“there were no serious cases among first hundred or so infections”

That is very close to being true of the original COVID. Outside of the elderly, it has maybe a 1/1,000 death rate, so maybe 1/100 serious cases? Tops? The only guy I know who died supposedly from COVID had a heart attack 10 years early and was told he’d be lucky to live 5 more years. And 10 years later...he died “from” COVID.

It will require tens of thousands of cases to determine if Omicron is dangerous because COVID just isn’t a very dangerous disease!

On moral grounds Fauci is worse than Cavuto, as far as we know.

But from a purely aesthetic viewpoint, Cavuto is the more unwatchable.

The majority of the Omicron mutations are simply carry-forwards from its halfass merger of Beta and Delta in a long-haul SaF AIDS patient. The minority of novel mutations appear to be as described, weakening the genome.

Given that this variant is the dominant strain in Southern Africa, I’m calling b.s. on this. Just like the anti-5G conspiracy theories have an agenda (aiding the rise of China), and the anti-mRNA conspiracy theories have an agenda (aiding the rise of China), this too seems to have an agenda (treat Africa like Covid is a popularity contest rather than a virus that has seen citizens from America, Italy, the UK, China, and lets not forget the cruise ship passengers, unwelcome at the borders and ports of the rest of the world).

Insufficient numbers to be sure of anything, but you might be erring comparing "serious cases" with deaths. Not that we know what they meant by "serious cases!" -- could be hospitalizations, could be in the "bad cold" category... so it seems to be indeed milder than the original covid.

We'll know soon enough, surely within a month.

Does anyone ever watch Cavuto? He’s all over FOX and FOX Business. I refuse to watch him after he said HCL kills people. He and Fauci are two peas in a pod.

Come on mannnnnnn! Guaranteed safe, effective and any adverse reactions are “RARE” you unpatriotic, selfish, granny killin’ miscreant. Now, get your booster, denier.

I am older than Grannie with more comorbidities. I am 86 and can't find a covid vacinne that works.

I am not anti vax, just got one for Tetanus a few weeks ago, after being in the hospital for a blood clot caused TIA.

I have had previously a TIA and two strokes caused by high blood pressure.

Nobody needs a vaccine for covid more than me, but none of them work. -Tom

This variant is getting the folks mildly sick and less than COVID 19.

Fauci the 81 year old government worker is trying to get the American people afraid.

I have seen the college football games and the game itself is jammed packed with folks and then they ran out to field to congratulate the winners and they are not afraid of this varient period.

The doctors do not know what in the world is going on in medicine.

Anti-5G, the champion of silly BS.

That is because there are some real scientific people out there who are not just TALKERS like him. He is a blowhard who wants to have his face in the news everyday.

I know what you mean. So many of them are pushing these useless experimental drugs than don't work or prevent people from spreading the disease.

Right now it is questionable if they help keeping a person out of the hospital if they get Covid as opposed to an unvaccinated person who gets Covid.

About 9 months ago a doctor talked a friend of mine who had Covid and recovered, to get a vaccine.
Based on later information my friend resents making that decision. -tom

Is the high transmissibility Was going to be a benefit since it seems to come with very mild symptoms. It was going to out compete the other strains and turn the virus into something like the common cold.

Did Cavuto actually state that HCL kills people, or did he only report that it had been SAID (by some so-called expert) that it kills people?

Two different things; one is journalism.

I think he said it kills people. He was on a hysterical rant but I can’t remember 100%

I sure do wish that was something I did not feel in my gut.
