Mask up, social distance, get vaxxed or boosted, try to avoid lengthy spells in poorly ventilated areas, get tested promptly if exposed, isolate if infected.

None of that amounts to panic, all are reasonable precautions for an airborne pandemic roughly as contagious as measles.

Masking is a minor inconvenience, beats getting and spreading COVID for sure. Getting vaxxed and boosted, getting tested post known exposure and isolating if positive seem like no-brainers, maybe COVID shrunk yours.

As far as social distancing goes, when the risk is high, I'll avoid indoor gatherings as work and social obligation may permit, I've hardly been a hermit the last two years, I don't expect to be in the future either. I'm not the sort of person who takes every possible precaution, but I do take the ones that seen reasonable to me. My vigilance is admittedly imperfect, it yields as it inevitably must from time to time to the demands of work and social life.

Zero covid lunacyYou presume PRC announcements to be true if you think they back up what you're saying. Very revealing.

Jury's still out on whether zero COVID is lunacy. Widespread COVID related disability, diabetes, dementia, strokes, and cardiac disease from letting er rip could put the US at substantial disadvantage economically and sustain the downward trajectory of life expectancy and quality of life. It could also put us at a strategic disadvantage to competitors like China.

That said, my own policy preferences pulls up well short of zero COVID. South Korea, Taiwan and Japan seem like the examples to follow for threading the public health/personal freedom needle. Greater emphasis should be laid on indoor ventilation/filtration, also, there should be a renewed emphasis on hastening 2nd generation vaccines and treatments given the trend of immune escape.

None of that is zero COVID, it's just living with the virus. Thinking it's possible to return to the old normal is lunacy -- the world has changed, time to stop living in the past.

The Biden administration will extend for two weeks the nationwide mask requirement for public transit as it monitors an uptick in COVID-19 cases, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was set to extend the order, which was to expire on April 18, by two weeks to monitor for any observable increase in severe virus outcomes as cases rise in parts of the country. The move was being made out of abundance of caution, the person said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to preview the CDC’s action.

Scott Gottlieb on "Meet The Press"

;
There’s no question that we’re experiencing an outbreak here in the northeast, also the mid-Atlantic, parts of Florida as well, which tends to track the northeast. It’s driven largely by BA.2. And I think we’re dramatically undercounting cases. We’re probably only picking up one in seven or one in eight infections. So when we say there are 30,000 infections a day, there’s probably closer to a quarter of a million infections a day. And they’re concentrated in the Northeast right now. And that’s because a lot of people are testing at home. They’re not presenting for definitive PCR tests, so they’re not getting counted. So when you look at the Northeast, for example, cases are up 89% over the last 14 days in Washington, DC, they’re up 58% in New York City, up 65% in New Jersey. So cases are up in the Northeast, the mid-Atlantic are going up. But the rest of the country looks pretty good right now.https://bigyahu.com/transcript-dr-scott-gottlieb-on-face-the-nation-april-10-2022/

“Even with air and ocean ports open, the length of the shutdown could make this iteration the most significant logistics disruption since the start of the pandemic,” the shipping company Freightos said in an update (https://www.freightos.com/freight-resources/coronavirus-shipping-updates/) to clients this week.https://fortune.com/2022/04/19/china-covid-lockdown-cripple-global-supply-chain/

“The supply-chain situation in Shanghai continues to worsen. The port is running out of capacity for some types of cargo as importers cannot collect their goods,” Jensen wrote in a Friday post (https://www.linkedin.com/in/larsjensenvespuccimaritime/recent-activity/). “With the outbreak in Guangzhou also leading to shutdowns there, the impact on export volumes out of China will grow larger.”


Investment banks are also sounding the alarm on the potential impact of the strict lockdowns in China. In a note downgrading Chinese GDP growth expectations, UBS said even more localities have initiated “de facto lockdowns” since finding COVID-19 cases.


“Logistic problems were more widespread in April, leading to production disruptions in multiple industries,” the UBS team led by economist Tao Wang wrote. “This could impact China’s trade more significantly in April.”

COVID correlates with elevated risk of stroke, heart disease and blood clots, even in mild and asymptomatic cases.


