Didn't anyone proof read that! There are so many typos (extra full
stops in particular) that in places it's difficult to work out what
was meant.


After reading your post, I did. You were spot on about the typos. Shows
it to be genuine university stuff.

This is the most important bit and is astoundingly accurate:
q
What can we Conclude from the reports on healthcare worker deaths

If readers are confused by the mass of contradictory information, so are we.

What can be desumed by this post is that no one really knows what is
going on, least of all governments and professional associations which
seem at odds with news outlets as to how many of their members have died.

As our grandfathers used to say, when you do not know what is going on,
do nothing. This is what we plan to do from our privileged position:
observe and monitor the situation without jumping to conclusions.
/q

At least someone is respecting the elders.

"Astoundingly accurate"?? Er, it says "we don't know anything" so how
can it be accurate, or otherwise?

It is accurate in that they don't know anything and they say they don't
know anything. I'd draw a picture for you, but this is a text only group.

You can't accurately not know anything. I can't really imagine a
picture of not knowing something either! :-)
