About 99 thousand cases, 4.6 thousand deaths. Need help?

After April 17 2020 when China added 1,290 deaths at once to their tally, they recorded just 4 deaths.

So that has been around 18 months.

However in that period they went from 82,692 cases to 98,711. So a net increase of 16,019 cases for 4 deaths.

4/16019 = 0.025%.

100 - 0.025 = 99.975.

Omicron is hitting the vaccinated hard. So it easily breaks thru the vaccines, even if you get weekly boosters.

Good news is that omicron is harmless with mild symptoms.

Latest is that it continues to tend milder and in the younger. But those hospitalized are mainly the unvaxxed.

You know, if you would take a hot second to actually read and understand the conversation, you wouldn't ask such dumb questions.

Oh ... lol.

If your grand plan depends on your enemy becoming your friend, you should probably get a better plan.

Exactly. Antifa is much smarter than the liberals. At some point, persistent antisocial behavior only responds to violence, not persuasion.

Something like 66-80% of cases are asymptomatic. One of those early stats that didn't fit the narrative so they quietly dropped it.

Yeah nobody cares about COVID it doesn't cause any problems it's not like we've had labor or material shortages the past year not to mention all the deaths. For reference here's a picture of everything being fine.

The only thing causing labor or material shortages is the government's failed response to covid, not covid itself.

Have you booked your plane ticket to Beijing yet?

For Dec 1, SA had over 8,000 new cases which is about 1/3 of their previous peak. They had 28 deaths which is 1/30th of their previous peak. So, either Omicron is not as deadly as previous covid versions and/or the trailing deaths haven't got going yet.... hoping it's the former.

90% hospitalized are unvaccinated in a country where 80% of people are unvaccinated does not tell us anything. In fact I heard something like 13% of the hospitalizations were vaccinated.
