Corona virus, the non-asshole thread
- Thread starter TheYancey
- Start date
I have a good friend in CHS who's got the CV. The nut is still going in to work...but staying away from others.
Regardless, lots of his family got it from their Christmas gathering on Sat. 25th. I would guess most were un-vaxxed.
Looks like all are going to make it, but for sure a few are really sick.
Roll the dice....get snake eyes.

I think this is a very important question.
There are lots of family members not talking to each other because somebody infected someone who later died. If it is indeed a global change and everyone was most likely going to get it sooner or later, then it lessen the emotional sting for people in those situations.
I do think the question will eventually need to be answered.
I am not sure this is the case. Would be nice, but I think we are still learning what we are dealing with and so far all vaccines have really done is keep people out of the hospital, which is a very good thing. I do sympathize with you not seeing your parents. Mine are local so the travel thing does not come into play for me. Sorry you may have to cancel again.

CDC is saying 95% of new cases in the US are Omnicron now.

1,000,000 new cases reported yesterday in United States. That's a decent % of the entire population.
It's a lot of people but a very tiny % of the population. .3%
Approx 15% of the US population have tested positive overall.

I am not sure if I am just Jaded at this point, but I struggle to trust that number. Delta that was so contagious is now only 5% of cases? On another note, I am glad to see that people are finally coming around to counting the hospitalization numbers properly. I am curious to see how this effects the % that are actually being treated for covid vs there for something else and testing positive.
exactly...this is what we need to get to endemic status IMO...I have resigned myself to the fact that I am going to get COVID and that thankfully I have made it to a less virulent strain
It did says it was an estimate. Since they only sample a portion of tests for which variant. Not sure how they get at the number.
Omnicron is way more contagious, and it is simply out-pacing Delta. The good news is that signs point to it being less severe. So if a large swath of population gets Omnicron, it will build up immunity across the population with less severe disease. The bad news. A way more contagious variant of a less severe virus, could still land a ton of people in the hospitals.

That's all we can do.
Lots of people are not getting tested...some of these are clearly sick with the CV, while others may have been infected with no symptoms.
agreed...we have both our children full vaccinated but that is not the case for most of the US...and with your vaxx status, may likely have very light symptoms. On the other hand, those not vaxxed are likely to get pretty sick for a decent amount of time.
Unfortunately, our children too young to vax are getting hit with this.
The CDC is getting killed with memes by healthcare workers.
Glad we are the only ones who now get shorter quarantine time after positive tests (subject to staffing of course, if the hospital declares it's in crisis, NO, yet, No time, come in to work regardless of your symptoms.), no need to quarantine after known exposure.

This is not how the government should keep a hospital staffed.
