The usual disclaimer: According to Minister of Health Hala Zayed in early January, the official numbers of cases represent between 10%-15% of the real number of cases worldwide Egypt included
Those official numbers represent the patients who enter the ICUs in designated coronavirus isolation public hospitals in the country in critical condition according to official statements, not the mild cases of coronavirus or those who receive treatment at home.

Hi Zeinobia,
ReplyDeleteI don't know whether you have noticed, but healthy young men playing professional sports have been dropping dead in droves all over the world. They are dying of sudden cardiac arrest from myocarditis/pericarditis. This side effect of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines is not surprising, in fact it's actually printed right on the package insert, but it was supposed to be a rare occurrence, and unfortunately it is turning out to be very common. In Egypt you mostly use the Chinese "sinovac" vaccine, which uses a different technology, not mRNA like the Western vaccines, but it also has serious side effects, some fatal. Anyway, Egypt’s third division’s Rabat and Anwar goalkeeper Ahmed Amin passed away yesterday after suffering sudden cardiac arrest. But he was only one of four international soccer players to drop dead this week alone. Fit young people are not at much risk from covid-19, so these dangerous vaccines should be limited to those in high risk categories, like the elderly and the morbidly obese. For those without co-morbidities, it's safest not to take the vaccine.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, etc.
