Coronavirus (2022) thread

Just ordered my last pack of LFTs. Typical that the wife gets Covid the week they stop!

Day 3 for her. Windows open until she’s negative. Working so far.
 
Looks like this thread is becoming less and less relevant as most people either don't care or are cracking on with life. Props to @Healdplace for all her analysis throughout with notable mention to @roubaixtuesday

Hopefully life will return to normality for most, if it hasn't already, in the not too distant future. Commiserations to all those expert virologists, immunologists and epidemiologists on here who have had to pivot and become eastern Europe military experts.

The more people that get it now will hopefully mean less catch it in winter ,so it’s probably a positive for the country to have all these cases as long as the NHS can cope and deaths don’t skyrocket.

Not sure thats how this is gonna pan out personally. while I think the direct threat to the NHS is over. and I think that we're at a point now that hospitalisations/deaths are going to be pretty low overall,

But I do think we're going to see waves of people getting ill every 3 months or so. and over the next year or 2 that will just level off into a steady level of infections in the background of life.

if the 3 months cycle pans out over the next year we'll have another in July/Aug then another in Oct/Nov. the waves should in theory start to lower each time until becoming background "noise"

Thant being said, South Korea is a confusing set of data, they had a 80% vaccination rate by Nov last year and Omicron is kicking crap out of them right now. No idea what vaccine they used tho.

Just as you reopened the thread here is today's Zoe graph showing clearly as all evidence indicates that this second Omicron wave is a few days from peaking. Numbers have been flattening for a few days now.

We are still at record high numbers of ongoing cases 4,445,557 in the UK have Covid today. But the daily rise is starting to fall it was 69,007 today. It may not top 5 million before it starts to fall which should be within the week, Likely not now.

The predicted cases today are 345,226. They peaked here a few days ago at the record daily high of 352,510 new cases and the number has been falling by a few more every day than it did the day before. Down 3785 today.

England hospital deaths are suggesting to have almost peaked too. The past 7 days is the most in six weeks since the end of the first Omicron wave - 645 v 552 last week v 474 the week before. But last few days are hopeful it will not go much higher.

If it does not the key take will be that even V the first Omicron wave in December/January this one will have had higher overall cases but lower overall deaths. Largely as there are fewer on ventilatrs now than then and far lower than pre Omicton waves.

How will Zoe operate from tomorrow? If no one gets tested, how can Zoe predict anything?

Zoe has only ever based its information on symptoms being posted in the Zoe app its self, it doesn't worry about the tests.

Which is why I now cite it more often. But it has had its funding taken away so is becoming less reliable.

Rochdale has posted no numbers in Greater Manchester on Zoe for several weeks as it now has too few contributers to be accurate. The other 9 boroughs still do.
 
192 UK deaths V 165 last week

136 in England V 111 last week


74,720 UK cases today V 98,204 last week on Gov UK.

England only 62,816 V 79,373 last week.


NB Scotland had a data issue and are a little under reported - but only by a couple of thousand I suspect.


700 K pillar 1 & 2 tests V 708 K yesterday & 792 K last week
