I am aware of this concern and share it. I also agree that the risk benefit ration of being vaccinated is probably off for healthy younger people. Nonetheless I think this is a cool technology.

That'd be green beans. In Germany they are aptly named "Brechbohnen" which can be interpreted as "vomiting-beans".

In my opinion there is truth to both sides here, as is the case in most arguments.

While the current vaccines against COVID-19 sadly did not fulfill the hope of being sterilizing and thus being capable to eradicate COVID-19, they sure help prevent many cases of severe illness and hospitalizations as well as deaths especially for the elderly. So I think it does make a lot of sense to get vaccinated if you are older or have some medical condition that makes COVID-19 especially risky to you.

On the other hand it is equally true that the vaccines have been developed at an incredible speed and they are based on a completely new technology, at least regarding tests on humans. Typically vaccines need 5 to 10 years for development 1. Being worried about the safety of this new vaccines is not unreasonable, especially considering that there have been a lot more reports about adverse side effects than you typically get for vaccines. So at least to me it is understandable as well if especially healthy younger people not really at risk, are reluctant about getting vaccinated.

On an unrelated side note: I think the mRNA technology is freaking cool and I hope we can put it to more good use in the future.

Please lets not make fun of people dying here on World News. Also I don't really see how this is relevant.

One thing to watch out for is that (ICU) Hospitalizations and deaths even more so lag behind the numbers for cases. So looking at these numbers right now is probably still inconclusive.

But I very much like that you posted these graphs, that's something you can properly discuss as opposed to all those comments regarding COVID-19 that just voice feelings without backing anything up.

Edit: Data from the UK look pretty similar: https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/healthcare The time lag between cases and hospitalizations seems to be a week and comparing the current hospitalizations to cases of a week a go and to the previous waves supports your claim.

I don't doubt that, do you have any numbers though, perhaps even for Omicron? I'd absolutely love for Omicron or a following variant to be as mild or milder than the flu because I am really getting tired of all of this.

How does Omicron compare to the flu, are there any usable numbers yet?

Thank you! That sure is better than pretty much everything I've found so far, gladly taking more recommendations if you have some :)

Any favorites you can recommend for me?

I honestly do not understand terminal file managers, what's their appeal, how are they better than what my command line already offers to me? I am not trying to dismiss them, I just plain do not understand how they are useful to people.

This argumentation is fine if your password is strong, Twitch followed best practices concerning password hashing + salting AND the whole thing is ONLY a leak. But to me it looks like the attacker(s?) probably had full access to a lot of Twitch's internal infrastructure, possibly for a prolonged time. That's why I think it's very much possible that password have been obtained in another way.

Because Telegram offers top notch user experience, apart from excellent apps they even offer native desktop clients. I really want matrix to succeed but as of now the user experience is clearly inferior.
