rhouses rapid testing wasn’t catching the Omicron virus

Don’t listen to your mate. Sounds like he uses the same websites at Funky

Hospitalisations in London were up 92% last week

    Along_the_Wire from a low level though.. again it’s worth looking at Gauteng and South Africa as a whole … the guy is publishing it daily:

    There was a reasonable pickup in hospitalisations in Gauteng but a peak well off the delta wave, and only a small pick up in ICU cases - so the more severe you move along the spectrum, the less the numbers pick up… as far as I can see there is nothing in the data yet that tells us SA is different from the U.K.

      Jules72 hearing that government will resist making restrictions, at least for the time being. Sets us on a different path to the covid headbangers in Wales and Scotland.

        …dusts off the kitchen sink…

        alistair the only thing that should lead to lockdown (I think) is a staff shortage in the NHS.. can understand why they’d implement that for 2 weeks though I have no idea if merited

        Nothing like being hospitalized to own the Libs,

        I don’t know if I’ll ever recover from the ownage.

        He’s not wrong. Our support from the CDC and HRSA is pitiful. Additional funding is not happening because Republicans. Guns, abortion, tax cuts, and military contractors are the only thing that matters to them. Biden is whatever, hate away, but this issue runs far deeper than that oldie.

            Not everything is laughter, smiles, rainbows, and Trisco, Ed. Tops on, unfortunately.

            I’ll be over next year to give the place a bit of the ole Smallman magic Jonatton.

            Sunshine on a rainy day incoming!

              If you listen hard enough, when Biden heads up the stairs, he says to the pilot “you know the drill, disc 1 at full volume.”

              You could elect your saint Bernie and we’d be in the same spot.

              This is a Republican problem and always has been. Nothing will ever change as long as the Electoral College, the Senate, and the House are weighted in places where nobody fucking lives. Get mad at Biden all you want, I, too, enjoy pissing in the wind.
