How many are actually sick?

Not as if black/white/yellow fungus from INDIA has infiltrated our Sinkiestan shores, correct or not?

 

[Leongsam]

India's case numbers continue to plunge which proves that all the doomsday scenarios were just a load of scaremongering by the mainstream media and clowns like Fauci the liar and conman.

 

[sweetiepie]

I advise you to be vaccinated as the older you are the more likely it is that you'll die of Covid. However avoid the mRNA vaccines as the technology has yet to be proven for long term safety which is why the manufacturers have been granted a waiver on liability.

The same goes with flu. Many old folk die from the complications of flu which is why I get my flu shot annually.

KNN now my uncle leegreted getting mrna and wonder is it too late to change to Sinovac? KNN

they are used to irritate the fuck out of poor SES locals so that we migrate to malaysia

Rich are immune to black fungus?

Non-mRNA just leaves us with the CCP vaccine. Still need to wait for more data. Only the Indons claim it is very good.

mRNA Vaccines Are Not Unknown​

Researchers have been studying and working with mRNA vaccines for decades. Interest has grown in these vaccines because they can be developed in a laboratory using readily available materials. This means the process can be standardized and scaled up, making vaccine development faster than traditional methods of making vaccines.

mRNA vaccines have been studied before for flu, Zika, rabies, and cytomegalovirus (CMV). As soon as the necessary information about the virus that causes COVID-19 was available, scientists began designing the mRNA instructions for cells to build the unique spike protein into an mRNA vaccine.

Future mRNA vaccine technology may allow for one vaccine to provide protection for multiple diseases, thus decreasing the number of shots needed for protection against common vaccine-preventable diseases.

Beyond vaccines, cancer research has used mRNA to trigger the immune system to target specific cancer cells.

Just How Big Could India’s True Covid Toll Be?​

By Lazaro Gamio and James GlanzMay 25, 2021

Official counts​

26.9 million
Reported cases
307,231
Reported deaths
Data as of May 24

A conservative scenario​

404.2 million
Estimated infections
600,000
Estimated deaths
15 infections per reported case with an infection fatality rate of 0.15%

A more likely scenario​

539.0 million
Estimated infections
1.6 million
Estimated deaths
20 infections per reported case with an infection fatality rate of 0.30%

A worse scenario​

700.7 million
Estimated infections
4.2 million
Estimated deaths
26 infections per reported case with an infection fatality rate of 0.60%
The official Covid-19 figures in India grossly understate the true scale of the pandemic in the country. Last week, India recorded the largest daily death toll for any country during the pandemic — a figure that is most likely still an undercount.
Even getting a clear picture of the total number of infections in India is hard because of poor record-keeping and a lack of widespread testing. Estimating the true number of deaths requires a second layer of extrapolation, depending on the share of those infected who end up dying.
In consultation with more than a dozen experts, The New York Times has analyzed case and death counts over time in India, along with the results of large-scale antibody tests, to arrive at several possible estimates for the true scale of devastation in the country.
Even in the least dire of these, estimated infections and deaths far exceed official figures. More pessimistic ones show a toll on the order of millions of deaths — the most catastrophic loss anywhere in the world.

About this data

India’s official Covid statistics report 26,948,800 cases and 307,231 deaths as of May 24.
Even in countries with robust surveillance during this pandemic, the number of infections is probably much higher than the number of confirmed cases because many people have contracted the virus but have not been tested for it. On Friday, a report by the World Health Organization estimated that the global death toll of Covid-19 may be two or three times higher than reported.
The undercount of cases and deaths in India is most likely even more pronounced, for technical, cultural and logistical reasons. Because hospitals are overwhelmed, many Covid deaths occur at home, especially in rural areas, and are omitted from the official count, said Kayoko Shioda, an epidemiologist at Emory University. Laboratories that could confirm the cause of death are equally swamped, she said.
Additionally, other researchers have found, there are few Covid tests available; often families are unwilling to say that their loved ones have died of Covid; and the system for keeping vital records in India is shaky at best. Even before Covid-19, about four out of five deaths in India were not medically investigated.

A conservative scenario​

If the real number of infections is…​

15x higher
404.2 million
Estimated infections
Reported number of cases: 26.9 million as of May 24.

