Just got an email from one of the trauma centers. While Covid census is up, no plan to scale back elective cases for now. They look week to week.

One of the fundamental realities that anecdotal stories are missing is that from the very beginning, most Covid positive patients will experience mild symptoms.
The minority, however, is well above the threshold of statistical significance.
Omicron is fixing to fuck shit up. Milder? Well, maybe. But so virulent that "milder" don't matter a single fuck. For the next month and a half, the grim reaper is going to be working overtime.
Ballgame?

Yall seem to be forgetting the fact that despite the weaker strain/less risk for a hospitalization overall, we could still see the healthcare system overwhelmed just because of how fast its moving and how many people this thing is infecting.
Even if this thing isnt that bad, itll still suck for the unvaxxed and the weak… specially if 1 million people a day are contracting it
Not seeing this yet in North Texas. I guess the next two weeks will show us one way or the other. With all of the other surges by this point I was getting emails from OR directors to cancel non critical (ie life/limb threatening) surgeries at the big hospitals. Not seeing it this time

Yep. It was Brady's decision all the way.
Tom showed just how cut throat he was when he let AB crash at his house. No way I would let that crazy sumbitch around my family after the way he treated his own family.

For that age group, not the entire population. I'm just estimating that based on prior studies on hospitalization rates pre Omicron and the 80% reduction suggested by the more recent Omicron studies. If you have better data, by all means point me that way.
I haven’t seen any numbers of percent positives being hospitalized that’s why I was asking if you had. Also apparently the newer numbers have a higher percentage of hospitalized positives that are hospitalized for something else and are being found by routine screening. With the spike in positives I would expect 5% hospitalizations in 70-80yo to overwhelm the system. I guess we will see in the next 2 weeks

Ugh. Again, if he gets infected, hospitalizations for that age group given omicron and his vaccination status are probably on the order of 5%. That's comparatively low to what it has been. But it isn't the absurdly low rates you've been suggesting based on your misunderstanding of the data.
Where do you see 5/100 positives being hospitalized?

Assuming omicron is actually less severe as opposed to merely reinfecting the previously infected and vaccinated.
Even then, an 80% drop in hospitalization rate still leaves a decent chance at hospitalization for those in the older crowd, especially with only partial vaccination.
Anecdotal, but my dad, my aunt and her husband tested positive the week before Christmas. Dad had JnJ, they had Moderna, none boosted. All late 70’s w multiple comorbidities including obesity. Dad had head cold, no loss of smell/taste. Uncle had cough and fever/chills w loss of smell/taste. Aunt is on prednisone for autoimmune disease and felt the worst w fever up to 102. All are recovered
Also anecdotal but with every previous surge by now the trauma centers I work at had all closed the ORs to elective case due to Covid cases overwhelming them. Knock wood that isn’t happening this time

Yet, Texas has more top 25 finishes during the same period. The same school you says sucks at football. Funny how that works.
Pole assassins monkey would have that record at Texas

My father thinks if he catches Omicron is will "only be a cold." He had one J&J shot last May.
For omicron he’s probably correct

Upon further introspective review, I was wrong to say that Kyle Rittenhouse will be the VP on the future, winning Donald Trump Jr. ticket. It will clearly be Kid Rock. Because we deserve a VP whose first address will start with "Bucka, bucka, mothafucka!"
That is 100% what we deserve.

I think he’s like any other runner in that instance but it looks like defender hit with the crown so should be targeting regardless

Not going to listen but prior to SARS and MERS the 4 coronaviruses that infect humans are variants that cause the common cold. Assuming we can’t contain and eradicate the virus, as it mutates the dominant strains should become more infectious and cause less severe illness than prior strains (no guarantees of that but natural selection would favor such a strain). Covid may be heading that way. Also it’s not really a novel virus anymore, as the immune systems of a majority of people have been exposed either by vaccine, illness, or both
