No, there is never any need to panic. Stress and anxiety have a negative impact on immune system. This would be the worst time to panic.

Thank you for answering the first question.

Edit: Any other takers?

Thats the upgrade I need, new conspiracy of my own design and wishful thinking. Self replicating robots, to target and destroy anything human in me thereby creating a Cyborg, maybe in the future I won’t even be dependent on oxygen to survive. lol

May I interject? In post #1 was a question, have we answered it? No, I will however add to the that question with one of my own.

Have we, but of course you’ve already done that in all of the 327 pages. Still to no result, so I lean back on the original.

Is it time to Panic?

No, it's time to rejoice because we individually have the means to bring this short chapter of human suffering to an end if we choose wisely.

Some governors are beginning to report encouraging signs in their state's Covid-19 numbers, but warn of what could come next if more people don't get vaccinated.
Covid-19 hospitalizations and ICU utilization have decreased over the past week in Kentucky, Gov. Andy Beshear announced at a Thursday news conference.
"We are in a decline and we hope it continues for people hospitalized because of Covid," the governor said.
"This is more people getting vaccinated. This is more people wearing their masks. Keep it up," Beshear added, warning Covid-19 hospitalization and ICU numbers in the state are still very high and could tick back up.

We could have just ignored COVID-19 and burned the bodies in huge piles like in India.


The Sky was/is Falling for millions but we do have a very good change to break the COVID-19 cycle.

The World Health Organization classifies mu, which was first identified in Colombia, as a “variant of interest” rather than a “variant of concern” such as the highly transmissible delta variant. A total of 4,833 cases have been reported in the U.S, over half of the total mu variant cases worldwide, according to the coronavirus tracker. It peaked on June 19 in the U.S. but has been declining along with all other coronavirus cases as the summer surge appears to taper off.

"Virus strains are competing with one another, and it is definitely survival of the fittest, essentially the virus that can infect more people faster. It is likely that mu was not able to out-compete delta," Anna Durbin, director of the Center for Immunization Research at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, told Newsweek.

Delta is still the King.

 

Hello,

In holland the "rijksoverheid" (gouvernement) made a corona dashboard:
https://coronadashboard.rijksoverheid.nl/
In there there is a page for the different corona variants:
https://coronadashboard.rijksoverheid.nl/landelijk/varianten
In holland the Delta variant has 99.9 % of the cases.

That's actually a good trend has it seems Delta so far is the most efficient human-to-human transmitter. With Delta we can still use older vaccines to control it with boosters. The worse case is if we get a more efficient and maybe vaccine evading virus from the hordes of the unvaccinated (no, it didn't originate from the vaccinated or the vaccine) like we saw from the origins of Delta in India long before vaccines were approved.

 

https://www.reuters.com/business/he...id-19-pill-works-against-variants-2021-09-29/

Sept 29 (Reuters) - Laboratory studies show that Merck & Co's (MRK.N) experimental oral COVID-19 antiviral drug, molnupiravir, is likely to be effective against known variants of the coronavirus, including the dominant, highly transmissible Delta, the company said on Wednesday.

Since molnupiravir does not target the spike protein of the virus - the target of all current COVID-19 vaccines - which defines the differences between the variants, the drug should be equally effective as the virus continues to evolve, said Jay Grobler, head of infectious disease and vaccines at Merck.

Molnupiravir instead targets the viral polymerase, an enzyme needed for the virus to make copies of itself. It is designed to work by introducing errors into the genetic code of the virus.

 

Where are coronavirus deaths occurring in the United States?

 

Things are getting better even in the south at present but only time will tell who will get hit next. People are getting immunity the hard way and the virus will move to better hunting grounds up north as possible hosts decrease in the south.

State of the virus
Update for Oct. 1

• Reports of new cases have been falling steadily in recent weeks as much of the country moves past a summer surge. That progress has been especially pronounced in Southern states that saw the highest infection rates.
• There are about 20,000 fewer coronavirus patients hospitalized nationwide as there were at the start of September.
• Nearly 2,000 coronavirus deaths are being reported each day. On Friday, the country surpassed 700,000 total deaths in the pandemic.
• Alaska leads the country by a wide margin in recent cases per capita. The surge there has hit rural and urban areas, leaving hospital systems strained.
• Parts of the Mountain West, including Wyoming and Montana, have reported some of the country’s worst outbreaks in recent weeks. But it appears both those states may be starting to stabilize.
• Daily case reports continue to plummet in the South. Florida, which averaged more than 20,000 cases a day during much of August, is now reporting fewer than 6,000 infections a day. Louisiana, which weeks ago was averaging more than 5,000 cases daily, is now reporting about 1,000 cases each day.

Cases are nose-diving as is typical for Delta driven unvaccinated case waves seen around the world.
https://www.pharmaceutical-technolo...-two-month-peak-and-decline-cycle-identified/

The reason is unclear, but health experts have noted that the peak and decline of the Covid-19 virus, regardless of which variant, appears to have a two month cycle.
One explanation health experts have offered for this cycle is that each strain circulates for about two months before it recedes, and a new strain emerges, or herd immunity is reached.
Another explanation is that this is the time it takes for the virus to circulate among people’s social circles infecting people who are the most vulnerable.

 

Cases are moving.

Yep, that little hot spot on the coast just above Florida was my neck of the pine and palmetto barrens.

 

It is obvious that the map of cases shows where the antivax people are.

Maine is a conservative state. Particularly in the heart of the Maine woods. It’s a draw for survivalists, too. I knew a few. I was asked to draw up plans for bunkers in the mountainsides some 30 years ago.

Sure but they do have a very high vaccination rate so they are smart conservatives.

The problem is the Delta variant. It pushed the herd immunity requirement in the 90% range to deliver unvaccinated protection to the general population. The reason mandates are being pushed to the point of accepting critical losses in the medical and other fields is this fact. We need to boost vaxx rates even if it hurts and bends a few noses.

 

really?

India vaccination rate is very low yet they seem to have managed to get control over the situation

note that Maine has average 2 deaths per day and population of 1.3M and mostly vaccinated.
India has 1000x larger population so to they are still doing 8x better than Maine (less than 250 deaths instead of 2000).
it almost sounds like alternatives to experimental vaccine may be effective in treating covid.

Yes, really.



The virus just finished having it's way with them and moved on to the next 'hot body', they didn't manage anything including burning bodies. As a pandemic measure it works if you don't care and can't care about the numbers of dead, sick and disabled for life. That's typical for India unfortunately.

 

so you agree that even doing nothing, gives better result than Covid vaccine?

Hell NO. Why would I agree to something so blatantly wrong and illogical. This is trolling, goodbye.
