Sorry guys, the dissenters were right all along. It hasn't been and isn't that big a deal. We should be seeing a really high rate of disease and death in those communities that havent been vaccinated (the very places the variants are supposed to come from).
Thing is, even there, although they do have excess death, it isnt in any sort of volume that suggests that COVID is or ever will be that big a deal.
Obviously, I attribute our outcomes to the breaks being applied, not letting it rip, vaccinations, etc, but lets face it, its been blown way out of proportion and we can all say that fairly confidently now.
I suggest that you look at that the statistics before making such an absurd claim Thry.
Even the relatively benign Omicron variant is 40% more lethal than seasonal flu.
Folk who can’t help their kids with their homework are claiming epidemiological expertise and it just doesn’t wash.
I’m not an epidemiologist and don’t claim any expertise at all in that field. However, I have written peer-reviewed papers and reviewed papers by others. I know how to read and interpret scientific articles and have kept abreast with the latest COVID publications. Anyone who thinks that COVID isn’t a big deal is a conspiracy theorist or has problems with comprehension.
