Thanks genius! (By the way Shekkie - speaking of somebody that needs to find a hobby - how about "that guy" (with multiple user names) that has nothing better to do than getting banned over & over again for rude useless comments). How about practicing what you preach Shekkie??? Hmm????

It is now two weeks (11/26) since the Omicron variant was declared by the WHO and Alec Baldwin has still killed more people than Omicron.

Please don't take this as a personal insult - but my sources disagree with the content of your post. I'll now post my own evidence to show why I disagree.

There are deaths - but less than there were at this stage when delta appeared. (see the charts from the link below). However it's still way too early to draw firm conclusions. Deaths can lag hospitalizations by 2 to 8 weeks. And hospitalizations lag cases by 2 weeks.

Prior immunity in SA "might" be limiting severe outcomes. But as DR. Topol stated in the video I posted today - we don't know what the effect of Omicron will be on the over age 60, unvaccinated, with no previous infections.

After many requests, here's an initial look at reported #Covid_19 deaths in Gauteng - the epicentre of the current #Omicron -driven #4thWave in South Africa

Remember, deaths are a lagged outcome"

"And, for those interested, here's a log scale version of the plot above:

I have little doubt some will eventually die from Omicron. That is not my point. My point is that the sky is not falling. And, I do appreciate the manner of your response.

I think it's going to get to the point where they will have to have booster shots every week. They still haven't killed off enough gullible people. The next variant will be "the one"

The hospitalizations in Sarasota County appear to be flat to rising slightly. Sarasota Memorial reported 19 covid hospitalizations today. It has been hovering near this level for several weeks now:

https://www.smh.com/Home/News-Events...ly-news-update

Through Tuesday December 7, the CDC has the 7-day new covid hospital admissions for Sarasota County at 28 (a 64.71% increase over the past seven days).

https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra...smission_level

For those of you that have been following my posts you know that I'd been calling for a minor uptick in covid trend (for Florida) by Christmas/New Years holiday. Thus far that has been pretty much the case. However the arrival of the Omicron variant makes predicting the severity of the rise much more difficult to predict. To be honest it's still way to early to draw any firm conclusions either way.

Ahead of Omicron, COVID hospitalizations are rising in 37 states

https://news.yahoo.com/ahead-of-omic...100019632.html

U.S. COVID-19 hospitalizations are now rising in 37 of 50 states, including several with above-average vaccination rates.

Meanwhile, COVID cases are again starting to climb in nearly half of the other 13 states, signaling that hospitalizations may soon follow. Among them is Florida, where cases bottomed out after a deadly summer outbreak but have increased 29 percent over the last two weeks.

COVID-19 Hospitalizations Remain Stable In Florida

https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/med...ida/ar-AARFspZ

The number of Florida hospital inpatients with COVID-19 went up slightly during the past week but remains relatively stable, according to data posted online Thursday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The data showed that 1,389 hospital inpatients in the state had COVID-19, up from 1,319 a week earlier. It also showed that 245 COVID-19 patients were in intensive-care units, compared to 239 a week earlier.

None of this is surprising. It’s flu season. Cold weather and little sunlight in 37 of 50 states.

Amazing that no one compares Argentina and Columbia’s experiences to ours. Their winter is the opposite of ours and so are their flu and Covid/Wuhan cycles. If you want proof, there it is.

The rates will go up as it gets colder and darker. This is not rocket science, but then again Covid has become political not scientific.
