| #4 Lancet went hard left a decade ago when their current editor took over. Read up on all the Iraq War casualty bullshit they ran with. |

| #3 I wandered around the article’s website, followed some links, and ended up with this old thing from the New England Journal of Medicine in answer to the question how Covid-19 asymptomatic rates compare to normal influenza: MEDICAL NEWS | PHYSICIAN'S FIRST WATCH March 17, 2014 Most Flu Is Asymptomatic By Joe Elia Influenza, whether of the seasonal or pandemic variety, is asymptomatic in most people with serologically confirmed infection, according to a study in the Lancet Respiratory Medicine. Researchers studied five successive cohorts of people in England during the 2006-2011 flu seasons. The cohorts ranged in size from 600 to 3500, and all members provided blood samples before and after each flu season. Their households were contacted weekly to identify flu-like illness and symptoms. On average, roughly 20% of the unvaccinated had serologic evidence of influenza infection, but up to three quarters of the infected were asymptomatic. The proportions did not vary significantly between seasonal and pandemic influenzas. The pandemic H1N1 strain was associated with less severe symptoms than the seasonal H3N2 strain. A commentator says an important unanswered question is how much the asymptomatic cases contribute to flu transmission |

| #2 Yes, those experts. They're on the up-and-up and not political at all. |
