Mangaluru: None younger than 20 has died of coronavirus in Dakshina Kannada


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (SP)

Mangaluru, Jun 12: The second wave of coronavirus infection has proved yet again that the pandemic, at least as far as the state is concerned, does not result in deaths of small children. In Dakshina Kannada alone, over 7,000 people aged less than 20 were infected and no one in this age group has lost his or her life.

From March 1 to June 5, a total of 45,030 persons were infected in Dakshina Kannada district. Out of them, 16,440 belonged to the age group of less than 30. Even though such a large number of young people were infected, only one person died, which means, the death rate for under 30 age group because of this disease is 0.006%. Out of 7,232 persons aged up to 20, who usually are students, no one has lost life. This is to be noted. As at June 5, 1,318 persons aged less than 20 are being treated in the district, while 2,663 in the age group of between 20 and 30 years are being treated, sources said.

In Dakshina Kannada district, the death rate was very less even in the first wave. In the first wave, out of 702 persons who died till November 19, 2020, only two aged between 5 and 20 had died. In the second wave, out of the total death count of 205 till June 5, not a single is from the age group of less than 20, which normally forms of students.

Dr Ashok, Covid19 district nodal officer, said that children and young people normally are not too much affected by corona. Usually, this age group has better immunity against diseases and also as they do not come in contact with others during the period of infection, they recover well, he added.

    Jossey, Whatever may be one's education, how communist and global elites controlled BigTech heavily control the search result information including google, yahoo, msn only favouring them or Big Pharma or giving out left leaning information or their fact-checkers refuting others' views. Only DuckDuckGo search engine gives right leaning information. So specially covid, vaccination, children plague better to search with both search engines to get clear picture so not to get fooled or brainwashed.

    In today's TOI Dr Ashok H district nodal officer, has clearly mentioned that when patients succumb due to comorbidities, they are considered as Covid deaths , if RTPCR was positive. And as I have mentioned earlier a positive test DOES NOT imply INFECTION, it only indicates presence of viruses(dead or alive) in the nose or throat (which is obvious if anyone visits a hospital where the viral load is high) Therefore if comorbidities were treated well ( if treatable) they would not have died also there is a difference in dying BECAUSE of Covid and dying WITH covid.

    Correct, these days more of covid deaths only and hardly any other deaths. All other diseases have vanished ? or people get miraculously healed or very few cases or cases reduced? Looks like this universal RTPCR viral test takes care of corona viruses including previous years' seasonal common cold and flu, adeno viruses and future Covid 23,24,25 viruses or future seasonal flu viruses... to push more vaccines (or future only vaccines?) and more business for Big Pharma and globalist elites.

    By jabbing indiscriminately, randomly and without any scientific planning, the virus is said to have mutated and become more virulent; the experts are not sure whether the vaccine is effective against the latest Delta mutant! Also the opportunistic infections will flourish especially in rural areas for which we do not have sufficient supplies of medications, also medication costs are very prohibitive! Another cause of worry is the transmission from humans to lions??

    Younger people do not suffer from comorbidities. Even a year ago, the statistics in the developed word (particularly USA) showed that Corona was an issue for those above the age of 70 - as 98% of the deaths happened in this age group as well as people in this age group had high number of comorbidities. So all the lockdown was sheer pointless madness.

    Yes day by day pandemic scare is getting exposed, this is the worldwide phenomenon and based on that data I was calling for opening up of schools and colleges without any mask mandates or vaccines from last year itself. But our mislead politicians by vaccine industries and govt babus had imposed strict lockdown measures which were unscientific and uncalled for. Time to end this planndemic hoax and to bring back our economy back on track along with education deprived youngsters should catch up with lost time. End all distance and harmful sanitizer mandates too along with masks and unproven vaccines. No more dalali of vaccine industries by any govts. End the tests that are never intended to test for covid., and infections doesn't prove they have any disease by this test to be precise.
