New Research on Aging and COVID-19

"The genetic variation that leads to a longer lifespan is significantly associated with a lower risk of COVID-19 infection.
The risk of been infected is decreased by 68% per additional 10 years of life."

"At the phenotypic level, we applied multiple biological aging clock models and detected an association between the biological age acceleration and future incidence and severity of COVID19. This was observed both for all subjects and for the individuals free of chronic disease."

"Together, we established a causal relationship between aging and COVID19, which is defined by genetic variance for longevity, the rate of aging, and the burden of chronic diseases. Our data support the possibility of using anti-aging drugs as the drugs that protect against COVID-19"

Thanks for the information!

Do you think that a water filter with reverse osmosis can remove viruses, parasites, or bacteria?

Culligan is a popular water filtration brand in Canada. They claim the reverse osmosis membranes have openings as small as 1 micron (1000 nanometers) in diameter. So as long as the viruses, parasites, or bacteria are larger than that, i would say yes.

However, Covid-19 is claimed to be b/w 50 and 140 nanometers in diameter, so could pass through these membranes.

This virus certainly novel, in many ways. I don't think the water supply is how it is spread. I think it is airborne, in droplets that are too large to pass through a filter.

I’m trying to find the study, but there was one recently that showed for younger people, being obese and/or smoking resulted in far greater deaths from COVID-19 than for people of the same age that were not obese and/or didn’t smoke.

But for those 80+, the death rate was exactly the same for those who were obese and smoked vs those of the same age that didn’t. 

It just goes to show how bad of a risk factor age itself is. So much that very drastic lifestyle/Heath factors like obesity and smoking were completely invisible in the data, overshadowed by the much worse effects of age.

well for me... the risk factor was getting it, and my priority was not to get it.

and i live in a city where around 20% of the people don't even beleive it is real.

but now that 80% are vaccinated, the 20 percent will get the Delta and possible the Epsilon variant and some will learn the hard lesson.

Actually no, they won't.

It is astounding.

This pandemic isn't going anywhere soon... we best get our bodies into a state to protect us.

When Billions haven't yet even had one vaccine, we can look forward to variant after variant. So even when they get the first set of vaccines, then we have to go around the globe with the boosters.

This must have been how wartime felt, to a certain degree.
