It's a problem for my wife, she can barely handle endemic pneumonia, takes her out for a month. But maybe the continued measures at school will help stop the kids from bringing that home every fall. Endemic flu + pneumonia + covid might just prove too much.

We're just swinging up again, numbers for Ontario

On Saturday, 552 cases were in people not fully vaccinated or had an unknown vaccination status. There were 137 cases in fully vaccinated people.

The province says 212 people are in hospital due to COVID-19, including 130 people in intensive care. Of those 130 people, 123 are not fully vaccinated or have an unknown vaccination status. Seven are fully vaccinated.


No clue if you can look at this way, yet that one day sample suggests you're 4 times less likely to get symptoms (enough to get tested) when fully vaccinated, 137 vs 552, and 17 times less likely to end up in ICU, or nearly 95% protection from getting to the brink.


Now is there any correlation between people reacting badly to the vaccine (developing fever, lung issues) and being more at risk when catching covid / getting more severe effects, despite being vaccinated?

I think generally vaccine side-effects have been inversely correlated to the probability of severe Covid, that is, younger people and women report them at greater than average rates.

Not sure if that would apply to people suffering from immune hypersensivity. But even then how someone might react to an intramuscular antigen might not be the same as encountering it in the nasal epithelium.
