If you think that's hilarious, here's a dog playing a guitar. It's side splittingly amusing

just read that myself, apparently omicron has infected so many it now kills as much as delta did during it's peak.
That point was made by the UK's government health advisors shortly after omicron became dominant and around the time that it's low payload was being emphasized over it's high infection rate. If it's four times as infectious as delta but only hospitalises a quarter of those that catch it, it's just as bad as its predecessor.papafarang wrote: ↑January 26, 2022, 7:07 amjust read that myself, apparently omicron has infected so many it now kills as much as delta did during it's peak.
YES I know but the criteria still applies as per the original Covid 19, Overweight, Diabetics, those with respiratory problems , of which a lot opf Americans suffer from one or two of the above dangerous symptom s.papafarang wrote: ↑January 26, 2022, 7:07 amjust read that myself, apparently omicron has infected so many it now kills as much as delta did during it's peak.
Not unique to the US. Plenty fat and otherwise unfit buggers in the UK too. Seen them with my own eyes shopping at Asda, going to the pub, picking up their (fat) kids from school.Khun Paul wrote: ↑January 26, 2022, 4:00 pmYES I know but the criteria still applies as per the original Covid 19, Overweight, Diabetics, those with respiratory problems , of which a lot opf Americans suffer from one or two of the above dangerous symptom s.papafarang wrote: ↑January 26, 2022, 7:07 amjust read that myself, apparently omicron has infected so many it now kills as much as delta did during it's peak.
Boo!
Some people look at this and think that Covid-19 is only a fatal disease of the old. BUT most people normally die at a similar age -
In reality, the percentage INCREASE in death rates from Covid-19 is similar for all age groups (except those aged under 25)In the UK the median age at death was 82.3 years for males and 85.8 years for females and the modal (most common) age at death was 86.7 years for males and 89.3 years for females in 2018 to 2020; these show the typical ages at which death occurs and were very similar to the estimates for 2015 to 2017.
Yai had an adverse reaction to her first Chinese jab and refused to get the second one. Mrs tam is working on that. Yai doesn't go out much except when there's a death in the moobahn and of course that's probably the most dangerously crowded activity of all!FrazeeDK wrote: ↑January 28, 2022, 3:05 pmwell, to me it indicates that older people should certainly take every precaution possible to include vaccination, boosters, masks etc. Unless of course you're like my 84 year old sister-in-law who sits under her bungalow chewing beatlenut saying, Inot me.. I'm 84, if I die I die..." Guess that would be down the same path as Meat Loaf and that's their personal decision I reckon..
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions ... cordingly/The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a trio of studies on Friday [GT 21 January 2022] that erase any doubt that boosters are needed for optimal protection against covid-19. When science changes, policy should adapt accordingly. In this case, the same national effort used to deploy initial vaccinations should now occur for boosters.
Amazing you are now saying what has been around for vvoer 18 months, people are dying of other Health Issues exacerbated by the Covid Virus NOT by Covid itself. Please inform the Americans they will love you .....lolDrunk Monkey wrote: ↑February 6, 2022, 6:46 amIn Thailand cases are on the up but death rate low .. so good job a vaccination was available as soon as it was.
I aint no expert virologist but It seems research is showing deaths are within a certain age range and / or due to other health issues that cause complications.
