Want to end Covid? Turn off the news. There, Covid's over.
for you to think covid only effects the news, means that YOUR only ignorant and limited source of info is said news.. maybe you should turn off your source first. and then get out of your house and speak to doctors and nurses in ICU wards actually dealing with sick people
no i dont mean your homeopathic witch doctor offering herbal supplements and back massages as cures for cancer. i mean real medical doctors treating real patients on real icu wards
i really laugh if you think the only experience anyone has of getting sick from covid is watching tv.. utter moron to think thats the only place people experience things.
if the news is scaring you then yes switch it off.. or atleast do some research.. but dont think that switching off the news makes the virus vanish.. a cure for the virus is not a flip of a button on a remote control.
in the UK during september-november there were ~850 average a day admissions to hospital.. in december this number was rising to 1900 admissions a day.
if you think that omicron is less of a problem than delta or alpha or beta, then you really are looking at the wrong sources of information
yes 3x people are getting infected and so far only 2.2x are going to hospital.. but those numbers are not 0
Both my girlfriend and I have been infected with Covid, not sure which variant, they never told us. We've been at home for the past week, had mild fever (38 C ~) the first days, and would often randomly spike out of the ordinary. My throat is extremely sore, and my girlfriend is coughing terribly. It's an awful experience that you can't even visit the supermarket and have to have someone to do it for you. We were both vaccinated with two doses, and would have received the third one within January.
On top of that, the hospital here is almost full of cases, getting assistance is tremendously difficult, since they are fed up with the situation. I've got a few acquaintances which were unvaccinated and also got infected, some of them are in a terrible condition.
From my point of view, this winter is crucial in the pandemic's course, while it's possible that we still have a long way to go.
