New paper shows hospitalisation with Omi is just as serious as Delta but the flip side being this whole thing looks like its coming to an end as long as we don’t see any other severe mutations concocted by the unvaxxed.

LT42 New paper shows hospitalisation with Omi is just as serious as Delta

Bullet point 1 is:
1) Study finds that controlling for time period, Omicron cases markedly less likely to be hospitalised
and bullet point 3 is:
3) Study finds that when not controlling for time period, in-hosp outcomes for Omi are better than they were for earlier Delta wave

Yet that is the summary you come up with? Underlining your absolute mong credentials once again.

LT42 this FT chap is always publishing stuff at the pessimistic end of the spectrum… just saying

LT42 I look at this for my job, so we’ve been looking into the trends in SA and Gauteng in a fair bit of detail… hospitalisations did go up perhaps even more steeply than delta. However, the gradient of ICU occupancy is less steep and, as you point out, the wave has topped so we will see hospitalisations and ICUs top out a lot sooner and a lot lower than delta. Given hospitalisations have been slightly steeper (than delta) but ICU numbers less so, that actually points to lower severity after hospitalisation.

hugopal 2) "Controlling for time period, Omi hospitalisations roughly as likely as Delta hosp to become severe.
To me, this is showing that once in hospital, that’s a good sign your main immune defences have been breached, so at this point Omi and Delta broadly same in terms of outcome."

Spunked your load too early, Hugo, you pedantic cyst.

Meanwhile in the UK:

"The number of people ending up in hospital after testing positive for Covid has fallen to one of the lowest points in the entire pandemic, with just 1.95 per cent being admitted.

The only time it was lower was when it hit 1.8 for a day in mid-July. Last December, it was as high as 12 per cent."

“Applying the ratio to case numbers up to December 14, and allowing for a 10-day lag, it suggests that we might expect about 1,200 admissions in Britain by Christmas, well below the January peak of 4,000.”

(PS, regarding the minor increase in London:

"Doctors and NHS trust leaders have complained frequently in recent days that the vast majority of hospitilised Covid patients in London are unvaccinated.

On Tuesday, Rupert Pearse, an intensive care consultant, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that the number of unjabbed people at Queen Mary’s University Hospital was between 80 and 90 per cent.")

LT42 I didn’t say that the report didn’t say that - my question was, that why the heck out of all the information presented in the report which generally points to Omicron being less worth worrying about, you instead honed in on and chose that piece of information to be the thing you summarised from it and shared with everyone else?!

LT42

hugopal The point is that people who are hospitalised have had a severe breakthrough with outcomes similar to Delta (for those who believe its just the sniffles).
You’ve also left out the second part of my post which points to this possibily being the end of the pandemic.

Now fuck off on your pennyfarthing, you boring monotonous wanker.

zackster LOL!

LT42 The point is that people who are hospitalised have had a severe breakthrough with outcomes similar to Delta (for those who believe its just the sniffles).

You are aware that loads of old people with compromised immune systems have a “severe breakthrough” and die from both the flu and the common cold every year right?

LT42 You’ve also left out the second part of my post which points to this possibily being the end of the pandemic.

Well done, but given that then it makes your having led with the other less pertinent information seem all the more baffling.

LT42

No, whats baffling is how the fuck anyone could be as boring, monotonous and pointless as yourself. That’s my question, what’s the fucking point of you even posting other than to stand back in awe of your own amazing 10 page essays. What has been the point of your last 25 posts in this thread, really? You could’ve just said, “The Govt are overreacting, I read it in the Telegraph.” and saved countless people the pain and anguish of having to open the forum for a pleasing read with a cup of coffee and instead having to endure hydrochloric acid being thrown in their eyes courtesy of one of your self indulgent, convaluted shithouse posts.

If you only had, at the very least, just a sliver of self awareness it would give you the perfect synopsis of how utterly and unbelievably tedious you are. Who the fuck are you to question anybody on here?

LT42 LOL!

LT42 it seems I’ve struck a nerve!

LT42

hugopal you’ve been striking optic nerves on a consistent basis for sure.
Every time you post I picture some cunt off Made in Chelsea with floppy hair and a lazy eye, blowing on his hands and diving for the keyboard. I mean, your name is fucking Hugo for God’s sake. That’s enough to set the alarm bells ringing.
Next time you find some interesting “data” in the newspapers, save to desktop, then print it off and stick it up your fucking hole.

You’re mistaken, as is typical.

LT42

hugopal Perception is in the eye of the beholder. And you my friend, are a boring, monotonous, pretentious cunt. That won’t change whether the physical description of you is wrong or not.

LT42

Jules72 the findings in the paper are what they are, Jules. If it seems they’re pessimistic and don’t fit with your outlook, then that’s the reality. From the studies I’m seeing, every single take from the professionals doing them is to be cautious and not treat it like Covid is over just yet. Which is the right way to look at it imo. Everyone is fed up of the whole situation and frustration is rampant but it’s not game over yet. I’m positive by the way and believe this variant may be the last burnout, I’m just not taking my top off yet and think there’ll be more information to digest in the coming weeks in relation to where we are.

Hursty

Jules72 this is the hope, sounds like we will ride this one out ok 🤞
