[DAFUG] Omicron cases will be allowed to recover at home, community care facilities from Dec 27

[AZE]

It was on a TV interview recently with a pro from NUS. I am just stating what he said and not making up story.

“as the virus mutate, it will try to stay in the human body as long as possible without causing damage to the body. Because of the human die the virus also die. This is based on Darwin’s theory of evolution. Therefore it is of the virus interest to adapt to human body not creating deadly conditions.”

see any virus expert here can verify this theory but I find his explanation very logical.

The virus don't actually care if they would kill a person.
Evolution ish always towards
1) Reproduction
2) Immortality

In the process they could kill a person, it does not matter too much to them.
It ish far faster to do 1) by spreading to more ppl than it ish to do so within a single person. To do so they will evolve towards higher transmission capability.
Eventually more and more ppl gets resistance and immunity against the virus, sho they evolve towards immune escape for self preservation in order to buy time to reproduce more.
Then assuming the virus ish still as deadly as they really do not care if they will kill a person, if the population started to dwindle, they will then evolve towards being milder.

Evolution towards being mild ish the last stage.
Current with Omicron we are in the middle, we are just over the peak, but Covid ish far from over.

And Omicron ish by no way that much milder than Delta, it ish actually ~90% of Delta to a covid naive person, they appeared mild simply because most of the affected population hab tons of resistance from vaccination/infection or both. SA was fresh exit from Delta wave, and for endemic UK just 1-2 weeks ago, their population sampled covid antibodies level ish 95%. And despite that high a level of community resistance, they are still have massive spikes in covid and a slight rise in hospitalisation and deaths.

Looking at the number of imported omikun cases, I not surprised the hospital and NCID beds many occupied by them.

mild does not mean let it spread free for all, when it hit critical mass of infected people, death and hospitalizations cases will spike

What he meant is, omicron infection doesn't cause as severe a disease as previous variation. Some said it like a bad flu which just need the usual supporting care to recover.

it still will hit the old and weak hard even they had 3 jabs

Some theories of it being mild is due to Omicron infection happening mainly in the upper respiratory system instead of deep in the lung like the previous variants. Hence less need for oxygen, less need for respirator, less hospitalization, less death.
Actually, again in theories, the covid naive will have better immune response against omicron, since their innate immune system first see the virus and will launch a broad base defense against it.
Previously vaxxed or infected, their immune systems are primed for the antigen from the previous variants. And due to OAS, their immune system will continue produce antibodies (target for previous variant) which we all know will do little to nothing for Omicron.

As you said, old and weak are usually associated with compromised immune system. Even our late ah lao also got pneumonia.
3 jabs is another thing that can be controversial which i will not comment further.

hopefully anti vax scums will be so scared all go vax now

Well unlike before, where the bulk of the vax community could provide ample protection for many ppl including the unvax, now the spread of Omicron ish rike double Delta rate and breakthrough rate should be close to ~50% within the community.
There ish no escape this time, Delta was hard enough to hide from, for Omicron there ish no escape unless they really gosh hide alone in a desolated uninhibited island/mountain.

lulz as if virus got herd mentality ??

UK data? Need to factor in the effect of winter. Similar to Denmark, vertical spike in cases.
For us in tropical sinkieland, if we choose to hide in man-cave and malls, we'll see the same outcome.

kowtow to bloomberg amdk




who is ruling singapore actually

 

[fs_lim]

If like flu, then why so many jab

Because many still go for the yearly flu jab before covid was a thing?

 

[luffy789]

so healthy unvax and kids that are strong against delta can now get free natural vax. Oh wait no kids must take vax now

UK already hab spike in cases since before Omicron from Delta, but Omicron spike it up way higher.
Anyway school reopening, WFH ending.
People would have tons of fun squeezing in public transports except those that could afford cars.

Be wary, but dont get too hung up on the rate of transmission.
Stay healthy, stay active.
An optimal immune system is still the most important regardless vaxxed or unvax, young or old.
