You're doing the lords work, arista. I'm sure bots appreciates it, you know how he loves to see the numbers.

The Brazilian government has apparently pulled all their virus data down off the internet .. they’re in a crisis situation and winter is approaching which is apparently a very bad prospect

They are not as accurate but as we have had data every day it is still comparable on a weekly basis

Sadly Covid-19
has reached the Amazon in Brazil.

[The lungs of the world are the Amazon,
but the world now has a cough, a deadly cough,
and it's spreading through the most remote
parts of the planet with incredible speed.
The Amazon river and its many tributaries
are magnificent, the rainforest is almost
impenetrable, its human population and
its biodiverse inhabitants of animals and
plants are beyond equal in the world.]

It could wipe out indigenous tribes

How on earth could a virus with a less than 1% mortality rate wipe out indigenous tribes ffs.

[Kizzy]

I don't know if it will wipe them out... why would it? These pepole are healthy lean people. It's not that type at high risk is it?

Fat diabetic westerners are, those with high blood pressure and cholesterol, chronic inflammation, liver or kidney damage.

Not saying they won't be affected but why would it wipe them out as opposed to us?

[Jake.]

Could it be due to our immune systems being affected by illnesses more? Idk

Well you see chap they don’t have any medicine or hospitals in the jungle no electricity to run a ventilator.

[thesheriff443]

O wait they have a witch doctor so they will be fine.

Less than 5% need hospital treatment, and that's a generous estimate. Most people get a mild cough, sore throat, or no symptoms at all. It's not wiping out any tribes... it's not smallpox. We've circled right back round to the massive hyperbole with Covid, apparently.

Not only that but you also have the effect of a "natural lifespan" ... most people in remote tribes will have a life expectancy of about 50. Some will live to 60-70 but that will be thought of as "very very old". The vast majority of Covid hospitalisations are overweight men over the age of 50 ... and in remote Amazonian tribes, that demographic simply doesn't exist in the first place.

Have you got the latest figures coming from remote parts of the amazon jungle.

Figures are based a mixed community’s, so it’s a fact it kills more people from ethnic backgrounds than white people die from Covid so the numbers are going to be higher

Because you don’t go into a remote tribe in the Amazon and find Barry and barbrah living there after they did a council exchange from Yorkshire.

These tribes live in small numbers in a close nit community, can see any one staying in their hut for two weeks.

It kills more men than women and it’s the men that hunt for food, it may not wipe them out over night but repeated out breaks of the virus could wipe them out.

Oh my bad I missed out the words ‘elders’

Oh good point Sherriff

You're equating black and other ethnic groups as the same, they're not the same. The findings so far suggest it is a socio-economic issue, if I had to guess at a cause for the discrepancy in the UK I'd say the reason was dietry. Salt possibly?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.the...d-19-ons-finds

'The risk of Covid-19 death for people from Chinese and mixed ethnic groups was found to be similar to that for white people.

“These results show that the difference between ethnic groups in Covid-19 mortality is partly a result of socio-economic disadvantage and other circumstances, but a remaining part of the difference has not yet been explained,” the ONS said.'

No body really knows the answer at this stage, but those that got Covid bad have only been saved by being in intesive care and put on a ventilator, there is no intensive care or ventilators in the jungle, logic says the survival rate will be next to zero.

And I would hazard a guess that these tribes have no more than a hundred adults and children in a single tribe.
