Very good. Three previous such declines. Did they stay down? Why should they?

What happened to Delta? Seems no one is talking about it anymore.

It's being pushed towards extinction by Omicron.

I stopped looking at the numbers as the lies kept piling up.

You don’t understand statistics do you? UK deaths are rising very, very slowly. FAR slower than infection rates for omicron. This proves a much, much lower death rate per case i.e. infection fatality rate.

This means omicron is far less fatal than previous variants such as Delta. Until you understand basic statistics and numerical reasoning you must, MUST stay out of these debates, for the simple reason that you’re illiterate as far as numbers are concerned.

Nothing sensible about it. He’s asking for scientific reasoning and you’re talking about some tired workers? Come on, that’s not even remotely a scientific answer. That’s government and media propaganda. And laziness if you ask me. Medical workers are supposedly “heros”, well get to work you flagging heros. Do your duty and quit your whining.

No hospital system has ever crashed, in any state or province. Hospitals have been severely strained. Some full to the brim and patients had to go to other hospitals. That is not remotely hospital system collapse. Not even close. Did you see Indians dying in the streets with nowhere to go? That was systemic collapse. Did that happen anywhere in the U.S. ?

Stop coming here to spread propaganda and drama. Covid isn’t a joke, but nor is it an emergency. It’s a natural event leading to a large number of natural deaths. Ethically and politically a non-event. Viruses spread people die, it’s what supposed to happen if you are even remotely familiar with the science of biology. Follow the science right?

CDC data show the most common symptoms are cough, fatigue, congestion and a runny nose.

In short a cold!

RE: He’s asking for scientific reasoning and you’re talking about some tired workers? Come on, that’s not even remotely a scientific answer.

I think the “scientific” ( note the quotes ) reasoning of the response to Phil Mickelson’s question is based on this assumption (which in my view, does not apply to Omicron infections): Unvaccinated are getting hospitalized by several orders of a magnitude compared to the Vaccinated. Therefore, the unvaccinated are overwhelming the hospitals and crowding out necessary procedures for people with other illnesses.

Of course that response does not answer the question that Phil posed which is: “If omicron is contagious but not deadly (25,000 cases in Africa with no deaths) why try and control it?”

If it isn’t deadly, obviously, the assumption that those who are infected with it ( even the unvaxxed ) are overwhelming hospitals are wrong.

But then again to follow up with what I wrote above, consider this — Omicron is several orders of a magnitude more contagious that the previous variants.

Evidence to date suggests the symptoms of omicron are milder than other variants and fewer people will be hospitalized. That’s the good news.

But this link:

https://www.deseret.com/coronavirus/2021/12/15/22837481/omicron-variant-spreads-faster-delta-variant

tells us that Omicron spreads 70 times faster than Delta.

So, if seventy times the number of people are being infected in a short period of time than other variants, the fraction of people becoming severely sick may be lower, but the absolute number could be higher, filling up beds in ICUs.

That’s the assumption behind the twitter response to Phil Mickelson.

The British Health Security Agency Report report on Omicron transmission, which was based on an analysis of about 148,000 Delta cases and 68,000 Omicron cases, also included recent data suggesting that Omicron infections are less likely to lead to hospitalizations than Delta infections.

The findings should be interpreted cautiously, the agency has noted, because there have still not been many Omicron cases, relatively speaking, and the people who have contracted the variant may not be representative of the broader population.

Actually, this Tweet response o Phil Mickelson is the most sensible of all and needs to be checked if true or false:

“Because the health care system is overwhelmed with unvaccinated patients and hospital staffs are exiting from exhaustion and frustration.”

I know this much. Hospital staffs are not 'exiting from exhaustion and frustration'. They are exiting because they refuse to take the fake poison vax and are being fired. That's a stone fact.

The question you should be asking yourself is, WHY are they refusing the vax?

Absolutely right. If exhaustion were the reason, they’d have excited back in 2020 when they actually WERE exhausted. Now, instead of being heralded as heroes as they were then, they’re being bullied by tyrants to be needle raped.

I have a nephew who contracted Covid in February ‘20. He’s 150 lbs overweight, high blood pressure and diabetes. The day he was admitted to the IC he was started on the hydroxycloroquine protocol treatment and was home ten days later. When Trump endorsed this treatment shortly thereafter and the world health community went into propaganda overdrive in an effort to take this proven effective therapeutic out of the equation, I realized the entire Covid narrative was a fraud. I’m sure Hippocrates would be amazed to see 80% of the world’s doctors are nothing more than government stooges letting patients die to satisfy the world health community’s viral Lysenkoism.

Because the health care system is overwhelmed with unvaccinated patients

What percentage of COVID-positive patients are vaccinated vs. unvaccinated?

It’s not a trivial thing to simply ramp up medical services.

It takes close to 4 years to even become a nurse. Doctor is nearly a decade.

Many healthcare workers quit or died during the pandemic. There are fewer new people willing to study and do these jobs since the pressure has increased dramatically. They hear the horror stories from people doing it now and quit studying.

Increasing pay has diminishing returns since most people cannot handle the pressure nomatter the pay. It takes a certain type of person to do the job well and they are rare.

Capacity will not improve any time soon so we need to ALL help relive the pressure on hospitals...
