Interesting thread on the early days of Omicron.
Currently most affecting the young, so, not surprisingly less severe outcomes at.
Tshwane
- 80% of admissions = people< 50 (this is also the case across Gauteng province)
- 19% = children aged 0-9
- 28% = 30-39 years

Hard to put a lot of weight on vaccination status without bigger numbers given the age groups most affected are also least vaccinated. Is this BECAUSE they are not vaccinated or because they represent the majority of the pop in these age groups.
Time will tell esp as older (& more vaccinated) ages more affected
1. Most #COVID19 patients didn't know they had COVID when they got admitted (admitted for another condition)
2. A smaller % of patients required oxygen than in previous waves

3. Admitted patients were younger than in previous waves
4. We need more data - and across more age groups and vaccination status.
It will come.
If double jabbed hold up in older age groups reason to have extra confidence still in booster

The very very marked up rush of admissions coinciding with the very very marked uprush in cases seems to me to be highly unlikely to be unrelated, even if Covid was not recognised until admission.
More explanation needed.
