LjLAsako, i don't think that's what the graph says, but also, how is that significant?01:24
LjLwithout elaborating i don't really know what you mean01:24
Asakowell i'm vaccinated and boosted, wondering what my chance of death is01:29
LjLAsako, that graph cannot answer that01:37
LjLthat graph depends entirely on how many people got 3 doses01:37
LjLif *everyone* got 3 doses, then *every* death is in people who got 3 dosese01:38
LjLit's the usual fallacy01:38
LjLyou need to look at normalized data (normalized by how many people are in each vaccination-status cohort)01:38

de-factowe may need to watch BA.2.75 "Centaurus" in India and Nepal https://covariants.org/variants/22D.Omicron03:55
de-factothats the only "new" rise i can see in those covariants graphs03:55
de-factoits also in China but they probably will just suffocate it03:56
de-factoIndia and Nepal always showed similar curves for other variants, including BA.2.7503:58
de-factoso far it caused a little wave in their populations but Rt seems to go down again approaching Rt ~ 1, so probably nothing too dramatic?04:01
BrainstormUpdates for Australia: +20028 cases, +69 deaths since 23 hours ago — Tonga: +730 cases since 5 days ago — Grenada: +111 cases, +389 tests since 3 days ago04:05
de-factoi wonder how seasonality will play into that dynamic, if i remember correctly it may have the capacity to rise Rt by as much as 40%04:06
de-factomeaning countries that are at Rt04:07
de-factomeaning countries that are at Rt ~1 would relaunch their waves by increasing them per seasonality if the waves were not widespread enough to create broad immunity in the population04:07
de-factoiirc in Europe the annual modulation of reproduction Rt by seasonal effects would follow roughly a Sinus curve with its minimum in July and maximum in January with an amplitude as much as 40% difference between those extremes04:12

de-factoHe predicts that BA.2.75 will continue to grow globally, particularly in Asia and Oceania. But there are also signs that another Omicron sub-lineage that's growing in Europe and North America, called BA.4.6, is just as transmissible as BA.2.75. "We might end up with an eclectic mix of Omicron descendants, with different ones reaching dominance in different parts of the world," Wenseleers says.04:29
