Coronavirus

I've had a pretty bad cold or maybe flu the last week. Tested negative for COVID luckily. Here in California they told me they have had a 4x increase in testing since before Christmas. With waiting in line and the testing itself it took me over 3 hours to get through. There had to have been 250 people in the line at the University of Redlands. And that was on Tuesday morning. I can't imagine what it would be after work, but I do see their parking lots full at that time. It was a nice day though. I got a sunburn waiting in the sun that long. Should have wore a hat.

I was tested for Covid and flu Monday. Negative. I have a sinus infection, which I had already determined. I am 0-6 on tests.

Hate sinus infections. I've had 2 sinus surgeries partly for a sleep apnea and partly for chronic sinus infections. It helped a lot. Before the surgeries I had a winter where I had a sinus infection for 4 months. It was hell. That's what lead me to using a neti pot fairly regularly. I use it daily when I'm sick and once a week maybe otherwise.
 
I think the Omricon peak will march downhill pretty quick after these huge jumps which is good.

Covid is going to end up being seasonal much like the flu in the long run - it won't go away, but am hopeful that immunity will continue to build throughout the population.

I hope so. Hopefully future mutations along with immunity built up from infection/vaccination it will become mild permanently, and this is the last pandemic this century!

Cases are skyrocketing and the positively rate is climbing which means we aren't detecting near the covid through testing that's out there. And the hospital rate is increasing... 466 on Monday and 530 today. ICU Occupancy has increased from 86.4 on Monday to 94.6 % today. Deaths admittedly are misleading as yesterday's dump of 44 was backlogged. Hope the variant is significantly less severe because we're seeing a lot more sickness 3x as much as last January.

Compare that with the start of last January:

Last January finished with cases dropping to the low 1,000s.
 
**** is ripping through Australia, 50 thousand cases in Melbourne today, thats just under 1 percent of the population in a day. Its also ripping through my work. 500+ staff off. 10 percent of my team has it, reckon it will be 20 percent by end of week. Fortunately it doesn't seem as nasty as the previous variants.

I assume we will all get it soon.

Is the Djokovic story as big a deal there as they make it sound here? It sounds like the country is up in arms about it.
