Coronavirus (2022) thread

UK NUMBERS TODAY

97 all settings deaths

84 in England was 59 last week - these are still rising it seems

141,472 cases - down from 146,390 yesterday & 151,663 last week

England only 121,228 - down from 130,330 yesterday & 123,547 last week

Wales down week to week 14,036 to 8923

Scotland down week to week 14,080 to 7561

There were 3760 cases in Northern Ireland who did not post any data last Sunday

So every part of the UK that posted data last week and this is down.

Everything else will be on the data thread.

Even if it's as infectious as Omicron you're likely to get a heap of immunity to it from having Omicron and let's face it most of the country will have had Omicron by February.

agreed. Odds are omicron will squash any new variant quickly anyways. As a country we would probably be fine even if it doesn’t as you say.

If it’s worst case. As transmissible as omicron and deadly as delta then other countries that havent been hit by omicron could be in for a rough ride. But zero info if there any difference to omicron at this point.

Cyprus reportedly discovers a Covid variant that combines omicron and delta

The strain is being called "deltacron."
www.cnbc.com www.cnbc.com

the 1st omicron + delta hybrid has been discovered in cypress. 25 cases so far. While there is so much delta and omicron out there this is an inevitable occurrence. Just need to track it carefully and see if it has any advantages over omicron.

odds are it will get squished by omicron tho.

False alarm apparently and almost certainly just cross contamination of samples in a lab rather than a new strain.

Dr Dix said we are dealing with a "much, much milder variant" now so it is "pointless giving more and more vaccine to people who are not going to get very ill".

Instead, we should take a "much more targeted approach" and give protection to the most vulnerable while allowing society to return to a "new normal".

"People should just go to work, go about their business, if they get ill go home and stay at home," he said.

Can you post the full link. I’ve no idea who Dr Dix is although I agree with them.

Very sad story today, a family friend.

Their daughter, mid 20s and refused to vaccinate during pregnancy due to the scaremongering.

Caught Covid and had to be put in a coma five weeks ago, they delivered the baby safely.

They brought her out of a coma but she never came back around.

Never even got to see or hold her baby.

Incredibly sad.

That's just shockingly horrible.

Me and my partner had a baby boy 10 weeks ago, and the choice to have Mum vaccinated or not wasn't easy with two sleepless nights deciding whether to or not. In the end we did and baby blue (and Mum) are doing well.

That poor family.

yet had hate and vitriol for weeks for saying the exact same thing, just ahead of the curve I guess...
