Update: The numbers have been rising in the US for 3 weeks. Not sure of the significance. I sure am getting sick of the crap. Either way, please be careful over the next 3-5 Holidays.
We are, sadly, staying home from several of our traditional holiday activities including at least one (too) large family gathering. After nearly three weeks in the hospital and ten days in ICU, my wife (and by extension, me), understandably, is not inclined to take too many chances.Update: The numbers have been rising in the US for 3 weeks.

I noticed that too. I was really hopeful we were done with the big surges, but seeing the rise right before the holiday season gets started is spooky.
No good deed goes unpunished.Coworker has just tested positive this morning. She is fully vaccinated.
One coworker has not been and he got sent home for 10 days.
One other and myself get to carry the load since we have had ours.
It makes no sense to me, since we are all exposed, and she is fully vaccinated as well.

Not all immune systems are created equal.
It's not bad until someone close gets it. My girlfriend's daughter, 50 in good health, got intubated today. Anti-vaxxer, anti-masker, in denial. Her daughter's class was sent home because 3 kids in class tested pos. No at home quarantine. The kid thinks it's her fault. She started to get sick, fever etc and refused to get tested. O2 went into the mid 70s. Lungs are completely full.
Chuck, they put her on vent early and gave her treatments. No invectimin. Her Chances ?
Thanks, I remember in the past, 30% chance was the number. Today protocols has changed. She's on her belly today and they lowered her O2 intake. No comorbidites, normal wt for ht. No Thanksgiving for us today.Sorry to hear about your girlfriend's daughter. Her age is a positive. There are better drugs than Ivermectin. I would not give up hope because today her odds are still good for recover. I can't give her percentage with a heck of a lot more information, but like I said he age give her the edge to a positive recovery.
Wishing a positive outcome for you. Keeping you in my thoughts.Thanks, I remember in the past, 30% chance was the number. Today protocols has changed. She's on her belly today and lowered O2 intake. No comorbidites, normal wt for ht. No Thanksgiving for us today.

... and Israel and Belgium, per the news this morning. If it's bad, it's already gotten out. The question is, is it bad or is this hyped to sell papers/clicks? As one of the articles I read said, there have been a bunch of variants that looked bad on paper but didn't turn out to much. Delta, on the other hand...
So my question to Chuck: What would you look for (in the news, particularly) to separate signal from the noise and know if this is actually bad or not?
One question in the back of my mind, but you probably have already answered “...we don’t yet know...”, does this particular mutation have the potential to put us back to square one? Basically, no one is considered vaccinated or have any natural immunity in regards to this variant.I am researching this now. The B.1.1.529 variant is scary but the scare is not based on any indication that it is more infectious or deadly at this time. I guess the bottom line is we do nto know. There are 20+ new mutations of the spike protein that may end being more infectious and resistant to vaccines. I am currently writing an expert opinion on the variant.
What other questions do you have?
Yeah, this is where I’m going too. A variant with the infectiousness of delta plus making vaccines 50% effective instead of 90% would be a whole nasty mess.One question in the back of my mind, but you probably have already answered “...we don’t yet know...”, does this particular mutation have the potential to put us back to square one?

Well it has a name now, Omicron. Geez.
I was thinking more 50’s sci fi. The Omicron Dilemma or something like that.Sounds like a Marvel Villain.
As long as we don’t get to the OhmyGod variant……I was thinking more 50’s sci fi. The Omicron Dilemma or something like that.
It's all Greek to me.I was thinking more 50’s sci fi. The Omicron Dilemma or something like that.
