Would you care to point out in the article where you saw the words that you quoted? Mild heart damage does not occur. Heart damage does not occur. Damage does not even occur. The only one of those 3 words in the story is MILD and that occurance says the cases were mild. It does not mention damage.

after reading both I don't see the probem. 77 cases out of 1.65 would be rare. 34 out of 77 were hospitalized. Not even half That is exactly what the article says. I took that directly from your cut and paste.

Please explain what was wrong with the title. It just quotes the study. You may also note there were no deaths reported in the study. At least in your quote.

"Flaws" and "features" are arbitrary words that we assign to things as humans. I think you'll find most people, if given the choice, would choose not to die. So in that sense it's a "flaw" for us, isn't it?

Evolution on the other hand isn't an entity with foresight and planning. In that sense nothing is a flaw or feature. It's literally just survival of the fittest.

When my work load is overwhelming, taking time off just usually means it will be completely untenable when I return. I much prefer to take vacation when things are slower, and I’m caught up so I’m not overwhelmed when I return to work. It’s present me trying to look out for future me.
