Victorian Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Hospital and deaths numbers will probably be a bit sore for a couple of weeks due to the well documented time lag. They could be very high in fact. But if that positivity rate keeps on declining then this wave is more or less done in about 4-6 weeks. Then we'll have our 4th. The so-called exit wave. Vaccine coverage should suppress that quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it I am missing? Today's reported test positivity figure was 6.6%. However my table shows the 7-day average test positivity figure which smooths out the jumps and falls that the figure endures throughout the week (it is considerably variant). If you read back along the table, it allows a better view of where the rate is going (slowly declining in this case - 9.3, 9.5, 9.9, 9.7, 9.9, 9.9, 10.0) than the actual figures for the past week would give (6.6, 8.1, 11.5, 11.1, 11.2, 9, 9.9). Let me know if that hasn't explained it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoncurMacdonaldMercer Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 One of the good things about the retention of masks and some self-isolation rules is that it’ll help to provide an extra layer of protection for those who can’t get the vaccination i think up until Christmas was mentioned for masks but it wouldn’t surprise me if they’re retained for jan and feb too to help out the unvaccinated and more vulnerable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see the worry about the cases looking at that. Yep . The SG has to hold tight and recognise that these stats were inevitable and may continue upwards for a few weeks and then level out and drop . It’s important they don’t feel pressure from restrictions / lockdown zealots . They need to ge realistic in their approach in the future . To be fair they don’t seem be panicking , it’s only Some of the influencers ( scientists ) who seem to be . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The events and entertainment industry in Scotland is on its knees.

No politician will come out and say it, but there is a level of deaths that is being deemed acceptable. The stronger argument for the retention of some restrictions probably now relates more to hospitalisations, which will continue to rise while case numbers go up. If that continues unabated, then those advocating no restrictions will return to complaining about rising hospital waiting lists for cancer screening and other illnesses.

The hospitalisations argument is a good one, but I'm sure I read we are currently under what the NHS deals with during a bad winter in terms of respiratory issues (someone please correct if that is wrong). I'm also assuming, given it's been going 18 months now and we knew an 'opening up' was on the cards that things have been done to significantly increase capacity of the NHS and improve segregation of Covid patients and non-covid patients.

Covid isn’t the only game in town Whilst it's not a competition, anyone who's been offered both jags and not taken them, or has not heeded the warnings regards the other clear controllable metrics of risk (weight mainly) and then needs hospitalisation due to contracting Covid should be lower priority than people waiting for other things. I appreciate that's a can of worms and far more complicated than that but there you go. Also note I said controllable, I completely agree there are some people who's weight issues are due to other health issues.
