learnincurve posted:Incidentally the NHS 119 number is absolute loving horseshit. First time I’ve used it and it took four minutes of confusing nonsense to get put through to the booking line, which was not the option I chose right at the start. Then it automatically cut me off. I wouldn't recommend jabbing through an intercom, that's likely to damage the needle.

bort posted:That says breakthrough cases are 26 out of 100,000. We have 2 breakthrough cases in this thread. Either GBS is far bigger than I think it is, or those numbers may be changing at a pretty alarming rate. That seems reasonable for the whole population of all SA; if that is the true breakthrough rate, you'd expect 2 out of a population of 7,700. And there's regularly 4 if not low 5 digits users logged on at once.

Gynovore posted:You don't 'make' counties, they just sorta happen. No, that's Yellowstone, which the District of Wyoming has jurisdiction over all crimes committed in, including those parts of the park which lie in Idaho and Montana. So if you invoke your right to a jury trial for a crime committed in the Idaho section, you'd need to find a jury composed of people who are all simultaneously Idaho and District of Wyoming residents—but the Idaho part of Yellowstone has 0 population. The place in Nevada you're thinking of was one of three counties in the US with 0 COVID cases as of nearly a year ago, with a population of nearly 1,000.

Rescue Toaster posted:The impression I've gotten would be that you're reasonably likely to catch Delta even though you're vaccinated if you're surrounded by unvaccinated people constantly. Especially if they're not masking consistently. Reasonably likely being maybe 30-50% chance? Considering if you were unvaccinated I'd say it's virtually guaranteed. Meaning, lifetime? If you're being exposed continuously I'd consider that more of a per-month likelihood, if not per-week.

QuarkJets posted:The "mildness" of the disease is being used to suppress panic but it's too early to know how frequently people will experience long covid from this new variant. It's a reminder to not let "mild" fool you into complacency Apparently Omicron does not typically kill your senses of smell or taste. I wonder if that has any correlation to long COVID.

I'm just really scared of finding out she's gonna have lung scarring or vertigo when she's 30 from it. There are tons of thing she gets exposed all the time that have with potentially rare side effects. Some of them we don't even know about yet and won't until years or decades in the future. You can't live your life worrying about something which is uncommon and over which you have absolutely no control anyway. Worry about what is, not what might be.

Bucswabe posted:I'll just try to break down my thought process as best I can, and people can poke holes in the logic. Vaccines were pitched as the solution to the pandemic. And in Canada, at this point, close to 90% have gotten the vaccine. I 100% supported the argument that people not getting vaxxed are selfish, and I supported the passports in restaurants, gyms, etc. But Omicron really changed everything. Suddenly, everyone, despite vaccine status was getting Covid (myself included) and so the argument for why vaccines are essential was muddied. Now, the best you can argue is that getting vaccinated is for the purpose of not being one of the few hundreds of people that end up in the hospital or ICU. And while I can see that argument, I think the idea of a government forcing a health care decision on the population, at the threat of your job and ability to support yourself and family as going too far. It reduces the spread, not just the severity. Even with Omicron, though it's less dramatic than with wildtype or Alpha.

Zugzwang posted:Even if Zero Covid became impossible, the total and immediate shift to Zero Covid Restrictions is, uh, not great. Lotta sane middle ground between those extremes. Is there? China may be speedrunning this shift in public policy, but they're following the trail laid out by the rest of the world. The last three years suggest there's no appetite for anything else. Every other country in the world went from whatever restrictions and lockdowns they had in place to loving and sucking the doorknobs in Denny's bathrooms until their rear end turned blue (as is my understanding) once zero COVID was clearly impossible, with the arrival of Omicron, at the latest.

Facebook Aunt posted:Pharmaceutical companies shouldn't be allowed to sell literal snake oil, leave that to the homeopaths. The original literal snake oil actually did treat arthritis and other conditions! The reason the name became synonymous with useless overhyped products was because of salesmen in the days before ingredient testing and false advertising regulations who sold products as "snake oil" that didn't contain any (or even that were derived from nonbeneficial snakes, like rattlesnakes).
