Pattern Ghost Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 So, I got my brain tickled on Tuesday, returned to work on Wednesday and Thursday, got my booster shot on Thursday after work, was down for four days (counting today) with shot reaction, required to get my brain tickled again for those symptoms . . . I'm starting to lose count of my COVID swabs. Probably pushing ten at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 As expected, Omicron does evade Pfizer immunity to a significant degree: Not totally disastrous, however. Vaccination may still confer enough immunity to keep people out of the hospital, especially if vaccination+third booster is equivalent to vaccination+infection. We'll still have to wait a couple of weeks (meaning, we'll have to wait for people to start dying) to know what the real world implications are.

unclevlad Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 It may be fortunate I got Pfizer for round 1 and round 2, and Moderna for the kicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Oh my. The South Africa numbers show why omicron is causing another big round of worries. 300 cases a day or so, for much of mid-November. An upswing as the month ended...but MASSIVE jump in December, now up to 10,000 new cases a day. Omicron likely isn't the only reason, of course, but still...South Africa doesn't celebrate Turkey Day, and it's too early for Christmas gatherings. It's summer down there, not winter. No obvious difference...except omicron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt the Bruins Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 Was Delta prevalent in South Africa, or were those 300 cases/day primarily indicative of the infectiousness of the other variants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 Delta was present, if not prevalent, in South Africa. IIRC South Africa is somewhere around 50% vaccinated as well. Regardless, Omicron is massively outcompeting Delta (and all other covid strains). That was apparent 2.5 weeks ago through testing, which is why everyone flipped their s__t back then. The biggest question now is how lethal it is. Meanwhile, the bill for 60 days of intubation in the ICU: Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time out here. This site also has these stories: Quote The Georgia audit held in November 2020 after the election that provided the corrupt Secretary of State support that the election in his state was fine was not fine itself. Some damaging information provided through an FOIA request verifies this. And another story about election fraud in Arizona; those stories are from July. Another echoes a Newsmax story that Pope Francis is dying...which has zero corroboration or even supporting information. So this alleged story has a HIGH probability of being nothing but disinformation and lies in my book.

I'd say, try to get a recall election going, but even if successful, that would take far too long. I don't know if anyone else can have standing to file an appeal. This is really obscene, IMO. The comments eviscerate the AG and the whole situation, at least on the first page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
