Just an FYI the cdc drop the omicron prevelance percentage. It is a difficult prediction to make and for here in Indiana we sequence about 2300 cases a week. There is a lag over the Holidays as well. My guess is that Delta is still really common and we are very much under counting the total number of cases.

Curious if anyone has gotten omicron yet? This wave is getting ridiculous. IU health is denying patients for PT or diverting them since so many therapist are out sick.
Personally I am shocked my family hasnt gotten covid yet. I do believe it is just a matter of time before it happens but hopefully it is not during this wave.

Our company has been absolutely ravaged by it. We literally lost 13 people in a matter of two hours the other day due to positive tests. Thankfully only one of them has been symptomatic so we are hoping for a quick turnaround.
Also all but one of them has been vaccinated and several of them have had the booster shot as well. These also are all non work related exposures.Last edited by Peck; 01-07-2022, 03:56 PM.

So a couple of papers came out in the New England Journal of Medicine that has the data from Riley Hospital.
They continue to admit kids and the majority are unvaccinated. There are kids in the ICU and on ventilators. They are admitting around 40ish kids a day.

I didn't read the story fully... but I'm trying to unpack this in my head. She wanted to get Covid so she wouldn't get Covid?
Is this some performance thing where she was not being allowed in certain venues, unless she was vaccinated OR had had Covid? Was she trying to get 'cleared' for antibodies in her system but refused to be vaxxed?
Did she die from Covid or did she die from being stupid? Is there another option here?Last edited by Bball; 01-22-2022, 03:43 PM.Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

So cases maybe going down but it is hard to tell. One theory out there is viral interference to explain the drop in cases overall for many viral respiratory infections not just omicron. If you haven't heard this before I will explain it real quick.
Virus infects cell and the cell sends out signal to surrounding uninfected cells to beef up defenses. Those defenses persist for awhile after the person defeats the infection making it harder for other upper respiratory viruses to infect the host.
This sort of reminds me of the Simpsons episode of Mr. Burns disease.

So this Joe Rogan and Spotify mess is getting out of hand. People love to play with conspiracy theories and have weirdos on their show since it maintains an audience but the consequences are real. You anti science for so long you won't have them in the future generating the data to produce the cures.Comment

Too much to cut and paste, but this piece about vaccines and immunity seems to make sense to me. Anything in here that looks off to anyone (Gamble1)?

No that's pretty much on point. Vaccines to upper respiratory viruses are nortiously difficult and the reason is that viruses evolved to infect this area of the body. The thing with covid is also how fast the virus replicates to the point of being able to infect others. There are not many viruses that can do that.
It mutating and gaining an advantage over a vaccine is nothing new. Basically you get sick from many types of viruses even if you have seen it before because you lost some immunity.Comment
