Covid

Apparently there has been a case at Cop26.
The Mayor of Los Angeles has tested positive.
Doubt this will be the only case.

 

Not only at COP26, here in Lincoln I have tested positive today

 

Sorry to be hearing this.
Hopefully not a serious case and you will be over it soon.

 

Cheers Ian. I have no symptoms at the moment so hopefully it will stay that way, the wife on the other hand has been badly with it for the last 6 days. It was inevitable that I would get it though

 

Hope you're not feeling too rough.

 

I feel fine at the moment Helen thanks, although I expect that to change very soon

 

Sorry to hear that, old mate. Wishing you a quick and permanent recovery.

 

Cheers mate. Thank you

 

Yorkshire has the lowest R rate in the country Things are looking good at the moment with cases going down every day for a couple of weeks and now hospital numbers have dropped for the past four days. All without the need of the so called plan B that the scaremongers keep shouting for.

 

Quite a bit going on round Lincoln at minute. Hope you both don’t suffer too much.

 

Cheers mate. I felt ok until about 3 this afternoon and I have gone down hill at a great speed of knots! The good news is that the wife is coming out of it now.

 

They're not scaremongers, they are medical experts who know a lot about how viral diseases spread. Having said that they are still learning about this particular virus so I can forgive them for occasionally getting it wrong. The evidence says that they've been right far more than they've been wrong so far.

 

I've been going to Barnsley hospital all week and in A & E on Monday the staff were saying pretty much all the ambulances coming in were covid ones. I don't think it is as rosy as you're painting it to be.

 

Have you any idea what percentage of hospitalisations were unvaccinated? In Russia it's close to 90%. Which with only 35% of the population vaccinated, means that a hell of a lot of people are still at risk. While I don't wish death on anyone, I think that those who've chosen not to be vaccinated and then succumb to Covid should be given a mass Darwin award. Anti-vaxxers absolutely boil my piss.

 

The majority of people admitted to hospital in the UK within 28 days of testing positive for Covid are vaccinated. 65% are vaccinated 35% aren't.

Thanks for that Jay. That's a surprisingly high number of vaccinated people who still end up in hospital, although I'm guessing that far fewer of them are in need of treatment in intensive care.

 

The number is high because most people are vaccinated. The rates of admission are lower in the vaccinated and you are far less likely to end up in ICU.

 

With respect. I’m not sure “things are looking good” for the families of the thousands of people dying who are dying from it every month. The numbers are ridiculous and unnecessary.

 

We have around 7,000 in English hospitals with covid, but around 2,000 of them only knew they had covid when admitted for something else and tested on arrival for whatever that was.

 

Doesn't detract from what I heard from the horse's mouth on Monday. Plus that account is hardly reputable is it? BBC reporting 9160 in hospital at present.
