A study by Oxford University says a vaccinated healtcare worker has 251 times more of the virus than an unvaccinated patient that tested positive. How's that for data?

99.98% survival rate for those infected.
quote:
Directly from the CDC
Total Covid cases: 37,996,672
Total Covid deaths: 628,000
Total death rate: 0.016
Which means that the Total Death Rate for the reported cases of Covid is 1.6%, so the 99.98% being quoted all over this board is incorrect. This is simple math.
1% of 38,000,000 is 380,000
2% of 38,000,000 is 760,000
628,000 is 1.65% of 38,000,000
.0165% of 38,000,000 is 6,270
For the oft quoted 99.98% survival rate to be accurate approximately 380,000,000 people in the US would have to be and/or been infected by the virus, which is approximately 50,000,000 more cases than the actual population of the US according to the latest census.
The correct number is 98.35% survival rate given the numbers quoted above.

It's a public health emergency. Nothing weird about asking people to get vaccinated or a negative test so they don't spread the virus. Don't like those options? Then stay home. Actually very logical.

Why don’t the restrictions apply to tailgating if It’s such a public health emergency?

It's a public health emergency
And when death are overwhelmingly old folks with multiple co-morbidities? That's an emergency for everyone?
What about regular flu, which kills 40-80,000 Americans EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Why isn't that an emergency, every single year?

Ask Obama and Pelosi is they think Covid is a problem. Obama just had a large, maskless birthday party, and Pelosi, just had a large maskless donor function.
Rank hypocrisy.

Here's some hypocrisy for you....Trump telling everyone they don't need the vaccine meanwhile secretly getting the vaccine.

The correct number is 98.35% survival rate given the numbers quoted above.
And for folks under 65 years old w/o multiple co-morbidities, the survival rate goes much, much higher.
The survival rate of young, healthy people is way, way, way up there, way past 99%.

Funny how that darn virus can morph from public health emergency to a nothing-burger whenever it wants.

Just quit your bitchin and watch it at home. Or nut up and get the vaccine.

I'm merely advocating for the freedom of people to make their own medical decisions, and not have their access to facilities limited if they don't do as they're told by an overreaching gov't.
All for a virus with a 99.5+% survival rate.

None were drunk or on drugs. Does that give me the right to support putting restrictions on your driving? Like say a rev limiter to prevent you from being able kill me when you are driving?
Wow, that is the dumbest thing I have ever seen on TD

That isn't what the study found at all. If you had bothered to read the actual study or the abstract of the study instead of the comments in the forum you linked to, you would know that.

Viral loads of breakthrough Delta variant infection cases were 251 times higher than those of cases infected with old strains detected between March-April 2020.
The delta variant has 251 times the viral load of the previous variants.
