That one predates Omicron and is already smothered out. I.e.e B.1.640.2 actually predates Omicron - in all that time there are exactly... 20 sequenced cases (compared to the >120k Omicrons in less time) First one was Nov 4 (Before Omicron) Last one was Dec 6, before the omicron wave. I...

New York is going to start reporting the incidental covid case hospitalization numbers tomorrow (I.e. in for other reasons and in tested at admission to be found to have covid). In Miami it's around 50%-60% incidental (At least in Jackson Health) https://twitter.com/JacksonHealth/ South Africa...

Although cases are rising, hospitalization seems to be mostly incidental (meaning patient positive with Omicron but in for other reasons, not for Omicron) in Florida. The place with the lowest ICU covid percentage is Florida. Other places where the Delta wave was still going was higher...

For New Years Eve? Is this going to get wildly ignored? This doesn't even make sense.

Official ZA Government Source: https://sacoronavirus.co.za/2021/12/24/circular-revision-to-contact-tracing-quarantine-and-isolation-protocols-23-12-2021/ This is the start of the end of the pandemic, just not quickly enough for most places and will take probably a good 6-8 months for these...

UF has put out a new Covid projection model for Florida including Omicron https://epi.ufl.edu/covid-19-resources/covid-19-models/florida-covid-19-omicron-wave-projections.html Similar to the delta one that turned out to be quite accurate until Omicron hit. Difference here is case peak is...

Florida Hospitalization hasn't moved too much this week either, slightly higher, but still lower than anytime before October. 2.6% https://protect-public.hhs.gov/pages/hospital-utilization Cases are shooting up in a lot of places, but data from South Africa this morning in a conference from...

The source for this is from the Hong Kong Study. Effectively much more bronchial, almost no lung. Which is why the symptoms usually don't include oxygen loss. Rapid spike in cases (as in breaking records nearly everywhere, even in areas that haven't had spikes) then followed by a rapid...

Florida's Covid Hospitalization is hovering around the same as last week. 2.41% (1403) which is slightly down from a week ago's number (Dec 8) of 2.77% (1477). It's jumping around day to day, but basically remaining flat. It remains among the lowest per capita in the nation currently and the...

Hospitalization remains flat in Florida again this week, holding around 2.38% (up slightly from 2.32% last friday), it's still in a range lower than its been at any time since April 2020. The University of Florida Model I've been watching closely...

All indications so far is that It is mild. The predominant symptoms are cough, body pains, headaches and tight chest but no evidence of lung involvement (pneumonia). The loss of taste and smell is not a symptom. Most cases in SA were detected by admissions procedures while going into the...

It is mild though with the two most obvious symptoms missing in it, O2 saturation (which lowers chances for "long covid") and taste and smell loss and reports of that missing are growing. People act like there is no cost associated with overreacting, at some point you have to stop the bed...

Celebrity cruises just added that requirement a few days ago starting February, just to remove the requirement today. https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2021/12/02/celebrity-cruises-puts-child-vaccine-mandate-hold

Florida hospitalization has remain flat this week, hovering still at 2.31% (Which is the same as it was last Friday) Cases reporting last week were impacted by the holiday, but went lower, but some catch up will likely happen in this week's report, so it'll probably be a little higher again...

3 weeks ago it was at 1577 (2.8%) Rate of drop has actually increased this past week. See https://epi.ufl.edu/covid-19-resources/covid-19-models/end-of-year-projections-for-covid-19-in-florida.html for some projections (which have still remained very accurate), there's nothing indicating the...

Hospital data from south africa shows that too (mild) also is what the south African health minister and medical association is saying. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/rest-of-world/south-african-medical-association-says-omicron-variant-causes-mild-disease/articleshow/87949404.cms...

Scanning the hospital info for South Africa it appears onicron seems to be very much more mild compared to other strains even to unvaccinated. It's weird they shutdown flights there when SA just Identified it first (its becoming obvious it didn't originate there) since they have the...

Ioa's overall theme is "stories of adventure"... not books. But a lot does come from literature

This variant has already been around for months if the news media is talking about it, and assuming the worst. Actually the Belgian case came from Egypt it seems. The Hong Kong patient was fully vaccinated back in May and is currently asymptomatic. 4 Botswana cases:Asymptomatic (vaccinated) 1...
