Unofficial Apolyton Predicts

[Bereta_Eder]

There is clearly pneumonia in Greece. It's silly to pretend otherwise.

What's the study you mentioned?

The numbers I was referring to were WHO 2014 numbers, age adjusted pneumonia/influenza deaths per country. Here's a chart:

[Aeson]

Here's another source for pneumonia deaths in Greece:

Not a high number (I think lower than the US in this case), but obviously not 0.

Here's a source talking about antibiotic resistant pneumonia in Greece:

You're just being ridiculous when you try to pretend there is no pneumonia in Greece.

I said only amazingly dumb people get to get pneumonia not that is zero.

bloomberg is a piece of **** btw

has predicted that we're out of the euro 10 times in the past. on par with FT

that's the first study that also popped up when I did a search.

it's bogus

FYROM has the lowest cases of pneumonia in the world


yeah right

next

[Aeson]

I said only amazingly dumb people get to get pneumonia not that is zero.

Pneumonia is non existant here.

[Aeson]

FYROM has the lowest cases of pneumonia in the world

It is "death rate from", not "cases of".

[Bereta_Eder]

figure of speech.
it's virtually non existant if your brain barely function and just get to the doctor for free if you get a fever
if you don't... then your loss


hospital infections is another beast as is resistent bugs due to oversubscription of antibiotics (we give them by the spades)

[Bereta_Eder]

It is "death rate from", not "cases of".

same difference

[Aeson]

"Death rate from" is very different than "cases of".

[Bereta_Eder]

anyway you measure it, the study is eye watering wrong

[Aeson]

Pneumonia is non existant here.

You got so many millions living on the streets that are most probably unreported.

leaving aside the millions without health care that simply die. unreported

That's not true either. The system may have its problems, but free and/or cheap clinics offering basic to intermediate benefits are available. And many states provide free health care for those who make below a specific income margin.

Greece has seen a massive depression in recent years which led to the healthcare budget cut drastically.

Our healthcare system, while problematic and inconsistent, is still better than that of Greece or Russia. Now if you brought up Canada, Japan or Germany you could have a point... But you don't.

[Bereta_Eder]

wow...
