our PHO Bonnie Henry in British Columbia, doing a 'mild' presser over Hanta on a long holiday weekend (even jaded media caught that) - and if Ebola hits Canada she will turn to herd immunity

    In baseball 3 strikes, you're out - she fucked SARS1, SARS2, now likely Hanta

    and keeps failing upwards

        COVID and the Hantavirus.

        Trump is a debilitating disease all his own so why does there have to be a pandemic every time he’s in the White House as well?

          Before he joined the Trump administration last year, Christine was an Alabama-based urologist who specialized in penile implants. He has little public health experience and a history of far-right commentary and promoting conspiracy theories. He’s said the Covid pandemic led to a wider government plot to control people, compared the Biden administration to Nazi Germany and suggested the Covid vaccine had little effect in stopping the pandemic.

          He once hosted a YouTube show called “Erection Connection,” a professional YouTube series on erectile dysfunction for fellow urologists.

                Hi, these are the weekly (that is, and environs) toots.

                A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government.

                The West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant's 7 day running average hasn't been updated since 4/28, so I'm skipping it this week. The other two sites did get updated, and they follow this toot.

                WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistica. If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). The Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at @WADeptHealth

                      TK;DR — spreads fast. It is easy to catch in just a few moments exposure. Be alert to what happens next.

                      One of the reporters got it exactly right. “What you just told us, doctor, is frankly terrifying.” The doctor, an expert, also explicitly said “the messaging” heard in the report from CDC et. al., is just plain wrong. He said people need the facts so they can protect their health appropriately. He was not alarmist, just straight.

                      I’m reminded of the December before the quarantine, when a few individuals in China had been hospitalized, and soon died, from an unknown virus. In two months it spread around the world. That’s where we are, now, again. As a society we can and must do a better job this time. friends.

                          I am not a theorist BUT, the timing of the virus is "interesting". the geographical distribution of "tourists" going back to their countries combined with the lack of requirements is "interesting". if it's invent a theory, I'd say "someone" is planning a like lockdown because of soon, as to mask the fallout of and claim it " " to avoid collapsing
