| LjL | wut | 01:12 |
| LjL | can you explain why you think that's what it means | 01:12 |
| LjL | this is potentially important, and i had heard about it before, though i was probably negligent and didn't particularly add it to zotero, but... what this is saying, on its face, is that people "predominantly mild" COVID (so not "wiped out") develop diabetes at higher rates than people who had other respiratory disease that are not COVID (i.e. people who could be "wiped out" if they're weak anyway, because they did also have a respiratory disease) | 01:14 |
| LjL | so the suggestion is that there is a causal relationship, COVID causing increased diabetes rates | 01:15 |
