In response to "Some good Omicron news: Cases are dropping significantly in South Africa." by Inigo

Makes sense. Everyone gets it quickly and then it fizzles. I wish everyone on ST well the next few weeks, everyone is getting it. -- nm

This is such a weird take. -- nm - mafic Dec 21, 06:43
Not everyone will get it. Not even close. Around 400k people have gotten Omicron in South Africa. There are 60.4 million people living there. - Inigo Dec 21, 05:49 11
- To clarify - 400K people in South Africa got tested and were positives. MANY more had it. -- nm - Andie Dec 21, 06:06 10
  - Yup. Ever day stats are coming out literally showing everyone gets it. -- nm - MDH Dec 21, 06:26 3
    - *hands you a dictionary for the word literally* - Will Hunting Dec 21, 06:29 2
      - I’m the opposite of fear mongering. We are all getting it, if you’re vaxxed you’ll be okay. Don’t give false hope that we’re all avoiding this. -- nm - MDH Dec 21, 06:36 1
        
        agreed. BUT wear a mask, limit large crowds and stuff too cause why chance it. (had this discussion with the wife when her family were coming) -- nm - Beaker Dec 21, 06:38
  - Sure, but that's the same for all of COVID. - Inigo Dec 21, 06:12 5
    - There’s no official word, but there were estimates that more than 90% of people that had Omicron did not know. -- nm - MDH Dec 21, 06:27 3
      - this could also be a factor of testing though. Where the US makes people pay more people aren't tested. Up here the lineups for free tests are massive - Beaker Dec 21, 06:37
      - So…his 1/10th stat….is accurate. So 6.6% of the nation. That’s … not all. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 21, 06:30 1
        
        Also, I'm being very liberal in the 400k case number. That's going back to early September. - Inigo Dec 21, 06:39
    - oh, i get it, but people forget that not all cases get counted. -- nm - Candie Cane Dec 21, 06:13
I don't think everyone is getting it. -- nm - Krusty Dec 21, 05:42
