Re: Coronavirus
Double jab only about 40% effective against Omicron, even less so if you had your jabs some time ago or AZ (hello old folks x2)

Yes, they are different (which is why I said "said something similar" and not "said the same thing").Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:38 pmUnvaccinated is very different to not boosted.

But it's still scaremongering.

Re: Coronavirus
But I have seen from 3 different sources all MSM that this is because 80% of the increase is patients going in for other procedures with no symptoms. The statistics need to show this information so that we can understand what the true figures are.Smendrick Feaselberg wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 11:23 pm Hospital admissions up by a third based on the latest rolling seven day average.

Re: Coronavirus
Yep, there's also the fact I was reading that over the Xmas period people were discharged from hospital later than they would ordinarily have been, so I guess this also impacts on the totals.Still's Carenae wrote: ↑Fri Dec 31, 2021 9:57 amBut I have seen from 3 different sources all MSM that this is because 80% of the increase is patients going in for other procedures with no symptoms.

Stop being hysterical.

The line is fringe conspiracies
Good to know
1. Despite numbers being high , as we were told they would be , they are not doubling every two days as we thought they would be.
2. It was the South African scientist who first diagnosed this who said that it was a mild variant with cold like symptoms.
3. As time has progressed , uk scientists and the government are in agreement.
4. Rather than increasing restrictions , many countries are reducing them , including South Africa .
5. Many countries , including us , have reduced isolation periods because symptoms are less serious.
I prefer to be positive about this. You prefer to be negative.

There'that UGLY personal responsibility bit again !!George M wrote: ↑Tue Dec 28, 2021 10:38 pmThat’s just not true. I go out with a cold and I probably have with flu. I suspect I have been out whilst having covid. I can’t be sure because although I am 63 , I don’t know if I have had Covid. I am not staying indoors through fear of infecting someone who may die because of my actions. That’s just not how life works.Of course that’s not my intention. But it’s ridiculous to expect anyone to stay indoors because of the off chance that they may be responsible for someone’s death.Currywurst and Chips wrote: ↑Tue Dec 28, 2021 7:22 pm If we're going to accept that people can leave it to personal responsibility, just let people go out and live their lives.
Then we're saying they have a right to infect and possibly kill other people, then, why stop there?
Drink drivers have the right to go out and possibly harm people because it's their right to live their lives how they want?

Re: Coronavirus
Anecdotal comment from my sister in law, who is a cancer nurse at a major London hospital, is that the staff are catching Covid and going down like flies with up to 60% isolating. This is also translating into vulnerable patients catching Covid whilst receiving treatment probably due to inadequate PPE not able to contain Omicron. They have already lost one patient to Covid and now two others in ITU from her ward alone. She is now back at work after having Covid, initial LFT was negative although not ill she knew she had been exposed and guess what... PCR came back positive!

Re: Coronavirus
Among my peer-group around here it seems to have been pot luck which of the vaccines you got. I got pfizer and Mrs Spike got AZ. Among friends it was about a 50/50 split. I think it was just a case of which version was in stock at the time.tuffers#1 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 31, 2021 12:50 pmdidnt most old folks get pfizer & moderna ?AZ was the CHEAP option for the masses not the old or the vulnerable .Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:43 pm Double jab only about 40% effective against Omicron, even less so if you had your jabs some time ago or AZ (hello old folks x2)

Re: Coronavirus
I am ! So's Mrs Spike. The peer group ranges from 50 - 75 and we couldn't see any pattern in who got which version. There didn't seem any rhyme or reason to it.

Re: Coronavirus
Mrs Gold got two Pfizers and the timing of them can be tracked to the onset of Myasthenia Gravis symptoms.
Seems it is a thing with flu and Hepititis vaccines too but the numbers are minuscule.

Re: Coronavirus
189k cases reported again, with hospitalisations up by 49 over the past 7 days%
Goes back to that point about how many of these are due to being admitted for something else and testing positive or catching it while in hospital.

Re: Coronavirus
More scaremongering? I read it as someone having both at the same time. Will they merge a form a super variant? Don’t think they know yet

Re: Coronavirus
I have been in Spain since Boxing Day and there is a very relaxed feel about Omicron. They have had the benefit of other countries experiencing this variant first. The press coverage is more sensible and less panicked. You are supposed to wear masks in the street. I would say 50% do always , 50% where in close proximity to others. We are supposed to show vaccine passports to enter restaurants or bars . I haven’t been asked to show them anywhere. Nobody is adhering to that particular requirement. Spanish people I have spoken to don’t talk about Omicron. They have it in their head that it is nothing to worry about.
