10/ Finally, some of the COVID infections may actually still be Delta rather than Omicron, which would also imply a lower hospitalization rate for omicron itself So based on early returns, it does seem that 3% or fewer of Omicron cases will be hospitalized That could be a lot

11/ The hospital mortality rate for COVID was 29% during the awful March-April 2020 period, and has come down to 18% since with better protocols and less overwhelmed staff But if hospital capacity falls as cases rise, it could get bad CDC action today helpful given omicron

12/ Back of envelope- If Omicron surge and fall takes place over the next 6 weeks, could see something like 1.2M NYers infected, maybe 400,000 diagnosed Even a 3% hospitalization rate would mean 12,000 hospitalizations (more than all NYS empty bed capacity rn), over 2,000 deaths

13/ That's a far cry from Mar-Apr 2020 when over 25,000 perished, but is what you might expect from a bad influenza season (which we might have as well this year) As always, we need to get boosters in arms (esp nursing homes), N95 masks for high risk, and try to ride it out 🙏

There are so many Omicron #'s floating around, it’s overwhelming. In today’s 🧵,I’ll try to simplify things with a couple of rules-of-thumb that I’ve found useful. I’ll be interested in hearing if this helps or confuses more – it might hinge on whether you’re a chess fan.(1/25)

As a physician and public health person I find this ruling very disappointing So many Americans have been poisoned with vaccine misinformation Mandates work to protect them and those around them This ruling will mean more suffering, more deaths, and more overwhelmed hospitals

this is an absolutely insane admission but tracks across the nation. they beefed the crime wave narratives in collaboration w/ local news, and now that the elections are over, they will tell you that it was a lie and that they are doing a great job.

Great news everyone, "America's Crime Crisis" (trademark Fox News) is over! All it took was Election Day eliminating the perceived political benefit of talking about crime all the time, go figure. mediamatters.org/fox-news/foxs-…

A heart-breaking moment saved in an SS picture of deportations of Hungarian Jews at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. It was taken 79 years ago, most likely in late May 1944. A little child found a dandelion in the grass and is handing it or showing it to an older boy. All the people in

So divide 0.52 by 1.52 and it’s closer to 30% than 70% (significant difference) + those added funds are used to support mission critical infrastructure to allow the research. Also the exact indirect cost rate is negotiated between the research institute or university and the feds