The major finding was that people with COVID-19 have a higher risk of all sorts of heart problems at one year. That included arrhythmias (irregular heart beats or the heart beating too fast or too slow) and atrial fibrillation (a fast heart rhythm in a particular pattern). We found evidence of an increased risk of stroke, of blood clots in the legs and the lungs, and of heart failure and heart attacks. The increased risk of a broad spectrum of heart problems was evident.


I went into it thinking that [the risk] was going to be most pronounced and evident in people who smoked a lot or had diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, or some [other] risk factors. What we found is that even in people who did not have any heart problems start with, were athletic, did not have a high BMI, were not obese, did not smoke, did not have kidney disease or diabetes—even in people who were previously healthy and had no risk factors or problems with the heart—COVID-19 affected them in such a way that manifested the higher risk of heart problems than people who did not get COVID-19.


It was really eye-opening that the risk was also evident in people who did not have severe COVID-19 that necessitated hospitalization or ICU care. People who got COVID-19 and were asymptomatic, or got COVID-19 that was so mild that they were able to nurse it at home, without going to the doctor still developed an increased risk of heart problems a year out.

People who got COVID-19 and were asymptomatic, or got COVID-19 that was so mild that they were able to nurse it at home, without going to the doctor still developed an increased risk of heart problems a year out.

Given that the primary pathway of infection is inhaled aerosols, it makes sense that masking reduces transmission.



n= 1 million plus


1,112,899 students and 157,069 staff attended 61 K–12 districts across 9 states that met inclusion criteria. The districts reported 40,601 primary and 3,085 secondary infections. Six districts had optional masking policies, 9 had partial masking policies, and 46 had universal masking. Districts that optionally masked throughout the study period had 3.6 times the rate of secondary transmission as universally masked districts. For every 100 community-acquired cases, universally masked districts had 7.3 predicted secondary infections, while optionally masked districts had 26.4https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/doi/10.1542/peds.2022-056687/185379/School-Masking-Policies-and-Secondary-SARS-CoV-2

Quadruple dosed and scared, poor old fella.

81 and smarter than you.

[Winehole23]

Quadruple dosed and scared, poor old fella.Once boosted, FYI.

I'm still still trying to suss out the next step.. If I can manage to avoid infection until nasal vaccines get here I think I'll be good..

I'm not personally scared, I've a strong physical constitution and rarely get sick. And by rarely, I mean I have trouble remembering exactly the last time I was sick. Happens on the order of once or twice a decade for me in my adulthood -- more commonly when I was young, tbh. My daily work has involved close contact with the public since this whole deal started, gotta say there's been an element of luck, everyone gets sick eventually.

You guys avoid all the topical handles and personalize everything, but epidemiology isn't personal.

Y'all's avoidance of the actual topic stands out. COVID has been fairly extreme. Can you name another single cause that killed a million people in the USA in two years time?

Is there another widespread infection-- beside flu, a perfectly serous pathogen -- that causes so many chronic problems?

Cardiac, renal, neurological, hepatic, vascular, pulmonary and immunological complications of long duration can be caused by COVID. Repeated infection seems to amplify the risk rather than conferring natural immunity. This isn't speculative at all -- it's already been clocked. OG Omicron does not protect very well against Omicron relatives.

You and DMC are the gaslighters. Or you just haven't been paying attention. Or you just don't care what happens to people. Y'all being dead inside and oblivious to emergent phenomena is a kind of stupidity. I'm not a big worrier, but tbh the worriers have had the better of the argument on this topic so far, so much so that minimizers like you look either moronic or sadistic.

Maybe both, to be frank.

[Winehole23]

To quantify it in the last two years, COVID has been about as deadly as cardiac disease (which accounts for about one out of four deaths in the US annually, it's a little more serious than COVID if you're only looking at annual deaths -- an artificially narrow perspective, tbh.)

Pretty impressive for an infectious disease, heart trouble isn't. There's no vaccine for heart failure.

[Winehole23]

(In passing, one confounding factor here is that COVID *causes* heart disease. And diabetes. DVTs and strokes too.)

[Winehole23]

'Tis mild

1520565307101913089

[Winehole23]

The hypotheses that (1) COVID will attenuate in severity and (2) confer greater and greater immunity over time, seem not to be holding up very well.

It ain't the common cold.

[Winehole23]

BA.2.12 has is about to overtake BA.2, OG Omicron is barely out there now.

