Posted by Stephen Bauman on Thu May 19 00:07:07 2022, in response to Re: 1 Million US Covid Deaths - No End In Sight, posted by Fisk Ave Jim on Wed May 18 22:48:59 2022. Covid cases of late are less debilitating, most equating it to a bad cold.Covid is far more transmissible than the common cold. This means a single worker can (and has) taken out large portions of close quarter workers at one time. A single member is usually enough to infect an entire household. The average number of confirmed new daily cases were running around 1% of the population for a 3 week period at Omicron's peak in Great Britain. Germany has been a lot worse. This will repeat every few months, given Omicron's evasion from natural immunity. Three weeks @ 1% new cases means 21% of the population will be affected. Of these 10% or 2% of the population will suffer long term Covid for every 3 month period. 75% of those who suffer long term Covid had mild Covid cases. The economic and social institutions cannot handle 5% or more of the population on disability. a large percentage of the work force are working from home, the "far greater economic & social disruption" will be minimized. That at large home work from home percentage will not deliver freight, fight fires, police streets, see patients in doctor offices or hospitals, process foods, etc. |
