The scientists are gonna be at least 6 months behind on getting new vaccines for variants that make older vaccines irrelevant.
We still haven't even gotten the sub-18 age group vaccinated.
2022 is gonna be much worse than 2021.

Feces. Kaka. Dung. The numbers that have been brought up for two years by the chumpster. As mentioned by posts above, the fact that we died back in 2020. So now and everyday a new set of numbers (Kaka) that the moderators let slide, despite objections from other posters. I just voiced my opinion I could make a few shekels betting against the chumpsters figures he pulls out of his keister.

Surgeon general tests positive for COVID-19 | TheHill
https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/594904-surgeon-general-tests-positive-for-covid-19

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy announced Friday that he has tested positive for COVID-19, days after he said that his 4-year-old daughter had the virus.

Murthy wrote on Twitter that his wife and his 5-year-old son were also positive for the virus and had "mild symptoms." His daughter is "doing ok" and has an improving fever, he added.

In a comment below:
3,187 Americans died OF covid yesterday.

3,069 of them were UNVACCINATED

Meanwhile, in most vaccinated Vermont: 2

I believe the main infection vector at the moment is kids bringing the infection home from school and once it gets in the home, every family member succumbs. Just anecdotal evidence, but every case I've encountered in family and my limited circle of friends, has resulted in the whole immediate family getting it.

CC, can you cite sources when you post numbers like that? neither JohnHopkins, nor https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ shows those numbers, as far as I can tell.

Not that numbers will convince anyone on this site.

No, IMO your analysis above is incorrect on two fronts: (1) News stories can and are written with political bias. The "journalist" can and does insert their "slant." and (2) The paper's editorial board can and does censure stories and news that does not fit a certain narrative or the paper's political agenda.

I prefer truth. You do not. I grew up basically without bias, you seem to embrace it. Sometimes what does not get reported is the truth. So how does your savvy ass get the information the NYT buries on page 34, Or does not report at all?

So you project being biased on everyone because you are biased. Yup, that argument works.

The CDC released a map showing which counties could reduce their mask mandates and the situation in Arizona has taken a sudden turn. Up until now, the center of the state- the I-10 corridor between Phoenix and Tucson had been the hardest hit portion of the state, along with the Navajo Nation. Now it has reversed. The two cities have been given the go ahead to reduce precautions, while the outer parts of the state are still deep orange/even red. New Mexico, which was previously all red has now gone mostly yellow. Cochise County, which was once a yellow island in a sea of red is now dark orange.

The Washington Post: U.S. "excess deaths" (by govt. mortality stats) top 1M over a two year period . The vast majority of which were from covid. The stats expose swollen numbers of deaths from heart disease, hypertension, dementia, and other ailments. The CDC's analysis estimates 208,431 excess deaths from all the non-covid 19 causes since the start of the pandemic (2 year period). A CDC official (Robert Anderson) stated that many people who died of covid were elderly, sick, or very frail, and even without the pandemic, some might not have survived across the two-year span of the pandemic, and therefore are not, strictly speaking, "excess deaths."

The CDC has found that 74% of covid deaths occurred among people age 65 AND OVER.

IMHO group think and hysteria, based on the above, is misplaced.

It's disconcerting that people keep forgetting having many people sick or dying all close together would have been massive actual major problem regardless of the fact of how soon they might of died from age and other causes. Let's compress all the deaths and illness into 6 months instead of 2 years. Do people think anyone else would need a hospital bed or a doctor in that 6 months? Are you going to get good care even if you get in with beds outside in tents? Are going kill all your medical people from overwork so you have even fewer working?

I say this, as it seems people seem to think letting it run rampant or not worry about it was the right move all along.

For all the discussion about the need to rely on science, I never see any science in any of these proclamations of new strains. Are natural immunities developed from previous infections by earlier strains of any use in inhibiting these strains? And if so, how much? What is the relative transmissibility and virulence of these new strains? (I get the impression these are somewhat more transmissible than the original omicron strain but even less virulent. Is that correct?)

At some point:
- almost everyone has developed some degree of natural immunity
- this seems to look more like the influenza
- the existence of vaccines and availability of medical therapies makes this kind of a "meh"
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

Dr. Birx on TV rn saying being infected doesn't prevent future infection due to variants.
1 million American fatalities from COVID approaching and will be reached within hours. <4K deaths to go.
Dr. Birx says people over 70 years old are dying at the highest rate from COVID rn, and cases in NYS are rising over the past month.

Yeah, central NYS is turning red with new cases over 50/100K per day per county.

