Todays good news thread.
Take a peek
If you consider that a good news thread why are you choosing to ignore its clear message?
I find that a bit confusing?
Mate I think you might need a break
I know someone in their mid twenties with no known conditions apart from asthma also off work for 5 weeksOnly thing I'd say is a friend of my Dad's, asthmatic, early 50s so older than you but... double jabbed at the time, five weeks and counting off work because of Covid. It's not just hospitalisation
My other half is still negative with both lateral flow and PCR and we've spent pretty much all our time together since Saturday including working from home so it can't be that fucking transmissible.
A point well made.
However things like this help me feel comfortable with only 2 jabs at the moment

Not doubting 2 jabs offer protection but the thread you posted also spoke about further protection from the booster.
London appears to be topping out now mind youThe UK Gov covid dashboard has recently added a new tier for cases.
I believe this was Tuesday.
If you havent seen the UK map, London is starting to turn to this new colour so quickly that they may need to add a new colour tier for cases.
Some places are close to having 3200+ cases per 100,000 population.
Will be interesting to see what happens.
The map shows this is really just the start of this. When further areas are affected more, which they arent a lot behind London, seeing how quickly things have taken hold there.
Things are going to go up like a rocket.
How dare you BSB !!! I temperature checked, asked recent illness, wiped down chairs (no real use apart from when an old lady had a little accident), ensured that hands were sanitised, distance maintained and mask were worn ! In one entrance, out a different exit. Slick operation !
Take the point though, if omicron is as transmissible as they reckon, a lot of centres are probably decent spreading hubs, especially a few weeks back when they were making people wait 15 mins post Pfizer jab...actually maybe that’s when I caught it again, not from my mate...dirty fuckers !
Genuine question without wanting to to start any shit - is there any benefit in me wearing a mask shortly after I recover from covid?
Not a slight at you Steve, though you know my thoughts on surface transmission measures
I would still be certain that the bulk of cases weren’t picked up at the vaccination centre, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if a small number were because it’s so infectious.
Loads of people said that about other waves too, just good that it seems to be true for this one but shit we have 150,00 dead people because it wasn't for others so I understand caution.I mean its almost as if people have been saying for weeks that this is mild and we'll be fine....
There were a number of studies from South Africa where it originated that stated Omicron was a mild strain so glad to it being vindicated by our scientists
Scotland, Wales and NI may have jumped too early with additional restrictions, be interesting to see what will be announced after Xmas, hopefully just the continuation of wearing face coverings

How many times do people have to point out to you that basic maths shows that even a mild strain of a virus if transmitted enough can cause carnage in the health care system.
This is the issue
It's been here for a number of weeks now and the hospitalisations are not near the levels earlier in the year with Delta being the primary variantHow many times do people have to point out to you that basic maths shows that even a mild strain of a virus if transmitted enough can cause carnage in the health care system.

It might be like shmmee says it’s about numbers infectedIt's as if some might be gutted if it's really not a massive issue.
And rinse and repeat. Actually, this time we were allowed to bypass A&E and go direct to the ward. Of course, all I could do was sit in a corridor and wait for my Dad before taking him home, where he'll be spending Christmas without his wife for the first time in over 50 years. At least this time I could hold my Mum's hand at home for half an hour, tell her I love her... and pray I get to see her again. I have a present on the stairs from my Mum and I don't know if I can open it, it upsets me too much. At least she got to see me married last year, even if it could only be both sets of parents there. Not what I wanted but, if I'd left it for this year, she'd have never been able to travel.I'll tell you what happens at A&E at present...
You get a letter from your doctor, you go along but you're not let inside as there are too many people waiting already. Once you *are* let inside, you're not allowed to take anyone in with you, so even though you're at death's door, the best they can do is push you inside in the wheelchair, walk out, see the doors shut behind you and wonder if you'll ever see that person again...
Then you wait for hours to be seen, before eventually you are. Then you're admitted, and placed on a bed for yet more hours, waiting for a space on a ward. These spaces are under pressure because, of course, at this stage any infection from Covid could finish you off because you're so weak, and you don't want bellends pointing out you got Covid when in hospital, so its not *really* Covid that killed you. You then get your bed in a ward where they keep the windows open if at all possible (but of course the time of year is not great for that, so it's a payoff of freezing your patients, and giving adequate ventilation in criminally underfunded buildings) and give you a Covid test daily, because any infection spreading in the ward could finish off all who are there with you... and you don't want bellends pointing out you got Covid when in hospital, so its not *really* Covid that killed you. No visitors for that reason either, as they absolutely *need* to keep infection away from you.
Then you get rehabilitated as quickly as they can, and sent home as soon as they can because, even more so than usually, they *need* the beds for the next queue of people waiting for admission. Then again, it might be too soon really, but you haven't seen your family for a couple of weeks, and they haven't seen you, and they need to tell you that they love you. You've avoided being finished off by Covid too, by the measures put in place, but those measures restrict capacity too, of course... exacerbated by an underfunded system, that means there's no spare resource available for a crisis.
Oh of course is going to be entirely down to the vaccine.It might be like shmmee says it’s about numbers infected
Your question has been asked lots on the news today. Is it mild because it’s mild or because of antibodies and vaccines and the answer seems to be possibly
Only data on R rate specifically for the variant I can find is a week old and puts it between 3.5 and 5. Remember the good old days when we were worried it might go over 1?!So as long as it’s R rate is less than 3 times that of previous strains were golden.
It's been here for a number of weeks now and the hospitalisations are not near the levels earlier in the year with Delta being the primary variant
It's a good news story and I'm hoping things stay the same as they are over the rest of the winter period
