Oh yeah, I definitely haven't counted out the possibility that it may get worse again. Thankfully the odds of someone my age with COVID having to be hospitalized are very low (less than 1% for men between 20 and 29 and less than 2% for men between 30 and 39 in my jurisdiction). But you never know.

I'm sorry to hear you're unwell man.

Hope you get better soon. <3

Is it really over 1% of men 30-39 end up hospitalized for covid? That's really high.

Supposedly you're a little better off if you're female and in the O blood group, I'm both so yay.

I'll admit I'd be a little freaked if I got covid. Partly cause I feel kinda naturally unlucky.

Like I said, really hope it's not too bad for you. <3

Thanks Jess! It feels like I'm on the tail end of it (fingers-crossed).

Yep, 1.6% in my jurisdiction. Women 30-39 are actually 2.0%, and also have higher hospitalisation rates in the 10-19 and 20-29 ranges, but men overtake women in the 40-49 age range and stay ahead all the way up to 90+.

Well shit.

It's OK though my blood type still protects me right? Right?

Damn you media you lied to me again. :(

I hope you get better soon. People don't seem to grasp just how alarming a 2% risk of hospitalization is.

That's 1 in 50. Those are easy odds to find yourself on the wrong side of. Even if you don't die, it's still a whole lot of no fun. :(

Take care man. <3
 
I swear I got a big breath of COVID from the needle house today. Some lady saying they need an intake appointment lasting two hours. My time doesn’t come cheap and like I’ve done before will charge them. But they don’t pay. Shit like that is the virus.

Perhaps a possibibility to consider is your jusrisdiction may be miscounting the denominator by not picking up anywhere near the number of true infections (a given) then overcounting people rocking up in hospital with positive corona test. If that is the case your jurisdiction, fuck me that sounds like a old western movie with the jurisdiction of the sheriff, is exactly like everywhere else. Therefore that number tells me more about how competent and efficient the medical industrial complex is where you live.

More new mutations on the spike protein evolving in america. We are in a race against time before a super covid mutation happens and the world is truly fucked. every country with active covid should declare martial law and lock people in their homes because this is becoming a serious risk to the survival of the human race if fucking retards keep spreading this shit everywhere. Hell i would go the chinese route and bolt people in who dont follow the rules and disappear those who truly pose a grave threat to the health of the world. If get on board with science or go into purpose built fema camps like those conspiracy nuts use to believe.

Utter nonsense. There is no way SARS-CoV-2 is an existential threat to humanity even if it evolved multiple mutations on spike, it is not as if spike is the only epitope for antibodies, or that hairless apes haven't encountered thousands of coronvirises over the last hundred millenia, and they are still here.

If you lock people in their homes who does the virus transmit to?

What is a threat to humanity is people listening to fear mongers who advocate total destruction of society and modern civilisation out of irrational fear, that will kill people in hugely greater numbers than the COVID. The virus does not care.

I agree.
 

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them,
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.


Rather prophetic by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Black Speech and Debased Black Speech is enforced everywhere and St Jacinda of Mordor and her five-eyed demons are at the centre projecting woke darkness. The ring that controls all the other rings is fear.

I say we take off and nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

but they already did that. for two weeks. then two more weeks then two more. ect.

apparently it's not long enough.

allegedly.

it's not working.

so now what. just give up and die.

how about go back to our lives and try to live.

if it's really that bad, where are all of he corpses.

it seemed to hit the dense area's first. and then dispensed.

and anyway. i am in a sick ass sad depressed pissed off feeling hopeless mood.

trying to stay focused in a forum.

I really feel sometimes that there is more sickness and dying and yeah murder too, from the damage from methamphetamines than from taking common sense precautions from the flu.

too much of anything NEVER ends well.

sure mind as well build a tomb and live innit if you are only just able to go to walmart and safeway. lool.

it's a great world. until we all die of something. ♡
 
You know. Even if we never had a vaccine, covid would eventually evolve into just another disease like the many we already live with.

Which is by no means me saying we should just do nothing, but let's keep some fucking perspective. The only way the world or society could end over covid is human stupidity.

Viruses don't face selective pressures to become more deadly, they face pressures to become less deadly so their hosts can keep transmitting them for longer.

There are common cold Coronaviruses, we have been fighting viruses for all of our time on this planet. And we are only far more technically capable to fight them now than we used to be.
 
For those of you who will be vaccinated for COVID-19:

5 Reasons to Wear a Mask Even After You’re Vaccinated​

As an emergency physician, Dr. Eugenia South was in the first group of people to receive a covid vaccine. She received her second dose last week — even before President-elect Joe Biden.

Yet South said she’s in no rush to throw away her face mask.

“I honestly don’t think I’ll ever go without a mask at work again,” said South, faculty director of the Urban Health Lab at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. “I don’t think I’ll ever feel safe doing that.”

And although covid vaccines are highly effective, South plans to continue wearing her mask outside the hospital as well.

Health experts say there are good reasons to follow her example.