Vaccines will have to become regular because they don't last all that long.
With 2/3rds of Americans vaccinated and less than half boosted, and kids with very low vaccination rates, this pandemic will continue unabated for years.
Herd immunity for this disease is over 95% vaccinated.

your post above omitted something very important_____________covid cases are now much less serious___________at least in the U.S.

in January of 2021 the U.S. was averaging more than 3,300 deaths per day

this is from today from the front page of the online edition of the New York Times

Just before Omicron became dominant, Delta was at 50K new cases per day. Omicron put it at over a million new cases a day. I got my booster in January to protect against that. Did people getting their boosters early this year drop Omicron cases back down 95%? I don't know what runs this pandemic except that every variant that becomes dominant is more contagious than the last and for the unvaccinated, it isn't any less dangerous.

that is incorrect_____________it is less dangerous for both the vaccinated and unvaccinated_______________because there are a great many fewer deaths both in the numerical total and in the % of those who get infected that die

Vaccinated people seem to think things are open so they drop their safeguards and suddenly there's a spike in cases.

I'd have to see hospital data about percentage of people who are unvaccinated in the ICU vs. vaccinated in the ICU. I would expect 20 to 1 unvaccinated to vaccinated still in the ICU.
Are health insurance plans barring payments for unvaccinated people for COVID complications since last fall? Maybe those people don't even go to the hospital anymore.

Hospitalization rates, NYC:

Unvaxxed: 66.6/100,000
Vaxxed: 2.9/100,000
Vax + Booster: 1.8/100,000
0-4 years old: 1.3/100,000

NEW: Update from @nycHealthy on NYC's BA.2 wave.
Shows hospitalizations remain low but starting to rise—for the unvax'd. They're now *37.8* times more likely to be hospitalized than vax'd NYers.
One thing remains true through all the ups & downs of this pandemic: VACCINES WORK.

Minimizers focus only on the denominator, ignoring the numerator.
Over 100,000 kids have been hospitalized.
Some won’t share that fact.

Looks like new cases per day are expected to double each week.

for the first time in many weeks (I follow it every day) according to the NYT the 14 day average of new deaths is up (by 1%) although it is still way, way down when compared to January of 2021 - it had been going way down until recently

the 14 day average for hospitalizations is way up, and the average for new cases is way, way up

the Administration is warning of a Fall surge in infections and believe it or not quoted the number of potential new infections as being__________100 million

I don't understand this. I see it often. A misbelief that if something has been somewhat beaten and no longer a threat then it must never have been a threat

I lost a few friends and family to Covid including my Advantage Play partner. Covid is very real to those who suffered from it.

These types of pandemic situations do go away over time. Does anyone feel Spanish Flu was never a serious threat because today no one catches it? Bubonic plague?

It's sad some people felt this was some type of political checkmate move but if that were the case, the whole pandemic would have disappeared on November 8th after the election. It didn't go away immediately did it? (Oh, right, it never existed in the first place, SMH).

If you've had chickenpox already then it is my understanding that you're immune to monkeypox.

The following is from this source monkeypox transmission article

While it is still early and much is not known, almost all the African cases were detected in sexual health clinics in men who have sex with men and were seeking health services related to that.

Airborne transmission has not yet been confirmed. (Can anyone confirm this?)

Rats can carry the monkey pox virus, and are believed to transmit it to humans when they are eaten by humans (more relevant to Africa, than to the U.S., I hope)
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

Britain has listed #monkeypox on its list of “AIRBORNE HIGH CONSEQUENCE INFECTIOUS DISEASE”” that can spread through the air.

I got my 2nd COVID booster at Rite Aid today. The pharmacist is unaware of new variants of COVID vaccines or new vaccines for Monkeypox. I just had some free time at the store getting some ear drops, and I rarely visit the store.

Interesting how the flu vaccine has all sorts of warnings and contraindications noted, but the new Covid booster vaccine - a blank page.




Also, the pre-insurance pay cost of the new Pfizer vaccine only $2.59 - the flu vaccine $66.99

"Yikes. Almost everyone I know who went to Burning Man 2022, is coming back with COVID," Lauren Hudgins said on Twitter.

"Outdoor activity didn’t save them from the virus. #Ba5 is that transmissible. Don’t risk it—get the #BoosterShot."

Even with all the current boosters, it won't stop you from getting mild COVID which can irreparably harm your lifestyle/life/health. Mask up, social distance, and get boosted. Don't expect COVID to be over this decade. There will be local lulls but it will always come back a few weeks or months later.

In other news, the New York Governor declared a state of emergency from polio spread/low vaccination rates.

I wouldn't read anything into this. All it means is that the data for the patient information leaflet hasn't been loaded into the database yet. The database updates usually occur once a month, and sometimes even once a quarter. If you are truly worried, you can ask for the package insert for the vaccine. Any pharmacist would be willing to give you one upon request. I make no comment about pricing, as that is individualized based on your insurance and what it covers.

I no longer wear a mask at the gym, but my gym is very large and relatively empty much of the time. At the casino gyms, I don't wear a mask either. Some casino gyms are very large and empty, some are smaller and a bit more crowded at times.

I do wear a mask whenever I enter a store.

I stopped wearing a mask at the casinos, but I play alone at a table where only the dealer and pit boss are near me. I see many dealers still wearing masks - I probably would too if I had a job that required me to be close to thousands of different people each month.

Last month at my physical my doctor asked if he should stop asking if I want the vax.
