FOR CORONACOASTER: COVID-19 News, Info, Discussion /// Tracking the Spread of the Virus and its Effects

RWF: Looks more like Omicron is milder to me.

And the vaccines don't work at stopping transmission or infection (they seem to help it! Whether that is immunological or promiscuity driven is another debate..).

At best, the vaccines are a theraputic to lessen symptoms - but even there it seems there is a bill to pay after 3 months, where the chance of symptomatic infection goes over and above the unvaccinated chance.

not looking good for the jabbed

Early treatments only work for so long. And most drugs you cannot take for life that are needed. Plus reinfections.

Unattainable. Unsustainable. Unrealistic.

Be careful with the exercise. It is counterintuitive with this virus. Do not get worked up. Just calm flows.

People, less is more with IVM.

You are not the size of a horse.

SMH

officially no. un-officially we are at 3 or 4 at least.
EU,SA, flu, and this 1.

last chart i saw had DELTA branching and a OMI branch. hard to say where we are now. 2 separate branches thou. each will run and branch more.

that is why i say rest between outings and to stagger them far apart. our bodies need time to heal and recover from each of these little exposures. the fear is if u get exposed on top of exposed, u then become infected and sick.

my theory is our bodies have a chance to fight off an exposure to a few particles. but too many and our body loses the fight.

with more ppl running around with the virus, we all need to take bleach baths every time we go out. and that is on top of using all our PPE. we can't just avoid the virus now, there is too much of it. we must help our bodies fight stronger.

should we define mild?

it may b mild if u get it the 1st time. if u had covid and get hit with OMI, u may find your have a much worse outcome.

try this- a paper cut is mild, hurts like hell thou. but if u continue to paper cut your arm, u will bleed to death after enuf of them.

Yes, it has already been identified. Poorly written article which I think was trying to say it was discovered circulating in Israel, not discovered in Israel.

So mild in fact, that the national guard has been called into many states. People gotta stop using that no meaning word "mild".

53 cases in UK.


Covid warning: New highly transmissible Omicron sub-variant in UK – 53 cases found

Early treatment ... so just randomly throw HIV-like drugs at people in case they go the route of depleted t-cells? lol ok, sure.

Yep. We have arrived at baked.

Omicron should convey immunity tho right?

No, you missed my point completely. You throw in antivirals early on.
- That gives your body the best chance of keeping down the nflammation.
- The inflammation is what allows the virus to infect more widely; e.g. cross the BBB.
- Keep it under control whilst your immune system wipes it out.
- The combination therapies mean it will have a very VERY hard time escaping the multiple modes of action applied to it.

It is milder.

In the uk we have falling Mechanically Ventillated beds (777 yesterday, down from 900 on 4th Jan), despite our peak of 220k cases being 10 days ago (so those would be now registering, going in to hospital and some on vents)..

Hostpital beds are being freed up at roughly the same rate of admissions now, so we will soon have falling occupancy in the general COVID wards, too.

It infects via the endocytosis route; cannot enter lung cells very well - gets stuck in the upper respiratory area.

Probably won't cause the organ failure either as it can't use the ACE2/TMPRSS2 route well.

Still, I'll be watching for now. Not going licking doorknobs just yet..

Milder as in not on mechanical technology to survive? If we didn't have this technology, what people are experiencing would not be mild at all. They would be dead. Even those who are not hospitalized are not experiencing it as mild. We need to stop creating a scale based on the most sophisticated life saving technologies out there. Mild for people at home is 103-104 fever, sever body aches, severe soar throat, fatigue, GI problems, night sweats, etc. Mild is a hangnail.

With the tory party chucking boris to the wolves and the BBC on the push for its over.

It really is over in the eyes of the government

With Covid.

Vaccine damage !

Anti-coronavirus measures tightened across China... [link to www.miamiherald.com (secure)]

How can people just ignore that - or is there something else going on like a mental health episode?

Uh.. well

Theres a pandemic going on.

Im not touching her either

New highly transmissible Omicron sub-variant BA.2 now also in UK: 53 cases found.. [link to www.timesnownews.com (secure)]

You are an idiot

There are many types of Coronaviruses

Human coronavirus is nothing like a betacoronavirus

Some like MERS would wipe out humanity
