The General Covid19 Thread
303abuser does that not tell you thereās a difference between covid and a cold or flu?
No, it tells you that there is a weird overreaction going on.
Along_the_Wire heās been off a while here
The stats on London ICUs being barely above a normal winter (despite being a supposed omicron hotspot nightmare) were already posted earlier today).
Hugo may have made some very hurtful comments about me (I didnāt leave my bedroom for a week after that), but he may have a point here - if deaths donāt pick up then it looks like a moderate to bad flu .. 150 deaths per day x 90 = 13,500 over the winter (ish)⦠a severe winterās flu kills 10-20k right?
2 things to remember:
- High infection rates increase the chances of future mutations.
- āMAN CLAIMS MILD SNIFFLE ESCAPED BİO-WEAPON IS THE SAME AS A COLD. MAY HAVE SEVERE CONCUSSION.ā

itās only weird if you arenāt very bright.
Jules72 he may have a point here - if deaths donāt pick up then it looks like a moderate to bad flu
heās missed the point completely, as always. the concern with this variant isnāt a high death rate, more that itāll knock out a good chunk of the workforce (where healthcare workers are of particular concern) because of how quickly it spreads. people may not be ending up in hospital, icu, or dead as often, but due to the number of cases, itāll still overwhelm hospitals with staff shortages (because people are still sick/symptomatic).

Youāre missing the point Iām afraid.
As Alistairās Twitter Mate, John BERK-Murdoch, clearly illustrates (with a chart no less) ICU NUMBERS ARE DOWN.
Lets not muddy the waters by broadening the perspective!
I have to say Iām proud of us. Taken this thread all the way to Hugo having AIDS.
in fairness, heās done a lot of the heavy lifting.
Jules72 19,000 people in hospital with a sniffle is not a good situation full stop.
Hope they boot him out
vinnyt77 the cuntās visaās been cancelled. Excellent.
Along_the_Wire Good.

jonattonyeah people with AIDS would probably have been more worried about covid than Iāve been.
Only O.J. is allowed to get away with murder.
