This is how News Media can divert attention from SARS-CoV-2 real problems.
On March 17th, 2020 at 5:25 PM (GMT-3), a responsible publication came out discussing possible high mortality rates in the USA and UK based on a research from the Imperial College London COVID-19 Response Team. Access the publication at: https://lnkd.in/drdGjhr.
A little bit ealier, same day, at 02:30 PM, another publication came out (https://lnkd.in/dAwXc4y) "LINKING" the same Imperial College London COVID-19 Response Team report with "AIR POLLUTION", citing a totally biased (by ecologic fallacy and uncontrolled confounding effects) Chinese study published back in 2003) about SARS fatality and air pollution. (Attached here https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/81878004.pdfhttps://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/81878004.pdf)
What is the intention of this second publication? To be serious about SARS-CoV-2, helping bringing important information and urgent measures to be taken by the population and orient people with this virus outbreak or anticipatedly putting in people´s minds that pollution now is the root of viruses outbreaks?
