Broward County and CV19
Agreed. No matter what happens this wave will be quick, it just remains to be seen how disruptive it will be in that time frame. Keeping my fingers crossed, but I think the next few weeks will be rough. -
Broward County and CV19
Yeah, this variant is looking to be more mild than delta, and the vast majority of people will be fine. The problem is going to be the potential impact at the population level. The denominator (ie cases) for this wave is going to be WAY higher than at any other point in the pandemic, so even... -
Broward County and CV19
The % positivity rate has increased significantly, suggesting that it is not the number of tests that is causing the rise. -
Is it time to go back to normal?
There is data out there that the mitigation efforts are effective, but it's more of turning a dial rather than an on/off switch. Look at the curves back in March 2020-May 2020 when the mitigation efforts were at their strictest. The problem now is that the pandemic has changed with delta and... -
C19 numbers are rising...
New cases in Johnson County are at the highest rate that they have been for the entire pandemic. The combination of omicron, cold weather, and the recent holidays are a bad combination. The % positive rate for tests run at UIHC has been > 40% over the past few days. I would not be surprised... -

A growing body of preliminary research suggests the Covid vaccines used in most of the world offer almost no defense against becoming infected...
Did you read the article? The two vaccines that have shown to be effective against Omicron, when boosted, are the two most commonly used here in the US. -
How are you dealing with unvaccinated family members during holiday gatherings?
I disagree, I think it is the 800,000 dead Americans and countless more with prolonged symptoms that are leading to the fear. After you've seen what this virus can do a time or two, you gain a healthy respect for it. While the majority of people don't have severe disease, it has killed a lot... -
How are you dealing with unvaccinated family members during holiday gatherings?
It's funny that they give the number of vaccinated people in a percentage but the number of boosted people in absolute numbers. It looks like the population of Netherlands is about 17.5 million, so they could've just said that <10% of the population has been 'boosted'. Also, they are currently... -
How are you dealing with unvaccinated family members during holiday gatherings?
I am not the poster you are responding to, but here are my unsolicited thoughts. Stronger messaging on effective mitigation strategies and more clear messaging in general. Focus on improving ventilation, improving access to high-quality masks, and making rapid home testing more affordable and... -
How are you dealing with unvaccinated family members during holiday gatherings?
As per most COVID threads these days, this was a painful read. Here are some widely accepted views on the COVID vaccine as well as a few of my thoughts: 1. COVID vaccines decrease risk of transmission in two ways. First, they decrease the risk of getting COVID in the first place. If you... -

Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine was 100% effective in kids in longer-term study
Correct, but for most of 2020 we closed schools, stopped sports, and stayed at home. 2021 has been a different story, and as I said above, it is looking like it will be the 5th leading cause of death for kids under 18, behind motor vehicle accidents, firearms, drowning, and heart disease. The... -
Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine was 100% effective in kids in longer-term study
Yeah, but my counter to that would be that we also don't know the long-term risks of getting COVID. In general, I am not aware of any vaccines that have significant long-term risks. However, we know COVID itself can produce an immune response that lingers causing so-called 'long COVID'...
