Fabricated posted:That's still Delta infections then. Apparently the majority of omicron infections have not experienced the lost sense of smell or taste. I think it's stil way too early to say that. The question is is omicron intrinsically milder than previous variants, or is it milder because it's escaping immunity (either from vax or infection) and is then milder because people have immunity to clear the infection quickly. there are still plenty of naive individuals who haven't been vaccinated and haven't had a previous infection, and we have no idea yet how omicron behaves in that group

Browns had 18 players on the covid list over the weekend and got their game delayed by two days. There's no loving way the whole league isn't on covid restrictions by the weekend.

I wonder if there's any place that did estimates of where the actual, fully immune-naive people all are in the US- basically places with low vaxx uptake that also didn't have proportionally huge surges in cases in earlier waves.

47% percent hospitalization versus delta is good news but if you have an order of magnitude more cases then welp, it's still going to be 5x more

Fabricated posted:Kinda wondering if the UK/US/etc will follow South Africa but it'll be a weird state-by-state, region-by-region thing based on vaxx+previous infection rate. I'm extremely skeptical of this graph. The first three peaks have near simultaneous increases in cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. That really seems to suggest that people weren't even getting tested until they got to the hospital, and then they were only going to the hospital because they were struggling to breathe and were near death. it doesn't fit the progression of events we saw in the US for those three things. People were languishing in the ICU for months before succumbing to covid in previous waves. if there really is a decoupling of cases and deaths then that's great, because if not then we are in for a truly horrific winter. people said the same thing about delta too though. i don't think you can really tell while the wave is ongoing, the long delays between infections and severe symptoms and deaths can easily fool you into a false sense of security and complacency and have done so already in the recent past.

Also about your skepticism: there was a lot of incidental diagnoses in the first part of their wave. Most weren't counted as "hospitalizations" but there were apparently very large numbers of people who tested positive for COVID while at the hospital or doctor for something completely different. We don't know for sure but most of these experts are guessing there was a shitload of subclinical infections (people who weren't asymptomatic but not symptomatic enough to care to even get tested). Lots of people not getting very sick is good- but if the subclinical infection thing is true that means this thing is even more infectious than people are guessing because there's swaths of people who simply don't even know they have it spreading it (e: and NOT getting tested). Also the guy who made that graph is a senior medical epidemiologist for the NICD in South Africa, and not say- a nutritionist Fabricated fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Dec 22, 2021 |

lot of opportunity to eat even these words yet, but: at least omicron seems to be a lot better a mutation than what we deserve given the selfish way global vaccine distribution (and manufacturing permissions) have been handled.

when i got my booster i forgot to take my prescription card (i just had my medical insurance card), so they billed some special "uninsured" code for the insurance instead. last time i got a flu shot i did the same thing too, but the woman somehow figured out how to use my non-prescription insurance card instead. she also did a great job with the shot, didn't feel a thing.
