Thankfully the admins shut down the posts pretty quick theres certainly no need to go flaming them. however its a good reminder thats covid is just a plane flight away. i suspect it will spread NI fairly quickly now. SI might hold off for a while. get the jab done before it gets there.	tweak'e (69)

1481205	2021-10-10 18:34:00	Will Covid-19 be like the Black Death? Hardly. That killed half the population, more if you count all the times it popped up and not just the 1300s one. Also people had no idea of the cause, never mind cures. It still happens now and then now, but antibiotics fix it.	piroska (17583)

1481209	2021-10-11 06:26:00	Will Covid-19 be like the Black Death? more like spanish flu. tho higher more dense population and covid is much much worse. on the plus side is we actually know what it is and know how to kill it. we also have vaccines and better hospitals.	tweak'e (69)
1481210	2021-10-11 06:35:00	Vaccination does not stop you either catching or passing on covid. I does they say reduce your chances of ending up in hospital. well actually it does reduce the ability to pass on covid. technically its 75% reduction in transmission. however real world results will vary greatly depending on the amount of un-vaccinated people and population density. this is why they are pushing so hard to get everyone vaccinated. its like having lockdown on covid without people being lockdown. i'm sure everyone wants that. also because it reduces the spread, your less likely to catch it in the first place. however its not a fix. its only 75% reduction at best, so with the amount of non-vaccinated around, other measures will be needed. hopefully if we get high vaccination rates, the other measures will be minor.	tweak'e (69)
1481211	2021-10-11 22:10:00	this is why they are pushing so hard to get everyone vaccinated. . More like they are damn scared what will happen to our hospitals if it gets out of control. In NZ , its running at around a 10% hospitalization rate for covid cases . We dont have nurses or equipment for more ICU cases . Add to that hospital staff getting stood down after coming into contact with covid cases (as is happening now) , and staff actually getting covid. It will be a horror show for the unvaxed when covid numbers really ramp up . It will be a horror show for others needing other hospital treatment . "if 80 per cent of those aged 5 or over were fully vaccinated - around 75 per cent of the entire country Hendy projects it could cause just under 60,000 hospitalisations and just under 7000 deaths over a one-year period.
