Nucky Thompson Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Just now, Gordon Zola said: But not death in everyone? No. Roughly, say if 100 people were going to die pre vaccine, 92 would now survive and 8 would probably still die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's around 99.1% according to full fact. That's in relation to developing Covid-19. I'm not sure if maybe the 99.97% thing relates to the survival rate of those catch SARS-CoV-2. Edit: their article itself is confusing as the social media claim they rebuff is that "the virus has a 99.97% recovery rate" and then they go on to rebuff that by exclusively talking about Covid-19 and don't actually address that claim.

As far as the UK is concerned, 8,000,000 recorded cases have resulted in 137,000 deaths. That's approx 1 in 59 (or 1.7%) across the board. Obviously, the older age groups have a higher risk than younger folk, but it's still a scary number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also have to factor in all the unrecorded cases (the people who had it and never even knew they had it and those who've tested positive on an LFT but never gone for a PCR or registered their result). It's not a number I'd lose sleep over tbh even if I caught it...which of course most people haven't. I'm not playing it down or anything btw.

Victorian Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 10 minutes ago, **** the SPFL said: thing is Vic when you get down to a lowish level there will always be spikes now and again Quite annoying. I'll be keen to see the small increases of the last 2 days be a small blip and reverse again. At the moment the national incidence and rate seem to have settled down into something akin to a pattern or trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shout on taking it though, it was high on the list of recommended vitamins pre COVID and featured in numerous prophylactic regimes recommended by the medical profession to combat the effects of COVID. I need to get my vitamin d levels to a good level due to other health reasons but it’s a bonus if it also helps re covid . It’ll be interesting to me see what my levels are as I have asked repeatedly for this test but was refused . Even bought an online testing kit but struggled to get any blood out of me !! It was as thick as porridge 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t mind buying it at all . I’ve bought loads and not needing A script for it . As for budgets well it’s a false economy really if it isn’t provided to people who maybe can’t afford it . Plenty money for bikes and laptops though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucky Thompson Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 The UK government have now updated their website to include vaccination figures for everyone over 12. 89.8% have had a 1st dose and 82.5% have had both doses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's kind of irritating me a wee bit as well - we may well be going to settle into a long-term "living with Covid" plateau but I'd prefer that the cases were lower than they are currently for that plateau so that we can keep the hospitalisations and deaths to a minimum.
