our death rate still too high for an 'endemic' virus. hopefully in a few months the weekly toll would be less than 5. flu is less than 1 a week.

Covee done. Rowley eat enough pandemic food. Z(15).jpg

And the dotish MC announce he going to violate the protocols/regulations too!

Omicron give most everybody immunity, so no need to worry much bout covee again. It protected.

If u go to a grocery, u have no reason to fear traveling abroad

Omicron immunity doesn't necessarily mean you're protected from future variants. Keep that in mind.

general population better protected than that 'vax' they sell people dreams on. the natural spread, meant most people done have it already. the population is as protected as its gonna get. prolly better than if they mandatory jabbed every single human in the islands.

by next week, what ever excess spread u woudl have gotten from carnival and carnival activities would ease up, u would remain with the normal base line spread.

A covid surge in Western Europe has U.S. bracing for another wave

Germany, a nation of 83 million people, saw more than 250,000 new cases and 249 deaths Friday, when Health Minister Karl Lauterbach called the nation’s situation “critical.” The country is allowing most coronavirus restrictions to end Sunday, despite the increase. The United Kingdom had a seven-day average of 65,894 cases and 79 deaths as of Sunday, according to the Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Research Center. The Netherlands, home to fewer than 18 million people, was averaging more than 60,000 cases the same day.

In all, about a dozen nations are seeing spikes in coronavirus infections caused by BA.2, a cousin of the BA.1 form of the virus that tore through the United States over the past three months.

In the past two years, a widespread outbreak like the one now being seen in Europe has been followed by a similar surge in the United States some weeks later. Many, but not all, experts interviewed for this story predicted that is likely to happen. China and Hong Kong, on the other hand, are experiencing rapid and severe outbreaks, but the strict “zero covid” policies they have enforced make them less similar to the United States than Western Europe.

A number of variables — including relaxed precautions against viral transmission, vaccination rates, the availability of antiviral medications and natural immunity acquired by previous infection — may affect the course of any surge in the United States, experts said.

Most importantly, it is unclear at this point how many people will become severely ill, stressing hospitals and the health-care system as BA.1 did.

Another surge also may test the public’s appetite for returning to widespread mask-wearing, mandates and other measures that many have eagerly abandoned as the latest surge fades and spring approaches, experts said.

“It’s picking up steam. It’s across at least 12 countries … from Finland to Greece,” said Eric Topol, director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute in San Diego, who recently posted charts of the outbreak on Twitter. “There’s no question there’s a significant wave there.”

Topol noted that hospitalizations for covid-19, the disease caused by the virus, are rising in some places as well, despite the superior vaccination rates of many Western European countries.

At a briefing Monday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said about 35,000 cases of BA.2 have been reported in the United States to date. But she offered confidence that “the tools we have — including mRNA vaccines, therapeutics and tests — are all effective tools against the virus. And we know because it’s been in the country.”

Kristen Nordlund, a spokeswoman for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in an email Tuesday that “although the BA.2 variant has increased in the United States over the past several weeks, it is not the dominant variant, and we are not seeing an increase in the severity of disease.” CDC data show that, as of last week, BA.2 comprised 23.1 percent of all new coronavirus infections in the U.S., the largest percentage yet — up from 13.7 percent the week before. But BA.2 accounted for more than 38 percent of cases last week in parts of the Northeast and New England.

The Far East doesn't seem to be doing to well

South Korea reported record daily Covid infections and record deaths caused by the virus, as the country which once took an aggressive anti-pandemic approach is set to end Covid restrictions. On Thursday, authorities said 621,328 new daily cases of the virus were recorded, and 429 deaths.

The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency said the highly infectious Omicron variant was driving the record wave of infections and while a public survey revealed many expected to catch the virus, few feared serious health consequences.

Daily infections are far higher than health authorities had predicted. On Wednesday the government said it expected the wave to top out with daily cases in the mid-400,000. Less than a month ago it had predicted the peak of the wave would come in mid-March at 140,000 – 270,000 daily cases.

Canada to end COVID-19 test requirement in April for vaccinated visitors

The ministers of health, transport and tourism are expected Thursday to hold a press conference to announce the changes to border measures, which the government said it will end next month.

A senior government official confirmed the change to the Associated Press this week and other news outlets, speaking on condition of anonymity ahead of the announcement.

Testing requirements would still be in effect for partially or unvaccinated travelers.

Wonder what will happen when the strain in asia get here

Supposed to be Omricon-like in nature, so no need to panic.

The risk of hospitalization or death with omicron is about 40% of the risk associated with delta.

The risk of hospitalization or death with delta was about twice the risk associated with the ancestral strain.

So,

The risk of hospitalization or death with omicron is about 80% of the risk associated with the ancestral strain.

Ivermectin didn't curb COVID-19 hospitalizations in largest study to date

In a trial of nearly 1,400 COVID-19 patients, those who received the antiparasitic drug ivermectin didn't fare better than those who received a placebo, The Wall Street Journal reported March 18. 

It's the largest trial yet to evaluate the drug's effect on the coronavirus. The findings are awaiting publication in a peer-reviewed medical journal and are set to be presented March 18 at a forum sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, Edward Mills, PhD, one of the study's lead researchers, told the Journal. 

"There was no indication that ivermectin was clinically useful," Dr. Mills said. He is a professor of health sciences at Canada's McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. 

The research involved 1,348 adults in Brazil who tested positive for COVID-19 and were all at risk of developing a severe case. Half of the patients were prescribed a course of ivermectin pills for three days and the other half received a placebo. Dr. Mills and team looked at whether patients on ivermectin were less likely to require hospitalization, whether they cleared the virus faster, whether their symptoms resolved sooner, whether they were in the hospital or on ventilators for less time, and whether there was a difference in death rates between the cohorts. 

Findings showed ivermectin didn't improve patient outcomes for any of these factors. 

"This is the first large, prospective study that should really help put to rest ivermectin and not give any credibility to the use of it for COVID-19," Peter Hotez, MD, PhD, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, who reviewed the findings, told the Journal. 

Ivermectin is primarily used to treat patients with certain parasitic diseases and has not been approved to treat any viral infections. The FDA has warned large doses of the drug are dangerous.
