You claimed you’re 1000 times more likely to die from it if you’re overweight.

I’ll ask again, where did you get that from?
It was obvious I was been sarcastic but it’s like 40% more

i believe she died cause of her weight , you believe she died cause she wasn’t no 1 right or wrong we have a difference of opinion
 
Any underlying issues might have had fuck all to do with her weight. I find it difficult to accept shitty comments on peoples weight when she’s just died in 7 days from testing positive. Biggest issue of risk with covid is age by a huge distance.
Loads of other co-morbidities mentioned for increased covid risk before weight. Could be any number of reasons she died at 38 years of age.
Very few deaths comparatively under 40 years old and if weight was a significant issue half the fucking country would be dead with covid with nearly 30% of the country obese.
Weight is actually a massive one , it’s not a shitty comment though could be classed as shitty saying she should have had the jab , there was a guy in his 30’s from Bradford who was overweight, his funeral was on Facebook seeing his kids hugging his coffin and crying will staying with me
 
The South African omicron outbreak has been reported as being benign and perhaps it is relatively so but the feature that we need to focus on is the spike in both cases and hospitalisations. I think this wave is going to be much smaller in hospitalisations but rather than being spread out over months they are going to come all at once.

I think we now need to look at London. We have missed the boat in regards to lockdown. In London we are already on the explosive exponential growth phase. Even if you stop all traffic and work, so many people have it now. They will just take it home to their households. The government may lock down nationally but I think it is too late to have a significant effect.

This is data I downloaded for London (NHS web-site, and gov.uk) for hospital admissions, and new reported cases by specimen date.

I don't like the look of these curves. The covid infection go into exponential explosive growth on the 12th December but it looks to me that the hospital admissions are tracking the omicron uptick. The link is not entirely broken. I think that this week the London hospitals are going to feel the effects. The surge will start this week and last for a fortnight. A lockdown would work to flatten the peak but if the peak is below capacity it is pointless. It is too late for London.

I don't think it will be as bad as previous waves but it's going to come all at once. I have no idea how much slack/headroom the London hospitals have to absorb the numbers.

I am carrying on and hoping the Boxing Day football is on but not expecting it to be because the backdrop will be a short-lived emergency and the authorities will be cautious. They probably know its too late already. When it doubles every 1.5 days, you can't be late if you are going into lockdown. We are late. Look at London, gradual rise then bang. It may be the right decision to do nothing if the hospitals can handle the peak. This graph does not tell you what the peak will be. It just hints at an existing link between cases and admissions and shows the wave of infection that has just hit London.

Me and my wife both have covid. She's had it for a few days now and is on the up. I tested positive yesterday. I was just wondering - is there any point separating in the house anymore? We were pretty bad at doing it anyway tbh. Just wondering if there are any negative effects from being around each other while we both have it, or whether it'll not make a difference now.

Edit - got quite a bad fever from this btw. I'm boiling. My missus did too and she's lost her taste and smell. Wondering if it's delta now and not Omicron.

It may well be a risk factor. Point is you have got absolutely no idea from a picture of a person why she died. None whatsoever. Unless you’re her doctor?

Sorry to hear that.
Get through it together, your mental health will benefit.

Just carry on as normal, mate. You'll not be doing yourselves any harm.

I wasn't sure if there was some viral load effect that will prolong it or something. As if it'd be hard to recover if you're constantly breathing in covid air, if that makes sense?
