@apsmunro Thank you. I hate the fear mongers on Twitter-and they never say “sorry, I see now I was a bit off on that analysis/prediction.” Why do ppl always want to blame vaccines? The mind boggles.

@UpupaEp55949188 I understand that SARS1 and 2 are different viruses, but maybe there remains a speck of hope…https://t.co/zndU4BKC29

[Sunnee @sunny_simoned]

@dmanning77 @Gab_H_R Sure, so we’ll assume that all subjects are Covid+ in future clinical studies 👍🏻😉

[Sunnee @sunny_simoned]

@Gab_H_R Is there clustering of cases? Why are they taking so long to comprehensively exclude toxicological causes? If it’s Covid-related, why only now? Variant? The report states ~20 Covid+ and 19 co-infected…and the others? Have they had Covid previously?

[Sunnee @sunny_simoned]

@dmanning77 @Gab_H_R That’s great, but where are the controls of hospitalised patients that were/remained Covid-neg?

[Sunnee @sunny_simoned]

@dnpwwsp @wshalhoub929 @EricTopol Seroprevalence in some provinces (including Gauteng) we as high as 80% in 20-30 year olds. Considering O is in the beta lineage, this Most likely played a role in “the milder” omicron seen in these areas.

@tori_saylor I’m sorry this happened to you. Do you know how you got it?

[Sunnee @sunny_simoned]

@Brownskinned06 I’d like to know from those who have had covid, how did you get it? Did you take your mask off? Do you know how you got it? No judgement.

[Sunnee @sunny_simoned]

@hivepi This graph/these data don’t add up for me, at a minimum admissions should match case numbers surely?

[Sunnee @sunny_simoned]

@hivepi How come increases in admissions always superseded an increase in cases? Is it that cases were confirmed after hospital admission? And if so, why?

[Sunnee @sunny_simoned]

@business Could it be that person across hall got it before arriving in hotel? It was already global and not inconceivable that both individuals contracted it uniquely during travels, prior to hotel arrival?

[Sunnee @sunny_simoned]

@SVictor70973566 @DrEricDing Vaccinated individuals can still spread the virus, albeit a reduced chance. Lateral flow tests before boarding and upon arrival is the only logical and doable way of reducing the spread.

[Sunnee @sunny_simoned]

@sailorrooscout 👇🏻 is not correct. The original report stated rather vaguely that “most of the 35%” were half vaccinated. It makes no specific statement re fully vaxxed, but subtly implies that there are some fully vaxxed hospitalised. This is indeed grim considering vax stats.

[Cesar @Fc2300]

@desmondd1984 @sailorrooscout 35% are partially vaccinated, not fully. There is no fully vaccinated currently in the hospital.

[Sunnee @sunny_simoned]

@harryagapidis @CT_Bergstrom Fully vaccinated passengers that are transitting via the NL do NOT require ANY test to board plane.

[Sunnee @sunny_simoned]

@SAGREATAGAIN1 @MicheM3_ @News24 I wouldn’t say that. But 72 h makes very little sense.

[Sunnee @sunny_simoned]

@jimalkhalili Infuriating. People that don’t trust in science but then when they get sick they rush to hospitals and demand we inject them with our medicine and stick pipes down their throats so that they can live another day only to critisize and refute the very reasons they are still alive

[Sunnee @sunny_simoned]

@MicheM3_ @News24 …which also means that there are people getting on the plane that are infectious. And when airlines, like #KLM don’t ensure compliance with mask mandate on route…no need to say more.

@thesuku @AdHabb And she continued with killer facts

[Sunnee @sunny_simoned]

I’ve never understood why #travelban allows travel for funerals but not for births or weddings etc. People/families need each other’s support while they are alive.
