To be honest, in real life, I am surrounded by people that just “want to move on with life”… and yet not one single person I have spoken to has been happy to have 6000 cases causing mad chaos over Christmas.

Not one.
The reasons for discontent are myriad… for example, some want furloughs cancelled, but no one actually wants to have the COVID positive flight attendant on their flight… 🤷🏻‍♀️
Some are upset they’ve been exposed to COVID19. Some are unwell. Some are diligently isolating. Some are not diligently isolating and should be, and others are annoyed about that too…

Total chaos.
Now, living in NSW, Australia, I am quite accustomed to having holidays ruined… but this Christmas really has been a cut below the rest.

If anyone wants to know what’s going on in Australia our leaders have decided to desensitise us to death, suffering, sickness and total chaos by flooding us with COVID-19.

Currently everyone is going through the horror phase. We will accept it all soon.
I know this because no matter how much horror and suffering has happened in England… we kind of just drag ourselves through the day, cursing our government… powerless to change anything.
It is now totally normal in England to go on a waiting list for something, and fully expect it will never get done.

It’s normal to book something and fully accept that it may not go ahead because another wave has turned up and no one is well enough to do the job.

So that was a largely unvaccinated population during the climb in delta cases (low positivity) and hospitalisation compared to a largely vaccinated population vs omicron (with high test positivity).
Note how the hospitalisation line is trending similar to delta. Our efforts to vaccinate have helped but it’s not mild enough to avoid disaster.

It is also a great example showing how Reff trumps apparent severity (post vaccine/infection severity) every time.
To compound the problem we have lost all control of the outbreak with regards to TTI (numbers too massive) and people are not in the habit of the TTI process anymore.

Don’t let them tell you they didn’t know.

@WHO warned them about the transmission.

What I am trying to say in this thread is not that it is inevitable that we all get omicron… but that the government have made it inevitable that we all get omicron.

Even someone with knowledge, equipment, resources will not escape.

They have made sure we will fail.
As surely as I knew the hotel quarantine was a boat with a hole in it, and I warned that we would sink before the holidays last year (delta outbreak), I know that the current settings in NSW, and frankly the whole of Australia are inadequate to stop omicron.
No, I said that wrong. I shouldn’t have said “stop omicron”, I should have said, in particular for NSW, “slow omicron down”.

@Dom_Perrottet has taken an axe to the system and smashed what there was to pieces.

It’s a very weird feeling… knowing what I know about COVID-19… and knowing that at some point, due to the fact the government are not reducing transmission, I will probably get it.
Maybe the next time I have to take my mask off for the dentist, or an X-ray. Maybe the next time someone wants to check my face for ID purposes.

Maybe someone in my household will bring it home from an unsafe workplace or school.
The total negligence of the government means that the odds are stacked against every person, and even our pets…

and I know… on a cellular level… everything this virus will do to me.

We don’t exactly know.

We have clues.

Long COVID is a complex group of symptoms, as you would expect from a multi-system disease. The data I have seen does not look specifically at apoptosis of brain cells. More the symptoms of brain fog. ->
amongst others.

Also how much neurone loss can be tolerated without any symptoms is another question.

Also the data on vaccination preventing long COVID is rapidly becoming outdated, as it was based on previous strains.
We have an estimate, that double vaccination was preventing about 50% of long COVID sequalae at 28 days.

Whether this is due to infection prevention, or attenuation of disease (or both) is still being debated.

@Anonymo56543274 Ask and ye shall receive.

Two cases. One severe, one mild.

COVID-19 chronic infection of the penis associated with erectile dysfunction, occurring many months after infection.

It is known to damage the blood vessels that are needed for erection. webmd.com/lung/news/2021…
@Anonymo56543274 Yes, you read that right. The virus was still in the tissue from the penis.

SARS2 moved in, and stayed there. Then the penis stopped working.
@Anonymo56543274 How many men are suffering ED post COVID-19?

Vaccinated, I don’t know. But the fact that it has been recorded post mild infection… possible.

If unvaccinated… loads. webmd.com/lung/news/2021…
