OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

Weird science. Cali has performed more tests per mil than most other states, yet has yielded the highest amount of cases and deaths.

WHO says omicron won't be last Covid variant as global cases surge by 20% in a week



KEY POINTS

• Dr. Bruce Aylward, a senior WHO official, warned high levels of transmission give the virus more opportunity to replicate and mutate, raising the risk that another variant will emerge.
• New infections have increased by 20% globally over the past week with nearly 19 million total reported cases.
• "This pandemic is nowhere near over," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus said

 

Can’t be true

 

Well, I'd think the more tests that are out there, the less deaths. Kinda why I posted the chart.

But I do get the deaths/mil argument, as well.

 

Face it, everyone's gonna get COVID, Omicron, or whatever the next strain ends up being. Once you come to that conclusion, your life becomes easier. Sure don't take cavalier risks, but when you get symptoms that don't seem right, get tested.

I had energy level, headache, and sneezy symptoms right after Christmas and posted in here that fact. I tested negative, yet continued to have those same symptoms following that. I'm convinced I received a false-negative. I was tested at a Vanderbilt clinic, so I'm assuming they correctly test. Got one of those deep cavity ones that sting pretty good.

Anyway, I feel fine now, so whatever.

 

I'd trust Vanderbilt over a home test any day.

 

I'll venture to say my life has probably been much easier than your covid on tour experience...and I still don't have it nor have to get it....that's a fairly boneheaded projection by someone who failed the first safety protocol tests....maybe take some advice from those who've avoided infection from the start and not taken risks that complicate what should have been an easy life. There are countries that have adhered to protocol that have only a few cases but everyone follows the rules. You don't come to those conclusions...they come to you via the air you breath.

 

Lesser of two evils, pally. I tested for the family's sake and spent Christmas alone.. Liberals in the bunch. Then again, I still think they (Vandy) got it wrong.

We're all gettin' it.

 

I read it as they will be shipped in 7-10 days, not arriving on your doorstep in 7-10. If you've mailed anything USPS right now you know that it is taking A LOT longer than usual to get packages. Ordered some stuff off Prime last week, the UPS shipment got to my house today, the USPS box said the 17th-25 but now it's telling me the shipment is 'delayed' ... I'm not stressing on it or anything just highly doubt these tests are getting here in a week.

 

Could be....I just got the tracking number from them and I'm not sick so there's no rush in my household but I can get tested in a few days in Eugene if I make an appointment ....

 

Badass ... I'll be happy to be wrong on this one and would hope that anything to help the general public gets fast tracked through USPS ahead of stuff like my BBQ grill lighter, golf club cover and socks!

 

I don't trust the entire process. Vanderbilt is reliant on the means by which they test, which is probably a whole lot better than that by which home tests were created. It's an imminent front.
