It would normally be controversial that the Governor is MIA, but in the case of Death Santis it's probably saving lives.

Of course, there could be another explanation.....

Yeah it needed to be at least 80%, maybe 90%. But I don't love the study they put out. They didn't have anyone over 45 in it.. But it does look similar to UK/SA, who all have it at 50-70% due to a combo of prior immunity + possibly something intrinsic.
I personally think it's clinically a little different. The UK mechanical ventilation beds are flat, even a little down since the omicron wave began. Delta crushed the lungs.. This one is still making people very sick, but maybe in a different way and maybe the percentage reduction in the worst outcomes will be higher? Either way, our hospitals are fucked

What did they say Delta was compared to OG covid, do you recall?

Alpha was around 1.6x higher than OG
Delta was around 2.5x higher than Alpha
So Delta was around 4x more likely to put you in a hospital than OG covid.

It's mostly all omi at this point. You may have some Delta folks still in the ICU and ventilated, but this is an omicron world.

No idea if they gave up on telling people which variant they have but FWIW, when I got it I had to bug Public Health a few times to get them to tell me it was Alpha.

We really need an emergency approval of pediatric vaccines. There is a lot of this just because of the sheer number of infections.. A vaccine, even if there's 0 protection on symptomatic illness SHOULD be able to cut these hospitalizations in half. I know the Pfizer trial failed due to dosing issues (and they're in the process of giving them 3rd doses) but shit, give the kids something in the meantime if the safety is fine. It's an emergency. Cut through the red tape please.

I know people are going to disagree with me and are eager to move on, but I don't think this is a great route for the province as a whole. Hopefully I'm wrong.

You're right. I'm not surprised because this is a tough battle and the government is done fighting tough battles. But you're right. We're not there yet.

I heard that you can't book a PCR test until January 20, unless you go to a private clinic.
Is that true? If so the case numbers are meaningless. Just assume everyone has it.

governments are often a reflection of the citizenry. and my impression is that the citizenry have by and large given up.

they have said as much here (case numbers are meaningless). and despite that we are still seeing all-time record high cases (vs. any other wave) even knowing that they are likely massively undercounting the true prevalence.
Ms. Wayward's brother woke up symptomatic on christmas day. Luckily he did not go to see any family but he was able to get a PCR test on Tuesday and got his results today (positive).
