---------------------------------------
first time we've seen data on vaccination status of hospitalised covid patients in Gauteng

vaccination status of in-hospital patients (n=1351) public and private
total:1121+230
unknown : 814 ; 190
no : 286 ; 31
yes : 21 ; 9

general wards  ; ICU/HC

VE(hosp)=86% , VE(ICU)=46%(low numbers)

--------------------------------------------------------------------
In France the numbers have been inverting for a few months now (then again,
it's winter now over here)
Some regions show up to 76% vaccinated in ICU, despite 94%
vaccination status (12+yo)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
What the CDC in Europe reported today is 50% of the cases they've seen outside
South Africa have been asymptomatic, 50% have just presented with mild symptoms,"
says @ScottGottliebMD on Omicron. "The vaccines--seem to be protective against more severe disease."

the Delta wave
