Coronavirus 2019-2020 thread (no unsubstantiated rumours!)

The course of the disease is milder on average. But the number of people infected is so much greater that the health systems will still be overwhelmed. People also die from omicron.

 

[Abominable]

Nope. Millions get common cold every year. Despite a shit ton of cases, hospitalization rate per capita is so low it is not a problem for hospital.

When has covid ever had high hospitalisation rates per capita? That has never been a problem. The issue has always been the sheer numbers of infected cases.

Right now the UK is enduring the highest rates of infection since the pandemic began. 1 in 10 people in London are believed to have COVID right now.

We'll see in a few weeks whether this will have an impact on hospitals or not.

Likely not. Omi is pretty weak. Omi is the newest common cold virus in the world.

It is not good to play down threatening things.

Omi is friendly. Omi is not threatening.

Is it your mission to spread fake news? Or what did you register for here?

Omi is friendly. Omi is not threatening.

It's still too early to tell. While there are some noises about Omi being less virulent, we can't know if this is true until we've had a few months of living with it.

By which point I imagine we'll have a new variant running around.

The guy just got banned. Think he is the same ban tomsellek guy that comes here with a new id every month.

There’s more variants of him than covid.

Maybe for omi the first step is to become more contagious, then it may become more virulent.

158 indigenous cases, 157 in Shaanxi including 155 in Xi’an and 2 in Xianyang, and 1 in Fangchenggang, Guangxi. It was a good choice to do a quick lockdown. These cases seem to grow faster now. Hopefully anti-covid treatment production can be ramped up (i.e. ~10 million treatment regimens) so that when China does an eventual full opening up hospitals are not overwhelmed.

@SteelBird bro previous week we had the lowest recorded cases in two digits numbers, 54 cases on Dec 15 BUT now the infection case is increasing Four fold to 285 and rising. The super Typhoon Odette is a Factor with people cramming in major evacuation center BUT the major one are those Filipino returnees from overseas mostly from Europe and the US. By the end of the year we may returned to a thousand case per day, sigh! such is life we are being punished and being a Catholic country we are not spared and the practices of worship should be abolished cause people instead of relying to themselves had look for religion for relief. Hard Work and good planning are the answer NOT waiting for Grace, A lazy legacy imposed on us by the Spaniard.
