China Coronavirus

[seafoid]

ROI weekly update.

426 in hospital (ten fewer than last Sunday)
91 in ICU (16 fewer than a week ago)

Highest weekly case number (59147) here since the pandemic began the previous high was in January 45770 and the week ahead will likely bring another big increase in cases.

While much more transmissible fingers crossed this is a milder variant and the high vaccine uptake doesn't bring us back to last January hospital figures or worse.

Thanks to vaccination
Even 70% coverage is decent

Make you think no need for booster or too early to say?

Won't know for another few weeks if this variant is truly weaker or not though Denmark who have the omicron variant longer than us might give a decent example to what will come.

Denmark has a simliar size population, winter with a lot of indoor mixing and high vaccine uptake and surge in cases. Their hospital numbers are currently half to what it was in their January peak.  Boosting as many as possible especially the vulnerable aged groups before the surge in cases was the sensible approach to take.

All North-West testing centres booked out all day. I'd say with high percentage of folk not bothering to wear masks (grown adults not wearing masks has really started to grate on me, arseholes the lot of them, unless genuinely exempt of course) , the amount of socialising and the likes of Anne McCloskey and her growing social media lunatic army (bulging with PTs who are experts in press ups and virology) continuously spreading nonsense, the numbers in Derry City will be off the charts in the next week or 2.

Funny you mention masks, I notice at least a 1/3 of people in shops not wearing masks, mostly the younger 20 age group. It hard to enforce when then shop owners didn't refuse to service same persons from day 1.

I was in Derry on Christmas Eve. Couldn't believe the number without masks, seriously the worst I've seen in both the shopping centres.

People don't give a shit any more re masks. Businesses will complain about passports, lockdowns etc etc but won't implement the most basic of measures.
When you're in a shop wear a mask.

Yeah but we'll have the head of hospitality NI saying we should be trusted to operate responsibly.

I have to laugh at Tony H. telling us all what to do? It's like a video analyst shouting from the stands over the Manager instructions to a team on the field of play!

Fearmonkers, How is the Casedemic coming along? Sure ye'll be alright ye have had 3 shots to save yourselves from it.

Your crowd i'd do anything to get young kids to line up for Vaccinations.

Even over hype a variant from Africa!

I know, imagine giving kids vaccines? Like trusting the experts, utter madness. In all seriousness, if social media, online grifters etc were around when the MMR was first being administered, folk as gullible as yourself would have brought the percentage way down causing untold additional deaths. Daft beyond belief

Take a day off and spend some time with people that give a fuk about you.
