Coronavirus (2021) thread

Just had my 11 year old drag himself to bed with a headache, cold chills and suddenly feeling shit. Got a feeling that’s our Xmas well and truely fucked.

You’ll not be alone with that unfortunately

How many omicron cases in China? Does anybody know? I've not heard anything about coronavirus cases in China for months.

Considering they are saying they've only just had their 100,000th covid case overall take anything you hear from there with a skip load of salt

I’ve just been pinged, says I was in contact with someone on 14th December, which was the Leeds game. Not sure why it has taken 5 days to come through?

Most reports more overweight you are more chance of been in hospital with serious issues

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?

Yeah, as long as he’s ok we can cope with the rest. Be gutted as we had 12 coming over and was gonna be a really good day. My dad is not well and 85, wife’s Nanna is 90 so just no way we can take any risks.

Because thats how long it’s taken for the person to test positive that you were in the proximity of.

Age is on his side. There's a very good chance that it may well be just another, common, winter virus. Hopefully this is the case, for you all.

Fingers crossed. Will test him in the morning and then go for a pcr if needed.

Slimming World.

Cheers, didn’t know that.

Cheers, didn’t know that.

Until they have been logged as being positive then they won’t activate the proximity alert in the app.

Piete's still smashing it.

To put that 0.16% CFR for Omicron in perspective (amongst a population with only 1/3 vaccinated), normal influenza has a CFR of 0.1%. It’s amazing news.

When you then look at the assumed IFR of 0.016%, it’s then very clear that influenza is considerably more deadly than omicron (based on that real world data in RSA).

Also agree with this further down the thread:



Looks like the models are going to be way way off again.

Seems to also say the vaccines also have a greater impact than first thought.

This could be summer 1920 all over again, when Spanish Flu did similar.

Don’t want to get my hopes up too much but this is looking better and better.

Things seem to be looking up a little band then watching the paper review it looks like we're all going to die again.

I'm glad there's some good posts on here on real figures rather than the mainstream press.

To be fair, my article which has great news (on U.K. hospitalisations) is from the Telegraph.

But it does appear that the guardian et al are simply after bad news clicks rather reporting of the facts at hand.

Tbh if you was on that concourse today pre-match or at half time then you’re testing tomorrow and hoping for the best!

You’ll be fine tomorrow. It’s Xmas Eve onwards that you may be in trouble.

Yeah it's not 100% doom & gloom in the press but similar to Samuel in the Mail in football anything with a differing viewpoint gets swamped by the rest.
