cord-258337-3wua0iij	Gale, Robert Peter	A Haematologist's Guide to Coronavirus Disease 2019: Encyclopaedia or Doorstop?	2020-10-08		.txt	text/plain	989	83	64	[1] review what they term a haematologist's perspective on the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic and on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). They present data on hospital admission values and/or risk of death from COVID-19. Normally, authors provide a statistical analysis of this type of heterogeneous data, such as a weighted mean or median and confidence interval or interquartile range (IQR) followed by their conclusion. In a study of 1,571 subjects with COVID-19 we found a significant difference between 1,440 survivors (median 1.2 × 10E+9/L [IQR 0.9, 1.7 × 10E+9/L]) and 131 subjects who died (0.5 × 10E+9/L [0.4, 0.8 × 10E+9/L]; p < 0.001) [2] . Lest I be accused of publication bias, might I direct readers to an experiment where I fed large numbers of genetically identical mice shredded SARS-CoV-2-or CO-VID-19-related consensus guidelines or sheets of blank paper with their laboratory chow for 1 week.
