COVID-19 >>"True and Helpful" Covid Information Thread

[cc]

Despite setting daily records for cases in Alberta, the number of people in ICU's with COVID actually dropped. I don't know what percentage of new cases are now omicron, but the ICU thing tells me it's the majority now.



Also, our premier has finally grown a pair and is demanding True Dope make all treatments, including monoclonal antibodies, the new pill as well as Ivermectin available.

Right. Hospitalizations  "continue to climb"  .. "as ICU cases fall some "



Kudos. It's a hard fight for him, but hopefully he can get the Feds to get real on treatments

It's a lot more cost effective too than waiting until folks need regular hospital or ICU stays.

Kids and teens — and even newborns — are now among the rising number of Canadians being hospitalized with COVID-19 as Omicron infections keep surging across the country to unprecedented levels.



Multiple hospitals recently began seeing an uptick in young patients infected with the coronavirus, CBC News has learned, including some of the country's largest pediatric facilities in British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec.



Uptick in admissions tied to fast spread, while respiratory infections linked to variant may hit kids harder



"Now we're seeing kids, for example, with asthma. Their asthma is getting worse and bringing them into hospital."



Kakkar's hospital, the largest mother-and-child healthcare centre in Canada, reopened its pediatric COVID-19 ward a few weeks back. The team is now seeing admissions on a daily basis, with double the number of patients as the same time last year, she said.



"We're way higher than we were previously. Part of that is because there are so many cases in the community that kids are coming in — some with COVID, some for other reasons — and we're screening COVID on admission," Kakkar explained.



"In previous waves, babies were essentially unaffected by COVID," she continued. "But now we're seeing newborns. So in that first 30 days of life, significant disease."

For the countries that are doing early treatment with Ivermectin, I applaud them. The Death Jab is not needed.

true and helpful covid information -

1. if you are vaccinated and go to the hospital, you do not get automatically tested for covid.... you either need to request a covid test or be showing severe symptoms.... otherwise you are not a 'covid case' by default....



2. if you are unvaccinated, you're automatically tested for covid regardless of what you're admitted for.... they will continue to test you periodically and each positive test is counted as a 'covid case'....



3. if you actually caught covid and thats ALL you caught, theres a less than 2% chance that you would need hospitalization....



4. if you have covid and its a severe case, you still only have a less than 1% chance of dying....



5. these 'safe and effective' vaccines that offer 99% risk reduction (that drops down to 33% in a few months requiring another shot) are based on Relative Risk Reduction.... RRR is just an imaginary figure.... Actual Risk Reduction is the gold standard of efficacy and the 'vaccine' provides less than 1% Actual Risk Reduction....



6. the definition of 'fully vaccinated' has been low-key changed to include the booster (and in somes cases a 4th shot).... in fact, the status of 'fully vaccinated' is about to be dropped entirely and replaced with 'up-to-date'.... some hospitals use these unofficial definitions when determining 'covid cases' vaxxed vs unvaxxed....

its true.... hope its helpful....

Not true.

Yes. It is far out of control everywhere now



The only good new is for those vaxxed as they are in general getting much less ill and are far less likely to need hospital  + on average  have a shorter stay if they did need it



That is supported by hospital data (which is very easy to keep track of)  from every province, country and state



All other news is not good

I know I still might catch it. Omicron gets around imunity. Especially when I have to operate a locomotive with a conductor sitting one metre away. We have a communal kitchen in the bunkhouse. But, with three doses my chances of catching it and passing it on are reduced. My chances of being a burden on the health care system are really low. It is called being a responsible adult.

I do not mean to be a dick and use your PI against you, but you have posted that you were an alcoholic at one time in your life. If you had developed diabetes or cirrhosis of the liver, using your own words, you would have been "a burden on the health care system." Such reasoning is hypocritical and flawed.

What a dumb comparison. I didn't choose to be an alcoholic. I had a disease. These selfish anti vax assholes don't have a disease besides stupidity. The unvaxxed cost us more money and delay surgeries. They cost money and lives. They are a real burden on society.

I saw that and meant to deal with it ..  . but with all the surprise insults I was getting at the very same time, I forgot to & I logged out for a while

I've never tried alcohol, but that is my understanding.

Three and a half weeks into the strictest lockdown this country has ever had, the Netherlands had a record breaking day yesterday......just under thirty five thousand cases..



The USA set a single day record too with almost 850,000 cases......over two thousand deaths.

SB is not a stupid guy, but that comparison was really stupid.

[Frood]

I don't believe SB was being malicious about the comparison, just trying to highlight that repeated refusal of healthy people to take the jabs and never ending boosters could be compared to healthy people not imbibing alcohol on benders or prolonged periods of time.... the result of either, depending on which side of this debate you're on, is a negative outcome for some quotient of either two groups of opposing factions.



So I got the point....even if I don't view these jabs positively.



SB was addressing healthcare and choices. Jabs don't stick themselves and drinks don't drink themselves. I believe his point wasn't about covid shots or liquor shots.... just the vilification of life choices.



Namaste....
