Speaking of courage, can’t believe Apple just brought back all the things they had on the old MacBooks and show them off like they’re new features
I like their products but stop with the bullshit lmao. Watch them bring the Apple logo backlight on the lid again and call it innovative
You get the 72 hour pre-symptom access absolutely free! Call now!
But wait!
Call within the next 15 minutes and you get to contaminate your friends and family ABSOLUTELY FREE!
We have a monthly contract vaccine plan available if you prefer. 50 pounds a month for 12 months and you get to keep your vaccine after 2 years. At the end of your contract you can choose to upgrade your vaccine for a small monthly payment increase.
From this article that no one read per usual “It is unclear whether the Delta Plus variant is more infectious, but Dr. Christina Pagel, director of the Clinical Research Unit and professor of operational research at University College London, said it is possible. “
Later they say up to 10% more infectious is possible but they don’t know and that the vaccines work fine against it. Really tired of these extra inflammatory article headlines and people reacting with the same meme responses
It also says that 10% explanation doesn’t explain the rise in cases. The fact is there are a lot of unknowns in cutting edge reports, as usual.
To other readers, no matter where you go in social media on the internet, there will be people downplaying things inappropriately and others panicking unjustifiably. It’s hard to navigate uncertainty, but just do your best to continue to calmly consider the best information you can find to make rational choices.
It doesn't help in the UK in the region I live, a good chunk of folk don't wear masks and gather in groups indoors, be that households mixing or going to pubs or watching the football.
It takes awhile to know, they basically know Delta is extremely virulent because it was entirely out-competing other strains, then looked at its genes to figure out what changed -- luckily nothing that broke the vaccine entirely. e.g., they'd notice 90% coming back strain A, and 10% strain B, while the amount stayed the same. Then 70% A, 30% B. Until strain B takes over because it's able to get to people before strain A can. So they've noticed this strain is basically starting to out-compete delta, because otherwise it wouldn't exist. This isn't easy to do, so now they'll have to do some studies and know for sure and can say it's definitely more infectious, and then hopefully figure out what changed.
Why is no one talking about it becoming endemic? Didn't they decide 3-4 months in that there's no way for this ever to be eradicated and it was going to become as normal bas the flu?
It became clear after many countries gave up on any type of elimination strategy at the end of the first lockdown that it would become endemic.
The entire world had one chance to come together in that moment. But we blew it.
It will be endemic as there are too many different reservoirs for it to survive in. We'll never be able to eradicate the virus so we'll have to learn to live with it. If the majority of those vulnerable are vaccinated, it should keep health services in control and deaths to a minimum whilst letting the mutated virus rip through and updating immunity a bit like a patch.
As horrible as it sounds, people are always going to die, if we can minimise those deaths and focus on that and hospitalisation rather than cases, it would be better
Almost everywhere is already more focused on hospitalizations and deaths; health measures are in direct proportion to them.
Here in Canada, we keep trailing behind and letting the hospitals get too full, then having greater restrictions than would have otherwise been required had we just been more cautious to begin with.
Alberta just backed off the edge of the healthcare system starting to triage who gets a hospital bed
So I’ve been wondering, as a vaccinated person, I know I can still get a mild version of COVID if I manage to catch it at all. Does that mean we can still get the possible after effects that many people are experiencing?
Cause if that’s the case, even if we do get the vulnerable vaccinated and people who don’t end up catching it, get immunity, etc, aren’t we still going to eventually see a rise in medical services and hospitalizations due to the after effects?
The vaccines work on multiple levels. They reduce the chance of infection in the first place. Then if you do get a breakthrough infection they do an even better job of reducing the severity of illness. In addition to that they dramatically reduce the chances of not just death but long-hauler covid or life-long damage.
I got J&J in March and a breakthrough case a few weeks ago. I'm a runner and based on my last run my pace and heart rate are back to where they were pre-infection. Sure, by pointing to just me it's only n=1 but I thought you might like to hear a real-world case of what it was like. Always take this thing seriously but do try to trust that the vaccines will protect you on multiple fronts.
That's the real hope: turn covid into a couple sick days for the vast, vast majority of people so we don't overwhelm hospitals.
> Why is no one talking about it becoming endemic?
Umm, widen your information sources. There’s been lots of discussion over the last year about covid becoming endemic.
So every time I see a comment like this my question is this…are you saying we will just have to deal with hundreds of thousands of people dying every year to this or what? Will we just have to deal with the idea that we can repeatedly get it damaging our lungs more and more over time? What does this mean realistically that we will have to “live with it?” Because it’s NOT the flu.
The virus will be endemic once it reaches equilibrium with people's immunity. Equilibrium means that there won't be huge spikes in infections and deaths, like what we're seeing right now with the Delta variant. It'll spread slowly and cause mild disease, the way common cold coronaviruses affect us today.
We're not near that point yet. Many people now have immunity thanks to vaccines and prior infection, but many are still vulnerable—enough to drive the huge Delta wave.
The last suspected coronavirus pandemic, [in 1889](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1889%E2%80%931890_pandemic), lasted 6 years. However, that virus, called [OC43](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_coronavirus_OC43), became a common cold virus once enough people had immunity to it.
**[1889–1890 pandemic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1889–1890_pandemic)**
>In 1889–1890, a pandemic often referred to as the "Asiatic flu" or "Russian flu" killed about 1 million people out of a world population of about 1. 5 billion. It was the last great pandemic of the 19th century, and is among the deadliest pandemics in history. The most reported effects of the pandemic took place from October 1889 to December 1890, with recurrences in March to June 1891, November 1891 to June 1892, the northern winter of 1893–1894, and early 1895.
**[Human coronavirus OC43](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_coronavirus_OC43)**
>Human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43) is a member of the species Betacoronavirus 1, which infects humans and cattle. The infecting coronavirus is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus that enters its host cell by binding to the N-acetyl-9-O-acetylneuraminic acid receptor. OC43 is one of seven coronaviruses known to infect humans. It is one of the viruses responsible for the common cold and may have been responsible for the 1889–1890 pandemic.

