COVID-19 Health System Overload Forecaster
Supafreak wrote:Indo said “When we are talking about Covid now, we are generally now talking about Omicron, because it's already the most dominant form of Covid in Australia and most of the world, in a few weeks to months time Delta will become almost irrelevant just like Wuhan strain is. “. ………….,Yet the small Pfizer trials for 5 to 11 year olds aren’t based on the omicron varient .
So what happens with the kids if current Pfizer vaccine is not as effective against omicron with just 2 doses ? Do we just give them another booster ?
How does the risk and benefit stack up with omicron being less virulent ? Or are we still going on the trial varient ?
Exactly the whole Covid vaccine for kids before Omicron was very iffy seeing they were such a low risk group.
But obviously Omicron has totally changed the game, as we know it is much milder with up to 80% less chance of hospitalisation in all ages, logic would then mean in children the chance of serious illness or death has gone from extremely low to extremely rare.
Then you had the argument that vaccinating kids would help prevent Covid spreading, well two doses definitely havent prevented Omicron spreading in above 12 year olds, so id love an update on this for kids.
Personally i will only vaccinate my children for Covid if i really have too basically if we have no choice, but have also ensured my parents get boosters, cause it's all about weighing up risk and looking at the benefits versus unknowns etc.

High vax rates saved thousands upon thousands of lives during Delta, and nobody knows where we will be in 6 months time.
Stopping vaccines or not boosting based on the current wave could well have lethal consequences for the next variety.
I'm getting boosted in three days because nobody knows what will happen in the next few months and I'd much rather have an imperfect vaccine rather than no protection at all.
Remember that time you finally pulled a root when you were 19 and used the out of date franger you bought when you were 13? Well it's the same situation, Best use something that isn't perfect rather than go bare back champ.You mean the one you had to pay for lol
Not sure where this post from VL came from and what it is in reply too, as i NEVER suggested not getting vaccinated???
Kind of like i said above at the end of my post, its about risk management and weighing up risk v reward etc.
Children under 12, makes very little sense to vaccinate seeing their risk is almost non existent in reality the unknowns from vaccines could be higher than any benefit.
At the other end of the scale old people, obese, those with health issues, its a no brainer to get vaccinated and get your booster regularly, because they are high risk groups even with Omicron.
For all age groups in between it's about weighing up the risk vs benefit, if your an eighteen fit and healthy your risk is low, while even if fit and healthy at 50 you will be at higher risk.
End of the day though, it should be a personal choice and people shouldn't be demonised for their choice be it getting vaxed or not vaxed.
Personally im double vaxed, havent got Omicron yet but lots of people i know have, to be honest id rather get it now then latter and get an added boost of natural immunity and then maybe get a boaster shot if need latter in May a month before i go to Indo, as dont want to be sick over there.
But that said i dont know if im real keen on getting boosters all the time, if i do it might be a thing i do before Indo trips rather than every 3 months or something crazy.
BTW. i got my first root at 17 and the franger was pretty fresh, my two best mates were to scared to go in and buy them from the chemist so they went half's and i went in and bought them, then we split them 3 ways.
Things sure are different in India ………. Indiana’s General Assembly introduced a bill to support increased patient access to ivermectin for off-label treatment of SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19.
Bill provides access to Ivermectin, protects vaccine mandate exemptions
Indiana House Bill 1372 would enable health providers to prescribe ivermectin for the treatment of coronavirus and prohibit bans of the medication. The bill would also prevent the Medical Licensing Board of Indiana, the Indiana State Board of Nursing, and the Indiana Board of Pharmacy from sanctioning doctors for prescribing ivermectin.
The 2022 bill also prohibits employers in Indiana from enforcing vaccine mandates if a person rejects vaccination against COVID for religious or health reasons. https://legiscan.com/IN/bill/HB1372/2022

Mate just because the country is 90% + fully vaxxed (whatever the fuck that means anymore) does not mean they wanted the jab.

Google search “Myocarditis death rate in children”
The mortality rate is as high as 50 percent to 70 percent. When this is the case, there is a high risk of sudden death and some children may need a heart transplant urgently. This severity of disease is rare and therefore represents a very small number of children.
Anyone that lines up with their kid, knowing they will not be seriously sick if they catch this virus, and knowing that it does not stop transmission should be reported to DOCS for child abuse.
You’re all in a cult run by fear and propaganda

A little dose of reality for the idiot collective.
"As for denial of the risk in children, the majority of vaccine-preventable diseases that we vaccinate children against are mild in most children. Only a small percentage suffer serious complications. Polio and measles are examples where well over 90 per cent of children who become infected do not have severe complications, but in a small percentage there are serious and potentially fatal complications. SARS-CoV-2 is similar. Other than long Covid and multisystem inflammatory syndrome, we are only now learning about other longer-term complications of infection. For instance, there is more than double the risk of developing diabetes in children following Covid-19. A study from the United States showed the virus persisting in the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys and almost every other organ after the initial infection. A rare brain inflammation has been described in adults and children. Another study found a significant drop in cognitive function and IQ in survivors. The virus directly kills heart muscle. It is too early to know if Covid-19 will result in early onset dementia or heart failure in a decade’s time, but the evidence warrants a precautionary approach. We know some infections have very long-term complications – measles, for example, can cause a rare and fatal encephalitis about 10 years after the initial infection. We should do everything possible to prevent mass infection of children and adults."

