Coronavirus 2019-nCoV

Dr. Fauci: "There is the danger that there will be so many people who are being isolated who are asymptomatic for the full ten days, that you could have a major negative impact on our ability to keep society running. So the decision was made of saying let's get that cut in half."

What's changed? The only thing that changed is the democrats favorability polls.

Bingo!! Polls are dropping, lets make is seem like we're doing something "for the people".

What would cause people that don't even need treatment to go to an emergency room just to see if they have Covid, taxing healthcare workers unnecessarily, and causing hospitals to beg people to stop doing that?

Terminal ignorance?

What's changed?

The astronomically infectious nature of this strain. The second I saw they cut the quarantine protocol I immediately assumed it was because of the fact that the original guidelines would have literally shut hospitals down. "The cure can't be worse than the disease."

You see, pandemic management is a fluid situation. For example, when the healthcare system is stable, you treat everybody with the best of your ability. When the system gets strained, people start sitting in the front lawn, propped up against a tree, gasping for breath.

Anybody walking into an ER asking for a Covid test can just mark it positive after sitting in the waiting room for 10 mins. Dumbasses.

I'm very curious though about this pediatric spike. I'd really like to know what symptoms they're presenting with.

Lol - exactly. I made the foolish mistake of going to a local Medic-clinic simply to get an anti-body test a few weeks ago. Previously they were testing for covid via a drive-thru outside the clinic. I did not know they had since changed that and were not only testing indoors now but treating covid sick people. I walked in there (wearing my N95 of course) for my scheduled appt. and witnessed a waiting room full of people sitting there with their heads in their laps. I immediately turned around and got the hell out of there. WTH was I thinking??? I was so mad at myself that I literally succumbed and drove myself to another place that still does the drive-thru thing and got the damn Fauci/Chinese nano-microchip inserted in my arm. Man I'm so tired of the s##t.

5 pediatricians answer every question about kids and Omicron


Real good article here! 100% CB approved! I won't paste quotes if those of you with children/grandchildren will promise to read it in its entirety!

Noper. Pointless blather...

This is exactly right! Idiots are going to the ER when they don't need to because our country has created such a fear of this flu-like virus. And, as mentioned, with a shortage of tests people are going to the ER to ensure getting the test. The local government here in San Diego has actually done something right for a change. They have two free at home test kits available for anyone at our local libraries. You simply go in and pick them up.

Yes, 100%, but I'm also guessing (not trying to put words in Kung Wu mouth, but there is a sizable portion of the populace that uses the ER for primary care. These are folks (almost always) mostly dependent on the federal government cradle to grave, or completely dependent on the government cradle to grave. They aren't interested in making appointments, they know the ER can't turn them away, and that's the past of least resistance.

If we eliminated THAT moronic sector (people and government) the hospitals would be very quiet places indeed.

Ok, I bit and will post some quotes. Bottom line, just like a cold or the flu, your child will get it and have limited or mild symptoms, recover and be just fine. Stop being afraid.

It depends where you are. Dr. Jennifer Lighter, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at New York University Langone Hospital in New York City, said she’s currently treating more children with the flu than with COVID-19.

“There are 50 pediatric hospitalizations in New York State—not New York City, state,” Lighter told Fortune. “Because it’s so contagious, Omicron cases are sky-high right now, in both children and adults, but children progressing to severe disease is rare.”

Dr. Katharine Smart, president of the Canadian Medical Association and a pediatrician in the remote Yukon territory of Canada, said she has yet to see a single kid sick with the Omicron variant.

“But it’s worth highlighting that not all kids are admitted because they have COVID; when they come in for something else, they’re automatically given a test. There’s an enormous amount of COVID out in the community, and, inevitably, in the places kids live.”

But on the whole, children who are infected fare better than adults, doctors say. Immune response comes in two forms: innate immunity, which humans are born with; and adaptive immunity, which humans acquire after disease exposure. Kids are better able to combat the coronavirus because their innate immunity is stronger than that of adults, Lighter said.

The health impact of coronavirus in children is similar to that of the flu, she added; in fact, the flu is more fatalin that age group.

Unfortunately I was afraid someone like you might do this when I just posted the link. That's what you get for having faith in the honesty of the community. Fox News has trained you well. I'll have to repost the article when I get some time quoting the valuable information inside in an unbiased fashion. It truly is a very sound article. It doesn't however paint the picture you attempted to portray... Denier.

How many kids are getting sick?


It depends where you are. Dr. Jennifer Lighter, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at New York University Langone Hospital in New York City, said she’s currently treating more children with the flu than with COVID-19.

But at Comer Children’s Hospital in Chicago, pediatrician Dr. Chidimma Acholonu has seen more children in the hospital in the past month and a half than throughout the entire pandemic.

“Younger kids are testing positive and having symptoms,” Acholonu told Fortune. “Teenagers in particular are on par with adults in terms of needing respiratory support.”

“There’s been a lot of attention paid to the idea that kids don’t get as sick as other age groups, but they can still get very sick and have enormous complications,” he said. “They’re at risk of long COVID and multisystem inflammatory syndrome, even with mild cases.”

The health impact of coronavirus in children is similar to that of the flu, she added; in fact, the flu is more fatalin that age group.

“While COVID certainly hits adults harder than children, in the aggregate, that doesn’t mean you don’t end up with very sick children,” Ratner said, adding that while the odds of severe disease for kids of all ages is low, it’s much higher for unvaccinated kids.

Okay, I went ahead and fixed it really quick. I told myself "No more than 5 quotes max!". I think this encapsulates the tone of the article. There are some really good tips inside on how to treat your child at home as well as signs to look for that indicate a child's oxygen levels are dropping like: “They suck in at the neck above the clavicle, between the ribs, and breathe quickly."

This article is a couple days old so it's not capturing a lot of the recent spike in pediatric hospitalizations. The main thing to take away from the article is that the risk of death is still very low in children 0-5, but that doesn't mean they can't/won't get quite ill. Again, a very informative article that should be comfortably consumed by all who care for children. Of course, anybody can make it political as MKR Denier Esq. just pointed out.

Cold, nothing you've ever posted has been unbiased.

Thanks for the summary.

Cold, nothing you've ever posted has been unbiased.

I love when people call others biased because they don’t agree with them. It’s a weird validation I guess to the real people that have biases.

Cold will literally avoid anything positive about this. He will go out of his way to avoid the less fearful stuff. He self-admitted that he’s biased because he said he’s only here to scare people straight and “overreact”. Came straight from the horse’s mouth.

He’s only able to go on with this because he has convinced himself in his own mind that he’s the one sane rational person and everybody else are loons. It’s a mindset that resonates well in the mentally ill.