Coming over the horizon, but now dominant in South Africa: BA.4 and BA.5.

Cases count, the proportion of fully-vaccinated folks who will face Long COVID from infection by Omicron has been estimated at ~5%. A portion of these will have chronic disabilities from organ and vascular damage and will require prolonged medical care, even after mild/moderate disease.

The B.1.1.529 (Omicron) variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has previously been reported as more transmissible, but less severe than other SARS-CoV-2 variants. To test this assumption, we linked state-level vaccination data with quality-controlled electronic health records from a large healthcare system, including 13 hospitals, in Massachusetts, USA. We then performed a weighted case-control study to compare risks of hospital admission and mortality across the SARS-CoV-2 waves in over 130,000 COVID patients. Although the unadjusted rates of hospital admission and mortality appeared to be higher in previous waves compared to the Omicron period, after adjusting for confounders including various demographics, Charlson comorbidity index scores, and vaccination status (and holding the healthcare utilization constant), we found that the risks of hospitalization and mortality were nearly identical between periods. Our analysis suggests that the intrinsic severity of the Omicron variant may be as severe as previous variants.https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-1601788/v1

You're the dumb one who thought we could "ring vaccinate" covid away and then thought ac filters duct taped on box fans would get rid of covid.I said we shouldn't give up on containment, not that ring vaccination would do the trick. Your memory is shitty, or you Don't care to be accurate.

And while it's true I've repeatedly stressed the importance of indoor air quality -- and recommended DIY features such as the Corsi-Rosenthal box -- at no time did I suggest that would beat COVID by itself. That's just a crass misrepresentation. I've been talking about a layered approach including vaccines, treatments, NPIs and engineering solutions.

No magic bullet.

While perhaps you're right that everyone will be infected eventually and repeatedly, on the whole it seems better to me not to have been infected before vaccines got here.

Given the various chronic dimensions of COVIDinfection, should I manage somehow not to get infected until nasal vaccines get here that will have been even better, wouldn't you agree?

[Winehole23]

Aside, with robust testing, contact tracing and vaccines that confer sterilizing immunity -- as the nasal vaccines in the pipeline probably do -- why couldn't ring vaccination be a key part of an effort to contain outbreaks?

Perplexing.

Let er rip, what could go wrong?


Initially, public health officials believed that only a small minority of people would suffer from long COVID-19. But some studies now indicate a majority of those infected with the coronavirus are experiencing long COVID-19 symptoms.

Still, estimates on the numbers of people with long COVID are all over the map.

Researchers from the Penn State College of Medicine found that more than half of COVID-19 survivors had long COVID-19.

Another study from the University of Arizona found that about 2 out of 3 people who experienced mild or moderate cases of coronavirus had long-lasting symptoms.

Other reports have been more conservative, estimating anywhere between 10 to 30 percent of those infected develop long-term symptoms. Those who experience ongoing symptoms from long COVID-19 have sometimes come to be known as COVID-19 long haulershttps://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/3487747-experts-perplexed-over-number-of-people-getting-long-covid/

That our lives aren't worth very much appears to be a solid bipartisan consensus. Both major parties are whistling past the graveyard.

The next wave is already here.


The United States is now in the midst of a new wave related to Omicron variants BA.2 and BA.2.12.1 with over 90,000 confirmed new cases a day and a 20% increase in hospitalizations in the past 2 weeks. That belies the real toll of the current wave, since most people with symptoms are testing at home or not testing at all; there is essentially no testing for asymptomatic cases. The real number of cases is likely at least 500,000 per day, far greater than any of the US prior waves except Omicron. The bunk that cases are not important is preposterous. They are infections that beget more cases, they beget Long Covid, they beget sickness, hospitalizations and deaths. They are also the underpinning of new variants.https://erictopol.substack.com/p/the-covid-capitulation

To recap, we have a highly unfavorable picture of: (1) accelerated evolution of the virus; (2) increased immune escape of new variants; (2) progressively higher transmissibility and infectiousness; (4) substantially less protection from transmission by vaccines and boosters; (5) some reduction on vaccine/booster protection against hospitalization and death; (6) high vulnerability from infection-acquired immunity only; and (7) likelihood of more noxious new variants in the months ahead
