They done the right thing when it came to the omicron variant, maybe more luck than anything else, but that's a different story Don't have a chip on my shoulder bud. I like England and have family and friends there. I just can't stand the way arguments are framed to make Scotland look bad. I'm not sure if England took the right steps.

How many of them were tested for flu? and how many died of FLU but were counted as covid? As I understand it from a doctor in the USA you need to test further to find out if it's covid or flu. IF this is the case, how many were fully tested? You can manipulate figures to say virtually anything. My main point is the fake reporting by the media that are still using the 28 day period as counting as a covid death. As I said, tested positive 28 days ago and by current standards you are clear after 7 or 5 days depending on who you quote, so if you then die of stroke how can that possibly be quoted as a covid death? Sorry you clearly don't have a clue. Covid tests are to show Covid, they do not show if you have the flu.

This is incorrect. The Covid19 PCR is Covid19-specific. We've covered this already on the thread, probably multiple times. https://www.nebraskamed.com/COVID/pcr-test-recall-can-the-test-tell-the-difference-between-covid-19-and-the-flu https://www.fda.gov/media/139745/download Effectively the multiplex test provides results for both Covid19 and flu, but individually, not as an overall result that could mean one or the other.

This virus, like some others, gains no reproductive advantage via becoming less deadly. It performs it's reproductive cycle regardless of how ill it makes it's host. It infects... it replicates... it transmits onwards... all entirely independently of subsequent illness. if a virus kills the host the second it infects them how does it get transmitted other than via the person who finds them dead and undertakers - wouldn’t it be better killing them on day 3 and giving the host a couple of days to spread it around wasnt that a weakness with sars that made it easier to contain in that it made people genuinely ill quite quickly so naturally made them isolate quite quickly - again a touch less severe would have created more transmission opportunities ? dont know the answer but intuitively there is a case to be made for a virus benefitting from weakening as per the examples above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite. The virus gains evolutionary advantages to become dominant and to be able to find hosts and transmit on to other hosts. But it has no intelligence to enable it to think about running out of hosts. It doesn't work like that. If the weakening virus theory was anywhere near to being a thing then it would have been observed by now. But there are no such examples known. What has been seen is the effects of viruses diminishing due to immunisation. Some very old viruses of the past still exist in the same form they were when they caused pandemics of the past. But they don't cause any harm because of immune defences and memory that has built up. Nucky's link above suggests that Omicron is less severe, even after adjusting for prior immunisation. It needs to be confirmed and studied more but it would be more or less new when it comes to human viruses. That in itself is not some kind of impossible thing. Scientific discoveries occur. Perhaps it might even add a bit more weight to the theory that this virus is too unusual to be absolutely natural.

Or should I check back in another few weeks? The dentist claims the tusnami will last till at least Feb !

I do see the goalposts have changed from my post a few weeks ago though. Posters on here now changing their stance in favour of us now ‘having to live with it’.

Yeah well their lords and masters (snp) Are almost saying that now , so they are following suit . . Scared to be disloyal to them I suppose . Me and a few others on this have been saying live with it for a very long time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leitch needs to be put out to pasture along with Sturgeon. Both have over stepped their authority and it's time for them to go. If that was the cae, then there would be no more flu, correct?
