Time will tell. The ratios have actually improved since the previous week's survey. Good news also today that England's "R" number has dropped below 1. That should see infections and ultimately deaths fall over the next few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good given I'm making an appearance at the London office where I work next week.

The local Uni campus has over 200 cases and continues to rocket ever upwards. (150 the week previous). The infection rates in my area are 50% higher than the average in England. Happy days. I’m writing to my MP just now to ask him if we can change the definition of ‘mild’ to ‘not infectious’ right this minute. I’ll revert to you when he gets back to me.

Latest is the unvaccinated are 8 times more likely to be hospitalised than those fully vaccinated.

Rocco_Jambo Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 In furtherance to your post I absolutely love that your link to the BMJ article has its first footnote and source as Boris Johnson. Johnson, on a visit to a vaccine centre, said he had been told by some doctors that up to 90% of patients with COVID-19 in intensive care had not received their booster vaccines. "I'm sorry to say this, but the overwhelming majority of people who are currently ending up in intensive care in our hospitals are people who are not boosted," he said. "I've talked to doctors who say the numbers are running up to 90% of people in intensive care." Hear say from Boris Johnson now that really is something you can go to war on.

Jambo-Jimbo Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Hopefully this is another sign that we are learning to live with covid and trying to get back to something like normal. Today I had my first face to face check-up since covid appeared, over the last year or so it's only been blood tests and then a follow up call from the doctor, but today it was my full MOT from the practice nurse. Lets hope this trend continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
