CV and mad panic behaviour

[northernblue]

I got my second and final covid shot earlier today (Pfizer). Supposedly the next day is when you start feeling side effects, so I'll post back in the next day or two.

I just want it be said, should the worst be the worst Paul, we love you ??

The article mainly focusses on the UK, but no doubt has information for everyone.

Oh, and 48 hours after my final jab, no issues or adverse side effects.

Yes, it exposes the hoax that is contained in the "COVID is just the Flu" messaging propagated by the Anti-Vaxx / Anti-Lockdown movement.

As a keen F1 fan I'm somewhat saddened by the pending suspension of the GP, but when you see what is happening in NSW at the moment, then even worse what is happening in Malaysia and Indonesia as countries F1 attendees might transit, it's disheartening but understandable.

Of course this is not just about us here, it's about what teams and media must do to get here, there is a massive difference between quarantine and compliance for a 1hr Inter-EU flight versus a 12hr - 14hr International travel leg.

The high R[sub]0[/sub] value of the Delta variant makes the next few months even more difficult.

The article mainly focusses on the UK, but no doubt has information for everyone.

What the article fails to mention - or discuss - is that, irrespective of the rate of reproduction (which events both in the UK and here would throw in doubt as to how infectious is actually is), the rates of hospitalisations and deaths are negligible.

Their nice little chart leaves out some key data - here it is, direct from the NHS.

Cases are cases. Clearly the virulence of the Indian strain is remarkably low - as virology 101 would suggest from first principles.

The Delta hype is simply that.

For most age demographics this virus is far less virulent than a normal season flu.
