If left untreated, it can spread throughout the body resulting in eventual death.<\/p>\n<p>The study included 568 patients from Qatar who were diagnosed with the China Flu between February and July 2020. Of these, 40 had \u201ccomplications,\u201d including admission to the ICU, being placed on a ventilator, or death.<\/p>\n<p>Other factors such as body mass index (BMI), asthma, diabetes, heart disease, blood pressure, and smoking were also taken into account when compiling the data.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, patients with gum disease were found to have an 8.81 times higher risk of death than the others. These same patients with gum disease also had between a 3.54- and 4.57-times greater risk of needing to go to intensive care or be put on a ventilator due to their condition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf a causal link is established between periodontitis and increased rates of adverse outcomes in Covid-19 patients, then establishing and maintaining periodontal health may become an important part of the care of these patients,\u201d the authors wrote.<\/p>\n<h2>Masks cause gum disease, which means masks increase risk of coronavirus death<\/h2>\n<p>Back in the summer, it\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/mask-mouth-dentists-warn-prolonged-use-of-masks-leading-to-poor-oral-hygiene\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">was revealed<\/a>\u00a0that persistent mask wearing is becoming a leading cause of gum disease.<\/p>\n<p>Two Manhattan dentists came forward to say that they are seeing hordes of new patients with gum disease, all due to them wearing masks on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>So, if masks are causing more gum disease and gum disease massively increases a Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) patient\u2019s risk of complications and death, then the only logical conclusion with all this is that\u00a0<i>masks increase the risk of Covid-19 death<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck finding any mainstream news source willing to connect these dots.
