Ok so how f**ked are we? Flurona and Delmicron (Deltacron sounds scary)

 

Apparently delmicron is ripping through Europe and US.

They're just coming up with new bullshit acronyms.

 

25 crore people have been reported to be infected by Covid during the pandemic and maybe hundreds of crores more cases have gone unreported.

Influenza typically infects 5-15% of the world every year, so that's several crore cases again.

 

It is IMPOSSIBLE that this is the first case where someone has had both Covid and flu at the same time. There must have been atleast thousands more.

I think with people getting Omicron and who have been fully vaccinated the symptoms are generally mild since doctors are saying it doesn't infect the lungs. I have two friends currently down with COVID in Kolkata and they had fever for a day and then they have been mostly fine barring one who is a little down with mild dry cough.

 

EDIT: Reading the news posted above by @Bird Bird Birdit's hard to know if Omicron is mild or it gets serious. Just wear your masks, stay indoors as far as possible and stay safe guys.

This thing spreads like wildfire it seems. But what I'm asking is how severe is it getting with fully vaccinated people?

Again, I'm not trying to undermine the seriousness of the situation. I have had COVID and so has my Mother who had to be hospitalized so I do know how quickly things can escalate with COVID.

With different news channels it's so confusing what to believe and what to filter out now.

In my personal opinion the only foolish thing Indian gover has done so far for this wave is the delay to roll out boosters for Elderly & Healthcare. 
 

So many vaccines just going to waste & they just sitting on it till the wave has actually arrived & rampant.

Vaccination for children should have started long ago but I guess government want those 50L vaxx a day figures.

There are also little to no restrictions on nationwide or statewide levels. Only see local restrictions in Mumbai, Pune etc.
People aren't even wearing masks anymore and there is little being done to enforce it.

They would have still achieved the regular vaxx figures irrespective if they had opened dose for children or boosters for elderly/frontline. 
 

They had abundant production within country & they went on to reduce it instead of ramping. 
 

I just hope this Mulyil guy who advised against boosters & children knows what he is doing. 
 

Irrispective of his advisory govt. went on to open it but too late.
