Meet the COVID Delta variant

[wrbtrader]

So comorbidities includes overweight. Tom Brady is clinically overweight. More than half of Americans have a “comorbidity.”

You’d be hard pressed to find an adult over 35 without a comorbidity.

In fact, 1/3 of Americans think they're healthy...they actually have an underlying medical condition that they're not aware of.

Simply, that's about 1/3 of the American population that are at high risk to Covid.

Currently, the United States has about 328 million people. Do the math and it's why many hospitals fear the growing surge of Covid Delta Variant hospitalizations because it's targeting that population that has a large portion of those that believe in error that they're healthy.

Here's current (today's) Covid Hospitalization here in Québec, Canada.

My girlfriend is an ICU nurse and most in the Covid ICU are younger than 49 and a few are teenagers. She has access to real-time data of all the hospitals just in case they need to transport a patient to another hospital...

• Those hospitals have similar data...most are younger than 49 with some of the patients being teenagers.

I don't know about Pediatric Hospitals because the websites that published the weekly statistics have stated that Quebec health agency has stopped publishing the data about children's Covid hospitalization from Covid and RSV.

I find it sad that the fear mongers and liars refuse to understand the difference between high risk and low risk as defined and explained by the CDC.

Data shown by the hospitals should not be ignored. Yet, they know that some people that graphs / pictures of the data is easier to absorb by those with their head up their ass.

• A picture is worth a dozen words

Missippi Covid Hospitalizations Vaccinated versus Not Vaccinated

I will not post the Pediatric hospitalizations in Missippi...just too damn scary because some here act like they can not handle the truth or are too scared to see the truth.

Regardless, the Covid graphs clearly show who is the high-risk group...those that are Not Vaccinated. Look at the 3rd graph below...100% of those Covid Hospitalized below the age of 39 years of age...every single one of them are Not Vaccinated.

• Reminder again, 1/3 of Americans do not know they have an underlying medical condition...they think they're healthy.

It's similar with other southern states in the United States as I've shown in the Covid Hospitalization data of those other states. That's not a pattern any society wants to see...the high-risk group are the younger adults and children.

September 2nd 2021

The asswipes are the ones that demand to see the data. Then when you show them the data...they get scared and call it fear-mongering instead of just admitting to the truth about the data they requested...

They are people with their heads in their asses.

Israel’s Covid Surge Shows the World What’s Coming Next

(Bloomberg) -- Israel, once a front-runner in the global race to move on from Covid-19, is now one of the world’s biggest pandemic hot spots.

The country that was once predicted to be the first to vaccinate its entire population had the highest per-capita caseload of anywhere in the week through Sept. 4, according to figures compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Its world-beating inoculation rate, meanwhile, has tumbled down the league table.

Israel Data States -

That said, unvaccinated people account for more than 10 times as many serious cases as those who have received two doses, showing that even with immunity waning, shots are providing protection.

----------

See earlier graphs that I posted about Israel involving their Covid Hospitalizations...those vaccinated versus those not vaccinated.

• Quick summary - You do not want to be not vaccinated in Israel.

Simply, I'm not worried about the efficacy of the vaccines to prevent infection. Instead, I'm more worried about the effectiveness of the vaccines to prevent hospitalization, ICU admission and deaths.

The rest of the article is interesting -- including that the failure to vaccinate beyond 61% of its population is due to vaccination resistance from Orthodox Jews and Arabs in the population. This, coupled with re-opening, undermined the entire Covid effort in Israel.

The booster shots are helping the elderly and immune suppressed in their population. But effectively IMO Israel was sitting on a large pile of Pfizer doses that were going to expire and they had to go somewhere -- seeing the uptake from Orthodox Jews and Arabs was low. Hence the push for boosters given to 28% of Israel's population.

This is actually a pretty good read if you read the whole article. Very informative. Thanks.

Right. And the part about vaccinations while waning antibodies still show protection against severe illness. That’s T and B cell protection. The indication there would be additional shots should increase protection in T and B, similar to the shingles shots.
