I was kinda thinking he excelled as an alchemist due to isekai-cheat of knowing modern chemistry, but I guess if he died as a child that's not the case. Plus modern chem might not be that helpful in a magic world.

@DrWhoCares what I'm more confuse on is which undead she turned into. Undead is a broad term, like vampires are also classified as undead on most RPGs. Also I don't have any knowledge of undead creatures that can turn people to undead thru drowning. Maybe if the corpse is still intact, she was turned into a zombie after killing her but I have never heard a zombie still have a bit of the dead person's personality. Maybe a ghoul perhaps but I don't know.
If I remember correctly, there is a creature from Celtic mythology that a drowned person can turn into a water spirit that will also drown other people as well. I'm not sure if it's Celtic but I'm pretty sure it's around Europe.

@berubetto Y'know good point, she does wear gloves. Forgot about that.
@nomadicengi I still don't believe that her using the water monster is what revived her as an undead. I think she simply used it as a means of killing her, then just necro'd her back to life. As to why this one can speak, maybe she put in more effort, who knows.

There's some issues with those points, especially since that video is 3 months old. TL;DR on bottom
Total worldwide cases, including closed/no longer active ones, are around 11 million, that is drastically lower than the average flu cases each season in the United States alone. The only year that current Covid cases beat US flu cases is 2011-2012. Again, worldwide cases compared to flu cases in the US only. The infectivity of Covid-19 maybe higher, but it's also noted to be specific to certain demographics and age groups. However, the case numbers point to some other information we now know about Covid-19, namely that for 99% of those infected, it's not enough to warrant hospitalization or even a visit and you can get an asymptomatic variant and not be contagious.
Of the over 4.4 million active cases right now, just over 58,500 are hospitalized in critical condition. That sounds bad, but that means that the remaining 4.4 million are not suffering from the more severe symptoms such as viral pneumonia, which is a good thing. And these are only the cases that felt that they should get tested. If Covid's infetivity is that much worse, that would imply that there's many more people who are infected but don't even feel off enough to visit a doctor to get tested in the first place. Which leads to the second point.
The WHO and other medical professionals seem to have settled on that asymptomatic carriers are not transmissible, and they would make up the remaining number of potential cases compared to the active ones. It's entirely possible that you've already been infected by Covid but since you never showed symptoms, don't think anything is wrong. And since asymptomatic carriers don't spread the disease, the actual infectivity of Covid might be closer to flu since it can evolve itself into a dead end and not spread at all.
My point being is that with what we know now, that video's title and premise is extremely misleading, and shouldn't be used as a go-to proof of well Covid-19 being worse than the flu. While it may spread faster than the flu, it's not worse than the flu in terms of symptoms and outcomes, given that so far 92% of those hospitalized end up recovering and being discharged, with those who end up passing while infected with Covid-19 tend to either have pre-existing conditions or are already vulnerable to pneumonia, such as the elder (cause being really old is basically a pre-existing condition, getting old is a bitch).
TL;DR
Less worldwide cases than average US flu cases, hospitalization rate of 1%, of that recovery rate of 92%, video shouldn't be saying Corona worse than flu

@sunsun Part of the problem is confusing "asymptomatic" with "pre-symptomatic" or very mild cases

However, I agree that the video is really outdated already.

Remember kids: wash your hands and wear a mask!
@cache_bag
It's very dry but here's the WHO briefing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZoIOyiZnt8
However Disguised22 linked other articles that showed WHO ended up walking back the statements and explained it as something else, mainly that the models showed it can but case data was showing something different.
Well my general stance is...
Even if asymptomatic carriers can still spread the disease, given what we know now, there is no longer an argument for extended lockdowns. Social distancing, fine, but not keeping "non-essential" businesses and services closed. I also don't believe in mandatory mask "edicts", an individual should decide for themselves whether or not they would want to protect themselves that way. If people decide that they want to minimize outdoor travel, wear masks, and such, that's fine, that's their decision, but government should not mandate that. Part of me feels that the walking back and downplaying of non-transmissibility of asymptomatic carriers is partly influenced by the potential backlash (world economy ruined, millions unemployed because it was originally assumed that asymptomatic carriers can spread it, seriously who wants to take responsibility for that ).
If citizens want some kind of law like that, put it to vote, not get it handed down by those in power, especially since the cases demonstrate this new virus isn't the world ending pandemic we thought it'd be.
And generally speaking, I believe most Americans are fed up with the lockdowns. For instance, in LA County banned 4th of July celebrations altogether, this was the resident's response: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIvdcdogC6k Different view with the national anthem accompanying https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdDo5TfAakc

what in the damn is this?
@aelf
It can be a hint of isekai or just plain regular country in the far east as a setting rather than an isekai. (it's the far north tho in this case... I've just reread the chapter lol)
I do believe it's more to the latter rather than an actual hint of isekai tho'.. even if there's no actual basis of it.... It's just a hunch...
the pseudo microwave then would just be something that he create out of a whim...
well... It might be wrong.
If this would end up as isekai, it would be more interesting if he really got lost as a child and somehow got 'teleported' to this world rather than just the usual reincarnation route... but doing that won't really explain the memory part of how he would create things like pseudo microwave, food, etc tho'.....

@Gabriel17 okay I miswrote, still doesn't change the issue being that I don't believe the government has any business mandating that I protect someone.
@aelf if my replies are bothersome you can just block me you know

@Myst
yeah your hunch may be right, been reading this since it has the isekai tag and it was tough to figure out why the tag is there when there's no sign of an isekai'd character lol, i lowkey feel that rin might remember his past but wont tell anyone since they might not believe him
@SunSun sure i'll do that, just a tip for you and others, dms exist on this site, the comments section is made to discuss the comic not to cluster it with other issues
