    You’re spreading disinformation. This one is not less severe. I know a couple of people who were hospitalized with this strain, and everyone else I know who’s gotten it were knocked on their ass.

      By all means, I’d love to see your data.

      Not sure why you’d bring anecdotes into this?

        Because the government intentionally stopped counting Covid cases, and asked hospitals to stop reporting data. Outside of waste treatment data, anecdotal data is sometimes the best we can get.

          I literally work in healthcare. I’ve seen our patient data. There’s no COVID increase.

          Now we have one anecdote against another… uh oh?

            It’s a good comment, and points out that the theory it’s become less lethal as it goes on has been debunked.

            Covid numbers going down is due to the government refusing to count, and asking healthcare providers to stop providing Covid information.

            So unfortunately we’re left with anecdotal info, and data from waste treatment facilities.
