London ICU bed occupancy barely above that of a normal winter at the moment

    City of Porvoo (50 kms from Helsinki) is badly short staffed of doctors and nurses because they are either down with covid, or isolating. This is why omicron needs restrictions.

      When presenting THE TRUTH on Twitter, it’s always preferable to focus on only one aspect of a situation that has many.

          Homegrove City of Porvoo (50 kms from Helsinki) is badly short staffed of doctors and nurses because they are either down with covid, or isolating. This is why omicron needs restrictions.

          Bullcrap - it’s why fewer people should be forced in to isolation and why isolation times need to be reduced.

          People were never forced to isolate before when either they had a cold, or came in to contact with someone who’d had a cold, and with omicron being pretty much a cold it should be near enough the same deal.

          If you feel ill, don’t go out, if not, carry on - that’s how it’s always worked.

              hugopal can you please write a book about the last time the common cold or flu has taken out enough healthcare workers to delay acute care and surgeries?

                  303abuser can you please write a book about the last time the common cold or flu has taken out enough healthcare workers to delay acute care and surgeries?

                  can you please write a book about the last time the common cold or flu has demanded anyone with even minute systems to be forced to isolate and then tested, and then everyone they’ve recently been in contact with to also be forced to isolate regardless of whether they even have symptoms?

                      Homegrove I see Hugo is still saying it’s just a flu.

                      He’s saying it’s pretty much a cold.

                        hugopal do you know what healthcare workers do for a living? i’ll give you a hint … they take care of sick and vulnerable people who will be more adversely affected by covid.

                            I don’t think nurses or doctors should be going to work with colds either to be fair.

                            Are colds mild sniffles? Is the flu ‘coughs and sneezes that spread diseases’? Can you simply run off cancer?

                            303abuser healthcare systems somehow coped for decades despite the existence of colds and flu, prior to testing everyone and forcing people to isolate for little to no reason

                                hugopal I think there are more people with the sniffles. A lot more. I don’t think healthcare workers should work when they have the sniffles. I think there are more people with sniffles in the last month than there has been in a couple of years. I think you’re being a bit of a cock.

                                  hugopal does that not tell you there’s a difference between covid and a cold or flu? you think like a child with a very narrow world view.

                                      There are 17,000 people with the sniffles in hospital right now. The peak back in Jan 21 was 39,000 people with the sniffles. I get that these sniffles aren’t leading to as many deadybyes, but it’s really quite some trend for something that is just a cold.
