Coronavirus (2022) thread

Just to show that we have our share of idiots over here as well:

Czech folk singer Hana Horká has died aged 57 after intentionally catching Covid from her husband and son. The unvaccinated singer welcomed catching Covid over the Christmas period as a way of obtaining a Covid certificate of immunity. Her son has blamed her death on anti-vax groups who he says have “blood on their hands.”

Her Son should blame his fcuking moronic Mother

France reports highest-ever COVID cases in Europe​

The country has announced a record 464,769 daily COVID cases today - the highest daily total ever recorded in Europe.

I can't wrap my head around how they're getting that many cases a day over there. I'd imagine immunity levels due to vaccination and prior infection are broadly similar to the UK, yet France are getting over double the number of cases that we were at our peak the other week, plus they've had loads of days of 300k/350k case numbers recently too. I wouldn't have thought they were testing more than us, unless their booster rollout is way behind ours and that's been the reason for these astronomical figures?

Dr Richard Cree, who has blogged about his work on the frontline, has said he is confident that the "worst will soon be behind us".

The intensive care consultant at Middlesbrough's James Cook University Hospital believes the Omicron wave is now "waning".

Writing in his nomoresurgeons.com blog, Dr Cree said: "Fortunately, the number of COVID patients being admitted each day has begun to decrease and the situation should continue to improve.

"Boris (Johnson) appears to have already started celebrating the end of the pandemic. To be honest, it looks like he started celebrating way back in May 2020 and never stopped.

"For the rest of us, raiding the wine fridge at work and cracking open the champagne may be somewhat premature.

"However, despite the strain that the hospital is currently under, I am confident that the worst will soon be behind us and that the end is now in sight."

France is slightly behind us on boosters, but not a right lot.

Denmark, earliest into omicron in Europe, is more boosted than we are.

Both France and Denmark are ahead of us overall on fully vaxxed.

Denmark cases are ahead even of France and still rising.

Both Denmark and France have slightly lower current death rates than us.

What can we conclude from this? Buggered if I know.

This thread needs locking, printing out, strapping to a rocket and firing into the sun, never to be spoken about again.

To save costs Ric can double up with the Ronaldo transfer thread.

If it bothers you, why are you here? Your obsession with preventing anyone else from discussing covid is very weird.

Looks like Boris has done a great job over the last month.
And all he needed to do was ignore everything SAGE told him.
Genius.

The government have done pretty well since beginning of 2021 to be fair.

Of course the party will quite rightly end Boris’s tenure but they’ve done well since the initial fuck up with care homes.

Yep. I've been hugely critical of them over most of their decisions in 2020 but I thought the roadmap out of the 2021 lockdown turned out to be pretty bang on the money. The 5 week gaps between each step proved to be about right timing-wise and it was only when we got to the last hurdle in June that it required pushing back 4 weeks. The country has been pretty much open since July, save for some minor restrictions.

Done well ? Champions league on deaths and costs associated with the pandemic. Mid to lower table in percentage of population vaccinated !

Well if you'd bothered to read my post properly, you'd have seen that I have little time for the decisions they made in 2020 but got their act together more last year. That doesn't mean I'm a fan of this government by any means - far from it.
