Mr. Topol will tell you boosting jacks up ur antibodies for variants so definitely still get boosted

Also, to inject the hopium right into my veins, Johnny came out with some new data for the mild brain disease crew

At the very least, the anecdotes are interesting

over half of israeli omicron cases were fully boosted

it's trash, stick a fork in it.

you will want the booster to protect against delta though! as clearly omicron will happily go past delta antibodies and you don't want to deal with both infections

Twitter rumor is it’s only 12 people so, as with anything with this virus, the study will be “what you can see happening in the population level data on Worldometer.com”

lol so given the numbers earlier, 20-40 fold reduction it's going to break down as:

double vaccinated: 20 fold reduction (total trash)

single shot vaccinated: 40 fold reduction (total loving trash)

edit: oh lol the tweet said vaccinated and natural immune, so it's even worse if vax+natural is 20 fold reduction and vax alone is 40 fold reduced

So HF800/3M Secure Click crew, I have a question. I notice sometimes when I do the positive pressure check that I hear what sounds like air escaping, but I can't find any leaks. Notably, when I push the button for the negative check while doing this, the sound gets quieter or goes away. Which would suggest the outflow is somehow going out what should be the inflow? But I checked and there seems to be no air coming out the slots (did a test withotu the filters in) and I always pass the negative checks AND my faceshield doesn't fog up which also suggests no leak, so what's up and should I be concerned?

i'm not sure you can reliably read the average hospital stay duration by picking a spot and reading the distance between the curves

what you CAN reliably read, however, is the area under Admissions and the area under Discharges, and if you subtract the second from the first, you get the number of people who were admitted but never discharged, presumably on account of having mildly died
