It will get all the unvaxed , single vaxed and double vaxed plus loads of triple vaxed .

It can also infect those who have already had it who thought they were safe for a while

Government accepts liability in the event of a lawsuit related to vaccine side effects, i.e. the legal complaint is against the government and not the manufacturer. Refugees are not covered by any such agreement and thus could, hypothetically, sue the manufacturer directly.

right from the very beginning we know some people hardly notice covid and others get seriously ill or die

I believe with our current level of vaccination that people are panicking way too much, but the number of infections will mean hospital numbers will go up. We just don't know by how much yet

The NHS has no excess capacity ... like ... none. That is the panic. It's not a matter of "it wont be as bad as people think" - it can't be any amount of bad. Forget "a million cases a day" ... if hospital requirements increase 20% people are going to die in the corridors. If ambulance requirements increase 20% people are going to die in their homes (of non-covid things). :shrug:

It isn't unfortunately - my work involves working closely with various people within the NHS, my wife works in the NHS and also has a vast network of people she works with all across healthcare in both Scotland and England. Yes there are beds lying empty. There are entire wards lying empty.

There's no staff, and there are no resources.

People imagine patients spilling out the windows when they hear "no capacity" - that's not what it means. The NHS isn't buildings, it's staff and consumable resources, and it's teetering on the brink of collapse. I'm afraid that's just the reality of it. It's not because of Covid... it's because it was sabotaged to bait-and-switch with a semi privatised system ... deliberately, by the government. High-profile ministers wrote books about that intention. No one was paying attention.

They just failed to consider that there might be an actual healthcare emergency - which there now is.

More stringent restrictions need to be brought in "very soon" in England if ministers want to stop hospital admissions reaching 3,000 a day, the government's scientific advisers say.

The BBC has seen leaked minutes of a meeting of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies held on Thursday.

The document says there are "many uncertainties" about the future path of hospitalisations linked to Omicron.

It comes as Omicron is now dominant in England, new analysis suggests.

The number of people requiring treatment in hospital has been rising, with admissions being between 800 and 900 every day in the past week.

According to the leaked minutes, the Sage advisers say that without intervention measures beyond the Plan B rules currently in place, modelling indicates that hospital admissions could peak at "at least" 3,000 a day in England.

The current Plan B rules for England include Covid passes for certain events, face masks in more places and people being urged to work from home if they can.

The other nations of the UK had already brought in similar rules - and Scotland has gone further by asking people to limit social contact to three households at a time in the run-up to Christmas. Wales has also ordered nightclubs to close from 27 December.

The Sage minutes say: "If the aim is to reduce the levels of infection in the population and prevent hospitalisations reaching these levels, more stringent measures would need to be implemented very soon."

The record of the meeting goes on to say that measures equivalent to those in place after Step Two or Step One of the roadmap in England, if enacted early enough, "could substantially reduce the peak in hospital admissions and infections compared with Plan B alone".

Step One and Two of the roadmap for easing lockdown - which was in place in England in the Spring - banned indoor social contact and indoor hospitality. Step Three allowed six people, or two households, to meet indoors and indoor hospitality could reopen.

"The timing of such measures is crucial," say the Sage minutes. "Delaying until 2022 would greatly reduce the effectiveness of such interventions and make it less likely that these would prevent considerable pressure on health and care settings."

Sage meetings are designed to advise officials and ministers about the possible path of the pandemic in certain circumstances rather than offer up concrete predictions.

The Department of Health has been contacted for comment.

The mayor of London has warned he is "incredibly concerned" by Covid cases in the city - after a record rise was reported on Friday.

Sadiq Khan said the 26,000 new cases were having an impact on staff absences in the city's emergency services.

Latest government data has shown there are 1,534 Covid patients in London hospitals - up 28.6% on last week.

It comes after ministers were warned England's hospital admissions could reach 3,000 a day without new measures.

Mr Khan said: "The big issue we have is the number of Londoners who have this virus and this is leading to big issues in relation to staff absences and the ability of our public services to run at the optimal levels.

"I'm incredibly concerned about the number of Londoners with this variant but also the impact on our hospitals.

It’s not about “wanting” a disaster scenario, but it is sensible to be prepared for bad scenarios rather than trying to get by on raw optimism.

Maybe it is settling, I’m not saying that I hope you’re wrong, I’m saying that drawing that conclusion from a couple of days worth of data is dumb. We don’t know anything from these numbers, no conclusions can be drawn from them at all, until we have at least a week+ (10 days would probably be a decent measure) to go on.

