Fuck me the media in this country are a joke for the way they’ve tried to analyse Omicron
The General Covid19 Thread
Jules’ post looks like a Strudders formation post.
LOL Oakland caved to business interests. No vaccine requirement until February 1st.
Which is pointless.
LT rooting for a negative Omicron outcome just to win an internet argument.

Jules72 SGTF infections diagnosed between 1 October and 30 November 2021 compared to Delta infectionsdiagnosed between April and November 2021 had a lower odds of severe disease (aOR 0.3, 95% CI 0.2-0.5)
Just checking my maths here… So these findings would suggest that in those that are hospitalised, with Omicron you’re 30% LESS likely to experience ‘severe disease’ and the 95% confidence interval is that it might be as low as 20% less likely, but might be as high as 50% less likely?
Severe disease = hospitalisation? ICU admission? Something in-between?
LT42 I agree [that this is a hugely positive study]
Which then circles back to my original point - which was that it was therefore very strange why you originally only highlighted the one negative claim in the study (which turns out to be spurious) by way of an attempt to summarise its findings.
Case closed.
Are there any papers out there analysing the impact of drinking bottles of Becks on the Virus, aka the Mark Fowler Theory?
Funky Don’t panic, you’re restricted to only 30 people in any one household!
The scaremongering continues, great use all these extra hospitals with no-one to staff them. Also I’m sure they would be well used like Nightingale. I get the need to plan for worst case, but that’s all this is, a reference to the capability if required
Hursty The Guardian is awful and it’s been consistently and massively wrong throughout the whole pandemic. Cunts.
