The Coronavirus Thread

Two people with vacvinations died. Maybe not boostered. Vaccines don't work! 4/4 died and two were vaccinated!

Those people aren't even aware of these stories, are they?

I've decided that the best response is to just keep handy the names of a few similar thinkers who have since died of covid. --that's fine, you're not alone... so and so said _______, and blah, blah said _________, they both later died of covid.

It's not like it's the black death and we are still unaware of germ theory. Or...

I've seen many documentaries about train robbers. The sheriff will be getting a posse together. They ride at dawn.

The researchers behind one recent study at Oregon Health and Science University, conducted during the Delta wave, described this double-duty protection "superimmunity" — a finding reinforced by recent CDC data suggesting people with both a vaccine and a prior infection were the least likely to contract COVID-19 with Delta.

While data on Omicron is still trickling in, early research out of Austria (not yet peer-reviewed) suggests the same may be true for vaccinated people who got COVID in recent weeks.

Superimmunity doesn't work without the foundation of vaccination in place — a natural infection alone isn't going to deliver anything beyond normal immunity, potentially high medical bills, and the risks of severe sickness and long COVID.

".. potentially high medical bills.."

Shouldn't this be in the US Only thread...?

Nobody wants to talk about covid.

I'll be over it when the gigs come back.

Covid kills woman in her 20s. One member of my family still refuses vaccine because "it's almost over" and if it is, that would prove he was right.
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) -The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department reported three additional deaths from COVID-19 on Friday. The three deaths were a man in his 90s who was hospitalized and vaccinated; a woman in her 20s and a man in his 60s who were both hospitalized and unvaccinated. This brings the total number of deaths to 382.

There is no guarantee that the next variant will be as mild as the current one.

FFS, get chipped.

That tends not to be the course of a virus but it could occur given the immense human petri dish.

Another week, another damning party allegation. Boris Johnson reportedly had a birthday party during the first lockdown in 2020, according to ITV News. It is said to have been attended by up to 30 people, including the interior designer Lulu Lytle, on the afternoon of 19 June.

While the alleged festivities were taking place, the mood across the country was more muted. Throughout the pandemic, singing near others was cautioned against owing to fears it could aid the spread of the virus. Gatherings were permitted for up to six people outdoors, but they were not permitted indoors. It was not until more than two weeks later, on 4 July, that indoor gatherings between two households were permitted.

And while non-essential shops had reopened on 15 June, pubs, restaurants, hairdressers and indoor theatres all remained closed...

I don't think he can claim this party was a works do. Downing St seems to have been party central during the first lockdown.
