A family member of mine today was rushed to hospital in another state , VA. Don't know the details but the hospital has new rules in the ER, no one allowed inside except the patient. I can see hospitals if not already not allowing non patients inside their facility. I was allowed in ER this summer when my family member was on a stretcher bed in the small hallway for 9 hours until a room was available in the main wing due to overcrowding in ER and rooms need to be made available in the hospital which takes some time.

I don't understand, are that many people feeling bad and go get tested or just getting tested out of curiosity?

He hopes it somehow supports his “observations” that vaccines are dangerous.

Still think this could be our best chance to end the pandemic.

Why not have 1 massive NYE party where we all get Covid. That would be the best way to end this.
It is sad that the " Let it Rip " mindset is being thought of until a loved one is affected.

Not let it rip. Although it seems to be ripping all over the world on its own..

Not necessary. Omicron is doing that already.Why not have 1 massive NYE party where we all get Covid. That would be the best way to end this.

Thats how supply and demand works....if you dont attract employees you want at x rate you THINK they are worth dont be upset when your understaffed.
The differential between the unemployed and the employed is staggering. Millions of people legitimately decided they no longer want to work. Dont huff and puff when you cant find talent.
Couple that with the growing elderly cohert and diminishing working cohert thats not being replaced because having kids isn't a value proposition. Cant travel Europe at 25 with kids.

Lol I know right. I believe it's essentially Monoclonal Antibodies that attack a variety of different aspects(epitopes) of the virus that doesn't seem to change based on the different varients. As in they don't attack just the spike protein which is seeming to change a bit with the varients is my understanding. Could be wrong. There are smarter people on these boards that I'm sure can interpret this better.
You are aware ? that it is peak flu season and people on line may want to be sure if they have the flu or covid which symptoms are somewhat similar. Getting tested out of curiosity is reality also.

While it's true it is going through the population quickly and through many people, I don't think you can come to the conclusion that this will be the end of Covid. Til more of the world's population are vaccinated this will continue.
That and if it's like where I work, if you have symptoms they want you to get tested.

But that's the point.It’s not the media that does the studies on food nutrition.. or why a glass of wine a night is good now but horrible idea a year ago. Same with eggs, chocolate etc. They just report what the newest study shows. It’s confusing why the science on it changes so frequently but here’s the best article I’ve read on it when I was looking a few months ago. So many things play into the final results. Good read.
The trouble with nutrition research: What should we eat?
Which foods are healthful? Which foods should we avoid? In this feature, we ask why the results of nutrition studies are so contradictory and confusing.www.medicalnewstoday.com
Not the studies, but the reporting of the studies.

Probably both, lots of people are testing because they were around coworkers or family that tested positive also.

Two points we have never eliminated a zoonotic disease via vaccination and we have never eliminated a coronavirus(the 4 that circulate as part of the common cold, MERS, SARS.).Why not have 1 massive NYE party where we all get Covid. That would be the best way to end this.
Multiple studies from SA, NHS Scotland, REACT study, Hong Kong University - showing a milder form of illness along with a shorter hospitalisation, also individuals potentially being infectious period starting on day 1 and not a day 4 as previously stated . If the past nearly two years has taught us anything we are seeing two variants per year dominating the entire world.
So with all that in mind and restrictions in Germany, France, Ireland, Scotland and Wales having little to know effect and reducing numbers. What are the alternatives.

Ocean County's drive-thru testing site had to close less than an hour after opening because people were lined up well before the site opened. The statewide positivity rate was 28% on Friday. Between those factors and the increasing hospitalizations numbers you mentioned and the flu season another poster mentioned, I think it's safe to say that a good amount of the people getting tested and testing positive are doing so because they don't feel good (if not the large majority). And then there are the close contacts and people who tested positive on at-home tests who want to confirm their results.

The summer spike gave their low vax rate a boost and the common custom of masking and general personal cleanliness is ingrained in the population?
That’s insane. Significant under testing. I wonder how high the real case count should be.
