Mass deaths and overwhelmed hospitals now ‘history’ as worst of Covid is over
Along_the_Wire Mass deaths and overwhelmed hospitals now ‘history’ as worst of Covid is over
Literally took my top off after I read that.

Cases are exploding over this way but hospitalizations and deaths are way down. One week ago we had 794 positives in one day, our highest yet, but last year at this time we had 88 deaths in December due to Covid; this December only 5 (all unvaccinated and quite old). Genotyping lags but current estimate is 77% omicron. Going to be a busy few weeks as we weather the holiday bump but all in all, looking okay.
EDIT oh and quarantine time for asymptomatic down to five days.

Along_the_Wire yet most of continental Europe, including Germany, continue to either maintain or intensify lockdowns, despite generally plummeting cases, citing “worries over Omicron” . It makes little sense, they should be letting Omicron take over. They seem to be wilfully sticking their fingers in their ears regarding the evidence on Omicron to keep this nonsense going.
