One of the questions I get asked a lot is about delta transmission through pets. According to my research they can be potential super-spreaders. What I have done personally is wrap my cats in a protective latex film to mitigate the effects.
A few people have asked me recently “Dr T, the health risk from omicron seems lower, why are you so afraid?” The risk of omicron is that we will no longer have the lowest case numbers in the OECD, which will cause sleep deprivation and severe mental health effects.
Making vaccinated people want to hide away because they’re scared for their babies lives is a sign of a successful information campaign in New Zealand. Hopefully it’s something we can expand to other viruses, making people aware of their risks is a good thing 👍
Decreasing fear of covid is something I’ve been concerned about. As we approach 90% vaxed in NZ people may start thinking they’ll “be alright” if they’re vaxed and catch covid. People need to remember even if you are doubled vaxed and boosted there is still >0% chance of death.
If my house is burning down and I’m trapped inside and my local fire station is shut down because there wasn’t enough vaccinated personnel, I would accept my fate. It is a sacrifice I would be willing to make to ensure the safety of other NZers i.stuff.co.nz/national/healt…
I was just having a heated argument with a colleague over the phone. When I quad mask i wear surgical -> cloth -> N95 -> P100. He was saying the correct way is cloth -> surgical -> N95 -> P100. What do you guys think? (there might not be a correct answer just personal preference)
There absolutely should be vaccine mandates in schools. If kids are anti-science (unvaccinated), school probably isn’t much benefit for them. They would be better off manufacturing portable air purifiers with HEPA filters to keep the vaccinated kids safe in the classroom.
Unvaccinated people should never be allowed on planes. I would rather sit next to a vaccinated person with covid than one of the dangerous unvaxed. You can be protected from covid with vaccines and boosters but no medicine can protect you from the dangerous beliefs of the unvaxed
The three greatest extinction events in history 1) Permian–Triassic extinction (global warming) 2) Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction (meteor impact) 3) SARS‑CoV‑2 (global pandemic) Why were we able to contain the latest event? We trusted the science.
I'm in bed shaking right now. Reading twitter makes me think some people will just never get it. Covid is the most dangerous threat to future of humanity we have ever encountered. There is no going back to "how it was before" the future is masks, boosters and lockdowns.
We need more heroes like this. However, I wouldn’t recommend engaging with them in the supermarket, mask offenders are prone to respond angrily. What I do is take a photo of them and then follow them out to their car and take another photo of their number plate, then report them.
I'm starting to question my 4 year old nephews allegience to the science. I just called him up to check if he would like to participate in the early stage vaccine trials for the 0-4 age group. He replied "what a vaccine?". It confirms once again why I wont be having children.
People have been asking what dangerous things the unvaxed do. I once had an unvaxed patient who I diagnosed with asymptomatic fatigue (via zoom). I told him he must stay in bed for 3 weeks to rest, he disobeyed my orders. He was ok in the end but it could have gone horribly wrong
This is why I love New Zealand, we are one of the few countries in the world that care about public health and will go to any length to achieve it. It’s a shame that supermarkets won’t require vaccine certificates I’m not sure where I will be able to shop safely for groceries.
Great to hear that workers will be fired if they refuse the jab. It's not so much about being scared of catching the virus (I'm fully vaccinated myself so I'm safe) It's more about just being around dangerous unvaccinated people who have anti-science beliefs.
One of my parents friends in Florida just emailed me saying “I’ve already had covid, should I still get the vaccine?” Absolutely you should Jeremy, it’s not so much about your immunity it’s more about confirming that you are pro-science and don’t have any dangerous beliefs.
