With Omicron likely spreading here fast on top of the ongoing Delta wave, my advice to my personal (vaccinated) social network was... to avoid high-risk sports and appendicitis for a month or so. Not kidding. Hospitals already stretched-thin, more stress looks to be on the way.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1471159553224056832 …

I think a lot of unknowns remain, tbh. We only have a few weeks of data, a lot of open questions, and still a fairly big range of possibilities on the table. I really don't have any certainty really, but hospital overload seems to be a strong enough possibility to think about.

Would this be an argument against encouraging NPI’s. Ro of 2 and 4 are both exponential but 4 burns through faster. At least the ‘hospitals don’t work’ period sound be shorter.

I had appendicitis back in April. Felt really guilty taking up a hospital bed for 24 hours, but incredibly grateful to have had it removed.

the French Prime Minister found the solution and told it proudly in front of the press during a visit to a local hospital: in order not to overburden the hospital, the best solution is to avoid getting ill..
