I wonder if Whitty and co are still saying the data from SA cant be relied upon?
Every country is different in so many ways , it is never discounted , science is about reproducing data in your own population and that informs your own measures , two years on and you are saying stuff like that and where is flu

whether you like it or not, whitty and co comlletely dissmissed the data coming out of SA. Did you not see the news conference. Or do you have your usual selective memory.

As regards Omicron, lets see how many it kills shall we compared to flu shall we. Currently no increase in covid death rates. But as alaways your glass half empty Kaz.
 
That's alright then, they've struggled in the past ''so f*ck em and lets go on with it'
No no, just saying there is a prevailing NHS winter narrative so I'm sceptical that they're 'struggling like never before' when this happens every year.

Ultimately the thing needs to be fixed.

I have a brain injury as you well know , my memory is shite , on ignore from now on, you are one of the main reasons i stayed away for a year
 
you cant talk actual factual science on here , people that want it gone just wont listen , i admire you continuing to try for so long after i gave up
Kaz,

Whitty's own words below.

'The amount of immunity for this wave because of prior Delta wave and vaccination is far higher than it was for their last wave and, therefore, the fact they have a lower hospitalisation rate this time is unsurprising.

'That doesn't mean there is some degree of milder disease — that is possible — but I think there is a danger that people have overinterpreted this to say this is not a problem and there's nothing to worry about. I want to be clear, I am afraid this is going to be a problem.'

Followed by this warning by SAGE which Whitty is a key part of.

The government’s SPI-M-O group of scientists, which reports to the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), also warned that, based on their modelling, hospitalisations could peak between 3,000 and 10,000 a day and deaths at between 600 and 6,000 a day.

You want science? Or perhaps you prefer simple maths? Compare the current death rates from Omicron to that predicted by SAGE above.

I didn't realise you had a brain injury? I sincerely hope you recover well. All the best CLB
 
Is there any data out there that on day 6 of Covid everyone will be negative?

Hasn’t America say isolating for 5 days only?

If it was reduced to five days it would only make a marginal difference if a small minority of people could still transmit it as cases are so high anyway.

Peak transmission is the two days before you know you have it and two days after. Most measures in place currently are ineffective and are sops to certain sections of public opinion.

How is this "dismissing" SA data?

It isn't - it's an honest assessment of it.
