Areas of Ontario with poorer air quality saw more severe COVID-19 cases: study

“This adds to existing evidence that air pollution is a silent killer,” said Chen Chen, an environmental epidemiologist at the University of California and lead author of the study published inThe study looked at more than 150,000 COVID-19 cases in Ontario patients in 2020. It broke out how many of those patients were admitted to hospital because of the disease, how many were transferred to intensive care units and how many died.

The scientists then combined the health and pollution data, using statistical methods to weed out the effects of more than 10 different “confounding factors,” such as pre-existing conditions and economic status. The chances of hospital admission increased 15 per cent. Intensive care admissions increased 30 per cent and death rates went up 18 per cent.

But it wouldn't be a surprise. Those contaminants are all known to irritate lungs and lung function, and COVID-19 is a pulmonary disease.

Stop the BS. People are not eating it up anymore. More people are waking up to the whole theatre day by day.

Another stupid study paid for by ? Airborne disease poor air quality duh more quality. Not rocket science

WE'VE KNOWN THIS SINCE 2020. Please don't let the ignorant anti-vaxxer trolls in the comments fool you. Air exchange and filtration have always been key with COVID. I'm tired of the ignorance...

Study suggests? So it’s not actually scientific facts? Classic CP24 right there.

Yeah…ok, linked to lack of vaccination more like, but let’s go with air quality 🤣🤣

finally something that makes sense.

Shut up!!! We do not care about this anymore? Didn't you see the parties at the beach this weekend

Trying to tie this into green initiatives obviously haha

But what do the piss measurements say?

I guess the cp24 journalist were in Davos.

And then you wonder why people has lost respect for journalists and journalism. They totally lost common sense.

The air is different every block?

Bhahahahaha…. Hear the narrative… climate change tied to COVID What a joke! cdnpoli onpoli