“Masks and social distancing will need to continue into the foreseeable future — until we have some level of herd immunity,” said Dr. Preeti Malani, chief health officer at the University of Michigan. “Masks and distancing are here to stay.”

Malani and other health experts explained five reasons Americans should hold on to their masks:

1. No vaccine is 100% effective.

Large clinical trials found that two doses of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTechvaccines prevented 95% of illnesses caused by the coronavirus. While those results are impressive, 1 in 20 people are left unprotected, said Dr. Tom Frieden, a former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Malani notes that vaccines were tested in controlled clinical trials at top medical centers, under optimal conditions.

In the real world, vaccines are usually slightly less effective. Scientists use specific terms to describe the phenomenon. They refer to the protection offered by vaccines in clinical trials as “efficacy,” while the actual immunity seen in a vaccinated population is “effectiveness.”

The effectiveness of covid vaccines could be affected by the way they’re handled, Malani said. The genetic material used in mRNA vaccines — made with messenger RNA from the coronavirus — is so fragile that it has to be carefully stored and transported.

Any variation from the CDC’s strict guidance could influence how well vaccines work, Malani said.

2. Vaccines don’t provide immediate protection.

No vaccine is effective right away, Malani said. It takes about two weeks for the immune system to make the antibodies that block viral infections.

Covid vaccines will take a little longer than other inoculations, such as the flu shot, because both the Moderna and Pfizer products require two doses. The Pfizer shots are given three weeks apart; the Moderna shots, four weeks apart.

In other words, full protection won’t arrive until five or six weeks after the first shot. So, a person vaccinated on New Year’s Day won’t be fully protected until Valentine’s Day.

3. Covid vaccines may not prevent you from spreading the virus.

Vaccines can provide two levels of protection. The measles vaccine prevents viruses from causing infection, so vaccinated people don’t spread the infection or develop symptoms.

Most other vaccines — including flu shots — prevent people from becoming sick but not from becoming infected or passing the virus to others, said Dr. Paul Offit, who advises the National Institutes of Healthand Food and Drug Administration on covid vaccines.

While covid vaccines clearly prevent illness, researchers need more time to figure out whether they prevent transmission, too, said Phoenix-based epidemiologist Saskia Popescu, an assistant professor in the biodefense program at George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government.

“We don’t yet know if the vaccine protects against infection, or only against illness,” said Frieden, now CEO of Resolve to Save Lives, a global public health initiative. “In other words, a vaccinated person might still be able to spread the virus, even if they don’t feel sick.”

Until researchers can answer that question, Frieden said, wearing masks is the safest way for vaccinated people to protect those around them.

4. Masks protect people with compromised immune systems.

People with cancer are at particular risk from covid. Studies show they’re more likely than others to become infected and die from the virus, but may not be protected by vaccines, said Dr. Gary Lyman, a professor at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

Cancer patients are vulnerable in multiple ways. People with lung cancer are less able to fight off pneumonia, while those undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment have weakened immune systems. Leukemia and lymphoma attack immune cells directly, which makes it harder for patients to fight off the virus.

Doctors don’t know much about how people with cancer will respond to vaccines, because they were excluded from randomized trials, Lyman said. Only a handful of study participants were diagnosed with cancer after enrolling. Among those people, covid vaccines protected only 76%.

Although the vaccines appear safe, “prior studies with other vaccines raise concerns that immunosuppressed patients, including cancer patients, may not mount as great an immune response as healthy patients,” Lyman said. “For now, we should assume that patients with cancer may not experience the 95% efficacy.”

Some people aren’t able to be vaccinated.

While most people with allergies can receive covid vaccines safely, the CDC advises those who have had severe allergic reactions to vaccine ingredients, including polyethylene glycol, to avoid vaccination. The agency also warns people who have had dangerous allergic reactions to a first vaccine dose to skip the second.

Lyman encourages people to continue wearing masks to protect those with cancer and others who won’t be fully protected.

5. Masks protect against any strain of the coronavirus, in spite of genetic mutations.

Global health leaders are extremely concerned about new genetic variants of the coronavirus, which appear to be at least 50% more contagious than the original.

So far, studies suggest vaccines will still work against these new strains.

One thing is clear: Public health measures — such as avoiding crowds, physical distancing and masks — reduce the risk of contracting all strains of the coronavirus, as well as other respiratory diseases, Frieden said. For example, the number of flu cases worldwide has been dramatically lower since countries began asking citizens to stay home and wear masks.

“Masks will remain effective,” Malani said. “But careful and consistent use will be essential.”

The best hope for ending the pandemic isn’t to choose between masks, physical distancing and vaccines, Offit said, but to combine them. “The three approaches work best as a team,” he said.
 
the us government knows covid-19 was released from the wuhan lab months before it was discovered in public.
Now we have photographic evidence leaked.

its now solved in my eyes these cunts lax appoarch to saftey has fucked the world over




Guys read this before THE CCP finds out a old news article fuck this is a crazy bomb shell that has been overlooked
