Coronavirus (COVID-19 Outbreak) (18 Viewers)

[JuveJay]

There are asymptomatic cases, triple/quadruple vaxxed are still getting Omicron.

So far humans don't have a permanent immune protection against infections vs the other coronaviruses. Almost certainly this will be the case with Covid-19. Everybody will get infected from time to time.

We're lucky to have a variant like Omicron that makes the transition from pandemic phase to endemic far less painful.

Having restrictions vs Omicron is like having restrictions vs cold or the common flu. It's not a good idea.

I don't share your confidence or optimism.

According to Our World in Data

https://ourworldindata.org/explorer...ity=false&country=USA~GBR~CAN~DEU~ITA~IND~NLD

36% of cases in the Netherlands are Delta. It's from 10th of January, so there is a good chance that right now Omicron is dominating.

I really hope you'll get well ASAP.

Edit

They just updated it - as of 21st of January - 89 percent Omicron and 11 percent Delta.

 

[Gian]

Yeah, a local newspaper came out earlier reporting that the large majority (>90%) of all cases in Amsterdam are due to Omicron.

I'm from Holland aswel. Not a single person in the hospital is there because of omicron.

That said. I know dozens of people who got infected on purpose so they could go on holiday this winter. This virus has become a laughable thing. No one I know takes anything seriously, because when you'll get infected the complaints are less than a hangover.

My 94 year old grandma has tested positive and is complaining that she can't get any visitors..

 

[IliveForJuve]

Good for your grandma.

 

[petersmit]

My point being that this virus is bullshit and they should just let us return to normal. Ffs we still have empty football stadiums in holland

According to Zoe tracking data app persistent cough is not in the top 5 common symptoms for Omicron. It's 6th placed with 43% of people reporting it.
Most common are

1. runny nose -74%
2. headache - 67%
3. fatigue - 64%
4. sore throat - 62%
5. sneezing - 62%


I hope it's Omicron and you'll be much better tomorrow

I had a sore throat Wednesday evening, woke up on Thursday still there. I took the test but still haven't got the result. Thursday evening I got body ache, felt like feber but I wasn't even close to being warm. Friday all day, all evening sore throat and fever like feeling. Saturday morning, sore throat is still there, the fever feeling is oscillating.
Headache only Friday
And I still haven't got the test results

Yesterday I got a headache the whole day, runny nose and sneezing, oscillating feverish feeling but no fever. I have body aches almost all the time because I do physical training. Today I'm fine. I live in a country where Omicron is 90+ % of the cases and I'm too lazy to test.

You don't have at home test kits? While the results of that are not conclusive, it's better than nothing.

And you shouldn't because fuck them. It's a silly flu.

same in italy. the 5k limit is a terrible joke, it only helps smaller clubs (ffs iirc venezia have a 9k stadium, 5k is over their 50% so the latest restrictions are actually some reliefs for them), while clubs who could fill their stadiums are bled to dry.

btw it looks like we got omicron. my son had some high fever yesterday (39.4 celsius) and couldn't get up. now he's fine after a day of sickness.

Might as well change the thread title to Common Cold now.

Not exactly imo. The current Omikron-variant might be more flu-ish but lets not forget the hospitals were full with the Alpha, Beta and Delta-variants. If we were to have the same numbers of infections with these previous variants it would had been crisis across all hospitals.

Considering this virus mutates we could well have a new mutant that is just as terrible as the previous variants.

Omicron was in England and Scotland at the same time. England didn't impose new measures and Scotland did and even had a lockdown. The rate of spread was faster in Scotland... Even if you want to stop it - you can't.

No I don't and I am not in a hurry to know
