Following the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak - News and Discussion
Re: Following the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak - News and Discussion
^More people died of dengue fever than covid 19 in Singapore last year.
Vaccination is voluntary in China and many elderly chose not to vaccinate because they feared potential side effects more than they feared catching covid. The zero covid policy was a victim of its own success to some extent.

Scarier than malaria.

Omicron subvariant drives spike in cases and deaths in Portugal

A spike of Covid-19 cases and deaths in Portugal driven by the Omicron BA.5 subvariant in spite of warm temperatures is causing capitals across Europe to once again consider measures against a pandemic that has started to fade into public memory.
Portugal confirmed 26,848 new cases and recorded 47 Covid deaths on Wednesday – the highest daily death toll since 17 February, when 51 deaths from the disease were reported.
The trend contrasts with the pandemic situation in France, Germany, the UK and neighbouring Spain, where case rates have been declining for the last two months.
According to figures from the Portuguese health ministry, 1,455 people died from Covid as the country entered its sixth wave of the pandemic in April and May.
The latest report from the health ministry and the Ricardo Jorge Institute noted that “mortality from all causes is above the expected values for the time of year”, adding there had been “an increase in specific mortality from Covid-19”.

Shanghai to lock down 2.7 million, a week after easing Covid restrictions
District of Minhang to be closed on Saturday for mass testing, sparking fears the lockdown could be prolonged if cases found

Shanghai will lock down a district of 2.7 million people on Saturday to conduct mass coronavirus testing, city authorities said, as the Chinese metropolis struggles to fully emerge from punishing curbs.
The city eased many restrictions last week, after confining most of its 25 million residents to their homes since March as China battled its worst Covid outbreak in two years.
But the lockdown was never fully lifted, with hundreds of thousands in China’s biggest city still restricted to their homes and multiple residential compounds put under fresh stay-home orders.
The south-western district of Minhang, home to 2.7 million people, will be placed under “closed management” on Saturday morning and all residents will be tested, district authorities said in a social media post on Thursday.

Re: Following the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak - News and Discussion
But, supposedly, the main point of (most of) the lockdowns in 2020-21 was to restrict the spread of the virus in order to gain time to develop vaccines, to avoid overloading hospitals, and to protect the most vulnerable. This did not stop the virus (which has not stopped btw), but has made it more bearable to live with. Presumably.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Sat Jul 23, 2022 5:50 pm
CDC Data - lockdowns did nothing positive to prevent the inevitable spread of covid; not that most reasonable people needed said data to reach the same conclusion
(However, Chinese govt is still using lockdowns to contain the disease. We'll see how that plays out.)

Why, for instance, would countries with restrictions have over 10% more cases during the first year of COVID than countries without restrictions? There's more to this and I think apples have been compared with pears here.

Re: Following the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak - News and Discussion
I replied to this graph post when I first saw it and, like you, my first reaction was that it's bullshit. But then I saw that it's 'counties' and not 'countries'. I think you might have read it the same way I did.Kammekor wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 8:09 amThis picture raises more questions than it answers, to be honest.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Sat Jul 23, 2022 5:50 pm

I suspect it's still a bit of a pointless statistic though.
