With Covid the death probably once on a ventilator is higher then 50/50.
I was quoted 50% tonight but they are not stats I'm 100% confident on.
That was the old strain. The new strain is more stubben
dont think that's right.
Pretty sure its more contagious, but less deadly.
What do you base that on? Any data references?
yeah but its late and I have had a rough day. will post it in the morning if that's ok. It is out there. believe it was a UK study (published) that says that.
the challenge is either way it overwhelms health care systems. will tag you when I find it

why is it easier to Google than use outlook? I blame apple
Thanks for posting. I dont believe (but would welcome you correcting me) that those articles show what you have said, that the Delta is more contagious but less deadly. In fact the FT articles explains why it doesnt, that because they have such high vaccination rates and no opportunity for a control group, you cant run a randomised trial and therefore cant show whether the Delta is less deadly or whether the vaccine prevents hospitalisation and deaths.
In fact that FT makes a few confusing statements that I think are either misleading or wrong. For one, it states that the vaccines are between 92-96% effective for preventing hospitalisation. The original variant, with no vaccine had a hospitalisation rate of about 10%. Does that mean that tap water or sunlight is 90% effective at preventing hospitalisation?
fair first par mate. second is not right - that's my point. there is a lancet article on it somewhere. Your tap water comment is concerning.
What is concerning about my tap water comment?
Also, why is my second par wrong? The article says that the vaccines are 92-96% effective for preventing hospitalisations, but without vaccine 90% dont get hospitalised?
The problem is our hospital systems cant cope with mass ICU patients. confusing statements and all.
Of course, but in the UK this is not happening because the hospitalisation rate is low,
I know the govt is diverting funds from BAU medical support to fund a COVID response, there is not additional money. Its a big lie that we are ready at the moment. people die because of fund redirection
What is BAU medical support?
lol mate. You shouldn't need me to define that should you?
They have a set allocation per hospital in NSW. Funds get stripped from existing programs to pay forCOVID. There is no extra coin. articles out there in main stream and non main stream media
Yeah or you could have just answered the questions.
Against my better judgment I engaged with you again. Lesson learned.
Me too. I should have listened warnings from others
you seem like the type that needs direction from others. Myself, not so much
You seem to value self importance, keep telling yourself you are a champion.
Im an evidence based kinda guy mate....no "seem to" for me.
proof point right there. go look in the mirror. of course that will just confirm your view.
haha
Please, look in the mirror? The adults are talking here.....
mate step away from the mirror.I dont want to be part of your dreamworld
