Oh. Hmmm. Still would likely be due to a difference in social factors and related patterns. Not the same ones. But in this case too. Sorry. Totally thought we were talking about spanish flu there.

Not in the least! It's just that a very short time ago, you were so unfamiliar with "cause" and "effect" that you expressed the inability to see how people posting anti-semitic rants could lead to harm to actual people, and now, you understand cause and effect so well that you're comfortable claiming (without any fact-checkable details, of course) that there are flaws in a specialist's analysis of material in their field. Excellent progress, you've clearly been hitting the books.

For those quoting different mortality rates for this virus, one of the main doctors working on this in the US explained that people with already existing lung issues were much more vulnerable to this, so the higher the smoking rate in a country, the higher the mortality rate will be. This is another reason it affects the elderly more, since their generations did more smoking than the younger generations.
What I am still wondering about, and need to look into for people I know, is why diabetics are also more in danger from this virus.

"People with diabetes are more susceptible to developing infections, as high blood sugar levels can weaken the patient's immune system defenses."
This is a problem I run into a lot in the Anesthesia field. Many diabetics do not understand how not controlling it can have such system-wide devastating consequences.

There is a growing suspicion (probably biased) that the numbers reported by Turkey have very much been doctored.

Actually i would say it is implausible that turkey has not distorted the facts about its infected count. Why? Because turkey has only recently admitted they even had any cases yet they had been surrounded by nations with signifficant counts for weeks, they have a super porace border, and their medical aparatus is poor. They had every reason to be one if the earliest nations recording cases and at some of the highest numbers. I would consider it bizarre if they in fact didnt doctor any outgoing info.
