Many have Delta here and are calling it "a summer cold". Imho El Ocho does not lie. He believes the stuff he says. That makes debate possible. Contrast that with GWB...a disingenuous twat who doesn't believe his own bullshit.
This 100%. You can discuss things with El Ocho and he will accept sources and data if you back up your statement. GWB is a religious zealot and susceptible to all of the baggage religious fanatics possess. Oh, and he lies regularly.
Delta currently kills 1.7% of people with tested cases when the infected is not vaccinated. If your friends are not vaccinated then they are playing a serious game of roulette with their lives — and likely to be shortly featured in our COVIDIOTS thread saying it’s not a “little cold” and they should have gotten the vaccine shortly before being placed on a ventilator.
FALSE! https://nypost.com/2021/07/08/dont-buy-the-hysteria-the-delta-variant-is-actually-less-dangerous/ The seven-day average of new UK cases is above 25,000, the highest since late January, when the weekly average had just dropped from a peak of 50,000. But only 2,000 COVID cases are hospitalized, vs. nearly 40,000 in January. Daily deaths average under 20, vs. more than 1,000 in January. Similarly: Israel, despite a spike in Delta cases, is seeing deaths in the single digits over the last month. In other words, Delta looks to be less lethal than previous variants, despite media scare stories. This makes sound scientific sense: Evolution favors variants that are more contagious — but also ones that are less deadly because killing the host reduces the chances for spread.
Yes... once again.... the hospitalization and death rate among the vaccinated is nearly zero. The hospitialization and death rate among the unvaccinated is still high. Countries with very high vaccination rates like Israel are seeing few deaths. So get vaccinated.
Once again, you spread lies and misinformation. This is what you do. You're an expert at it-----along with every thing else.