Believing that a couple of days showing less increase is conclusive of anything tends to just result in people getting an unpleasant shock when there’s a sudden jump later and it turns out that there’s been a flaw in reporting mechanisms or somewhere else.

For example…

We’ve been told repeatedly that some areas have run out of PCR tests. If people (with mild symptoms) aren’t being tested and recover fine after a few days, then they were never added to the numbers.

The important figures - as ever - are hospitalisations and deaths. We’re not going to have an accurate picture on those for at least another week or two.

if we remember back to when we first re-opened the government at the time said don't be surprised if we hit 100k infections, so they were quite happy to deal with that number of infections per day and have restrictions completely removed. Yes, infections may still rise but its not exponential growth, that means hospitals have more time to deal with things.

I accept the point that the pcr testing could be way out, but that is true all the time surely

user104658
18-12-2021, 09:47 PM
Oh I think it could be fairly safely assumed that actual daily positive cases are (always) at least 2x the number of positive tests. Maybe more like 3x. That’s really always been the case, many mild cases and the majority of asymptomatic cases aren’t in the figures.

I think part of the issue is that people see nurses on a break when a ward is busy and think “hmph they shouldn’t get a break when it’s so busy”. But it’s always that busy… and they don’t get paid for that break… so essentially it’s saying that hospital staff shouldn’t get breaks, ever, and should also work an extra half hour a day for no pay.

I don’t know about anyone else, but if I’m in hospital, I don’t want to be being watched over by a member of medical staff who is burnt out and hasn’t eaten all day? Just asking for critical errors to happen.

Covid hotspot figures show NHS may avoid being overwhelmed by omicron - here’s why

Sharp rise in cases in South Northamptonshire has not been followed by
comparable growth in hospital admissions, data show

Analysis by The Telegraph of Britain’s outbreak hotspot of the new variant
reveals that the spike in cases is not being followed by a comparable rise in
hospital admissions.

I’ll just reiterate what I said before. A few days worth of data is nowhere near enough to be drawing conclusions from, and the attempts to do so are at best wishful thinking, and at worst dangerously dumb.

It might be fine. It might be a disaster. We simply don’t know yet, there hasn’t been enough data to make any sort of projection. Why do people keep trying? Why are people still declaring it a “false alarm” or “over” based on less than a week’s data that includes the notoriously unreliable weekend numbers?

A quick explanation of omicrom compared to the past variants.

The past variants made their way into the lower part of the lung, causing the patient to basically drown.(lung conaolidation)

Omicrom remains in the tubes going into the lung( the bronchial passages), causing bronchial problems.


So what this means is we spew out the omicrom easier by coughing more, and sneezing. But the benefit off it is, the fact that it remains sticky in the passageways, to stop the big covid getting down to the bottom of the lung.

Your first 2 jabs made your body do this itself, so be brave, get another jab.


(In short, our bodies are causing omicrom as a defence against the covid. The injections gave it the clue)

I think if we have to much our bronchial passageways will block up to much from our own defences, causing us to die en mass, just as intended.

I remember not being able to get my 2nd jab a day before it's due date..then all of a sudden they have halved the waiting time for the booster..seems a bit off to me..

So I will wait about until march, as it seems like the month that matters most years

a potential post-Christmas "circuit breaker"

That’s a bad way to think, you already had two doses and put your faith in the vaccine, get your booster mate


Yes I totally agree .

I have a few workmates who could have had the booster last week but chose to wait until after Christmas so they weren’t poorly over the festive break !!
So they’re drastically under covered over this crucial next two weeks !!

Unbelievable

I'm going to dodge my booster, for now.

I think if we have to much our bronchial passageways will block up to much from our own defences, causing us to die en mass, just as intended.

I remember not being able to get my 2nd jab a day before it's due date..then all of a sudden they have halved the waiting time for the booster..seems a bit off to me..

So I will wait about until march, as it seems like the month that matters most years

Heard one of those friend of a friend rumours last night..

Apparently loads and loads of young people (under 35) are having strokes and / or blood clots after having a vaccine jab BUT as soon as it’s reported on social media the authorities take it down ...


One of our friends is seriously scared now despite all our reasoning and reassurances .

It sounds like a load of complete bollox to me plus the idea of the government having a system in place to delete any damaging rumours also seems preposterous


Thoughts please .. or any arguments we can use to try and calm her down

Thanks
