Clive Palmer is in hospital with COVID.  I know that you’re not supposed to take pleasure in other folk’s suffering, but stuff it; the kent deserves all he gets.

Yes, it's not good for anybody, especially older and overweight.

But it is another knife in the COVID is just the flu brigade, and ironically at least at one stage I believe Palmer was one advocating an open up and let it rip policy.

He's loaded, surely he can just buy a batch of Trump's or Rogan's miracle cure and get straight back to work like it's a sniffle!

With Omicron having a wide impact I'm noticing a lot of people returning to work with persistent coughs, and what I might describe as mental fogginess, lethargy / fatigue, etc., etc..

The mental fogginess might well be a result of the cough, with potential poor sleep patterns as a result, it could be slightly reduce oxygen levels if lungs are at reduced capacity. Some of their doctors are advising them that these symptoms might persist for up to 3 months after the infection.

So much for a bit of a sniffle, I can't say I've ever had a cold that still affects me weeks or months later!

Yes I appreciate it is different for different people. One person at work had four out of five family members in the house get it, one never got it at all, while another spent one night in hospital on oxygen.

My nephew and his brother in law (niece’s husband) both got the Delta strain at the end of November (in the Bendigo JB HiFi apparently).  Both were double-vaxxed.  My nephew felt tired and lethargic for a couple of days, my niece’s husband had a high temperature and had aches and pains for a week.  Neither have any long-lasting symptoms.

Our local greengrocer got the Omicron strain in January and was very sick for a couple of days and felt the after effects for a couple of weeks.  Family members who have also had Omicron (daughter, son in law, grandchildren, niece, etc) were just a little off colour for a day or two.

This seems to be a very common pattern.

There is a still a bit of argy bargy going around in relation to why, various answers related to genetics and blood types, but I suspect that is an oversimplified argument.

FWIW, there were preliminary reports they had pegged the why for the initial strain, but both delta and Omicron proved them wrong.

The pandemic seems to dynamically attract quack assessments and sweeping conclusions, so you just know anytime someone comes out with a definitive answer it's going to bite them on the ar5e!

The current one seems to be a political declaration that "We are achieving endemicity", which is being used as a hashed together and misused proxy for herd immunity, but the virus becoming endemic means nothing of the sort. Just because it might now be endemic, doesn't mean it is benign, Malaria, Tuberculosis, Anthrax and Polio are endemic!

Sorry DJ but that's an ordinary thing to say about a fellow Australian I'm afraid no matter what side of the political fence one sits.

Sorry, it’s got nothing to do with political fences.
The guy is a degerative arsewipe of the highest caliber.
On his public face at least, he possesses zero positive moral and ethical values, whilst it is possible he could have some behind closed doors, I doubt it…

Nothing to do with his politics G2C; it's about his ongoing campaign to discourage vaccination and fight other measures put in place by governments of both persuasions to minimise the impact of COVID.  I think it's called karma.

Although I wouldn't wish harm upon Palmer, I find his actions and in particular his divisiveness quite reprehensible - and UnAustralian. He's not a team player. Well over 90% of Aussies have shown themselves to be team players through Covid, its a most impressive and unique characteristic of the Aussie culture.

It will be difficult for Palmer to garner sympathy for his present struggle as most folks see him as nothing more than a self-interested (narcissistic?) yobbo with too much money, and his struggles may well be of his own making.

Anybody who tries to whip up support amongst anti-vaxxers/maskers/mandates/lockdowners, plays footsie with guys like Kelly & Christensen, and then tries to hide a Covid diagnosis when he catches Covid is the lowest form of scum. If he'd been open about it and addressed its ramifications, maybe there might have been some redemption for him. Fair dinkum, even Trump took the vaccine and the booster and tried to persuade his followers to do the same despite earlier treating it as a hoax and pushing HCQ as a miracle cure.

I'm not sure that makes him better or smarter, maybe Trump was motivated in just the same way as Palmer, and could see his support literally dying off!

I really do not get how someone smart enough to become a billionaire can be so stupid, so therefore it must be wilful deception of their followers and that leaves them as the lowest of the low. I doubt either is better than the other!

It all reminds me a bit of the Orange people and Rajineesh, the primary difference is the business suits!

Trump actually went out over his skis when he told his followers at a rally they should get the vaccine and the booster like he did. They booed him and he backed off quickly and told them it was a personal choice and everybody should do as they wanted. This was a demonstration of what George Conway from the Lincoln Project noted about Trump's relationship with his followers: he was so successful because he was able to understand what they felt and he just reflected that back to them. He was a lightning rod for disaffection rather than a leader who is capable of persuading them to change their thinking. The vaccine "misstep" was a rare example of Trump misunderstanding what his followers felt. (That's not to say he was blameless in creating that attitude - he got that bandwagon rolling with his assertions about hoaxes and the like, but once it gathered momentum he was incapable of changing its course).

Here's another reason to vaccinate in order to minimise the damage Covid might do to us:
