BIL and nephew both isolated themselves for 10 days from other relatives over Christmas because they had a slight cough/runny nose. Hope they had a great time. Good excuse to not have to help with food prep and deal with those undesirable relatives....SMH.
Well, that certainly shines a light on the incredible competence of the Authorities, combined with the single-minded focus of thousands of PhDs tracking this data.
"It's 75%, trust us...no wait, 22%!! No, no, wait!"
It was all too obvious that the 73% figure was pulled straight out of somebody's butt when that came out. And as we know, that's pretty much par for the course with COVID since the beginning. The "experts" have only been experts at sensationalism.
I'm just a kitten and not some fancy scientist, but is it possible that "vaccine-resistant Omicron" is really just to cover the fact that the vaccines are completely failing?
I wouldn't expect 'covid hospitalizations' in the US to flatten out or be lower than last winter when Omicron takes over. The overall hospitalizations never rose as much as covid hospitalizations anywhere. We're still going to get a lot of people in the hospitals including women just there to give birth who test positive and have mild or no symptoms. They will still be counted and reported as covid hospitalizations unless hospitals stopped testing every patient.
I can say anecdotally O seems very prevalent in Ireland; the press is saying 50% PCR positivity and I know loads of people have it with mild symptoms doing all sorts of crazy quarantines and close contact tracing etc. I tested antigen positive on Xmas day with extremely mild symptoms. Fine now.
As a healthy, unvaxxed 30 year old athlete who's never had COVID (to his knowledge, though in March 2020 I had a few days of mild fever and cough, but never got tested and was back to normal in about a week), I'm starting to wonder about what I should do. Am I giving in to the hype, or should I start to be concerned about my safety?
Since there is no "test" for Covid, how can there be one for omnicron? How is it different? With all the labs backed up, how are they getting any type of turnaround to make daily numbers? Since this is all a simulation of numbers anyway, why are we analyzing them at all?
Can someone help me make sense of this? Someone I know posts this data to show how it’s the unvaccinated who are getting Covid, and being hospitalized or dying from Covid (toward the bottom of the page).
Another part of the same site says that only 8.3% of NYC is unvaccinated. I can’t reconcile how that small of a population could be driving the numbers claimed in the chart. Is it because of how they define “vaccinated” (which I’m guessing is two weeks after second shot…or booster? But I can’t find info on how they are actually defining it for the purposes of the chart).
I wonder how long till they begin to realize their vaccine is failing in general and its not just about omicron.

I kinda disagree here.
I think, more specifically, that Omicron is up in the NE and down in the Midwest and SE.
Granted I see Omicron a little differently than "the experts"- I see it as a highly transmissible mental disorder not a viral pathogen.
LOL they realized that if 73% of cases are omi but the hospitals aren't filling up it's not very scary.

Wish I had a job where I could revise down that much and still keep my job
None of this Covid BS kept me home. It was the f'ing Nazi's in health dept. uniforms.

Why is my bs meter pegging again? What's the game? Now we're back to dying? Pandemic of the unvax?
