Omicron storm

Well Omicron is now currently a complete tsunami.

Over a million case worldwide per day. Probably twice are untested. So that is probably more then 3 millions case a day.

In less then 3 weeks it's now 73% of all new cases in the US.

The WHO estimates the severity to be 30 to 80% less then Delta or other variant. Still that still probably too many for our hospital to handle.

Vaccines still works but to a lower %. The only valid number that came out is an efficacy of 85% for the J&J booster (Yes the booster). Other booster our double vax percentage of efficacy is not known yet.

It's probably too late for non vaccinated people you will need to ride the next few weeks omicron storm without it. As you need more then 7 months to get both shot plus the booster. For those who get sick... Tough and prayers!

Quebec will most probably announce a curfew today.

Quebec (and same in the UK) saw much more hospitalization for kids.

Airlines keeps canceling up to 2000 flights per day due to shortage of staff. Hospital can't do that so they will ask asymptomatic to go back to work. A shortage of staff in hospital could lead to more death not even related to covid. It's a good thing in Quebec the government decided not to fire unvacinated healthcare worker. Ontario and BC will face a shit show from the unvax idiots for firing them and now recalling them.

This is all really depressing. But somehow I remain positive that this is the last storm before we are able to live with covid.

But then we will realize that covid has brought us something very very important. We are witnessing a crisis of rationality at the individual level. Some expert like Alex Jones or now Joe Rogan are riding the wave and make a living out of it.

Realizing that some people prefer swallowing horse dewormer then trusting the medical and science community is scarier then covid.

I was reading somewhere how much less severe Omicron is even on the 60 plus folks. I believe this is obvious just from the numbers in the hospitals based on the case count. It seems to attack the throat as opposed to the inner lungs which I think is a good thing.

😆 At what point will our dearest leaders finally figure out the solution??? Step back from the fire and break out the marshmallows.

2-dose protection drops below 15 per cent against Omicron



LOL how quickly the double vaxxed became unvaxxed.

Who fucking cares. I’m not getting a third dose over this new variant which seems to essentially be another cold. Fuck the government the more people comply the more they will be empowered to limit people’s mobility rights and cause further destruction to the middle class.

If you already gave up now you’re in for a surprise in a couple of weeks.

Some US hospitals are close to being crushed right now.

Ontario just lowered the isolation period to 5 days, still 10 for anti-vaxer conspiracy nuts.

Vaccination plus added natural immunity could be great news.

15% against infection.
The vaccine is not a hazmat suit.

10% of the population is still filling the ICUs way more than the other 90%.
What part of this is so difficult to comprehend?

Let's totally ignore how the third dose of a vaccine made for different variants improves things to 80+ percent. Lol

But that isn't proper cherry picking is it.

This is what I got from the video. Good thing I saw the whole video.
1 unvaxed cannot get booster and booster is 80+ percent
2 vaxed offers protection against hospitalization which is what it's intended for.

omicron is less severe but highly contagious one single day of high fever seems to be the pattern and 3 days of sore throat if you're double vaxxed....and seems the high risk are still the older population and those with underlying conditions....and seems not a threat to kids....

I share that exact sentiment -- but from the other side. Who cares if you get vaccinated or not, no one will pass judgment except the virus and your immune system. I'll gladly watch from the sidelines.

Maybe you'll be fine. Maybe you'll die. Who cares?

Good for you, stand up for your rights by harming yourself. Congrats on that type of logic.

With the amount of Omicron cases now, soon another variant will arise. If any variant of these upcoming variants are anything as lethal as SARS with the virulence of Omicron then mass depopulations will occur. Or it could go the other way, where a variant which has mild symptoms but is highly virulent predominates globally.
The pandemic is not finished until it is over everywhere, with the only certainty being, death, taxes and whoring.
