Beat me to it.No increase in Victorian suicide rate as calls to helplines surge in pandemic
State Coroner reveals there's been no increase in the number of people dying by suicide this year, but Lifeline received 1000 daily calls from Victorians for the first time ever this week.www.theage.com.au
Hate to ruin a narrative...
You've looked at the death rate per capita over the last few months?

Its decision to carry on in the face of the pandemic has yielded a surge of deaths without sparing its economy from damage — a red flag as the United States and Britain move to lift lockdowns.www.nytimes.com

The speed of your reply indicates a genius level ability to make such an objective assessment of the data analysis.If you believe those dodgy calculations then you'll believe just about anything

Time will tellVery easy to realise that they came up with the formulas to suit the answer they wanted.

Hate to say it MacMum, because there’s a significant proportion of society that won’t follow the rules, or what’s best for Victoria.All I know is I'm well and truly over being locked down.
We (the majority) have done the right thing from the very start of the virus, understood why etc......now it's time to "unlock" us!
...and if this supposed bloody roadmap in the papers today is anything to go by, well this old Great Grandmother might just become a rebel rouser!
Why on earth must things be more difficult than they need to be?
Let us out in approx 2wks time, we agree to wear masks for at least the next 3-6mths, social distance and still hand sanitise at shops. If sick, get tested and don't go to work. That's it! No more! None of this a bit here and then a bit there and some more a bit later on. Fair dinkum.
K.I.S.S and OPEN VICTORIA up back to normal!

SARS-CoV-2 infection of human iPSC-derived cardiac cells predicts novel cytopathic features in hearts of COVID-19 patients
COVID-19 causes cardiac dysfunction in up to 50% of patients, but the pathogenesis remains unclear. Infection of human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes with SARS-CoV-2 revealed robust transcriptomic and morphological signatures of damage in cardiomyocytes. These morphological signatures include a...www.biorxiv.org
Study into cause of heart issues caused by COVID-19. Not a great story for widespread infections where you could end up with lasting health issues even from minor cases.

Excerpts of letter from Chris Masterjohn about this study:
The first randomized controlled trial (RCT) of vitamin D in COVID-19 has just been published. The results are astounding: vitamin D nearly abolished the odds of requiring treatment in ICU. Although the number of deaths was too small to say for sure, vitamin D may actually abolish the risk of death from COVID-19.
The results are absolutely stunning. 50% of the control group (13 people) required admission to the ICU. Only 2% of those in the vitamin D group (one person) required admission to the ICU.
Expressed as relative risk, vitamin D reduced the risk of ICU admission 25-fold. Put another way, it eliminated 96% of the risk of ICU admission. Expressed as an odds ratio, which is a less intuitive concept but is often used in statistics because it gives an estimate of the effect of the treatment that would be constant across scenarios with different levels of risk, vitamin D reduced the odds of ICU admission by 98%. Either way, vitamin D practically abolished the need for ICU admission.
All of the vitamin D patients were discharged without complications. Half the control group was discharged without ICU admission. Among the other half, 11 were eventually discharged from ICU, and 2 died.
Although there were, thankfully, too few deaths to run statistics on, since patients generally would be admitted to the ICU before dying, and since vitamin D nearly abolished the risk of ICU admission, we can infer that in a larger study with more deaths, vitamin D would probably abolish or nearly abolish the risk of death.
