Three new cases of blood clots after vaccination in NorwayOSLO (awp international) - In Norway, three young people developed blood clots or cerebral haemorrhage after being vaccinated with the vaccine from the Astrazeneca company. As the Norwegian health authority Folkehelseinstitutt announced on Saturday, all three work in the health sector. It is now being investigated whether there is a connection between the vaccination and the blood clot. "Something like this is very rare, but very serious," said Steinar Madsen of the Medicines Agency, the Norwegian broadcaster NRK.
In addition, several cases have been reported in which young vaccinated people had skin bleeding or bruises, said Sigurd Hortemo of the Folkehelseinstitutt. This could be an indication of a low number of blood platelets (thrombocytes), which in turn could trigger internal bleeding.
People under the age of 50 who have been vaccinated with the Astrazeneca active ingredient in the past two weeks are now asked to watch out for side effects and to see a doctor if they bleed or bruise.
So far, 121,820 doses of the British-Swedish vaccine against the coronavirus have been administered in Norway. On Thursday, the health authority stopped distributing the Astrazeneca vaccine after a person in Denmark died of a blood clot shortly after being vaccinated. So far, however, the Danes have not been able to establish a clear connection.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) had also stated that there was no noticeable accumulation of thromboses in connection with the vaccination./sh/DP/mis

- Moderna and pfizer hadn't any.
So far.grafician - To be fair AZ has had any either. A connection has yet to be identified.monospaced

Germany, France, Italy pause Astra Zeneca

Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly from Ireland tweeted:The decision to temporarily suspend use of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine was based on new information from Norway that emerged late last night. This is a precautionary step. The National Immunisation Advisory Comm meets again this morning and we’ll provide an update after that

- You probably saw it on HN - there was a correlation between poor reviews of smelly candle products on Amazon with coronoid growth across America last year.Nairn
- Nope, on twitter, I also posted the source bellow the images, I always do.grafician
- The thing with the candles that too is a sign yes lolgrafician
- I meant you probably saw what I was referring to on HN a while back, not this post here.Nairn
- that was fun :D

I guess running numbers to reach some broad estimates is something of hobby of mine so i decided to estimate how many people actually had covid.
Case Fatality Rate of California is at 1.5%. This means that of all tested AND positive cases, the 1.5% perished. This obviously doesn't reflect all positive cases as many people with mild or no symptoms never got tested or had no access to testing. This means that the ACTUAL CFR of 1.5% is lower. How much lower?
A number of papers point to case fatality of 0.5 to 1%. For the sake of our exercise we'll use California CFR of 1.5%, optimistic CFR of 0.5% and conservative mid-point value of 1%.
If we use death count as reported by each state and CFR, we can calculate ACTUAL number of covid cases. YES, i get it, it IS a broad over-generalization.Using optimistic CFR of 0.5%:
In US at 30mil cases and 550k deaths, CFR is 1.8%. This means that if you are an optimist and take the low end of CFR (0.5%), there are 108mil ACTUAL cases (35% of US population).
For California with 3.6mil cases and 56k deaths, CFR is 1.5%. This means that optimistically there are 10.8mil ACTUAL cases (26% of Cali population).
For NY State with 1.8mil cases and 49k deaths, CFR is 2.7%. This means that optimistically there are 9.7mil ACTUAL cases (50% of NYS population)Since i live in NYC, we can take closer look here.
Brooklyn: 225k cases, 9.4k deaths (CFR 4.2%) --> ACTUAL case number is 1.890m (!). This is 86% of Brooklyn population.
Queens: 225k cases, 9k deaths (CFR 4%) --> ACTUAL case number is 1.800m (!). This is 82% of Queens population.
Manhattan: 115k cases, 4k deaths (CFR 3.5%) --> ACTUAL case number is 805k. 50% of Manhattan population.
Bronx: 160k cases, 6k deaths (CFR 3.75%) --> ACTUAL 1.2m. 86% of Bronx population.If you were to take very conservative 1% CFR, the NYC numbers would look as follows:
Brooklyn: 225k cases, 9.4k deaths --> ACTUAL case number is 945k. This is 43% of Brooklyn population.
Queens: 225k cases, 9k deaths --> ACTUAL case number is 900k. This is 41% of Queens population.
Manhattan: 115k cases, 4k deaths --> ACTUAL case number is 400k. 25% of Manhattan population.
Bronx: 160k cases, 6k deaths --> ACTUAL 600k. 43% of Bronx population.I don't know about you, but the future is looking bright in my eyes.
- Popular pastime these days.Fax_Benson
- Since you wrote this yesterday, there have been 400,000 more cases in NYC. Fact. Also, your math is stupid af.monospaced
- mono, unlike you, i don't read the unicorn news.pr2
- You don’t know what I read. But I know your math here is stupid afmonospaced
- even my 5yo uses better arguments than you.pr2
- https://i.imgflip.co…drgs
- That's not an argument. And your math is atrocious here.monospaced
- YOU are the one who thinks that 400k new cases materialized overnight in NYC. It seems your comprehension of the most basic numbers is abysmal.pr2
- Nope. I just took the current total and subtracted the incorrect total you posted here and the remainder is 400k. It’s actually basic math and ...monospaced
- I just happen to be incredibly talented at mathematics. Both rudimentary and advanced types. Your math is abysmal.monospaced
- You’re taking the deaths and multiplying them by 100 to get actual case counts. That, sir, is stupid af math.monospaced

Brazil is on fire!
"25 of 27 Brazilian state capitals have ICUs capacities between or above 80%, 19 are higher than 90% capacity. #P1 variant is 2-2.5x more contagious."

"It's a humanitarian crisis propelled by the ruling party and the president of Brazil. It's purposeful, willful and likely genocidal. This is Hague material." - a comment
- 3rd wave started here too, ICU is full, people again starting to ignore the quarantine rules...grafician

After an investigation the EU has concluded that there is no connection between the AZ vaccine and blood clotting.
- All suspensions lifted.monospaced
- EU is not doing herself any favours at the moment with all this shit. I'd be curious to know what the Swedish gov't thinks of it all. UK's been quite vocal.Nairn
- worth a read, especially the insight into why the use of the vaccine was suspended ...
http://www.eureferen…Bluejam - ... and it rightly points out "Neither the EU nor its members are our enemies. We can, therefore, do without the bellicose rhetoric"Bluejam
- x single digit deaths versus y thousandfold deaths from covid in z weeks time seems like a bit of a stickigng point.Nairn
- I know of a few older Italians who are supremely unamused by the lacklustre vaccine roll-out over there.Nairn
- This is a good thing. It isn't causing blood clots as some believed (for no truly good reason). Let's be happy.monospaced

JUST IN: Germany's Health Minister Jens Spahn says there are not enough vaccines in Europe to 'stop a third wave'
- Depends on the country. In UK, 35% had it. In Italy 33% and France 28%. In Germany only 18%. So yeah, fuck you Germany,pr2
- ^they have different demographics so the percentages are hardly comparable, not to mention there aren't enough vaccines to go aroundgrafician
- True. The numbers are a starting point o know more-or-less where one stands. At 35%+, vaccines (or their lack) are of secondary concern.pr2
- UK made a deal with AZ 3 months in before the EU so they got the first batches quickly = 35% vaccinated, while the EU barely got 50% of the dozes promised so...grafician
- Not to mention the recent AZ hold-up that wasted at least a week...
So yeah, we're in the 3rd wave as we speakgrafician - We've got only 3% vaccinated, we're winning :(OBBTKN
