HolHorsejob posted:There's protection from infection and protection from serious disease. Until there's evidence to the contrary, it's likely the vaccines still offer the later, even if the former is compromised. Would it really only take three months for them to develop a Moderna or Pfizer booster for Omicron?

Sorry, thought the graph was after Omicron arrived in Norway. I'm just been extremely depressed about Omicron, and feel like everything in the past year's been made possibly null if the cases are still severe.

Get vaccinated and boosted, wear appropriate masks, avoid indoor close-contacts. And seek mental health support <3 edit: and I guess feel free to PM me if that's any help, I'm happy to chat. I'm just a dumbass horse though and not a mental health professional. Fritz the Horse fucked around with this message at 11:05 on Dec 5, 2021 |

Willo, literally this: Get vaccinated and boosted, wear appropriate masks, and avoid close contact indoors. But also if you're dealing with extreme depression, please seek professional help. The only thing these forums are gonna do are amp up any depression or anxiety you're dealing with.

Platystemon posted:Not in all specific points, but where are you going with this? I am going in the direction that Delta was more infectious but not more dangerous/deadlier/more likely to cause severe illness, so if you're vaccinated you don't need to be particularly worried, unless you live in an American CHUD state that might soon overload its hospitals and so you'll have to exercise increased caution at traffic lights, standing on a stepladder to change light bulbs, and so forth

I find it really weird that hospitalizations are rising exponentially at the same time omicron is rising exponentially, but actually it’s all “incidental” admissions unrelated to Covid. e: This is also a very common counter-argument used by chuds, denialists/minimalists, Blue MAGA etc. whenever hospitalizations rise in the US.

Being hospitalized WITH omicron, not OF omicron. Remarkable how many of the arguments popular among a certain crowd 12-18 months ago are now eagerly embraced by a different crowd. e: I wonder if deaths lag cases and it's too early to know exactly how a new variant that's only kicked into high gear in the last couple of weeks is going to play out. If only we had 18+ months of this same pandemic to know if deaths lag cases by any appreciable amount. Oh well.

brugroffil posted:Being hospitalized WITH omicron, not OF omicron. Yeah man, if a community has a rate of covid the random sample of people in the hospital that also have covid will go up proportionally. They are saying at the door tests are showing more cases (cases are rising in the community), but covid related admissions is still low and the cases of pneumonia in the hospital is still down. quote:There were only 2 patients in the COVID ICU in the last 14 days, neither of whom had a primary diagnosis of COVID pneumonia. Sixty-three patients were admitted to high care, but our anecdotal information is that the majority of high care admissions were for a diagnosis other than COVID.

Gio posted:I’m not qualified to interpret any data but to this point, covid-pollyanna/denialists/minimalist arguments often travel across borders using “the internet.” It's the only hospital system on earth that has any sort of trend data for omnicron infections. Like maybe they got online and are "blue maga" or chuds or whatever, but it's the only data the human race has so far for more than a few days. It might change later, but it seems like you are discounting it because you don't like what it says more than are you making any argument it's actually false.

I think you aren't getting what you hoped out of omicron and now are trying to repeatedly pull it back to being about your enemy the furry lady instead of wanting to confront data you find disappointing. We don't know if omicron is mild yet, we know it has not caused any deaths in an amount of time other variants had caused deaths and has had a lower hospitalization rate than other waves did at this point. We do not know if it's the mutation in the virus, statistical luck, past immunity or something about some change in treatment causing that. We do know that the data we have so far is the data we have so far and there is no special reason to discount it off hand or link it specifically to one woman the internet hates now because she retweeted it like she is the sole source of it.

the first detected case of covid in the US was feb 29th 2020, within ten days 39 people were dead. The first observed case of omicron in the US was nov 25, ten days on from that we have zero deaths from it. The virus itself may or may not be somewhat milder. Eventually there will be reports of death and the usual suspects can dance their little victory dance. So far the data we have is showing less severe outcomes, for as of yet unknown reasons.

We also know from the lab that Spike can evolve to bind ACE2 so strongly that immune response becomes irrelevant and the only way out is either being born with a mutant ACE2 or gene therapy. This thing has a lot of space to do bad things.

Willo567 posted:Haven't most of the cases of Omicron been mild? WC’s not talking about Omicron’s spike, but about theoretical spikes explored in the laboratory. But to answer your question, yeah, sure. Most of the cases of all variants thus far have been mild, it’s just that unacceptably large minorities are hospitalized, maimed, and/or killed.
