Coronavirus (2021) thread

As much as I understand the call for something like this... And have just had my booster... You can't really deny that people have been paying their NI for years and so in effect have already paid for their medical treatment.
They can't be refused treatment and I don't think I'd want that anyway.

Aren't a lot of these non vxed people youngsters?

Thank god I've been vaccinated because the symptoms I have now are bad enough. Day 3 and diarrhoea is added to the mix along with Fever, fatigue, sore throat and cough.

Obese twats with shit medical system and high vaccine hesitancy in high death stat shocker.

It’s also a country with an ageing population, so many of those who have passed will have been vaccinated and will have had access to excellent medical provision. Over a thousand deaths in Russia today, too. It’s a tragedy.

If that’s the number russia have actually published, fuck knows what the real figure is.

As Whitty said today, it’ll be 18 months or longer.

18mths for what? the virus to run its course??

I’m wondering when they may force all frontline emergency services to have a vaccination, I think it’s coming as this and other variants start impacting on staffing, I know a few who won’t have the vaccine, however when their job is on the line that may well change. I’m not for compulsory vaccination, however I do feel if they get sick from it then they should get insurance, but I can’t see anyone insuring them for this.

I wouldn’t trust a front line medical worker to go anywhere near me or my loved ones if they were anti-vaccine.

What kind of fucked up nutter goes into medicine not believing in vaccines?

They should be struck off for life.

I read that figure in the Moscow Times.

Don’t worry, however. Tass expects the Gamaleya Centre to publish data soon that will show its Sputnik vaccine can eliminate Omicron in seven days.

I’m looking forward to May Day parades next year with a pass by of giant syringes!

no, just want everyone to move on with their lives.

Don’t watch the news and crack on , covid not going away

Just read 1200 people dying each day in the states from covid..

There are lots and lots of states where vaccine take up has been atrocious. Texas, Carolinas etc it's close to 50%. That's not boosters, that's fully vaccinated. It's going to get bad there and other parts of the world. Makes you thankful for what we have here. While I'd have liked greater take up and perhaps the rollout of boosters a touch quicker, compared to some US states we are laughing.

There's now a daily omicron report from ukhsa

COVID-19: Omicron daily overview

An overview and summary of case data for Omicron focusing on confirmed and SGTF cases in the UK.

www.gov.uk

Incredibly, doubling times in nearly every region are below two days.

That means the number infected today are probably at least 4x higher, maybe 10x higher than the cases reported in the headline figure.

I expect we'll run up against testing capacity very shortly.

I'd never have believed this rate was sustainable to this number of infections.

1.5 day doubling time is ~30 fold in a week.

Current hospitalisation rate of 0.04% unless I'm reading incorrectly? (Appreciate there is a lag so not directly comparable)

Figure being 20 people in hospital/49000 cases