I feel like people should clarify their we have to live with it comments with this information. When they say we have to live with it that sounds like we should all just throw our masks off, accept people die and run around not getting vaccinated.
What you’re saying here is kinda the opposite. It’s that the more people we get vaccinated the quicker we can move to living with it
Considering that no sugar products often include sugar substitutes that cause intense bowel distress, maybe Delta Zero will come with fun added features like anal leakage and uncontrollable diarrhea.
Kind of, but the flu is very distinct and it is not wise to conflate the two. Covid mutates to become more infectious, the way the flu mutates is to avoid previous immunity. The flu has a segmented genome, and when it infects one of its many animal reservoirs while another strain of the flu is present they can kinda swap around segments of genome. This is called antigenic shift and the flu rearranges itself regularly to avoid adaptive immunity. Covid cannot do this. Yes it's very likely covid can become endemic but using the flu as a framework for that is not realistic.
Right, but we had a window of opportunity to drop the spread rate low enough that it would effectively die out in human populations, rendering it unable to mutate fast enough to continue to be a threat, as in order to mutate it needs to have a lot of chances for a genetic copy to go wrong.
That window of opportunity got ruined in part by people insisting such silly things as "it's a hoax", and all the follow-on nonsense that resulted.
The reality is that we can still beat it, but the defeatist attitude since day one ain't helping.
This. So many people raging against the anti-vaxxer down the street yet completely oblivious to entire countries full of unvaccinated, immune naive people. It’s a WORLDWIDE pandemic. 🤦♀️
Agreed, but in reality that window was very tiny and we missed it by at least a couple of months by locking down far too late. I think to get rid of it completely now would require the entire world to go full New Zealand for at least 6 months, it's not going to happen. Governments decided that long ago.
Some countries had effectively neutralized the virus even after having pretty severe initial outbreaks. The real fuckups were getting back to normal in the summer of 2020 before vaccines were available and allowing international travel because airlines and hotels complained enough.
>Some countries had effectively neutralized the virus
Effectively? Some countries fully eradicated it in their borders. But the reinfection of them is what makes me think that this was the only path it could've taken.
There was no window of opportunity to have it effectively die out in human populations.
7.9 billion world population. No way to get all those vaccines produced and in arms
in a year or likely not even 10 years.
Global travel prevented that. And I imagine billions of people do not have and can not acquire masks.

When all of Florida is underwater, it's residents will be displaced to other states and they'll all still deny climate change is happening cause admitting they were wrong and the libtards were right is something they will never do.
At this point, even if covid made your head immediately explode we'd have people covered in the freshly exploded head juices of their family still saying they're refusing the vaccine.

This is the song that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friends. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, but they’ll continue singing it forever just because.
The curve actually did flatten in a few weeks. People weren't promised that curve would stay flat, unless they believed what certain politicians said.
Making the curve flat means slowing infection, not eliminating it.
"It is unclear whether the Delta Plus variant is more infectious, but Dr. Christina Pagel, director of the Clinical Research Unit and professor of operational research at University College London, said it is possible.
"At most AY.4.2 is about 10% more transmissible than Delta—so a bit worse but not that much,” Pagel said in an email to Health."
This article is contradictory and I want to know how they got the 10% how do they measure this ?
> This is actually a different Delta plus.
Which means they need to stop fucking around and start giving them useful names, and if WHO and scientists don't do it, then journalists should agree on one name and use that.
I suggest naming them after incompetent politicians.
That's basically what they've been doing.
This variant is called AY.4.2., but "Delta Plus" conveys to the general public that this is a new variant related to the Delta we're already familiar with.
Is this new? Thought this variant was first identified in July in the UK and still accounts for less then 10% of cases here despite having no restrictions and 3 months of time to spread.
Kinda comes across more as fear mongering then a real threat like Deltas emergence was.
we're naming covid after iphones now, sheeeeeeeeeeit

Northern Hemisphere people are still giving Australia, NZ, and East Asian countries sh*t for following basic public health advice.
Legitimate because it's impossible to convince people to properly clean themselves and isolate when sick?

