RE: UK Covid death toll - Sliced - 12-18-2021
"Patients in Hospital Rising in many areas"

Look at those graphs and tell me they're not decreasing in many areas too. Overall there's a marginal increase.
The real story should be that the number of people in intensive care is the lowest number since August.
We're right to be alert about Omicron but the scaremongering is shameful. What we've seen so far should actually make us hopeful, not terrified.

So, basically, London is fucked so the rest of the country is punished.
Meanwhile, Leicester was in lockdown for 12 months continually and London was allowed to be open.

How do we know it’s not going to spread across the country? How many people are going to visit relatives outside of London in the next couple weeks?

Three regions had similar hospitalisation rates to London now in October, where we this rhetoric then?

Where indeed! I think I have been consistent, there was nothing normal or acceptable to me about a 1k approx deaths per week. Still face marsks are muzzles and other libertarian bullshit is more important.

This doesn’t bide well…
Who to listen to former ERG loons who the PM seems to be running scared of or medical experts?
RE: UK Covid death toll - baggy1 - 12-21-2021
One big problem is the isolating as a close contact and the length of time that they need to isolate if they test positive. If the rules can be changed so that two or even three days of negative tests are required then they can return to work then the problem would be alleviated to a degree.

This has been floated about a few times now, seems logical to me.
RE: UK Covid death toll - Kit Kat Chunky - 12-21-2021
I appreciate there is a lag between infection and hospitalisations, but all the health care data is heading towards early Oct levels, and number of new cases seems to be stabilising.
I'm hoping they have cried wolf here.
RE: UK Covid death toll - baggy1 - 12-21-2021
They reckon 7 - 12 days between symptoms and hospitalisation if its needed. The peak of the cases appears to have been about 5 days ago but numbers spiked about 8 days ago so I would have expected to see more activity in hospitalisations by now. Since Friday hospitalisations have risen by 581 and London accounts for 370 of those, it does look like there is a slight increase in each region but only very small in most (max around 10%) in all but London.
Next few days should inform us more.
