Can we rename this thread as "Panic Central ", some posts are a little alarmist.

 

@HarryS I enjoyed your take on the alarmist pointing finger irony.

I can assure you that Omicron hasn't got me yet.. or maybe I've already had the gentle version of the intruder.

Everyone over here is still wearing masks indoors whilst out in public facilities and I honestly feel that I would suffer more from hosting the flu than omi. And with a mask, I probably won't get either. I'm not minimizing the horrible things the original Covid moments were and how many died.

But we no longer have genuine News on television because it is now the Covid Conversation Spin Channels.

On the positive side, it gives me lots of time to go and powder my nose or whatever, in between the weather reports

 

South Africa have reported a sharp increase in cases, which is mainly the omicron variant. Even WHO was reported as saying, that even though early reports show the new variant to be more transmissible, it is still plausible that relaxation of social measures and enhanced testing since omicron was first identified will play a role in case numbers increasing. Plus, South Africa has had a low uptake in vaccinations, only 38% of the adult population has been fully vaccinated.

Yet, even though there has been an increase in hospitalisation, early evidence suggests that patients are experiencing far milder symptoms and illnesses compared to previous waves.

Present and past governments never state true figures. When you have a rapidly growing population, its inevitable it would bring our current infrastructure to its knees. It was reported earlier this year that EU migration to the UK from 2012 to 2020 was underestimated by a whopping 1.6 million.

I get the feeling that even if covid was wiped from the planet over the next 12 months, unlikely I know, we would still be going through the same process next year.
Flu will be reported in a similar manner if nothing new comes along.

Hospitals have always been overwhelmed in the winter.

 

At least one person in the UK has died with the Omicron coronavirus variant, the prime minister has said.

I'm sorry Boris - change 'with' to 'from' and I might take a bit more notice. You do know that by next week Omicron will be the dominant variant in the UK?

Boris said "the idea that this is somehow a milder version of the virus, I think that's something we need to set on one side."

Omicron is a milder version - just look at what's happening in Countries where Omicron is dominant. I think you are wrong Mr. Johnson - which seems par for the course.

Lots of people during this pandemic have been admitted to hospital for various life threatening problems only to pick up covid while there, if they should unfortunately die they then become a covid statistic.

I seem to remember Norovirus being mentioned most winters as being rife in hospitals, but I cant remember any statistics stating how many people have died "with" Norovirus.

 

Our local hospital has just reported "we are seeing more people in our hospitals with COVID-19. In addition, it is also that time of year when Norovirus (diarrhoea and vomiting or D&V) is circulating and we currently have a number of outbreaks locally, including in our hospital"
