• New study suggests gargling with salt water may be associated with lowe

    From Fred Bloggs@21:1/5 to All on Fri Nov 10 10:57:09 2023
    'During the study period, 9,398 individuals with positive SARS-CoV-2 infection were evaluated and were the reference population. The hospitalization rates in the low- (18.5%) and high- (21.4%) saline regimens were significantly lower than in the
    reference population (58.8%.) No significant differences were noted in other outcomes among these groups.'

    That's a pretty significant difference...

    If you cross-correlate a lot of different datasets with not many
    samples per set, you get all sorts of opportunities to publish.

    And when even John Larkin knows about this, you can be sure that the referees do too.

    The obvious confound is that if you are prepared to take the trouble of gargling with salt water, you are likely to do other tedious stuff that might actually help you fight off Covid-19.
