![]() This looks like good news to me: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...es/burden.html It seems that over 146 million now have some degree of natural immunity to the disease. And based on the total number of infections vs. the total deaths the odds of surviving the infection is 99.4% when taken across all age groups. No doubt if you're older those odds are worse. Going in for my 2nd dose of the drug after the holiday.

![]() Well despite the recent surge in cases here in MA I was hoping we would sail through this holiday weekend without anything to deter our family gathering plans. We were planning to pick up our tradition of going to my wife's cousin's for Christmas eve after missing it last year due to covid. Well now we just found out her grandson (9 year old) just tested positive so its been canceled. It sucks but we will all figure out somewhere else to celebrate (most likely staying home). What's more concerning is we are not sure of that part of the family's vaccination status. Some of them are but we suspect some are not. Including the kid's father. Hopefully they all make it through without anyone getting severely sick. |

![]() ![]() Texas getting f'd with omicron already. Didn't even wait till after Christmas, nice work... Barely got through the 3rd wave now we're starting a 4th. When does people finally realize not getting the vax is going to push this crap out forever? |

![]() I just read a report that South african medical experts are saying that they've just passed the peak of Omicron...and cases are starting to drop. So the combination of being more transmissable but less deadly could be a real thing instead of speculation.

![]() Yea but itll be up to 10x less likely to kill if you have the vax. Omicron is anywhere from 30% to 70% less deadly but those numbers arent that great if you have 5 or more times of new cases a day. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-59758784 Quote:

![]() Its all about risk reduction at this point, rather than risk elimination. Keeping current with vaccinations + masks + situational distancing all work together to reduce risk of infection / spread. |

![]() I’d support them even if the food/service was garbage. Anyone not following proper precautions these days can eff themselves. I’m tired of snowflakes complaining. Don’t like it don’t go outside. Don’t like that option move to an island or deep in a forest. Part of the pact of being part of society is looking out for the general welfare of others. TLDR: boo frickety hoo to people who won’t grow a pair and mask up.

![]() Just received a letter from my kids' school. My son was in direct contact with someone who has it. My father wasn't keen on receiving us (he had a couple of cancers) and my gf's parents aren't at their peak so we're gonna spend Christmas between us and we'll just swap gifts in their parking lot.
