Chinese "Devil Virus" - anyone worried?

12 (+, no symptoms), 10 (+ on and off again fever, cough, good since Sunday), 6 (+, no symptoms and scored some nice goals today) & 3 (-, NO CLUE HOW - must be the minnie mouse club or something she watches).

I don't even know what that shit is - I'm vaccinated, and I feel ok.

For the kids:

Ivermectin
Vit C, zinc, thiamine. Google dose per kg
Betadine mouthwash
Paracetamol for pain, fever
Cough syrup

You should change your user name to The Israeli Variant.

I hope we can somehow exist ... but if not, @Woland will find a solution.
He knows enough people, and has enough ideas, to allow us bunch of merry miserable men to stay together

The new variant seems to be insanely transmissible. Just to give you an idea, Delhi was reporting about a 100 cases a day in March, about a month ago. Today, we're reporting a whopping 25k a day in Delhi alone, with more than a 100 deaths a day. It's insane. The sheer number of people I know personally who've got it is staggering. 2020 was almost a pleasant year in comparison.


I can't give you a reason as to why this has happened (may be it's the variant), but Modi and his incompetent cronies have fucked up so massively they should be booted out of power into permanent oblivion. Except it's not going to happen. Modi is busy, even today, electioneering in the state of West Bengal, holding massive rallies every day where tens of thousands of unmasked people show up.

Meanwhile, Modi & Co. have also funded and organised the Kumbh Mela, which is a Hindu religious gathering where more than 3.5 million unmasked devotees have turned up. Utter mayhem there of course - thousands of them found positive, and several have died.

Meanwhile, our inoculation program has been a complete disaster. So far, we've vaccinated only about 10% of the population, and only 1% have got the second dose.

Vaccine shortage is a major major issue - one of the big issues being we have only 2 vaccines available in India - AZ and the locally conceived Covaxin. There's been some hesitancy about both - what with AZ's blood clot issues and Covaxin cutting corners (no phase 3 data even yet.). At present manufacturing scale, there's no chance we vaccinate the entire country before the end of 2022 - even that's optimistic. Lot of noise about other vaccines entering the market - we've approved Sputnik V for use, which is likely to be available some time in June. But none of that is going to help us get over the present wave.

As things stand, large parts of the country are struggling with shortage of beds and oxygen, including places like Delhi and Bombay. It's an absolute shambles.

So far, it's been ok.
Slight fever, but yesterday slight chest tightness. Won't lie - was weird but it passed after 20-30 minutes.
I guess it's just 'low level symptoms' due to the vaccination working.
The 3 kids who are + have no symptoms, which is why this doesn't stop until the vaccinations are 'safe' for them too.
Stay safe too Dmish

The memes won't alter the fact you were wrong about the blood clots, which is amazing as it required you to think you knew more about probability than I do, but it is what it is.

Love the misleading clickbait there.

Suggests that around 150k have received the vaccine..3 deaths in Norway.

Now share the UK data and spot the difference

The difference is probably because the UK classify a death as a Covid death if you die of any cause within 28 days of Covid.

I still don't get how people aren't more outraged and suspicious of this.
 
There's two ways of counting the deaths, one is by coroner marking it on the death cert as a contributing factor, and the second is the positive test in the last 28 days. The UK moved to the latter one, which actually means they have a lower number recorded.

Death certs are notoriously slow to be filled (personal experience of this, took over a year for a relative), which is why they moved to the quicker, but less accurate, one.

The downside is that you have a load of people naturally suspicious of it.

Yea there really isn't a perfect way to measure.

Even if you use excess deaths you'd have to work out how many non-covid deaths have been saved by lockdowns etc.

This is the most apocalyptic time I have ever seen in my life.

In the last 10 days, my life has been just making phone calls trying to help colleagues, family and friends in getting a hospital bed, an oxygen cylinder or drugs, most of which are unavailable. It is literally impossible to find a hospital bed in the capital city at the moment. Literally every single hospital has an oxygen supply crisis, with a few hours of oxygen left. Industrial oxygen is now being diverted, so I'm hoping that at least this crisis abates in the coming week.

In the last week, I've seen two acquaintances my age die. My girlfriend's family has Covid. More than half of my colleagues have it. My uncle and aunt have it. One of my colleague's mum is presently in the ICU. My mum (thankfully not in Delhi) showed some symptoms but has now tested negative.

We're now reporting over 25k cases a day in Delhi and over 300 deaths a day. I don't know how much longer this shit can last. Grim grim times.

(1) Your corrupt politicians holding rallies to drum up enough votes to keep themselves on the gravy train.
(2) The corrupted woke morons running america deciding to block deliveries of raw materials and destroying the vaccine supply chain.
(3) The corrupted brainless scientists who tried to deny the blood clots, then got proven wrong, and duly lost the trust of billions of people.

The third one is the worst. India ought to have vaccinated far more people earlier in the year which would have greatly reduced the surge now. If it makes you feel better, the variant which has consequently been produced due to having free reign over the second largest population on earth is probably going to exact similar punishment upon the rest of the world before long.

stay strong bro - hopefully, we'll overcome this shit like we've done with other viruses ... and hopefully, humanity has/is learning a lesson so that we'll be better prepared next time.
 
Yes, sorry. I did feel bad reading his situation, then when typing out something useful I was no longer aware of the feeling as my brain doesn't work that way.
