The Coronavirus Thread

[Scot Dutchy]

In Ozland ... you are a mess. A tiny population in such a big country. Just get vaccinated.

I have explained this to you before. The vast majority of Australians do indeed want to get vaccinated (even with some worries about AstraZeneca and blood clotting). We would have about the same proportion of resolute anti-vaxxers as most of the world. It's simply that our horrible Federal Government totally stuffed up the vaccine procurement process, partly from sheer incompetence, and partly through complacency from our relatively low covid case numbers last year.

I fully understand Jim but going on about masks the whole time is in question here and would not be with you if were vaccinated. The sheeple of the UK just dont trust Johnson (well would anyone).

BTW 82% of new hospital cases here have not been vaccinated.

I've spoken of this jestingly, but I'm beginning to wonder whether the current and future mortality differential due to anti-mask and anti-vaccine sentiments will reduce the number of potential Republican voters sufficiently to actually affect some election results. In contests that are knife edge, it might just do that...

Then there was a medical worker who told of a patient dying from Covid and still insisting it was a hoax.

The gene pool thanks them for their service.

Health experts are preparing for a "nightmare scenario" in Australia, with early data from both overseas examples and the local outbreak showing the Delta strain is more severe as well as being harder to contain.

The warning comes as early data from the NSW outbreak shows more people are in hospital intensive care wards than during the peak of Victoria's second-wave outbreak, which had substantially more active cases.

The raw data from NSW is backed up by early studies out of Canada, Scotland and Singapore which show the Delta strain appears to be associated with a higher risk of hospitalisation and death.

And last week leaked internal documents from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared "the war has changed", citing studies showing Delta caused more severe illness than earlier variants.

So, not only hugely more transmissible, but causes more severe illness as well...

I'm feeling Crumplesque...

You're vaccinated right? It's nearly all unvaccinated filling the hospitals here.

The same is true here as well Sean. 83% is unvaccinated or just had one jab. The Ozland government is covering up.

Both of us have had our first jab. I'm due for my second in a couple of weeks, Bron a few weeks after that, but they may be able to bring that forward. And sure, being vaccinated, even with one jab, seems to greatly reduce the chance of severe illness.

No, they're not, although I'm sure they would like to. They are being bombarded by the opposition and media over their vaccine tardiness, and are suffering in the polls as a result.

Covering what up? Your bullshit 83% figure? What data didn't you rely on to come up with that figure?

[laklak]

It's ALL fucking fairy data. Ain't nobody know sheeit.

Seriously, who do you believe? They've all got axes to grind. I

[pErvinalia]

Fairy conspiracy!
