Pop yourself along to worldometers for deaths. As you say now its the dominant strain. If your so interested that is.

On another level it isn't the dirty farangs bringing Omicron in as 3 of the 4 are Thais and the first one was a US/Thai dual nationality person. Yeah but we’re they clean?

Omicron is filling up hospitals. Oh man, You are so so so wrong there buddy. So unbelievably wrong. 100 percent, totally wrong. No no no it is not. You are confusing delta with omicron. Delta is, most people don't even realize they have omicron. No oxygen required. Ha ha ha, every day it's getting better and better. Everyone is cautiously optimistic waiting for the full course of the symptoms to present in a large group. So far this is hardly even considered a cold. People are feeling better from aches and pains in 3 days. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sezze Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 57 minutes ago, Danderman123 said: Why are hospitalizations increasing? Huge rise in numbers . Even a 50% less virulent ( less dangerous ) can be just much worse in the short term . If you get only 2 cases and 1 goes to hospital then theres a 50% chance of going hospital but it is no problem . If you get 1000 cases and 10 need to go hospital , it is only 1% , but creates much bigger problems . Seeing the superfast spread , much faster then Delta , then you can see that the 1000 can create 10.000 in less then 2 weeks -> even safer , more problems in short term . Long term , if you can spread/slow everything down , then off course it is better . The problem is , knowing how infectious Delta is and then seeing the spread rate of Omicron , you can't control it enough to keep the hospitals working. BTW still speculating a lot , still have to wait confirmation . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
