There were around 40-60,000 daily cases in January. 450 people a day catching it in hospital is a tiny fraction of that total.
Your second article refers only to one set of hospitalized COVID patients, 40% of whom caught it while in hospital.
Where did you get that 80% of all COVID cases were being contracted in hospital from?
Apoligies it wasn't of all. But of all hospitalised cases.
In this report from. Was 80% of hospital cases. Caught it in hospital in June 2020
the proportion of infections that are hospital associated has increased, and was approximately 80% as of the 1st June
Strewth. Where to start.
1. The paper you’ve linked is a year out of date and is written after approximately 3 months of near-full lockdown. It even says in there that as cases have dropped the proportion is higher, and that is because there was little to no social contact when the report was written.
2. It doesn’t say 80% caught it in hospital, it says up to 80% were linked to hospital-acquired infection. Ergo, if I caught it in hospital and then passed it on to 30 people in Asda, it still qualifies as hospital-acquired infection.
Using this as a qualifier for why hospital data shouldn’t be trusted really doesn’t work, sorry.
New York back to normality with all restrictions lifted after they’ve had 70% of people vaccinated - yet we’ve vaccinated more & we‘re nowhere near to being free - absolutely ridiculous
How’s the delta variant there badly, do you know?New York back to normality with all restrictions lifted after they’ve had 70% of people vaccinated - yet we’ve vaccinated more & we‘re nowhere near to being free - absolutely ridiculous
Big Apples at thatThat's because cases etc are dropping in New York while cases are doubling weekly in the UK.
This is like comparing apples and a fucking watermelon

Thats why the NHS have been told to change the way they collect data "Hospitals have been told to change the way they collect data on patients infected with coronavirus to differentiate between those actually sick with symptoms and those who test positive while seeking treatment for something else."
NHS told to identify patients actually sick from Covid-19 separately to those testing positive
Exclusive: Changes to the way hospitals collect data will make the impact of the virus on the NHS look betterwww.independent.co.uk
Oh look 84 inpatients testing positive. More inpatients tested positive than new admissions.

Also that is basically a week out of date as well.
Let me guess its all lag...
Feel free to look over the NHS data availably that shows 55% of all covid patients in hospital. Where all ready in hospital before catching it

Talking about out of date Sage used out of date data for the extension of lockdown. But I guess thats fine with you.
Sage have a tendency of using out of date data

Once again you post things that you clearly don't have a clue about if it seems to confirm your clearly nonsense arguments
Also it seems you can't even read a spreadsheet either.
You're done here
It's ok Jordan will post a thread he doesn't understand to convince you that isn't a bad thing

It says that of all covid patients in hospital 7% of them were diagnosed with Covid in the last 24 hours while already in hospital.

NHS faces questions over Covid infections contracted in hospital
As bereaved families seek answers, number of cases and alleged failings cause concern in Englandwww.google.co.uk
64% of severe infection at one point were acquired in hospitals - that point being December 2020. Again, whilst there were stringent lockdown measures in place. The paper doesn’t specify whether this percentage is on a specific day, a rolling 7-day average, a rolling 30 days, etc.
Unfortunately as a non-subscriber I can’t access the Teegraph article. However, the Guardian article makes for interesting reading and again tallies with the idea that a single week in December saw the peaking of hospital-based infection, before beginning to drop again i.e. when there is more social mixing the percentage acquired in hospital reduces - suppose that’s not groundbreaking. Estimates are that between August and February there were 39,000 people likely to have been infected in English hospitals; a not insignificant number but making up a tiny proportion of infections within that timeframe.
Forgive me, but I genuinely don’t understand the point you are trying to make with this. The data you provide basically proves that lockdown measures work for reducing community-based infection, but I know you ain’t arguing for measures to be extended/reimposed!
The difference is if you catch Covid why in hospital when you then test positive you are then classed as a patient in hospital for Covid. Yet you came in for another reason. Hospitals have always been a super spreader for illness. Same with care homes.
The point was Saddle mentioned we have been seeing more short stays in hospital. Hence the numbers not shooting up. I was just showing how many are catching It in hospital.
Basicly get your jabs 1st and 2nd and we should be all good. If the gov actually allow us freedoms.
But the problem with the thread is it's not a debate. Its David just insulting people with different views to his. He comes back with no evidence or counter argument other than out of date data. Yet all the data we can go on is what the gov/NHS give us.
Everyone has different views on Lockdown/restrictions. Debate is healthy. trying to disprove people with no actual facts is now.
Not if we continue with masks and social distancingJust so everyone is aware. Once we do come out of lockdown. We are likely to see a surge of RSV esp in younger children/babies. Due to not being exposed to everyday viruses.

Well, your air of superiority is tiresome. You try to belittle anyone who has a different view to your own and yet as your Celtic prediction laughingly showed, you ain't always right.top notch comeback - great stuff
That’s fair, and not something I’d thought about a great deal. Still, I think that plays a much smaller role than the figures you’re using suggest. I had said to CCFCSteve already that inpatients might be a better measure than admissions this time around so I’m in tune with your way of thinking on this. Had my first jab the other day as well, second will be just after August Bank Holiday as it stands.
I'm not taking much comfort from the inpatient numbers to be honest, there's been a 23% rise in 2 weeks.I had said to CCFCSteve already that inpatients might be a better measure than admissions this time around so I’m in tune with your way of thinking on this.
That's a fair point but the problem is there's a desire, and need, to put figures out every day but the more accurate data takes time to collate. For example the headline hospital admissions figures are by date of reporting hence the issues with weekends but any expert will want it by date of admission which is a few days behind. They'll then want info like age, health conditions, vaccination status which all takes time to come through.I think the problem is a lot of the figures do not make sense or tally. Gov will do a big data drop over night with the latest data that tents to be out of date anyway.
Think there's an issue with context here. You hear case numbers, hospital admissions and deaths and no matter how low it goes it still sounds pretty bad as we have nothing to compare it to. How many people know the equivalent figures for other viruses that we live with?It is I think prudent to seriously define ‘we have to live with Covid’ at a practical level
