Doesn’t surprise me that you reject truth

What is the truth? Certainly not what the data represents. It has more to do with the narrative the powerbrokers want to spin.

"Patients who start with poor health come at a disadvantage," he said.

Extremely high transmission rates mean the virus is reaching everyone, but it's hitting those from disadvantaged neighborhoods especially hard, he said.

Overall, the proportion of Omicron cases that have resulted in deaths appears to be lower than the case-mortality ratio for Delta.

That was and has always been the whole point, we did our job with no help from antivaxers who in my opinion extended things unnecessarily. Thanks for nothing.

Where is the chart comparing hospitalizations and death in Iceland?

Their death rate is still a good bit lower than ours though. I’d say being vaccinated and being on an island has worked to their advantage.

They also claim 70% have already been infected as well. So that natural immunity should be working better than the vaccine to lower cases right?

Could be. I haven’t looked into their infection numbers. Whatever the case, something has kept their death rate down.

I was being a smart ass.

They are having a surge of cases but their hospitalization and death rate is about 50% lower than the pre-vaccine peak.

It was already low compared to the rest of the world.

And I agree that being on island was definitely a factor.

This is interesting and a good reason to find out if you actually had Covid or not.

Belief in Having Had COVID-19 Associated With Long COVID Symptoms

People who thought they’d been infected with SARS-CoV-2 had more persistent symptoms than those whose infections were confirmed by antibody testing in a recent study.

Researchers analyzed survey data and serology results from 26 823 adults in France. They found no relationship between the participants’ belief about whether they’d had COVID-19 and their antibody test results from blood samples collected between May and November 2020. In fact, about half of participants who believed that they’d had COVID-19 tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. False-negative results were unlikely to have influenced the associations substantially, according to the authors.

The survey also asked participants about more than 20 symptoms associated with long COVID, including soreness, fatigue, poor concentration, trouble breathing, and chest pain. For most of the categories, a belief in having had COVID-19 was associated with currently having a symptom that had lasted for more than 8 weeks, after adjusting for age, sex, income, educational level, self-rated health, and depressive symptoms. However, loss of smell was the only long-term symptom associated with a positive serology test after adjustments.

The results “suggest that physical symptoms persisting 10 to 12 months after the COVID-19 pandemic first wave may be associated more with the belief in having experienced COVID-19 infection than with actually being infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus,” the authors wrote in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Because another disease may underlie the symptoms that some patients attribute to COVID-19, the authors advised physicians to conduct a medical examination to determine the symptoms’ cause.
