    vinnyt77 the executive summary is: covid is nearly over .. if that helps 🤓

      Hursty The Guardian is awful and it’s been consistently and massively wrong throughout the whole pandemic. Cunts.

          Have to say I’m 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 Africa’s Omicron-wave seems to be going down already. So if the rest of the world follows this wave’s short.

                    We’ve lowered the “isolation” 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 she’s whatever about Omicron. It’s 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 I’m inclined to trust their opinions.

                    Was just reading about Japan’s wave completely dropping off which has experts baffled.

                    hugopal So the only problem becomes how many people get it at once, right? If it’s 20-50% less likely a positive case will end up experiencing ‘severe disease’ there only need to be 20%-50% more cases for hospital admissions to balance out at similar peaks to the top of the delta wave. Have I got that right?
