Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Neiler]

We started the third dose in work this week.

Going to be a tough winter, can see the increase already anecdotally, while we’re seeing norovirus as well.

Flu season is on us, game on.

So there will be a fourth dose after 6 months? There isn't sufficient evidence to support that much vaccination.

I don’t think they have decided that, as far as I’m aware they are just building in the mechanism in case as presumably lot easier to do that and adapt as needed.

Agree on the lack of current evidence to support a 4th shot.

However Covid has surprised us all multiple times so a little forward planning for contingency measures doesn’t seem unreasonable.

No hospital figures reported for today, last Saturday’s late revealed total was 127

All settings - for the 28 day cut off, 148 deaths were announced today, up 6 on yesterday and up 15 on last Saturday. The 7 day rolling average rises to 118.57

For the 60 day cut off, 184 deaths were announced today, up 20 on yesterday and down 10 on last Saturday. The 7 day rolling average falls to 144.14

I mean we have flu vaccinations every year. This is not a new thing

Another prediction, just like the one about 1000 deaths a day by this point, aimed at scaremongering the public

Of course dear, it's why every ambulance service in the country is on "black alert" you silly old man...

First of all don’t belittle me, second of all I’m in no way old, I’m only 36, thirdly the cases increasing are in no way reflecting in the number of deaths at present so yes it is media scaremongering

Haha.
As a Brian, I get the reverse “Dear Brain” all the time.
Got “Dear Bran” last week. That one got me

Suggest you go and look at the definition of "black alert" and what it actually mean s for the ambulance service and NHS.

Twice the infection rate of other major European countries, far higher death rate than other major European countries. Yet the media is misleading British electorate thousands of avoidable deaths because 'scare mongering' - to coin a phrase. Grow up and don't be so bloody stupid.

Strange how we have twice the infection rate than other European countries when we have twice the vaccination rate of most European countries.
