| de-facto | also i think testing should become mandatory in more scenarios, just to make people go for the tests | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| de-facto | regardless of vaccination, recovery or any other status | 00:00 |
| Tuvix | Yea, the sports club I'm avoiding is a great example where mandatory tests at a regional level would matter. They literally don't want to test because they'd rather not know if someone is positive since that shorts them on staffing the following weekend. | 00:01 |
| de-facto | i could observe that here, if testing was mandatory for something (e.g. going shopping or such) there were big queues in front of the centers, if it was more liberal they were empty mostly | 00:01 |
| de-facto | so people should get motivated to test more often, by 1) making low effort testing available for everyone 2) make tests free of costs (even time efficient) 3) scale it up massively and make it mandatory | 00:02 |
| Tuvix | Sure, we saw that when part of Canada made vaccinations mandatory for liquor & cannabis. | 00:02 |
| de-facto | just tell people the result, most will be sane enough to avoid spreading it further i assume | 00:03 |
| Tuvix | But that's also just not political viable in most of the US. A nearby major metro to me recently made proof-of-vacination (or a negative test I believe 48-hours, maybe it was 72, prior) required for indoor dining & drinking, and naturally it was contested legally just days after it went into effect. | 00:04 |
| de-facto | the important point would be to find most of the carriers prior to them becoming infectious to their environment | 00:04 |
| Tuvix | Well, maybe? I think there are enough that would still not care unless they had to care. | 00:04 |
| de-facto | and that only could get achieved by 1) regular 2) widespread testing | 00:04 |
| Tuvix | If you get told you're positive and that you "ought to" avoid going places, and you "should" wear a mask, a subset are going to ignore that because it's inconvenient. | 00:05 |
| de-facto | i cant think of anyone in my social circle that would not care to isolate when getting a positive test result | 00:05 |
| de-facto | people should not fear to get tested | 00:05 |
| de-facto | they should understand its the best for their own freedom (as in avoiding impact of incidence and requirement for more invasive containment efforts) | 00:06 |
| LjL | https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/seaia3/an_israeli_study_finds_a_slightly/hui3j49/ "TL;DR: Israeli researchers originally claimed 0.1% of boys got myocarditis after being vaccinated for Covid." ← what? who had ever said 1/1000 get myocarditis, and which regulatory agency would accept a vaccine with that rate?! | 00:07 |
| Tuvix | That really only works when that's a possible alternative. | 00:07 |
| Tuvix | In most of the US, any kind of useful "lockdown" is almost entierly out of the realm of possibility unless things get quite literally an order of magnitude worse. | 00:08 |
| LjL | what the article actually says is "Myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle, occurred in one of 12,361 boys of that age group within a week of receiving a second dose, the study found." which is close to the Moderna rate, which would be worrisome, especially since it's just the second dose, not the third | 00:08 |
| Tuvix | And considering the rolling 7-day average death toll yesterday was 2300, that would mean a lot more serious issues before we, collectively, realize something has to be done. | 00:08 |
| de-facto | oof | 00:09 |
| Tuvix | Already experts are clammering at the only-just-recently declining cases (nationally, some states and localities are still basically at their worst case-peak from Omicron right now) and proudly claiming that we're coming out of the worst of it. | 00:10 |
| Tuvix | And sure, declining cases & hospital consumption *is* good, but what I want to know is when we get back to a death rate of under 0.5/100k over 7-days that we haven't even been close to since July. | 00:11 |

| user_ | Tuvix: seems like years now | 00:57 |
| user_ | even if there is no new variant , as infectious as O- is, and the lack of any increase in vaccine take-up | 00:58 |
| user_ | maybe in the summer, ? | 00:59 |
| Tuvix | Could be, unless something changes, either behavior in this country or the virus ends up killing less. Last winter we didn't have vaccines (not for most people anyway.) As of Delta and now again with Omicron, nearly all these deaths are fully avoidable. | 00:59 |
| Tuvix | Well, Delta hit during summer; the rise in deaths started in mid-July. | 00:59 |
| Tuvix | https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_dailycases_7daydeathsper100k -- orange line is the 7-day death aveage and the blue/red are cases (and case-averages) respectively. | 01:00 |
| Tuvix | By the end of July last year the uptick from Delta was obvious in the US, but we never really "recovered" from Delta like we did the prior winter surge, pre-vaccination. | 01:01 |
| user_ | seems like 2 years in a row , on the West coast, August was when the rapid spike happened, ramping up in July maybe | 01:09 |
| Tuvix | The policy being implemented at national, state, and local levels just doesn't reflect the reality, unless the country is just giving up and accepting the thousand (or more, currently where we are in the Omicron peak, it's thousands, plural) of dead daily. Each unit of "1" on the right-hand vertical axis at that link (the orange labels) is about 473 people (rounding that to 500 can help with ballpark | 01:12 |
| Tuvix | eyeball math.) | 01:12 |
| Tuvix | When that rate of death is under about 2.1 (for 2.1/100k/7d deaths) the per-day fatality rate will finally fall below 1000 daily nation-wide. Outside of a week right around there back in early December, we haven't seen that "low" of a death figure since mid-August when Delta was sweeping the nation. | 01:15 |
| Tuvix | To put this in perspective, usin the CDC's estimate of influenza seasons, and intentionally picking the worst estimated death toll in the last 10 years of influenza tracking (61k dead, as compared to an avearge closer to 35k) in order to have COVID equal to the worst year of seasonal flu, the average death from COVID, factoring in spikes during surges, would need to be at 0.35/100k/7d. That is, lower | 01:21 |
| Tuvix | than the best the US has ever seen since March 2020 | 01:21 |
| Tuvix | A better comparison is probably the 10-year avearge death estimate from influenza, which would require the annual avearge of COVID death rate to be at 0.21/100k/7d, or less than half the death rate of our BEST week in 22 months of this pandemic. This is *not* "just the flu" | 01:23 |
| Tuvix | Sources if anyone wants to play along with these numbers themselves: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/past-seasons.html (and using a 2019 population estimate of 331M for per-100k rate calculations) | 01:24 |

| Brainstorm | New from Ars Technica: Science: Omicron-specific vaccine boosters are now in humans as trials begin → https://arstechnica.com/ | 01:26 |
| Tuvix | To help the now-slightly-falling caseload of Omicron? Of course, but if the recovery can be helped with targeted boosters, at least in places like the US which saw a dreadfully lackluster decline after Delta, any improvement would help. | 01:27 |
| LjL | Brainstorm, boooo | 01:27 |
| Tuvix | Of course, if most of the cause of that death continues to be in the unvaccinated or those declining boosters, the best vaccines won't matter. | 01:27 |
| Tuvix | With any luck we can get the rate of hospital intake to not destroy the hospital & ICU systems during periods of high disease and perhaps with better therapudics improve the odds for the immunocomprimised that will continue to be exposed when disease spread is high. | 01:28 |
| Tuvix | At least that's a slightly hopeful outlook assuming that nothing significant changes to get the portion of the public not yet vaccinated to change minds. Here's an overlay of newly "fully vaccinated" (ie: 2 mRNA, or the 1x J&J folks) as contrasted with death totals that show the waves obviously: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_dailydeaths_7daypeoplefullyvaccinated | 01:30 |
