Why you're less likely to get severe COVID during NSW's Omicron surgeDespite COVID-19 hospitalisations in NSW being at their highest point, the risk of severe disease right now is lower than during last year's Delta outbreak, an ABC analysis finds. lol less likely lol More likely to catch the virus because it is everywhere Not one person will not come into contact with a person with the virus this time round I had contact with 4 people and caught it from a mechanic servicing my car Sorry, off topic. Please read my account before insulting me. I am a pensioner in Russia. I'm asking out of need. I feed stray cats - I can't leave them (I tried, I can't), the pension is small ($250 month), maybe you can help me? maybe cat food? maybe a retweet? Thanks Cats More gibberish from the compromised ABC - the patent numbers ICU in NSW are increasing on a daily basis and that’s that, comparing that to the numbers last year when the vaccine stroll out was just starting is disingenuous garbage.
