Why Dengue is MORE lethal the second time and how it correlates to CoVid19

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Who?

He had almost no views until this Corona shite, and seems to have ran with it, putting out 5 shite vids per week.

I'd not take anything of his seriously. He's just in it for views. Not a medical expert. Just a guy with a fluffed CV.

While Martenson calls himself a scientist in the video’s titles, his claim to the label is, according to him, based on a 1994 PhD from Duke’s Department of Pathology where he specialized in toxicology. While he published scientific research in the ’90s, for at least the last decade Martenson has focused on predicting stagflation and other large shifts in financial markets.

“He’s not a practicing physician, he’s just a guy with a science background who’s taken an interest in this virus,”

Do you take seriously this peer reviewed article?

Or, are you a medical scientist who can refute their research?

What does this have to do with the alarmist YouTube guy who has increased his reach by irresponsible reporting?

I am aware of dengue being very serious 2nd time around. Have been for years.

At the contrary, only a dumbass would watch such a YouTube video and take it seriously.

Let me know if we're supposed to be afraid so I can start biting my nails and whatnot.

Here's a real doctor, telling you NOT to do exactly what this guy does regarding tracking the virus' spread - go straight to the numbers. He's also just a hell of a lot more level-headed and informed, too...
