MedCram - Medical Lectures Explained CLEARLY
Excess deaths are deaths above what is historically expected during a period of time. Dr. Seheult of https://www.medcram.com explains how excess deaths are a key tool in understanding the impact of an epidemic - whether it is caused by influenza, COVID 19, or another virus - and helps dispel ideas of inaccurate death certificates by going through the steps of filling a death certificate out. An interesting hypothesis has emerged (that was initially formulated on a supercomputer) about the possible role of bradykinin in COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. The researchers surmise that bradykinin storm may have a greater impact than a cytokine storm as others have suggested (This video was recorded September 3, 2020).
