Indeed! I paid big booster cash to that theater department and have tickets to both Friday and Saturday performances next week. They'd better not cancel it. KIDDING.. This is a lot easier to postone and reschedule than the National Championship game. Can you imagine all the ticket money and hospitality industry shitshow if they tried to halt it over a dozen asymptomatic or mildly sick but positive players? That's probably the reality though that no way all 400 + of those folks (just remembered scout teams too) were 100% COVID free LOL!
Now if there are ZERO positive COVID players or staff the week before The Superbowl?? Anybody going to wager on the odds of that happening or being true but covered up and they play anyway?Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

With rapid testing, are people swabbing the back of their throats and their nose?

It looks like Omicron is more contagious so more people will get omicron but its suposedly its less deadly,
but people are still dying so because more people get it will the death totals be a wash ?
it seems like when the news mentions how many people died the figures havent changed at all
Worldometer death total for USA is already up to 872k, once it got past 800k the figures seems to be climbing much faster?Lee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

The "Ler's go Brandon" of the intelligent is "What a Moron". Thinking about making up some T shirts, but should I spell it Moran instead?

Good article. I think that premise applies very widely. The evidence for first shots first was another example: not super strong at first, but what there was clearly favored the Canadian approach. Yet the US approach was called "following the science" because the familiar part of the (many applicable) sciences favored an approach that felt conservative when measured against normal background risk--which didn't exist.
Similarly, there's a standing fear of paying people to take a vaccine or "volunteer" to participate in a test. But per the author: "People need to be persuaded or incentivized to vaccinate to protect others." So why not compensate them for acting to help society at some small but non-zero risk to themselves?* It would be cheaper to buy vaccinated-person-days directly than keep paying hospital bills.
*obviously the risks are smaller to get vaccinated than not at the moment, but plenty of people are convinced otherwise even for COVID, see: Joe Rogan etc.

I have an honest question here. Omnicron spreads just as easily, vaccinated or not. ThatÂ’s basically a fact (IÂ’m pretty sure delta did too, as IÂ’ve mentioned here before but not pertinent) Older people and unhealthy people greatly benefitted from the Vaccine. Kids and young healthy people the jury is still out. The big reason for the young demographic To get vaccinated was to stop the spread ie not give it to grandma. Remember everybody gets tested for covid at the hospital, so a 10 yr old that breaks his arm and is hospitalized and tests positive is a covid hospitalization. So of course there a higher number of kids hospitalized as covid is surging. The life stages of a corona virus start deadly and each version gets more contagious and less deadly. The question is if omnicron is end of the deadly part of the pandemic (it will always be around like the flu)and everybody is getting it, will we keep vaxxing and boosting? Or it wonÂ’t really matter because we have reached herd immunity through infection? Just like the Spanish flu. I just wonder if people will be able to go back to normal living

Overview of Covid hospitalization, current. Hope no one needs this info.
This doc runs a continuing education business. Some of his videos are targeted to other docs. Some, like this one, are understandable by mere mortals.

It's not like this is the most disruptive thing to happen in our lives ever. Oh wait! Ya, guilty as charged, but I do still get laid regularly. Thanks for asking.
I'm sorry if you don't want to hear about what's happening in the real world, or at least as much on this forum. I recommend you find another thread to whine about me in if you don't want to see me or anyone else bitching about the pandemic.Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

You sound like you have a good handle on all this stuff.
Vaccinated people are less likely to spread omicron because even though they have similar viral loads to unvaccinated/prior infected they have lower infectious viral load(non viable virus). Delta was worse than previous variants. We vaccinate for influenza every year. Younger people, under 50-60 years old benefited from vaccination. Unless your symptomatic you’re not a Covid hospitalization if you test positive. Hopefully omicron is the end of this but that’s really uncertain.
It appears that everything elaborated in the quoted post is wrong.

Dude, what "real world" are you talking about? If you're so fearful, how do you know what's really happening day to day "out there"? I've been out there, in crowded bars and airplanes and movie theaters and malls. I'm not stumbling over bodies. Life is proceeding. But the megaphones are still operated by the hypochondriacs and the introverts, and profit is being made at all the media outlets fueling the fear. You gotta get over it. There will always be killer diseases out there. I had hepatitis once from a bad meal that almost killed me. But, life went on.
