You can test positive up to 3 months after having covid, so once your time is up i'd get out.

Depends what you take your covid R as - most figures I've seen are 3ish, but you quote 2.01. This study for instance gives 2.79 median. https://academic.oup.com/jtm/article/28/7/taab124/6346388

Not sure where your 2.01 is from (I'm not saying you're wrong), but I think we basically agree: the 500% is implausible for this variant?

I jot down the low/high numbers between reported CDC, BMJ and oxford & Imperial studies. I give the average between studies. The original was between 1.5 and 3.1, deta 3.5 and 8 etc.
The asymptomatic nature of around 30% of infections is the main reason the range can't be tried down accurately

Cheers. I think most estimates of the original are either side of three, per the review linked above.

If you're due to be standing anywhere near 109 on Sunday I'd say you need to give it another 3 or 4 days, doing anything else go for it and enjoy yourself. :-)

You and the chap who liked you post. It’s absolutely odd as fuck to put a summary of it. It seems to have completely taken over your life. The other chap just gets excited when we fuck up as a country.

if it gets worse it gets worse in the meantime try and live. I am off to London to the theatre for the weekend.

I am tempted to agree how irrelevant and lacking in purpose my life is without posting Covid stats in here to compensate. But why should I?I know it isn't.

Suffice it to say - without claiming to be remotely famous - which I have no desire to ever be - the millions who have bought my books might dispute your diagnosis of a stranger on line.

As for the theatre in London. Enjoy. I kind of enjoyed appearing on stage in the West End. Apart from going to the loo forgetting my mike was still switched on!

I have to say you have given us intriguing hints about what you have done and still seem to be doing. TV appearances, book editing, author are just three.

Are you Maeve Binchy?

This thing is never going to end while there are still so many unvaccinated people. The same idiots filling up the hospitals here this year will be filling them up again next year if they are allowed to.

Compulsory vaccinations for over 60s and those at risk. Charge the other unvaccinated people for their stay in hospital. Then just get on with life.

Time to get tough, compulsory vax and fuck the do gooders off with their human rights shite. It’s almost a war now, serious problems need radical solutions, I know it won’t happen but the attitude of the anti vaxers is really pissing loads of people off, they’re all selfish fuckers.

Hardly. She is famous. Irish. A lot older than me. A novelist (I do not write fiction) and sadly dead a decade ago.

But apart from that....
 
They named it Omicron? Oh my. How long before people start calling it the dreaded Lrrr-gy?
