Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020

Here's a graph for Jebbie, and Drew and his "1/3 hospitalized are vaccinated" shtick. It's for NYC, but I'm sure it applies fairly closely everywhere else.

Does this graph imply some people are neither? To me it looks like about 75% are unvaccinated and 10% are vaccinated.

The two will not add up to 100%. That is showing the number of people per 100,000 who are hospitalized both unvaccinated and vaccinated. Its not a percentage of total hospitalizations.

So best estimates as I can see from the graph is that appx 75 out of 100,000 unvaccinated people are hospitalized vs appx 10 out of 100,000 vaccinated people.
 
Saw on the news this morning of a new variant they're calling Deltacron. It's a combo of both Delta and Omicorn. And I saw a tweet about another variant in France. Gah!!!

Global health experts are casting doubts over reports of a new possible Covid-19 mutation that appeared to be a combination of both the delta and omicron variants, dubbed as "deltacron," saying it's more likely that the "strain" is the result of a lab processing error.

At the weekend it was reported that a researcher in Cyprus had discovered the potential new variant. Bloomberg News said Saturday that Leondios Kostrikis, professor of biological sciences at the University of Cyprus, had called the strain "deltacron," because of its omicron-like genetic signatures within the delta genomes.
 
What’s the point of it than?

Really? It clearly shows the massive increase in hospitalizations over the last few weeks. And that the increase for the UN is more than the vaccinated. The spread looks like it goes from about 5:1 to 7-8:1

A percentage graph would not show the Omicron increase of hospitalizations.

rufus- where did you find that graph? It would interesting to see the % change, to see if there is a separation as it looks.
 
What’s the point of it than?

To actually convey some useful information rather than obfuscate by looking at percentage of hospitalized people who are vaccinated. Since you really seem to be this dense:

Imagine that there was only 1 unvaccinated person in all of the US, and he is not hospitalized due to COVID. Then 100% of the people in the hospital due to COVID are vaccinated. Does that tell you ANYTHING about the effectiveness of the vaccine? No, it does not. Maybe there's only 1 of out of the 320M vaccinated people in the hospital - if so, then that's a pretty darn effective vaccine. But if there are millions, then maybe the vaccine isn't so good. Either way, it's still true that 100% of hospitalized are vaccinated.
 
Could it be just be a person with both viruses?

"Both" = the same virus.

I don't know, phisiologically, if you can be infected with two strains/variants of the same virus at the same time. Perhaps one of our clinical folks might know?


It could be a lab error, as no one else is reporting it and several are pointing out methodological flaws. It could be a person who was infected with both at the same time and they mutated together, but usually mutations come from a single virus and follow a single lineage.


A new variant with the infectiousness of omicron but the severity of Delta/previous would be... bad...
