    Rubbish. I know of fit young healthy people who were wiped out by COVID and spent days in bed, hardly mild.

    Hopefully the initial indications about the new variant and if so, it could become the dominant variant and be an end to all this bullshit.

    Yes, I'm aware that most of those identified so far have been in the 20 to 40 age range. Also, it can take time for severe illness, requiring hospital admission, to develop, which is why we need to collect more data and do more research.

    The picture should become much clearer over the next few weeks. And even if it does turn out to be as severe as Delta, there is high confidence that the current vaccines will have some impact, especially against serious illness. Also, if necessary we can develop and manufacture adjusted vaccines, targeted at Omicron, in around 3 months, so it is highly unlikely, even if worst case scenario, that we are back to square one.

    Not really rubbish is it. I said normally. Fit and healthy younger people NORMALLY get milder symptoms. You only have to look at the breakdown of the deaths to see it is skewed to those that are older and have other issues

    Who said anything about deaths? We're talking about symptoms aren't we? The death figures are complete bolllocks as the vast majority have nothing to do with COVID.

    There will always be people who try find the negatives in everything. Who would rather spread fear than give hope. How about trying to embrace this police news eh rather than poo pooing it?

    ignore the deaths then, even though they come from the symptoms and look at those in ICU especially pre jab. Majority are/were older and those with other issues

    Did you see the other month when an Australian state reported its first COVID death in months? Due to the stupid WHO criteria it had to be reported as a COVID death.... despite the man being shot 3 times.

    nice change of topic. So back to the fact that normally younger people have less severe symptoms

    do you have a link for this? I am smelling some fake news here. We don't follow WHO guidance why would they?

    also after taking a look at the WHO guidance;

    3. GUIDELINES FOR CERTIFYING COVID-19 AS A CAUSE OF DEATH
    In view of COVID-19 it is important to record and report deaths due to COVID-19 in a uniform way.
    A- RECORDING COVID-19 ON THE MEDICAL CERTIFICATE OF CAUSE OF DEATH
    COVID-19
    should be recorded on the medical certificate of cause of death for ALL decedents where
    the disease caused, or is assumed to have caused, or contributed to death.

    if someone did actually put covid on the death cert, it was filled out incorrectly by the GP or who ever did it.

    Director-general of the country's Health Ministry, at a briefing said.

    "The clinical criteria will continue to be guided by [World Health Organization] definition, which is basically to report any death where the person had an acute COVID-19 infection regardless of what the cause of death might be,"
