How's Covid going? Is it still a thing?

Is it getting quieter or have I just not been interested in it lately? I can't tell.

My sister tested positive on Sunday so we’re all isolating just incase.

We’re all negative so far (daily testing) and thankfully she’s just as though she’s got a slight cold so.

Omicron doesn't "give you immunity" to Delta or any other strain, it does increase immunity levels overall in the community which increases herd immunity which is of course vital to ever overcoming Covid, but saying "Getting Omicrom gives you Delta immunity" is at best a massive exaggeration. It makes it far less LIKELY that you'll get any Covid strain in the short term and increases your chances of any infection being mild in the medium-to-long term. Phrasing it like this makes it sounds like it gives full immunity, which only takes a few examples of people getting it twice for the skeptics to declare it all lies.

If you have been exposed to Omicron the antibodies from Omicron gives you back protection against Delta - one of the reasons Delta has been replaced in the UK (now 97% Omicron in cases)

Also, my gosh, everyone needs to stop regarding Dr John Campbell as the full stop on Covid.

His videos are good, he does a great job of explaining the science and stats in a simple form, and breaking down the complexities of the situation to make it accessible to a broad audience. There's no denying that.

He is NOT however the Gospel of Truth when it comes to Covid19. He's just putting the science in simpler English for people who are struggling to understand it.

Exactly. He gives his take on the data that is available to everyone. I don't think he claims anything else but his videos are being linked to as "The Facts" when they in reality are just his musings and interpretations. Non-expert ones too just like the rest of us - yes he is a doctor, but he's neither a virologist nor an epidemiologist.

well if you find any better, more accurate and more up to date info then please post it

What's posted isn't the problem, posting it as facts/conclusions is the problem. I won't be doing that with any info and I'm saying that everyone should take it with a large pinch of salt when anyone else does.
