Haven’t rules changed to 7 days isolating as long as you have a negative on day 6 and 7.

As long as you are double jabbed yes

I think it is a sound idea. You should promote it on social media. I stay away from there but it is where these things can be made to take off. Maybe Boris will be desperate for anything that looks like he is giving peope something good by then.

My last Tweet was 9 years ago. I have 8 followers.
I don’t do Instagram.
I kind of do Facebook, but not for anything serious.

Ah right

Self-isolation for COVID-19 cases reduced from 10 to 7 days following negative LFD tests

From today, new guidance enables the 10-day self-isolation period for people who have tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) to be reduced to 7 days, in most cases.

119,789 cases - another record - and underreported I assume from the DATA ISSUE above

147 all settings deaths

Gov UK DID update yesterdays number to the 'real' one I posted earlier to add the cases missimg from Scotland then.

So today UK Cases are up by 10,134

How do the deaths compare to previous?

R rate in Lambeth, London, where I believe was the initial 'epicentre' of the UK Omicron epidemic, now gone below 1, just.

Up 1 from 146 last Friday

England only up 3 122 to 125

Will post the rest of the numbers on the data thread later as usual

and the good news from elsewhere just keeps on coming





*note these are from South Africa and maybe won’t be recreated in the U.K. because…. erm… reasons.

You know South Africans only live to 12 years of age on average, are quadruple vaccinated, run marathons and never come within 100 yards of each other. Apples and oranges fella.

Until no one dies in the U.K. for a whole month nor coughs in public it’s better to be safe than sorry. Stay home people and check the news regularly or better still never stop watching it.

So cases up by 10% not 50% as the scientists predicted. Clearly good news.

I’m genuinely amazed he’s still fronting stuff like this.

Surely they could stick someone else front and centre.

This bloke takes over next week

 

[Rammy Blue]

Now there’s a surprise….

Omicron up to 70% less likely to need hospital care

However, a major report showed the protection from catching Covid started to wane 10 weeks after the booster.

Not if you live in Greater Manchester - it is going like London last week and some astounding numbers today. Pretty much every borough is through the roof.

The lowest Pop score today was up 127. Some are nearer 300. Never seen numbers like these before.

Wigan today would have been a pandemic high for Manchester just last week.

I know these are only cases and milder etc. But these are bound to create pressure on the NHS this next week or two. They are just goimg up and up and doubling exactly as they say every two or three days in Greater Manchester right now.

I suspect GM may even be the epicentre now not London.

Very good sign considering 1 million+ had it has week.

As some of us said, it’s looking like summer 1920 all over again.

I think these studies will gradually show milder and milder severity of this strain as more data is analysed. We'll see over the next few weeks.

 

[Healdplace]

Deaths are probably a couple of weeks behind cases and hospitalisations about 4 or 5 days behind cases.

I hope the link is well broken given how many cases are happening right now in the North West I will be amazed if there is not a major Covid outbreak at City in the next few days looking at the numbers today.

I hope you are right. I think you might well be. But we need that plus given how rapidly this is spreading once it arrives somewhere. And it has turned up in GM just in time for family gatherings where vulnerable relatives will mix with those who have it That is the main risk. Hopefully the boosters save the day as it looks as if they will.

Will people still go for boosters when they read that protection wanes so quickly?
