| >you'd probably want a breakdown of what percentage are foreigners versus residents, and that's not available as far as I'm aware. That data is available here: https://www.covid.is/data Data on vaccinations is here: https://www.covid.is/statistical-information-on-vaccination Even though half of hospitalisations are vaccinated people, it is important to consider that we are now 71% vaccinated (84% for people over 12 years old). This means you have roughly a 1:25000 chance of ending up in hospital if your vaccinated, versus a 1:3000 chance if you're unvaccinated. In terms of infections the present wave is far worse than earlier waves, but our hospitals are handling it, and as a result we haven't needed as strict lockdown measures. I imagine most other countries will take the same approach, and as a result COVID will become a part of human society as a season flu. If you aren't willing to get vaccinated, I suggest you get COVID as soon as possible, as prognosis gets worse with age and COVID isn't going away. More so, as someone who has had both COVID and a vaccine, I strongly suggest just getting vaccinated. One day of feeling glum is far better than a multi-week flu and months of lingering effects (sensory, physical and mental). |
In regularly tested populations, the number of asymptomatic cases can be quite high (50%). Unless they are tested and identified they will never be counted.
