1. Give over. The UK modelling was so wrong - 6,000 to 10,000 hospitalisations a day. Actual worst numbers around 2500. I can't recall a figure worse than 2,450. At least 45% of these were admitted for another reason but tested positive after admittal
2. Staff off sick. Bad, but our hospitals were not overloaded with patients.
3. I believe the data - which is clear for both SA and the UK - way lower in virullence than the Private Frazer predictions from SAGE modellers before Christmas.

The modelling has actually improved this time round, but only for infection rates. Virullence is just way off.

I can guess who you are replying to. lol Actually the modelling numbers were for England only. And the actual numbers have never really averaged more than 2000 a day. Could still change obviously but highly unlikely. SAGE called them predictions throughout the Sep reports but with caveats saying they wernt, bizarre really. I note the Dec report called the modelled numbers scenarios Lol. Be actually good if they just accepted that they were wrong be it scenarios or whatever.

i downloaded the report, I can send you a link if you want.

The highest England hospital admissions number in the Omicron wave was 2370 on the 29 December.

Only 2 of the last 8 days have been over 2000. 10 & 11 Jan on 2180 & 2127

1692 - the latest data (from Friday) is the lowest since Boxing Day.

Boxing Day was just a few days into what looks like the start of the short lived Omicron rise in hospital when London went from 278 to 511 admissions over 4 or 5 days. London had 276 in the latest number on Friday.

On 14 Dec - comparing with the 14 Jan latest data we have admissions - England then had 815. London then had 199 admissions. North West 109 (Friday NW had 268) - but you can bet in a few days it will be under 200 given how London has tracked.

That is wise, and just to be clear I was not meaning anyone specifically just that generally we are all guessing in one way or another about the future track of a novel disease.

Novel?
CV was being discussed at parliamentary level ,Mr Hunt Health secretary..as far back as 2015. Operation ALICE.

Covid is not novel.

Covid is .......Certificate of Vaccination Identification.

Just as Delta and omincron ....'re rearranged ...equals ....Media Control.

It's a game.one far more important than Football.
 
Covid is a family of viruses so they likely will have discussed health implications of them years ago if any managed to get here and were dangerous. But Covid 19 - the one we have now (19 being a clue nobody thinks it was the first) - has created a pandemic that the others had the potential to do but none did.

So this one is novel in that respect because it did. And everyone refers to it as Covid for short. So you surely knew what I meant. Much planning for a pandemic was built around a flu like pandemic and only months before Covid arrived there was a chilling BBC documetary that was created as an experiment using mobile phones to imaginarily infect people following the plans and science to see how it spread across a real town and beyond. It assumed the same premise.

We discussed it in here in the early days of the pandemic.

By chance the town they chose to be focus and involved many of the citizens in had one of the very first real Covid cases after the simulation when the real thing arrived.

Omincron?

Fucking hell, another new variant! When is this nightmare going to end?
 
Now it’s pretty much at the end - will the world not really care that it likely started from a Chinese laboratory?

Mobile phones you say? The conspiracy theorists will love that.

Speaking of which, since I’ve had my booster my 5G reception is fantastic. Good old Billy Gates!
 
My young daughter isolating again after testing positive just 11 weeks after she was positive via PCR. So she'll have had both delta and Omicron within 3 months.

Oddly she's worse with this one. Last time she had a sore throat for half a day and that was that, this time she's had a full on headache for over 15 hours, and mentally much worse this time too, even though she's possibly out of isolation sooner. She got through last time with homework and YouTube kids, this time she has no enthusiasm for any of it and wants someone outside her door at all times. I feel like a right tight git for not hugging her.

A reminder that, whilst the Omicron variant is in general less dangerous to most of the population, it can still give some of us a pretty rough time just as flu can or a bout of winter vomiting bug . Something the conspiracy theorists would do well to remember - real people are affected by this daily whilst they spout their hidden agendas to all, encouraging us to ignore science in favour of anagrams and deliberately misinterpreted information.

Remember when the mad heads starting actually burning down phone masts, that was a fun moment wasn't it.

Any of them still at it?

It’s wiped me out for 5 days now mate and still not looking like any improvement any time soon.
The headache has definitely been the worst part, severe as fuck.
Hope she feels better soon.
 
Dare we criticise some of the NHS Staff? All the absenteeism after New Year and all they had to do was say they’d been in contact with someone who had Covid and that’s a nice little holiday on full pay. Obviously not just NHS but looking at the numbers definitely some of them, banging pots and pans was never for me, they stepped up to the plate when required but after all it’s their job, just like a Soldier who goes into battle, don’t expect it but that’s what the training is for.

Cheers. Part of me thinks "sod it, let's just mingle in our household and all get it". Better than having a child isolating for days. Only thing that stops me is her youngest sister has had respiratory issues in the past.

Undoubtedly she got it from school. Found out a classmate of hers who was in all week last week, tested positive on Friday night, which as well all know is the absolute best time to test your school attending children!

of course some will take the p*ss but overall the NHS staff have gone above & beyond through Covid and have had to work in the toughest conditions and underfunding for many years - I've seen the toil it's had on my bro in law who works in ICU - he's had hardly anytime off in the last two years.
