Coronavirus (2022) thread

[blueparrot]

Its incredible. A week it so ago this thread fucked off to page 2. I was delighted. I thought it was a sign of covid generally fucking off in life, which for most it has i think.

but no. One or two loons on here wont let that happen. Whilst covid can make them feel important and relevant theyll keep banging on about it .

I remember reading that article, they buried the more optimistic model in the same article too, which was already looking more like the more realistic one at the time anyway.

The one caveat is I do wonder how much pressure the government put themselves on the media to go with the worst case as by doing that they increased the likelihood of them not having to implement any restrictions themselves. If you take December, there was a huge shift in behaviour with Christmas parties being cancelled all over as well as things like increased mask compliance. That did also allow for the extra few weeks to get more booster jabs done.

Doesn’t make it right in terms of reporting though.

I highly doubt the government and the Guardian have a dialogue :)

Possibly an even more disgusting thing in there recently was an opinion piece by one of their regulars (can’t remember who) which said ‘Johnson has got lucky with Omicron being so mild’. The writer was clearly gutted that thousands weren’t dying each day as that would have been bad for Johnson.

It would die a death if the anti SAGE frothers could keep their mouths shut.

They can’t, so the same debate/argument recurs.

Pro SAGE frothers are just as bad.

I think you may have mentioned it..

Still cant get my head round it

And I disagree. Doing a projection with that assumption (and the caveat of the severity is very clearly called out) is one of the factors that led to the increased speed of the booster rollout, which has already shown to be worth it.

The modelling stated it took account of the booster roll out.

I could have produced a report and filled it full of caveats and then said I was right. It still wouldn't mean I was.

Anyway I have wasted enough time on this subject, I feel some on here just argue for arguments sake which is pointless for all concerned. We will have to agree to disagree on the modelling.

You and others will no doubt be pleased to find that this will be my last post on covid forum. No doubt we will cross swords on other topics.
Have a good day Melton.

You would, you’re consistent in that.

Have a look back and see who started this current SAGE debate.

No one is frothing about how good SAGE are.

It’s a miracle that any of us survived the pandemic, given how shit they apparently are, is my point.
