  1. It doesn’t matter if the death cases don’t rise significantly. Because in Bulgaria you may have a day with 1000 confirmed cases and then 5000 cases, but both days have a death toll of around 150-200 people

  2. Who could have guessed?

    Next up in public learning of the most surprising things:

    0. Vaccine waning is not country-specific. It’s time since vaccination, prior infections, vaccines used and population age.
    1. In highly vaccinated countries, hospitals get overwhelmed. Large-scale boosting is required, but this takes a few months.
    2. T cells are too slow for many to protect from severe disease.
    3. Breakthrough infections have less hospitalization risk, but mostly unchanged risk for organ damage in mild cases. These risk ratios are dynamic and often counter-intuitive.
    4. There is a dose-severity relationship, and it is much more important than genetics or comorbidities.
    5. Age is much more important than comorbidities for hospital, ICU and death.
    6. Permanent damage depends much less on age than most severe outcomes.
    7. Vaccine risk reduction was measured per encounter, not per person.
    8. It is not only aerosol.
    9. It spreads by speaking mostly.
    10. Household attack rates of 10% and less for other contacts show that near-zero Covid is easy and depends on keeping superspreaders in check. No other measures are needed.

  3. New Infects, who cares?

    Germany as does Italy and Austria look now mainly at the Hospitalisation Rate and Intensiv Care Rate.

    So far nothing to worry about! Deaths are still low.

    Now is the time to care for the old, boostvaccine them and let the rest kf the pop relativly free.

  4. As was true when the UK saw rises, the only number that matters is hospitalisations and death rate.

    If Germany has them figures at a low rate then what’s the issue..? Covid is here to stay. We can’t keep getting worked up when cases rise. We should only worry of the rise actually leads to hospitalisations and deaths.
