High numbers among young people is especially troubling.

Yeah, this is a bad sign.

The data shows that 29% of COVID-19 admissions in the 0-to-4 age group had severe disease - a proportion similar to that in several other age groups, and significantly lower than the percentage of severe disease among patients over 60.

They don’t know if it’s omicron or delta at this point, but it’s not promising.

Stock up on TP.

Yeah, the first wave hit older and young people the hardest, then the second wave hit everyone with a spike in young adults.

8 months after the initial outbreak yeah. I thought delta was going to be that but it seems I was wrong.

is it because they’re less vaxed?

is it because all the old people died already? Which would mean that the remaining old people would be relatively resistant to COVID to start with?

We’re at the point where mask mandates are being obviously ignored and no one gives a shit. Like the same way everyone pretends they wash their hands after peeing but only does it when there’s someone else in the public bathroom with them. No one’s wearing a mask unless they’re worried someone will call them out on it but everyone’s so tired that no one is enforcing anything anymore. The only people still wearing masks where I live are the service industry workers who have to for their job

Nice to wake up and see my country featured in this graph

:doomjak:

I don’t think they make n95s for 0-5 year olds though…

Also haven’t got second vaccine dose yet because the local vaccine facility closed down and I don’t have a car, definitely don’t want to take a taxi at the moment (minibus crammed full of people) and can’t drive.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
