The General Covid19 Thread
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 Donāt panic, youāre 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 Iām sure they would be well used like Nightingale. I get the need to plan for worst case, but thatās all this is, a reference to the capability if required
Hursty The Guardian is awful and itās been consistently and massively wrong throughout the whole pandemic. Cunts.

Have to say Iām going right off it.
Jay Rayner aside that is.

Its the spectre of widespread absenteeism in the public services and the wider economy as a result of Omicrom that will guarantee the circuit breaker
South Africaās Omicron-wave seems to be going down already. So if the rest of the world follows this waveās short.
Weāve lowered the āisolationā time to seven days for the breakthrough vaccinated cases. And going outside for a walk or doing some food shopping (hence isolation being in quotes) is considered fine if mild to no symptoms as long as a mask is worn. The only worry is people spending considerable time indoors with groups of unmasked people - like isolate from that.
One doc, my actual boss on all this, basically said sheās whatever about Omicron. Itās very infectious but not causing many issues and the incubation period is short. Covid could be burning itself out . I have no evidence of this or any link to point to, it was just said on a call. But her and this other dude George are the leading infectious disease experts at UCSF/SFDPH and both raised the alarm bells when needed so Iām inclined to trust their opinions.
