Here's a link to the document. Read it and tell me why you think Dan Dicks is qualified to interpret it for you.

At least the anti-vaxxers are doing their part to keep the growth rate down.

Well, that'll be easy to check.

you can't be that dense

I don't have the gift of seeing things that aren't there.

Why would you keep a test that can only find one thing?

Why does it emphasize "only"

Because that's all that test recognizes.

Third para --> emphasis on a test that differentiates.

So they're phasing it out and replacing it with single tests that detect multiple diseases.

That picture says the first test detected SARS-COV-2 only.

Where does it say it couldn't tell covid from influenza?

common sense

Right. Chuck it. Rely on science. And rely on statistics. Is the vaccine going to save everyone? No.

Is it going to increase your chances of surviving and freeing up healthcare resources for others? Yes.

Are there risks associated with the vaccine? Yes.

Despite that are your chances - and those of the vulnerable around you - better, statistically, if you get vaccinated? Yes.

The sooner we take the plunge and get vaccinated then the sooner we can get people and businesses back to work, paying their rent/mortgages, employing people, and kick-starting our economy.

Look at the stats: it's the unvaccinated that are getting sick and dying. And as crappy as that is there's more: it's the unvaccinated that are providing the fertile ground for new variants to appear. As long as a sizable proportion of the population is breeding new variants, that's how long the chance of the situation getting worse survives.

That's kinda normal

Your definition of 'normal' is incorrect. Hospital ICUs and body storage facilities are funded to handle 'normal'. ICUs that have to ship people to other facilties because they're full are not normal. Hospital morgues that have to rent multiple refrigerated trailers to handle the extra bodies are not normal. People who need cancer surgery/treatment but can't get it because their care facility is full of covid victims are not experiencing normal healthcare.

These conditions have been widely reported and I know it's true not because it's in the press but because people I know and trust who work in healthcare are telling me that it has happened to them at their workplace, and to their colleagues at other facilities.

What are you basing your opinions on? Your common sense, that thing that tells you the sun goes around the earth? The one person in a thousand or ten thousand who has some kind of medical training (invariably unrelated to public health or infectious diseases) who tried to monetize their social media channel? Performers like Alex Jones or Tucker Carlson?

Stop reading the news

I get my info from the nurses I know. They themselves, the people they trained with, former colleagues who have moved on - all together they make up a nation-wide network. There's never been a time in the last year that some part of that network hasn't been slammed.

I always wondered why it didn't mutate much more often. Like we wouldn't be on Delta, we'd have seen many more variants.

There were lots of variants, most of them not particularly transmissible or deadly. They only gave names like 'Delta' to "variants of concern' - the ones that were more of a threat.

Real trustworthy source there.

I'm missing your point. You'll have to spell it out for me.

So that's 95% of an unknown number

You're confusing (deliberately?) 'hospitalizations' with 'deaths'. 8,787 is not an unknown number.

Notice the hardest hit areas are those countries with populist movements.

Do you mean the areas where vaccine uptake is low?

tuchodi -3 points ago +1 / -4

The delta variant started spreading very quickly after the vaccines

Those were the variants of concern. The first variants showed up earlier. They were feeble and didn't get any press. Viruses mutate constantly. That's why the flu vaccine is different every year.

You're looking so closely at the elephant you can't see that it's about to sit on you. Ignore that at your peril, and everyone around you who is vulnerable.

"Delta variant is one of the most infectious respiratory diseases known

The delta Covid variant is one of the most infectious respiratory diseases seen by experts.

Currently, the more infectious strain makes up more than 83% of sequenced cases in the U.S.

97% of people admitted to hospitals with Covid symptoms are unvaccinated."

Or you could look at the stats that say it's the unvaccinated that are dying now. For example: "Texas has seen nearly 9,000 COVID-19 deaths since February. All but 43 were unvaccinated people."

All the quoted article is saying is that the death rate is lower compared to the previous five years,

They're giving it to old people because their chances of staying alive and out of the hospital are better. They've given almost 4 billion shots. They have the statistics.

That's some real Russian Troll Factory baloney right there. It fails to mention that the report says the deaths are from all causes, and are lower than the 8,718 that could have been expected.

"Using the 5-year average monthly death rate (by age band and gender) from 2015 to 2019 for comparison, 8,718 deaths would have been expected among the vaccinated population within 28 days of receiving their COVID-19 vaccination.

This means the observed number of deaths is lower than expected compared with mortality rates for the same time period in previous years."

Not sure what you're saying about the critters they found. They were found in the mask.

Where would they be if there was no mask? In the lungs if they were going in, so the mask stopped them?

Or they came from inside and the mask stopped them on the way out? If so it's not the fault of the mask they were in there.

how does a paper like that even get peer reviewed and accepted

My guess is that nothing's perfect, including the peer review process.

The human body is mostly not human. It's not surprising they found critters in masks. They're everywhere in and around us.

"The human body contains about 100 trillion cells, but only maybe one in 10 of those cells is actually — human. The rest are from bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms."
