    Did Putin cure Covid? Ever since the Russians had been assembling along Ukraine and since then I haven’t heard a thing about Covid on the news. Also haven’t seen Fauchi s mug on the TV.

    No, it wasn't cured. The level of hysteria about it declined.

    Wait a minute or better wait a century!

    I'm fighting this war against Covid since the beginning and honestly real operators [not fake internet operators] don't like to see on the net "experts" sustaining this or that.

    First point: no country has "cured" Covid.
    SARS-Cov2 is circulating all around the world [in South Korea it's going wild, just to say].
    We can cure it, now we've got suitable protocols, but doesn't mean that Covid is no more socially dangerous.
    On the contrary: the section of population who refuses the vaccine is a problem.

    Perhaps. With government providing the statistics I would say the number is hugely inflated. Most of these deaths weren't necessarily caused by covid. They occurred to someone who tested positive for covid. This was a very bad flu but nowhere near as deadly as the hysteria produces.

    You didn’t detect any sarcasm in my post? The few followers of cnn left would know that.

    Massachusetts has been about the only US state to consistently report hospitalization rates for Covid based on vaccination status. Today, 77% of residents are fully vaccinated. Today 61% of patients hospitalized FOR Covid in Massachusetts were fully vaccinated when they contracted Covid.

    Perhaps it’s time to use a systems approach to solving this problem. There are other mitigations as effective as vaccination for the unvaccinated that used in conjunction with vaccination make vaccination more efficacious.

    This is a life’s disease, not a disease of the unvaccinated. It’s time to accept that.

    1. Omicron wave has subsided however there is a “variant of concern” in NSW they are tracking
    2. New antivirals are reducing strain on hospitals
    3. Worldwide we are moving to endemic control from pandemic
    4. Putin at the moment is the bigger threat

    How sick were those patients?
    What we saw here was that the hospitalisation rate to icu admission rate fell from approx 1:4 pre vaccination to 1:11 post vaccination although that is mixed stats with some vaccinated and some unvaccinated

    No but if the BA.2 substrain breaks out in the US, you can bet Uncle Joe gonna have you in masks again.

    The number of new infections per day for the US has dropped from 800,000 per day to less than 40,000.

    The vaccine works. No surprise.

    Most places have dropped the mask mandates.

    So Americans aren't going to die now that Biden and the media are pretending covid is gone?... Or is that why they changed how covid is recorded?

    The vaccine works. That is why we wanted a vaccine. It stops people from dying.

    See how that works!

    No, we had the largest outbreak after they nearly got as many people vaccinated who will.
    Omicron going through like wildfire and changes to testing is what reduced rates.

    No it doesn't. It's not an Omicron vaccine.

    Sick enough to be hospitalized FOR Covid, not with Covid. That’s what makes Massachusetts reporting unique.

    It’s a fact vaccination reduces severe Covid and even prevents some infections. But it doesn’t prevent enough of either.

    It’s time to accept the fact Covid is a lifestyle disease vaccination can’t mitigate on it’s own. It’s time to educate individuals on how to protect themselves as Covid moves into the endemic phase. We can save a lot of lives if we can accept ALL proven mitigations and implement them as far as possible. It’s time to admit the one trick pony approach is costing lives, health, and resources of healthcare facilities. We need to do better.

    Pushing vaccination alone to mitigate Covid is as silly as saying we shouldn’t do anything (including vaccination) because 96-99% of unvaccinated infected individuals don’t need hospitalization at all.

    I NEVER post BS. Ever. Only verifiable facts.

    Your link involves data of patients hospitalized WITH Covid , not FOR Covid. This is a common mistake people like you that have no understanding of epidemiology make.

    I use Massachusetts Department of Public Health data on hospitalizations FOR Covid. You are as always welcome to show that the Massachusetts Department of Health is BS. Go for it …..

    Please, just once try and SHOW I’ve posted BS, not just make demonstrably false accusations based on your unsubstantiated uninformed opinions. Go….

    What makes you think our stats are not the same? This was NSW and Victorian data from the national database remembering Australia has a UHC Administered by the states. We cancelled routine surgeries or farmed them to private hospitals during the peak and started extensive networks of “Hospital in the Home” using remote monitoring equipment. Plus the change I was talking of was shown during the vaccine rollout. We saw an absolute fall in ICU admissions

    What rubbish are you talking about? If Biden wanted to look better on COVID he would have changed how it was recorded soon as he got into office

    LOL.

    What I detect is a thread that actually has no business being in a serious forum.

    You mean anyone actually still watches CNN?

    Surely it must only be for the entertainment value alone.
