   Wow. I didn't realize the Dept of Homeland Security released this #COVID report to public in Jan 2024 and... I'm impressed . It's a good breakdown of what they know and aren't acting on: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/2024-04/24_0125_mql_sars_cov-2.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjL_ajYgt6GAxUESzABHZTYBM44ChAWegQIBhAB&usg=AOvVaw03-w8FIy5lBLvBj91cgs7n

     COVID-19 is more severe than seasonal influenza, evidenced by higher intensive care unit (ICU) admission and mortality rates.

     In the U.S., 29-34% of hospitalized patients required ICU admission, and 12.6-13.6% died from COVID-19.

     Bill repeated this.

     • COVID-19 also causes pneumonia, cardiac injury, kidney damage, pancreatitis, arrhythmia, sepsis, stroke,
     respiratory complications, and shock.

     SARS-CoV-2 weakens blood vessels in the lungs and is associated with
     hyperactive platelets, leading to ARDS.

     Clotting affects multiple organs and is present in 15-27% of cases.

     Some key admittance:

     INFECTIVITY

     Decreased threshold for infectivity has been modeled in newer variants, suggesting SARS-CoV-2 infection can occur from 100 virus copies of Omicron variant.

     TRANSMISSIBILITY

     As of 1/22/2024, COVID-19 has caused at least 774,075,242 infections and 7,012,986 deaths
     globally. In the United States 1,169,666 deaths have been confirmed. Cases and fatalities are likely underestimated.
