Wide range of numbers in terms of severity may be in part due to vaccination status. Omicron is coming into a vaccinated population (unlike Delta) plus there are better early treatment options now, quite a wide range of them. Omicron supposedly is more likely to settle in the upper airways which means it might be more amenable to providing-iodine nasal rinse. That’s not gospel but certainly has some evidence for it, particularly if it’s true that Omicron is an upper airway problem.
Either way the general belief is that it’s less likely to cause severe disease than Delta.
Can’t say it enough, if you get Covid speak to your doctor about early/at home treatment options

supa I think the problem is that they are not doing enough genomic testing to know which cases are omicron and which are delta.

They are doing weird shit all over the world , cutting quarantine from 10 days to 5 if infected , WTF is that about, it’s for both delta and omicron. Surely if you’re sick you’re sick regardless of days, I understand you stop shedding after a certain amount of time but there is nothing exact about the science when it comes to this weird virus .

supa it is all about the politics and economics. With omicron being milder, they are prepared to take greater risks to open up. It is all guess work as to how it will go from here. My guess is a huge spike particularly in younger ages as people try to get back to something like normal. If the hospitalisation rate is at the low end of the estimate we could get through without too much drama.

It’s definitely all political now , I was surprised at the numbers from Scotty’s statement . Bit weird what’s going on in New York with vaccine passports, kicking young children out of restaurants because unvaccinated is a pretty low act .

Omicron appears to be infecting lower age groups (<12) as well who are less likely to be vaccinated.
One blessing with this pandemic so far is it hast been taking the children like most of the others hope that holds.

Was talking with my business partner and manager in the USA this morning , he works at camp Pendleton as a Psychologist , was actually a snipe for 22 years in the Marines. Him and his whole family have all had double doses and boosters , plus 2 weeks ago Flu vaccinations.

It looks like he caught Omicron at the base just before Xmas , went to big family lunch on Xmas day, by Monday morning everybody in the family were sick , some with fevers and chills , some with coughs/aches and pains and snotty nose...he kept repeating to me don't let them bullshit you into believing its only a mild cold........at best it's a mild Flu.......so fully vaccinated with booster didn't stop Omicron......
The big question is do the vaccinations work on Omicron, at all...we know they worked against Delta.....?????

He can’t tell you what percentage of the current cases are omicron. He can’t tell you anything with any certainty about omicron at all.

But he can confidently tell you the vaccines work perfectly.

According to Scummo :

“Only people living with confirmed coronavirus cases will be considered close contacts as the country goes through a “gear change” to deal with the surging Omicron outbreaks across most states and territories.”

The strange thing is that the chickenshits amongst us will lose their tiny minds over this . They’ll get emotional and say that Scummo is just shifting the goalposts and you can’t just arbitrarily change the definitions of a virus to alter the outcomes.

It’s strange they think this now after two years of absolutely arbitrary definitions defining the entire pandemic. Everything from a case to a hospitalisation and even a death is arbitrary.

Claiming that someone is not an accountable close contact due to a wording change is no different from claiming someone is hospitalised with covid just because they happened to visit a hospital within 28 days of a positive result on a covid test.

Numberwang.

Just wait AndyM. Anyone with a basic level of intelligence knows that hospitalisation numbers trail new infections. Give it a week and the inevitable will be happening in Queensland.
And with the exception of the mouth breathing village idiots on this site, everyone knows those hospital admissions will be heavily skewed to the unvaccinated. If I was the Queensland premier, I'd be charging the unvaxxed fuckwits for their treatment.

Dan Andrews locked Victorians in their houses for 23 hours a day during four months of winter because of 6 “cases”.

He locked 1.2 million regional Victorians in their houses for four months of winter because a local shit pond somewhere amongst those millions of healthy, innocent people might have, possibly, maybe shown a trace element of the DEATH PLAGUE.

Exact same virus. What’s changed?

Andrews needs gaoling.

people waiting all day and can't get a test
close contacts isolated for Xmas (or NY)
people just not getting on their flights
businesses opening then closing as staff are close contacts
customers cancelling as don't feel safe or want to be a close contact
people cancelling NYE
hospital cases rising when staff are exhausted
hospital staff recalled over Xmas
rules rapidly changing as each domino falls in the management chain
press conferences fixing things apparently
and the bloke who missed the birth of his firstborn as standing in a queue for a test

...is not a bit "Project Mayhem".

You can say what you want about the government, vaccines, ivermectin or anything, there’s plenty of evidence to support any theory you want.
My advice: if you get Covid whatever the strain Delta, Omicron, the original or Omega seek early treatment advice from your doctor.
Throw the kitchen sink at it as early as possible

Spanish Flu?

Fuck mate, you’re so deep in the DEATH PLAGUE fantasy that you don’t even recognise the reality when it’s shoved in front of your face.

Tens of thousands of people have your death plague and it’s less onerous than a bad flu season. Literally less people in hospital than if the equivalent number of people caught the flu. Yet still you’re holding onto your breath with fear , such is the entrenched propaganda within you.

Thanks Blowin that gave me a much needed smile, surf is flat has been for days.

Here in WA fear isn't a factor we don't have COVID the latest is looking like its contained maybe, unlike the East Coast although there is a growing apprehension on the opening in Feb.

Realistically its early to be calling where this will go as cases grow but note the NSW hospitalization rates are rising rapidly, plenty of twists and turns still to go.

Never forget the lies of the past as they inform you of the lies told today.

Lie 1 : “The vaccines prevent infection and transmission.”

Lie 2 : “No one ever claimed the vaccines prevent infection or transmission.”

Lies on top of lies. Special note that the clinical evidence of vaccine efficacy on severe illness and death also rests almost entirely on the integrity of the same vaccine producers spouting lies such as this one. Feel free to provide evidence of comprehensive clinical trials showing vaccine efficacy undertaken by someone who is not a vaccine producer.

The CEO of Pfizer claiming the vaccine reduces infection and transmission by 90%. Right there above you bloke. That wasn’t true then and it’s not true now. It was never true. It was a lie and those who say that the vaccines were never claimed to prevent Transmission and infection were lying too. You’re one of them bloke.

Got sore throat, headache thought this was the end, admitted to hospital after 24 hours was told to go home as no change in symptoms but come back if any change…no change and says it was just like a slight cold.

So the father even though being un-vaxxed and half his lungs working had the same symptoms as his fully vaxxed relatives?

yes

Yep, then my fit double vaccinated mate over east side has been absolutely flogged since Sunday and still hasn't recovered. Guessing he's got Delta though.

Some of this accounts from the past 5 days..

Sunday..
"Starting to deteriorate aye. So hard to move. Body is bonked. Thankfully no fever yet and can still taste. No appetite though…"

Monday..
"Fully can’t move. Actually reminds me of altitude sickness. All I wanna do is sleep but BPM is racing."

Tuesday..
"Super rough. So achey"

Wednesday..
"Had hectic fever last night aye. Woke in a pool of sweat shaking, ***** thought I pissed the bed"

Thursday..
"Yeah been horizontal all day. Still weighing in at 37.6°C"

"So happy to be vaxxed. Pretty fuckin’ sure I’d be in hospital if I wasn’t "

Great first hand account. Hopefully he has no long term issues.

I haven't seen any data on this but it seems likely that there are still pockets of delta around in Sydney.
