If you add up those up its way higher than people who had no pre-existing conditions.
It hasn't, it was handed to us by China.
Which happened to be the same sequence patented by Moderna in 2015.

Pure evil.
Seeing as the common cold is also a coronavirus, maybe we'll see something in the future.
Yes! Another vaccine. I can't wait.
I'm mostly vaccines at this point.
couldn't find the funny thread
Oooff, reporter wasn't expecting that lol
5/8 vaccine, 8" of pecker
Like "cancer" the "common cold" describes a myriad of diseases from various etiologies. Coronavirus make a single group of viruses that contribute to the common cold but there are many more.
You probably wont get a "cold vaccine" or "cancer vaccine" before we genetically engineer ourselves or have antibody treatments against the commonalities of any viral infection or failed cell DNA repair.
My gosh this. pisses me off to no end. The partisan bias makes me sick. Really? A Supreme Court justice making false claims to fit a narrative? I don’t care where a judge falls on the political/ideological spectrum, but it should never be so obvious. That goes for liberals and conservatives.
I looked yesterday and was unable to find her actual statements in context. Taking out of context, Twitter with a grain of salt, I agree. There are some things that are just facts and aren't really an argument about constitutionality or society versus individual risk and benefits. I expect the justice to know more about those types of things that I do. I expect them to have a more nuanced view and think about things I don't even know to ask.
But numbers of hospitalizations were probabilities of risk that aren't definite should be stated as such. They shouldn't be taken as absolutes for political points against each other

Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry was asked Friday how hospitalizations are counted, and two years into the pandemic, it’s still a work in progress.
“We're trying to tease apart people who are in hospital from COVID, people who are in hospital with COVID, and people who are in hospital because COVID exacerbated one of the underlying conditions,” she said.
“It's not easy to do that, except by going and looking at every individual chart.”
She said the province is working on making tracking hospitalizations more automated and less labour intensive.
Right now, B.C. is counting everyone in the hospital with a COVID positive test as a hospitalization.
That lumps in people who were checked into the hospital directly because of COVID-19 with people who tested positive during screening while receiving treatment for something else or prior to a surgery. People who catch the virus in the hospital as a part of an outbreak are also included in the count.
“So it is an overestimation of the burden that Omicron is causing, but it is a number that we get,” Henry said. “It's not 100% accurate every single day because it relies on people counting who's in every single hospital and then collating that information.”
Further complicating things, are the people who were admitted to hospital specifically because of COVID-19 but are no longer infectious and remain in hospital recovering from the ravages of the virus. They are not included in COVID hospitalization figures.
Henry said the provincial government also closely tracks hospitalizations after a confirmed PCR test to measure the severity of the illness.
She said daily hospitalization statistics released to the public are a “composite” of those two data streams. Health officials across Canada are still trying to figure out the best way to fully understand the impact of Omicron, Henry added.
Health Minister Adrian Dix said Friday the province’s 9,229 base hospital beds are currently at 95.1% capacity. The 2,333 surge beds added for the pandemic are at 25% capacity.
Dix called the figures “not surprising,” noting pre-pandemic, B.C. ran its base bed capacity at 103.5% during the winter flu season. There are also 510 base ICU beds operating at 89% capacity and 218 surge ICU beds operating at 11% capacity.

I'm posting this again because it's a big deal. This entire system, which may be the largest in the state, is shutting down the OR for anything other than emergencies because of staffing issues caused by early retirements, people taking travel assignments, and omicron/Covid infections along with the floors being maxed out with people being hospitalized. A few of the Bon Secours hospitals are doing the same.
It's getting ugly out here.
