StormfanaticInd Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 5 minutes ago, dan11295 said: Am curious what the cases numbers for those age groups are vs the fall. i.e. Is it just simply because of a higher number of raw cases in that age group, or are a higher percentage of those age-specific cases actually in the hospital? "COVID-19 daily hospitalization data indicates that the large growth in hospitalizations in Michigan in March is occurring among younger age groups that have the lowest vaccination rates among the state population, according to inpatient data collected by the Michigan Health & Hospital Association (MHA). From March 1 to March 23, hospitalizations increased by 633% for adults ages 30-39 and by 800% for adults ages 40-49. Hospitalization growth rates decline as the vaccination rates per age group increases, with hospitalizations increasing by just 37% for adults 80 or older, of which 44% of the population are fully vaccinated in the state. The correlation between high vaccination rates and lower hospitalization growth rates shows the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine and how it protects from the risk of severe disease or hospitalization. The data also indicates that, although older adults still have a higher risk of hospitalizations, the percentage of hospitalized patients who are younger than 40 years old has doubled, showing that adults of any age are vulnerable to complications from the disease."

It's not about fear, it's about respect for others and for the fact that I'm sure the majority of those there aren't vaccinated and therefore spreading it. This will not stop until that crap stops.

Could be lots of new cases/hospitalizations though. Today anyone 16 and above can get the vaccine in New York State. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is a coincidence that we are seeing more youth get more sick. This surge should be brief but it could be potent if we are not careful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, that shows what kind of friend you are, willing to risk giving your friends a deadly virus because you won’t get vaccinated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaccines are literally going into arms right now at amazing rates. COVID will slow down a lot in the next few months. Because of the vaccine distribution, there's a huge advantage right now in preventing needless infections and deaths. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably doesn’t happen all that often anyway, they probably usually “have other plans.” Edit: I almost forgot to add, why do I need to justify the time I spend by myself?

You're the only person that regularly posts in this thread lately that's anti vax. You have absolutely no self-awareness. You're the odd-ball, not the rest of us. There is literally a worldwide public health campaign to vaccinate the population. ****ing weirdo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 This won't help vaccine hesitancy. First they lied about the effectiveness and now this. Europe is going to be quite a bit behind the US as this was one of their primary vaccines.
