    Anecdotally, it seems Arcturus strain is on the rise in SA area. It packs a little more wallop than omicron. More like a flu than the sniffles. Commonly 102-104 fever, body aches, coughing & chest congestion. Paxlovid shuts down most symptoms in 1 to 2 doses. The ones I know who just rode it out naturally started seeing symptom's resolve on days 4 or 5.
    We dont need people sick because the symptoms keep them down. The vaccine preliminary results show it reduces symptoms and protects.

    You've gotten to the point where your responses are always to some weird conversation going on in your head and not what was actually posted

    You are an antivaxxer.
    And you like to talk economics.

    lol I'm not an antivaxxer. I just didn't get addicted to unnecessary boosters (scientifically proven) like you vaccine cultists.

    What a pile of . Not an antivaxxer. So you think, for PUBLIC HEALTH reasons, people should have taken the pin prick ?

    The vaccine, like the others, appears to prevent bad symptoms.
    So you wont get it if it would save you 4 work days? I certainly would.
    Oh. You dont work. You are retired... okay I understand, you would be lying in bed anyways.

    Sure and there is a large percentage of asymptomatic infections too.

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9321237/

    Conclusion: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, the pooled percentage of asymptomatic infections was 32.40% among SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant-positive individuals. The people who were vaccinated, young (median age < 20 years), had a travel history, and were infected outside of a clinical setting (community infection) had higher percentages of asymptomatic infections. Screening is required to prevent clustered epidemics or sustained community transmission caused by asymptomatic infections of Omicron variants, especially for countries and regions that have successfully controlled SARS-CoV-2.
    Why do you insist on handwaving at only the worst case scenarios?

    We'll see if it's handwriting or not. It appears the the risks are ulative. The more times you get infected, the greater the chance of organ damage, chronic disease and death via the same. COVID is an ongoing mass disabling event.

    Hospitals getting tapped out by the latest surge in Okinawa.

    Okinawa is facing a major epidemic for the first time in Japan since the transition to the 5th category of the new coronavirus. Now that Okinawa Prefecture has no longer coordinated hospitalizations, local clinics, which are on the front lines of dealing with rapidly increasing fevers, are being hit hard. "Even after visiting seven or eight hospitals, we still can't find a place for our patients. Adjustments are continuing to the point where life is being lost. Rather than a medical crunch, it's collapsing." (Chie Shinohara, Digital Editorial Department)

    Akebono Clinic (Director Osamu Tamai) in Naha City decided to limit the number of fever patients to 10 per day, and called for reservations in advance. Immediately after the hospital opened, there was a flood of calls, and the slots were quickly filled. Since then, the phone has continued to ring, seemingly asking for medical attention, but "I don't have time to deal with it," a clerk said.

    You do know that there are people with long Covid that get over it right? Unlike say Lyme's disease where no one gets over it.

    Never been a fan of fearmongering the unknown.

    Some do, some haven't. Pointing out adversity isn't fearmongering, it's just information.

    I've probably posted more on vaccines, treatments and engineering solutions than anyone here.

    Do you consider that fearmongering too?

    Biasing it so that only the bits that you find scary are posted is fearmongering. We can discuss the meaning of the word monger and how that dynamic applies if you like.

    Fearmongering and information are not mutually exclusive.

    I'm not sweeping COVID under the rug. we have billions of dollars in R&D still and have and are continuing to develop useful tools and behaviors to mitigate it.

    I don't dispute that and even a few months I wouldn't say what I am saying. Lately though you are acting like something has you shook and you want people along for the ride.

    I'm not troubled by your opinions about me, topicality really isn't your deal here. You mostly pick fights over personal stuff, which is fine, but boring.

    No correlation has yet been shown to COVID, it's anybody's guess why this is happening.
