The scariest thing about this COVID wave might also be the thing that saves us

had 177,013 active cases across the state with 2210 of those in hospital and 68 in intensive care. In the 24 hours to Friday afternoon 46 people died with COVID-19.

The experts are resolute that this approach remains cavalier. And the potential for pressure on the healthcare system is only one reason.Will it be the elderly who, despite vaccination and the availability of new oral anti-viral medication, are not able to fight off the virus? “The fact is that we’ve got more people dying from this virus than any other virus. If things keep going in this direction COVID could be the single greatest cause of death, exceeding heart disease,” Parnis believes. “That’s unacceptable. How bad does it get? What are the long-term consequences? There are a lot of things we just don’t know.”

She is troubled by the current wave: “To say it’s disappointing is an understatement,” Bennett says, pointing out the BA.5 variant that is driving the spike in infections is escaping the immunity built by those who contracted BA.2 more efficiently than hoped.

COVID19 It's not a 'wave'? This is a tide - and it's still rising. 😷

The scariest thing about covid is how the media react to it with their illogical hysteria

So no masks, no mandates, because our CMO's have now become politicians. Afraid to make a Science based call because he whingers will all whinge again. This is a pathetic National responce when we all know the basics still work as primary prevention of spread 😕

The scariest thing is all the authoritarians calling for mandates. Already over the peak though so I guess we don’t need them eh

Pretty obvious isn't it? Winter,windows closed UNMASKED people staying indoors breathing heavy viral load of a weak Omicron strain? Heavy viral load intake of weak strain becomes a deadly army for those with weak immunities?

So let me get this straight , get vaccinated now with a vaccine that doesn’t work , because they are developing another vaccine which actually works . You know it makes sense

Nobody is interested anymore with your propaganda since you championed everything and queried nothing.

There's nothing scary about a 99.5% survival rate, unless of course you're in the business of creating fear porn.
