“For two years, infections always preceded hospitalizations which preceded deaths, so you could look at infections and know what was coming,” Ashish K. Jha, dean of Brown University and a former Harvard health expert said during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday. “Omicron changes that. This is the shift we’ve been waiting for in many ways.”
The country has shifted, Jha said, to a place where people who are vaccinated and especially those who have received a booster shot “are gonna bounce back” if they become infected with the coronavirus.
“That’s very different than what we have seen in the past,” he said. “So I no longer think infections, generally, should be the major metric.”
Jha said it remains important that health officials track infections among non-vaccinated individuals “because those people will end up in the hospital.”
“But we really need to focus on hospitalizations and deaths now,” he said.

Pero ituloy nila yun limited access to everything for the unvaccinated. So no indoor dining, no airplane rides, pati pagpasok sa mall.ibawal na sa kanila.
They can't let others to do all the sacrifices, obligation to end the pandemic then they want same priviliedge.

Sa dami ng pinasukan ko establishment, 2 pa lang nag check ng vaccine card and ID, Ramen Kuroda pa lang, magkaiba ng branches. Sila lang yata may ganun policy sa lahat ng branches.
Kalahati Vaxcert photo lang sa cellphone ko tiningnan, wala na verify kung ako ba talaga yung nasa card.
kalahati wala nang check check.

The thing is, negosyo yan, if di ka vaxxed and they won't let you in, no business for them, at alam nila, vaxxed or unvaxxed, may dala kang covid, hindi naman mamatay sa loob, it will take days and they know contact tracing is just for show. So ung tumitingin ng cards, I bet if you don't have, they'll discreetly let you in.
I mean, pumunta na sa mall or area mo, Ikaw pa ang napiling pasukan, kailangan mo ng kita, itatakwil mo ba sya [emoji38]

had dinner last night at a japanese resto sa creekside mall makati
wala hiningi na proof of vaccine, no contact tracing forms, nothing
not even temperature check
Landmark sa Festival, lahat ng entrance wala hinihingi kahit food Court. Kahit QR code hindi na magpapa scan. Kahit nga check ng bag wala na rin. Pati basement parking, may hawak na mirror para sa ilalim ng sasakyan pero one second sulyap lang sa side ng kotse ayos na. Mukhang tinatamad na mga gwardya, mga display lang sa entrance. [emoji23]

november pa lang hindi na ako hinahanapan nyan. Sa supermarket nga dahil klilala na ako security guard wala ng lista-lista. Tapos sa mall or bank pag hinanapan ako qrcode sabi ko lowbat smartphone kaya pimapalusot pa din. Para-paraan lang yan hangang nasanay na sila sa akin
Majority mga alis ko ngayon naghahanap ako rush sale properties. The world has change.
Praying hard that I did not get it kahit na we were maskless sa car and she coughed several times![]()
The anxiety is killing me
Wala nga symptoms friend ko.
I hope I don't get infected talaga. I need a negative RT PCR test to be able to fly
Can you share naman what are these masks? I want to buy
NONE. I am totally shocked but it seems like people are NOT AFRAID of the virus here. They don't even follow quarantine rules e. No contact tracing
For example, my friend who I was exposed to, Dec 24 evening she got her positive result from saliva test. She went out agad to several drugstores to buy a test kit. Ako naman, nagkulong na agad sa room. Dec 25 she went out to take her mind off things. Dec 26 she called me if I want to go with her for drive thru swab (e di lalo ako na expose sa kanya!)
Here is what shocks me - my TITA who she works with, sinundo niya Dec 27 so they can go to work together and retest sa saliva. I told my senior Tita e di she will get exposed to her e magkasama sila sa carShe said naka mask naman sila pareho - but they are breathing the same air! Saka closed windows pa yan kasi heater! When my Tita came back she asked me if I wanna go out shopping
Naisip ko, what the heck, bakit ako magkukulong dito kung mga kasama ko normal na normal, so I said yeah drop me off sa shopping area (so I went but with mask of course)
Nung una naa asar ako sa mga tsikoteers who discourage lockdowns and quarantine but now I see the logic with Omicron. Dapat nga ata itigil na testing na weekly dito sa US kasi nakaka anxious lang. Saka karamihan naman asymptomatic or mild
What I think happened the previous years, the virus took out those vulnerables, those 'mahihinang nilalang'. Those who got infected and have comorbidities and very weak immune systems never survived, especially those who never got vaxxed. Now those of us left are the stronger ones, especially now that many are fully vaxxed. So kahit magka covid, hindi na severe ang tama.
