I guess he may have had an undiagnosed underlying condition for all we know, but still its a worry.I've had the booster now, so in 2 weeks time I'll be mosh-pit-ready.https://www.theage.com.au/national/nsw/talented-powerlifter-and-scientist-identified-as-young-man-who-died-with-covid-20220107-p59mht.htmlAnother reason to get the booster.
Re: CV and mad panic behaviour Reply #6422 – January 07, 2022, 10:38:24 am A Guardian article makes an interesting point. The next major on the calendar is the French Open. Macron has declared that he wants to "piss off" unvaccinated citizens, so unless Covid dies away by May Novak could be banned from playing there.

Yep, he was double-vaccinated too and that didn't save him.
Re: CV and mad panic behaviour Reply #6424 – January 07, 2022, 10:40:37 am I think it was Weimar who said something yesterday like "the vaccines have only 10% efficacy after 4 months". I nearly drove off the road when I heard that.

With Novak forced out it's a hollow win for whoever takes the crown which would be sad if it's Zverev's maiden.

This might add to his legacy like Muhammad Ali.

I nearly drove off the road when I heard that. Governments have undersold the omicron strain and now its starting to bite the hospital system. Staff being pulled from other wards in hospitals to try and cope with the influx.NSW health system are expecting 400 hospital cases per day and will have to triage patients.We have three family members with Covid and two are very unwell and are are only 30.We should have had lockdowns of sorts when the testing system was overwhelmed.
Re: CV and mad panic behaviour Reply #6428 – January 07, 2022, 11:00:35 am Except that Ali's holiday was a consequence of refusing to fight a stupid war in which thousands of people died and Novak's is a consequence of his refusal to take a vaccine which is keeping thousands of people alive. They can be compared only because they occupy opposite ends of the spectrum.

The case numbers are staggering and I certainly have no faith in the accuracy of the reported numbers any longer from many many countries. Best wishes to your family members EB. 1 Likes

That was never true and Omicron is different/worse for kids and youth, maybe it's milder for adults in the long term, the scientists have been telling us this for weeks and weeks and nobody in the mainstream media is listening.The media is full of and run by adults and old people, taking a very selfish perspective and basically throwing kids and youth to the wolves!All the premises about COVID being mild and not serious for kids are bullcrap, and completely ignore the potential long term non-lethal effects of getting Sars-CoV-2 infection. The foolish "COVID doesn't affect kids" perspective is built on the false premise that "If it's non-lethal it's OK!"Despite being not as frequent the potential serious side-effects of COVID for youth and children are every bit as acute as Chicken Pox, Mumps, Measles or Rubella!Don't listening to Facebook, Tik Tok or Instagram, they don't care about your kids, they only care about clicks!

Re: CV and mad panic behaviour Reply #6432 – January 07, 2022, 01:12:22 pm Just to let everyone know there is a nasty, non-covid virus out in the community at the moment.My wife and I had our booster shots on 20 December. On 28 December we became ill, showing all of the covid symptoms except for not having a temperature. The results of two RAT tests for each of us were negative, but we are still too ill to leave home.Our daughter has told us that a friend of hers in her forties, double vaccinated, has been ill with the same symptoms since Christmas Day and has also tested negative. 1 Likes

Our local Chemist was the first to alert us to it, but they don't want to make a big deal about it because they still want people to make sure they get COVID tested if the have such symptoms.I don't need to remind people the health authorities have been warning of this, nature deplores a vacuum and the pandemic has left a gaping hole for a new flu or some other virus to slot into!