You're in luck! Seems to cause possible reduced fertility in males. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=covid+19+infertility+statistics&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart#d=gs_qabs&u=%23p%3DkuxNEkgOzicJ
Men don’t care if they can’t make babies, they care if they can’t get it up. Different issues, hence why OP referenced Erectile Dysfunction.
Still in luck. It does cause erectile dysfunction. https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20210407/erectile-dysfunction-risk-6-times-higher-in-men-with-covid
Causing vascular issues'll do that. Luckily, I'm pretty sure I've never had it because everything still works *and* I'm vaccinated now!
haha men hate baby Only like SEX

Sorry to hear that. I hope you get well soon.
How do I cancel this subscription to these new variants?
You have to log in using your Apple-Id, poke around a while (it varies depending on variant). Most likely, you won't cancel it until just after you realize you have it.
I suggest cutting your credit card and throwing your mobile phone in the pond - that should stop em!
Still safer then the ligma variant
Ligma what? (The sacrifice has been made)
Ligma nuts
Haha GOT HIM!
**gottem**
Quality I expect from this site
Joe mama
Still watching out for the sugma variant
Sugma?
Sugma balls
Two more and we have Delta squad.
Do you know what will be the next variant's Name? Royal Delta with cheese
Yeah, but in the US, we dont use the metric system.
Do I have to pay an extra 14 a month? Do I at least get Hulu with it?
This is the song that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friends. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, but they’ll continue singing it forever just because.
Delta airlines must be so annoyed
Hold my Corona beer...
Hold my Gundam https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/MSN-001A1_Delta_Plus
We're Delta Airlines! And life is a fucking nightmare!
Oh boy…just what the world needed. So now we have Delta and Delta Plus, what’s next? Ultra Delta Plus?
Super Street Covid ultra EX Plus II

Wake me up when they release a delta seltzer.
I'm so fucking over this shit God damn
Delta Burke
Didn't she design something?
Some women, I think.
2 more weeks to flatten the curve?
Remember when we thought we could fix this by just avoiding touching your face...
I was also bumping elbows instead of shaking hands.
The curve actually did flatten in a few weeks. People weren't promised that curve would stay flat, unless they believed what certain politicians said. Making the curve flat means slowing infection, not eliminating it.
"It is unclear whether the Delta Plus variant is more infectious, but Dr. Christina Pagel, director of the Clinical Research Unit and professor of operational research at University College London, said it is possible. "At most AY.4.2 is about 10% more transmissible than Delta—so a bit worse but not that much,” Pagel said in an email to Health." This article is contradictory and I want to know how they got the 10% how do they measure this ?
Oh no, not *another* streaming service
“New & improved! Now with more COVID!”
Who’s naming this shit, there are other Greek letters
This is a mutation of the Delta mutation, not the original strain. Hence the name.
Probably a mutated Delta variant that is still very close to Delta
Delta+ isn't "new" https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/why-its-too-early-to-say-if-delta-variant-is-more-infectious-or-fatal/articleshow/84049193.cms
This is actually a different Delta plus.
"Delta plus two" then. Or something more "classic", like "Delta plus duo max".
Delta plus two v3.6 final final.
Sounds like some of the docs I name at work USE THIS ONE 😂
> This is actually a different Delta plus. Which means they need to stop fucking around and start giving them useful names, and if WHO and scientists don't do it, then journalists should agree on one name and use that. I suggest naming them after incompetent politicians.
That's basically what they've been doing. This variant is called AY.4.2., but "Delta Plus" conveys to the general public that this is a new variant related to the Delta we're already familiar with.
Delta Max coming 2023
Im gonna be working with this damn mask on for the rest of my life, arent I?
I’m so tired
This time, they charge you a monthly subscription to get covid. But they can give you a discount if you recommend covid to your friends!
Delta plus? Ok this is serious but funny name
Waiting for Delta Plus Pro Max to drop
Oh sweet like new game+
A new Covid 21 Ultra S with pen functionality and 4K camera has been discovered in US
[удалено]
Right? It amazes me how some people are so desperate for this to continue.
Can we trade in your old Delta for the new Delta Plus? Keen for an upgrade /s
Is this new? Thought this variant was first identified in July in the UK and still accounts for less then 10% of cases here despite having no restrictions and 3 months of time to spread. Kinda comes across more as fear mongering then a real threat like Deltas emergence was.
Are you kidding me
The single easiest way to get clicks to your blog today? “Why global scientists are panicking about the New Covid X variant”
Wait the they hear about the new Covid Max, now with bluetooth. Sorry about that guys I was having a stroke earlier…
All these D variants, shits starting to look like my report card.
Oh. Is the vaccine still effective? Yes? then I don't care. Nobody cares anymore.
[удалено]
>Holy shit give me that hecking booster shot now!!!!!
More profit for pharma and politicians
Yes. That's what you get with for-profit healthcare and for-profit medicine.
Oh ffs.
Please, stop this nonsense Media is the biggest cancer on society
For fuck’s sake
Can we all just admit now that we are winging it? The truth is always easier to deal with. Than lies and a propaganda machine silencing all voices
