About 3,000 retirees rallied in the Belarusian capital of Minsk for a third straight Monday to demand the resignation of authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko as mass protests of a disputed election continue to roil the country. They marched through the streets of Minsk carrying flowers and chanting for Lukashenko to “Go away!” after the Aug. 9 balloting that was widely seen as rigged. “How many grandmas should it take to oust one grandpa?” said one banner held by the protesters, referring to the 66-year-old president.

Kidney disease tied to high death rates in COVID patients | CIDRAP

“Our data demonstrate that renal impairment in patients admitted to intensive care with COVID‐19 is common and is associated with a high mortality and requirement for on‐going renal support after discharge from critical care,” the authors wrote. “Attention needs to be paid to patients with COVID‐19 with any form of renal impairment and every effort made to prevent progression of renal injury in order to reduce mortality.” The researchers also remarked that patients who require dialysis in the hospital have a much lower survival rate than those who don’t, which could have implications for resource allocation. “The impact on resource utilisation is considerable, especially in a pandemic situation where resources may have to be rationed,” they wrote.

Anti-lockdown advocate appears on radio show that has featured Holocaust deniers | Coronavirus | The Guardian

One of the three co-authors of a letter that calls for lockdowns to be abandoned in favor of herd immunity has appeared on a radio broadcast that previously featured multiple Holocaust deniers and antisemites.

Dr Martin Kulldorff of Harvard medical school appeared on the Richie Allen Show on 6 October to discuss the letter, described as the Great Barrington declaration, after the Massachusetts town where it was drawn up.

Kulldorff said he agreed to go on the program because it was important to reach all segments of the population with public health messages. The show was described as an “online platform for antisemitic conspiracy theorists and Holocaust deniers” by Hope not Hate, an organisation that monitors extremist groups.