And the infection fatality rate is…​

0.15%
600,000
Estimated deaths
2.0x the current reported total of 300,000 as of May 24.
To arrive at more plausible estimates of Covid infections and deaths in India, we used data from three nationwide antibody tests, called serosurveys.
In each serosurvey, a subset of the population (about 30,000 of India’s 1.4 billion people) is examined for Covid-19 antibodies. Once researchers have figured out the share of those people whose blood is found to contain antibodies, they extrapolate that data point, called the seroprevalence, to arrive at an estimate for the whole population.
The antibody tests offer one way to correct official records and arrive at better estimates of total infections and deaths. The reason is simple: Nearly everyone who contracts Covid-19 develops antibodies to fight it, leaving traces of the infection that the surveys can pick up.
Even a wide-scale serosurvey has its limitations, said Dan Weinberger, an associate professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health. India’s population is so large and diverse that it’s unlikely any serosurvey could capture the full range.
Still, Dr. Weinberger said, the surveys provide a fresh way to calculate more realistic death figures. “It gives us a starting point,” he said. “I think that an exercise like this can put some bounds on the estimates.”
Even in the most conservative estimates of the pandemic’s true toll, the number of infections is several times higher than official reports suggest. Our first, best-case scenario assumes a true infection count 15 times higher than the official number of recorded cases. It also assumes an infection fatality rate, or I.F.R. — the share of all those infected who have died — of 0.15 percent. Both of these numbers are on the low end of the estimates we collected from experts.
The result is a death toll roughly double what’s been reported to date.

A more likely scenario​

If the real number of infections is…​

20x higher
539.0 million
Estimated infections
Reported number of cases: 26.9 million as of May 24.

And the infection fatality rate is…​

0.30%
1.6 million
Estimated deaths
5.3x the current reported total of 300,000 as of May 24.
The latest national seroprevalence study in India ended in January, before the current wave, and estimated roughly 26 infections per reported case. This scenario uses a slightly lower figure, in addition to a higher infection fatality rate of 0.3 percent — in line with what has been estimated in the United States at the end of 2020. In this scenario, the estimated number of deaths in India is more than five times the official reported count.
“As with most countries, total infections and deaths are undercounted in India,” said Dr. Ramanan Laxminarayan, director of the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy. “The best way to arrive at the most likely scenario would be based on triangulation of data from different sources, which would indicate roughly 500 to 600 million infections.”

A worse scenario​

If the real number of infections is…​

26x higher
700.7 million
Estimated infections
Reported number of cases: 26.9 million as of May 24.

And the infection fatality rate is…​

0.60%
4.2 million
Estimated deaths
13.7x the current reported total of 300,000 as of May 24.
This scenario uses a slightly higher estimate of true infections per known case, to account for the current wave. The infection fatality rate is also higher — double the rate of the previous scenario, at 0.6 percent — to take into account the tremendous stress that India’s health system has been under during the current wave. Because hospital beds, oxygen and other medical necessities have been scarce in recent weeks, a greater share of those who contract the virus may be dying, driving the infection fatality rate higher.

Explore the numbers​

If the real number of infections is…​

10x higher
269.5 million
Estimated infections
Reported number of cases: 26.9 million as of May 24.

And the infection fatality rate is…​

0.10%
260,000
Estimated deaths
0.9x the current reported total of 300,000 as of May 24.
Because there are two different unknowns, there is a wide range of plausible values for the true infection and death counts in India, Dr. Shioda said. “Public health research usually provides a wide uncertainty range,” she said. “And providing that kind of uncertainty to readers is one of the most important things researchers do.”

How we estimated case multipliers​

So far, India has conducted three national serosurveys during the Covid-19 pandemic. All three have found that the true number of infections drastically exceeded the number of confirmed cases at the time in question.

