In mid-December, San Francisco posted new daily case totals that exceeded numbers from the summer delta variant-driven wave and last winter's wave. However, two weeks later, the city's hospitalization numbers are still a fraction of what they were during the previous two waves. UCSF's Dr. George Rutherford told SFGATE that in the past, hospitalizations have tended to increase 10 days after cases started to increase.
81% of San Francisco's total population is fully vaccinated.
Health experts say that when reading reports on rising hospitalizations, another important caveat to keep in mind is the distinction between COVID-19 patients hospitalized "with" COVID-19 vs. "for" COVID-19. Wachter said that San Francisco's hospitals are not reporting whether patients are in the hospital primarily because of the disease or if they were hospitalized for another reason but were tested and found to have COVID-19.

“Not just them. Pssssst. South Africa 139 dead today. Clear uptrend since pre Omicron.
The it’s-more-gentle narrative is at huge risk.”
You forgot your:
“MUHUhahahahahHAHA!”
Incredible how few hospitalizations there have been among the vaccinated population. Still, there are people dying in other parts of the population and that is tragic.
Nonsense, we are the control group
The bathhouses are still open but probably require masks. I wish I was kidding.
In 1918 the first flu bug put a lot of people in the hospital, but killed very few. Later that year, it mutated into a deadly strain. We seem to have experienced the reverse,
Well they sure didn’t shut them down to stop AIDS from spreading, so why would they do so they stop COVID, right?
Days ago for Owen, I posted:
South Africa data as of 31 December 2021 —
( 91,061 COVID deaths / 59,308,690 South Africans ) x 100 = 0.154 percent
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/region/south-africa
About 15 one-hundreths of one percent “officially” dead from the “pandemic,” the taxonomy of includes “presumed” and “assumed” and other wiggle words from the WHO — April 2020 — is what the hysteria in the big-name media is all about.
About 15 one-hundreths of one percent.
South Africa update for Owen — 4 January 2022
{ 91,312 COVID deaths / 59,308,690 South Africans ) x 100 = 0.154 percent
The new deaths did not move the percentage until one gets into the fourth decimal place.
But as to Owen's “139 dead today,” many more South Africans died than his enthusiastic telling of Covid deaths.
( 59,308,690 population of South Africa x .01 ) / 365 days in a year = an average of 1,625 deaths per day is somewhat normal.
“The it's-more-gentle narrative is at huge risk.” The tally each day tells the opposite.
Still about 15 one-hundreths of one percent.
We all have such little time left there is none available for such things.
The obvious conclusion is that both business travel and tourism to San Francisco should be put off. Spending money there is too risky as “new cases” await to infect the unsuspecting tourists and the lax business clientele. Beware! Stay away! A plague of cases awaits!
So now the virus “unfolds.” Scary!
I keep thinking that if this was a real pandemic with a real serious disease like the plague, then we would see thousands of the (drugged out or mentally disturbed) homeless dropping dead in San Francisco, LA, New York. And that would be the news day and night. Nonstop.
But it’s not.
Can you please link to a source that shows South Africa had 139 deaths from Omicron today?
I can’t find that result anywhere. Thanks.
You have to look more carefully. Early December Omicron was already 70+% dominant in South Africa and it’s a month later now, with it having reached 70% from 3% in about 3 weeks.
No reason to believe the growth rate would stop just because people wanted to believe Omicron is mild.
Owen is a clown. He loves the doom and terror and it has so fried his mind that he can’t even stay consistent in his fear mongering.
SA had peaks in the 800+ per day at the height of the original wave and not far from that in the height of the delta wave.
There has been plenty of time for Omicron to replicate that, but it hasn’t.
At some point, people are going to get tired of the doom predictions not coming to pass.
So the answer is no, you can’t document your claim of 169 deaths in South Africa “today”, nor can you link to any source.
Got it. Thanks for playing.
Not deaths. You can’t escape. Covid Deaths. The number is Covid deaths.
And there’s only one sort of Covid there.
Why are you doing this? It’s obvious they died of Omicron.
