A report has found that most positive cases of Covid-19 in Tshwane were 'incidental findings' as most of the patients were admitted to hospital for reasons other than Covid-19.Most hospitalised patients in Tshwane — the country's Covid-19 fourth wave and Omicron epicentre — have not needed supplementary oxygen to help them breathe.
The report noted a sharp rise in admissions at the two hospitals, with 166 new ones between November 14 and 29. However, the report says, the clinical profile of admitted patients could change significantly over the next two weeks, by which time conclusions could be drawn about the severity of the disease with greater precision.
“Thirteen patients are dependent on supplemental oxygen of which nine have a diagnosis of Covid-19 pneumonia based on a combination of symptoms, clinical signs, CXR and inflammatory markers. All are being prescribed steroids as the mainstay of therapy,” reads the report. On the severity of the Omicron variant, the report says the best indicator of disease severity was measured by the in-hospital death rate. On this front, there were 10 deaths in the SBAH/TDH cohort in the past two weeks, making up 6.6% of the 166 admissions.
This just shows that “incidental findings” has been happening. How many cases have been incidental? Considering how much time they’ve had refining this process.
Heart attacks from vaccines now blamed on everything else ! How the media lies to you
So we can all agree that there's no 4th wave
I hope our existing vaccine might to fight omicron with extra booster shots
Well a virus will mutate in vaxxed as well as unvaxxed till it becomes endemic, new variants will pop up every year with less and less severe symptoms. Think it's time we halt the start and stop of our economy's through lockdowns.