Results of India’s three national serosurveys​

INFECTIONS

CONFIRMED

226,713

5,490,000
74,300,000
13.5x
Dec. 18 to Jan. 6
10,400,000
271,000,000
26.1x
Note: The estimated over actual figure is calculated by comparing the number of estimated infections with the cumulative case total at the end of the serosurvey period.
At the time the results of each survey were released, they indicated infection prevalence between 13.5 and 28.5 times higher than India’s reported case counts at those points in the pandemic. The severity of underreporting may have increased or decreased since the last serosurvey was completed, but if it has held steady, that would suggest that almost half of India’s population may have had the virus.
Dr. Shioda said that even the large multipliers found in the serosurveys may rely on undercounts of the true number of infections. The reason, she said, is that the concentration of antibodies drops in the months after an infection, making them harder to detect. The number would probably be higher if the surveys were able to detect everyone who has, in fact, been infected, she said.
“Those people who were infected a while ago may have not been captured by this number,” Dr. Shioda said. “So this is probably an underestimate of the true proportion of the population that has been infected.”
Like nearly all researchers contacted for this article, however, Dr. Shioda said the estimator provided a good way to get a sense of the wide range of possible death tolls in India.
Jeffrey Shaman, an epidemiologist at Columbia University, said that the “slider,” or sliding calculator, is useful for “exploring the consequences” of different values for the infection fatality ratio and the ratio of the real number of infections to confirmed cases. Those are “the two measures that need to be estimated,” Dr. Shaman said.

How we estimated death rates​

Many of the infection fatality rate estimates that have been published were calculated before the most recent wave in India, so it could be that the overall I.F.R. is actually higher after accounting for the most recent wave. The rate also varies greatly by age: Typically, the measure rises for older populations. India’s population skews young — its median age is around 29 — which could mean I.F.R. is lower there than in countries with larger older populations.
There is also extreme variability within the country in terms of both infection fatality rate and seroprevalence. In addition to the three national serosurveys, there have been more than 60 serosurveys done at the local and regional level, according to SeroTracker, a website that compiles serosurvey data from around the world.

COVID-19 is the Number One Cause of Death in the U.S. in Early 2021​

In 2020, COVID-19 became the third leading cause of death in the United States, exceeded only by cancer and heart disease. However, that ranking includes months in early 2020 when the pandemic had not fully taken hold in the U.S. The death toll from COVID-19 has risen sharply, particularly since the November and December holidays.
Looking at the most recent data on deaths from COVID-19 and other causes, it becomes clear that COVID-19 is currently the number one cause of death in the United States. As of February 20, 2021, an average of more than 2,400 people per day died of COVID-19 in the U.S. during February 2021. That number is staggering compared to other leading causes of death and is nearly 20% higher than the next leading cause. Heart disease, which is typically the number one cause of death in the U.S. each year, leads to the death of about 2,000 Americans per day, and cancer claims about 1,600 American lives per day. The cumulative count of deaths attributed to COVID-19 in the U.S. is 497,648 through February 20, 2021, and is expected to exceed 500,000 in the next few days.
The chart above combines data on COVID-19 mortality rates from KFF’s tracker with data from Center for Disease Control (CDC) on weekly counts of death by jurisdiction and cause of death. COVID-19 deaths in the chart represent the average daily deaths thus far in February 2021 (as of February 20, 2021). Deaths from other causes represent the weighted daily mortality rate averaged over MMWR weeks 1-52 during the year 2020. This CDC dataset does not include deaths due to accidents (which, before the pandemic, were typically the third leading cause of death, after heart disease and cancer), nor does it include suicides (which were typically the tenth leading cause of death before the pandemic). To avoid double-counting, the dataset excludes deaths confirmed to have an underlying cause of COVID-19. The chart could, however, understate the severity of COVID-19 because some of those deaths may have been misclassified as other causes. There were many more deaths in 2020 than expected, and confirmed COVID-19 cases only accounted for about two in three excess deaths.
The current wave of COVID-19 has been described as more of a tsunami. The 3,076 COVID-19 deaths per day in January 2021 represent a 29% increase over December. December 2020 may have been the first month in which the COVID-19 mortality rate exceeded that of heart disease, though the margin is narrow and that data may still be preliminary due to reporting delays. In January 2021, the number of deaths from COVID-19 increased so rapidly that it has clearly become the number one cause of death in the U.S. These data are just one more way of illustrating the urgency of expediting COVID-19 vaccination. President Biden has developed a plan to increase vaccine supply, including through use of the Defense Production Act and by purchasing additional doses. In the meantime, other public health measures are crucial to reduce transmission. The number of new COVID-19 cases appears to have taken a turn for the better in the latter half of January, which could lead to declines in the number of new deaths several weeks from now. However, it is difficult to know what the future holds, particularly with the potential spread of new variants.

I haven't had the vaccine, just relying on my body's natural immunity plus observing hygiene, using common sense to avoid crowded place etc. So based on what you're saying, I should have nothing to worry about, yes? Don't sabo me ah, boss.

You are safe.