Whilst I’m not an anti vaxxer and I agree with your post what I don’t understand is how do we stop all of the above from Covid when the vaccine doesn’t stop you getting covid? Are we to live in a bubble for the rest of our lives?
It does stop people getting Covid though. It also prevents serious illness in people who do get Covid despite being vaxxed thus keeping them out of the hospitals thereby helping to prevent overload/collapse of the health system. People get back to work quicker. Supply chains suffer less interruption etc etc etc. What is so hard to understand about any of that?

Hahahahahahaha
don, we are in the middle of a pandemic and the end point depends on our ability to achieve elimination of the virus in Australia which is the technical term for breaking on-going community transmission. This is not complete eradication but means outbreaks are idenitified and controlled quickly. The collpase of our test, trace, quarantine procedures in the face of omicron has set us back a long way. Better vaccines will be essential but re-thinking and re-designing indoor spaces will also have a role to play and we urgently need to upgrade our ttq systems to take advantage of the decrease in cases as this wave recedes.
Read the whole article for a better assessment.
The djokovic saga is essential a Scumo-created sideshow to distract the general public from one of the greatest policy failures in Australia's history. Yes, it's even more pathetic than his vaccine stroll out.
Scumo, Perrottet and Gladys essentially introduced a let it rip covid policy without adequately planning for the consequences. We now have a crumbling hospital system, no track and trace system, fuck all RATs, and supply chain issues ensuring supermarket shelves aren't getting re-stocked.
We have a situation where essential workers can't get back to work because Scumo didn't order enough RATs, but of course his Hillsong mates managed to get thousands so they could hold a summer youth camp / music festival.
The scumbag PM is now commandeering RAT supplies from private companies and organisations with the foresight to get their own. eg Queensland Rail just had their 20,000 test redirected by the Fed Govt. Scumo gets to hand out the tests others ordered. What a complete fuckwit.
It truly is a shitshow, but hey let's all talk about Novax the idiot Serb.

Vic and Blindboy, what’s your take on the NCCET early treatment recommendations (https://covid19evidence.net.au/wp-content/uploads/FLOWCHART-12-DMT-FOR-A...) vs the other potential treatment options, the evidence summarised here https://c19early.com/?
Do you think some of those may, along with vaccines, be useful in helping us fight Covid?
Or have the NCCET got it right in only recommending budesonide and mono-clonal ab’s?
VicLocal do you think this is another policy failure or has ScoMo got this one right?

They don't only recommend budesonide and mono-clonal ab's you idiot.
Here's the full list. Do try and keep up tylerdurdan.
Budesonide for adults
Budesonide for children and adolescents
Casirivimab plus imdevimab (Ronapreve/REGEN-COV) for adults
Casirivimab plus imdevimab (Ronapreve/REGEN-COV) for pregnant or breastfeeding women
Casirivimab plus imdevimab (Ronapreve/REGEN-COV) for children and adolescents
Systemic corticosteroids
Corticosteroids for adults
Corticosteroids for pregnant or breastfeeding women
Corticosteroids for children or adolescents
Other immunomodulating drugs
Baracitinib
Sarilumab
Tocilizumab
Sotrovimab
Sotrovimab for adults
Sotrovimab for pregnant women
Sotrovimab for children and adolescents
Remdesivir
Remdesivir for adults
Remdesivir for pregnant or breastfeeding women
Remdesivir for children or adolescents

My original post on the previous page specifically said “early” treatment.
For mild and moderate disease the NCCET only recommend budesonide and monoclonals.
Once you need oxygen they recommend Dex, Remdesivir etc
Glad you acknowledge you agree with ScoMo on this one.
From now on you can perhaps put in a disclaimer:

Crap scare mongering article and typical of the Saturday Paper.
Omicron has changed the whole game, any previous studies are outdated what was the case with Wuhan and Delta isn't necessarily the case with Omicron.
And this
"Denial of Omicron being serious suits an exhausted community who just wish life could go back to 2019. Omicron may be half as deadly as Delta, but Delta was twice as deadly as the 2020 virus. "
It's not denial its backed by stats and science, to suggest Wuhan & Omicron are similar in seriousness is irresponsible and just not true.
Wuhan=Tom Curren
Delta=Kelly Slater
Omicron= The best surfer at your local
Other Common Coronavirus= All us other kooks.
And yes we all want to go back to living like 2019, thats the aim
And she advise the WHO?...scary.

Forgot the disclaimer when you criticise ScoMo Vic Local
“A colossal failure of policy by ScoMo except in regards to early treatment whereby he has got it spot on”
To compare omicron to lets say delta, u need identical societal petrie dishes. We aren't dointhat. When delta hit, our vaccination rate was incredibly low. Now as Omicron runs rampant, our vaccination rate is OVER 90%. You simply can't compare the 2. Its sloppy media reporting AND sloppy science . Find a region of the world that has a lov vax rate (similar to ours during delta) with a similar population density and is currently experiencing an omicron wave. Then compare that to our stats during delta.
Otherwise it's bullshit
Mexico, Indonesia Sheepdog?
Similar Vax rates but much higher population and density.
Czech Republic maybe?
I’ll bet on his vegetables :)
