Coronavirus (2022) thread

[Len Rum]

Countries around the world have all dealt with the pandemic differently and set their individual policies accordingly. Some countries tolerate a low death threshold, others tolerate a higher death threshold; that’s the trade off when protecting individual liberties and an economy. Only the people in those countries can truly judge the success of their decisions.

Unfortunately we've done badly on both death and economic impacts.

231 deaths - 203 in England

179,756 cases - down from 189,213 last week

England only 152,306 - UP from 146,604 last week

There are literally no tests to be had so i would be wary of any drop in cases

Every silver lining has a cloud ;)

Been feeling pretty crap since yesterday, positive on a LFT this afternoon.
Just been for a PCR.
Such is life.

Not sure how easy it will be to disentangle the impact of the pandemic and Brexit from the UK’s economic situation, but England also seems to have prioritised the protection of individual liberties, though, again, that may sometimes be hard to disentangle from economic needs.

Probably the case but the hospital numbers above are a bit better today though so that is more important. And the numbers to watch in coming days.

But we can’t read too much into that as the day has a Y in it and there are patients not being counted as there are staff shortages etc etc

Actually I just looked deeper and there were pretty similar Pillar 1 & 2 tests today and yesterday.

2,028,014 today V 2.045.857 yesterday.

And FAR more than the 1,496,886 last week

So up a third week to week is not really no tests available.

In fact the last two days are the highest EVER and the first time they have been over 2 million on one day.

I was surprised it was a record high too but school testing again atop everything else will be why.

Nonetheless shows that if there is a shortage that will be seen in coming days and is clearly not a factor in the numbers today.

Except there were 2million+ tests performed today?
