If you ever wanted the question the accuracy of a story then consider this one.Said last night il stay off this thread but had a change of heart.
Il just post the good news, then fuckoff again until the next good news article
So heres today's
Rising Omicron cases not being matched by hospitalisations
Brackley had experienced one of the highest Omicron case rates in the country, but admissions at Northampton Hospital (pictured) have not matched the surge.www.dailymail.co.uk
Brackley’s local general hospital is 11 miles away in Banbury. Northampton General Hospital is approx 23 miles away, with John Radcliffe 23.5 miles. If there was a surge of admissions then they wouldn’t be going to Northampton from there.

Also doesn't appear to account for the lag between cases and hospitalisations but let's hope it's right despite that
Ive just reread the article and while it mentions that Northamptonshire was one of the first areas where there was a spike/spread in omicron it’s not clear when this started so agree it’s probably a bit early but fingers crossed

If anybody is interested do feel fine and just have a very slight sore arm just like the other 2.
Oh, I had 17 heart attacks and was visited by three festive ghosts too.

Interesting thread from a South African, suggestion that it might have a low Omicron hospitalisation and death rate due to the scale of its previous waves, 250k excess deaths in SA

Don’t knock it, my friend.
Weepy wank as it’s known...usually over the ex that got away
Yeah, loads of guesswork around this. Is natural immunity from previous wave (of maybe a closer variant) better than more vaccine immunity that we’ve got as a country ?!
As we keep saying, only time will tell. I think we are underestimating how much natural immunity we have in the country in addition to vaccine immunity. They say actual cases are around double confirmed so we’ve been running at 80-100k per day for a while. All this should hopefully help keep severe illness down

My daughter has been told the restaurant she works at has to close till Boxing Day at the earliest . Apparently the manager tested positive along with their partner . From what I can gather they can’t send anyone in as a relief manager as that breaks the covid bubble .

I tackled a Sage Covid modeller on Twitter and it was quite the revelation
Why does Sage not tell us the probability of its gloomy Covid 'scenarios'?

I certainly haven't read them all but I've modelling report I've looked at over the last 18 months of this mess has contained multiple scenarios. On pretty much every occasion all the headlines have only mentioned the worse case scenario.I tackled a Sage Covid modeller on Twitter and it was quite the revelation
Why does Sage not tell us the probability of its gloomy Covid 'scenarios'?
I agree Dave. That’s been part of the issue for me. I’ve not read the Telegraph article as I can’t access it but each scenario should be very clear with assumptions and probability. The media should then include this when reporting.
Unfortunately these worst case scenarios have also been used almost as fact by government and SAGE at certain points on the pandemic. We’ve even had models that were already out of date used to persuade public. It’s just wrong. Give people facts and easy to interpret data/information. It’s not too much to ask

Magazine that exists solely on edgy scientifically unsound commentary upset edgy scientifically unsound commentary isn’t given enough attention during a pandemic.
Speccy has called just about everything wrong since this started. I seem to recall them saying it would all be over by April 2020.

Accusing others of losing their way when they themselves are wandering around aimlessly in the middle of nowhere.
Without wanting to get too graphic, was it much blood?
I coughed up a very small amount of blood a month or two ago when I was ill and thought it could be Covid. Rang 111 who arranged a call with my docs and he just said to go for a Covid test, and if it was negative then not to worry it’s probably just a chest infection. Test came back negative but I was pretty rough.
Hope you get better soon.
