that told me they're seeing data ahead of the rest of the country

I thought that new study out yesterday said it was just as deadly as Delta. I think that's what's driving the changes. -- nm - jnine Dec 18, 09:30 9
- There was an incredible amount of weight placed on *one* tweet from a SA doctor. -- nm - Reagen Dec 18, 09:34 3
  - I'm talking about the UK study. -- nm - jnine Dec 18, 09:39 2
    - Yes, but I mean the "Omicron is less deadly" speculative talk. It was based on *very* little. -- nm - Reagen Dec 18, 09:56 1
      - Ah. This is the scary story, if true. 2 men infected in a quarantine hotel staying across the hallway from each other.Thought to be from air movement. -- (edited) - jnine Dec 18, 09:59
- I would imagine any variant of the virus would be deadly for the unvaccinated, more so with comorbidities. What we really wanna know is how... - Qale Dec 18, 09:34 2
  - two shot six months ago has effectiveness of 20-30%, boosted is 60-70% -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 18, 12:58
  - 2x seems to be not great, unless your second dose was recent. Greatly waned after about 3 months. Everyone please get boosted. -- nm - Andie Dec 18, 10:11
- ah! see how quick that info changes? I hadn't heard that -- nm - Remlik Dec 18, 09:31 1
  - It isn't peer reviewed yet, but it's scary. Protection against omicron reinfection may be as low as 19%, according to the study. -- (link*) - jnine Dec 18, 09:36
