Omicron, Boosters, and Asymptomatic Spread

What I cited, which is what you cited, show that the majority of cases are symptomatic. If you are counting deaths not specifically attributed to covid but above background as asymptomatic cases, for one, those are much less than the number of cases, and two, a death is a symptomatic case. Death is a symptom.

Also, symptomatic kids are hardly uncommon. They may not wind up in the hospital all that often, but they get coughs and sore throats. Just look in the main covid thread! It’s not like people here who get pozzed and have kids have their kids not noticeably affected most of the time. Most people see symptoms in their kids when they’ve gotten sick themselves.

Any data on prior infection + 2 pfizer shots?

I wonder how much omicron protection I have. Will I still have symptoms if I catch it or will I be asymptomatic.

So that’s a no, you don’t have a citation… again

Please be kind. I think we’ve all managed to be civil thus far in this debate, why change that with name calling?

After two doses effectiveness was 9% and 13% respectively for BA.1 and BA.2, after 25+ weeks ,” the UKHSA said. “This increased to 63% for BA.1 and 70% for BA.2 from two weeks following a booster vaccine.”

Eligible 3 months after your 2nd shot in the UK and many other countries.

Get boosted as soon as you can! If in the US, just don’t take your paper card, I hear (tell 'em you lost it)

yes it is… and honestly this really has to stop.

I hope debates like this aren’t being extended in the hopes that people can be trolled into getting angry enough so the other side can score points with accusations of name calling.

When in doubt, assume it’s a reference to the past.

I think it’s quite unlikely, but I don’t agree or disagree because I haven’t seen any evidence one way or another. I’m not like you, I insist on having actual data before taking strident positions.

It’s also an extremely difficult question to examine that you’re stating as fact, and I’m interested in how you came to such a conclusion

Can this become the official JT COVID containment thread so the other one can be readable again?
