That hasn’t been a feature of any Covid strain. Average 5 days, max 14 days.

Omicron supposedly has a shorter incubation period (symptoms appear faster) on average.

70% of boosted people wont experience any symptoms at all, but given the infection rate is doubling nearly every day, it doesn't stay dormant at all. Also, the original variant usually showed itself in 5 days so i don't know where you got 4 weeks from

I remember way back at the start, it was four weeks after the rugby 6 nations fixtures, in particular, the wales v scotland game, that it all started kicking off in scotland.

I'm sure that's when it was said, maybe I'm wrong though.

But I do know of someone who caught it from his welsh host whilst in wales for the rugby, and he started taking seriously I'll 4 weeks later, he spent the next 2 months on a ventilator.

it can take 2 weeks for the illness to progress to needing hospital, thats common, and what happened to Boris, then 2 weeks in intensive care where you either start recovering or die usually within 2 weeks ... so that takes 4 weeks


With the growth of infections, i wouldnt be suprised if we break 100k infections tomorrow

Mmmm I thought it got ‘going’ FASTER than all the other variants ... shorter incubation.

There is some data that suggests Omicron has more like a 2-3 day incubation period, whereas almost all previous Covid cases were 4-6 days (some longer but vast majority in that range).

Remember when people used to use the phrase when talking about the flu "there's a lot of it going around" I remember them days, still, I never even thought of getting a flu jab when I heard that. Flu was a killer, thankfully it doesn't seem to exist anymore.

By the way, big crowd at the darts tonight, not a mask in sight.

I predict now that the Semi finals and the Final won’t have any audience .. so the atmosphere will be krap

The problem is many will
carry on spreading Covid
as they do not have the Funds to stop working.

That a massive error by the Government.

[Beso]

The government are ****ing hopeless.

It Omicron symptoms are milder and we're going to have to live with high case numbers then maybe they should cut the isolation time for a positive test

Sure it will be great if it IS indeed milder than Delta but that could mean fewer deaths but millions in intensive care or at least needing hospital care ..

I’m genuinely terrified ... I’ve still got the next two days working in a high school

No it could not

You may as well spend all day stressing about a meteor strike

The masks make not one bit of difference. The politicians know this, the media know this, the doctors know this, why don't you?

To the politicians it's just a symbol of control and power over us. To the media it's just a theatre prop.

[arista]

Yes but Peston and Tom Newton Dunn
are doing Daily Tests.

[bots]

Regular testing is the way to approach this i think. I did an 8 hour round trip on the train last weekend including central london and have tested myself every couple of days just to make sure im not unclean
