Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Does that mean that 1500 ish got a positive on an antigen test and never went for a pcr or naybe that many were false positives on the antigen or a bit of both.

You have to do 3 (I think) antigen tests so its possible some are the same case with 2 positive tests.

The swabs numbers are always slightly higher than cases for that reason. Sometimes people have 2 tests but its just one case of covid.

That or false positives on the antigen tests.

1,800 PCR's wouldn't make much of a difference to the positivity rate. The data on those school antigen tests is junk data really imo. They tried to claim only around 3% positivity rate on them when they only counted positive cases that were reported using the qr code on the antigen test kit.

So if a child gets a positive result on one and it gets confirmed via PCR it will be recorded as a "community infection" case unless the parent chose to report it via the qr code on the test kit. Its almost designed to keep school cases artificially low.

The positivity rate had been dropping until about 4 or 5 days ago. Antigen tests are absolutely picking up cases though - begs the question why we didnt roll them out months ago.

It would depending on how it’s recorded if was staggered or dropped in, in a back log mate.

I think we both know the answer to the question mate, public health and Goverment are determined to keep the schools open. It’s like their hill in Vietnam, they say schools and socialising around it isn’t a problem when the dogs in the street know it clearly is and has a systemic effect of seeding from school to home, it was driving the Delta wave we saw last months.

My favourite piece of health advice from the dept of Education so far was when they said it was fine to spend 6 hours maskless in a classroom of 30+ but that a kids party with the same kids ( usualy an hour) should be avoided.

The UKHSA do absolutely superb work with the timeliness, depth and breadth of their Covid data.

So one person getting seriously ill or worse from a jab who would have normally had mild symptoms from COVID is sound?

Koff lad you're utterly brainwashed!

Read the academic literature on those who've had blod clots, myocarditis, Pericarditis, strokes, GCA, Vasculitis, Gullian Barre Syndrome etc from the jabs but you need to do a bit of digging for that as the MSM doesn't like broadcasting that just Covid case numbers without context lol

Well I've had bad pain in my arm/nerves 5 months after my 2nd jab (started 2 days after).

If young lads and lasses (who have more chance of getting struck by a bus than of dying of covid particularly this new variant) are happy taking booster after booster every 3 months based on the media telling them too then more fool them imo if they suffer any adverse albeit rare reactions.

I have no problem with my ma/arl fella and nan taking it as its keeping them safe but those under 30 for example?

Needs to be more science and less scaremongering when these decisions are being made.

Well make ya mind up mate, you said anyone under 50 last post now it's anyone under 30.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Well make ya mind up mate, you said anyone under 50 last post now it's anyone under 30.

In fairness anyone under 50 and is "healthy" who's double jabbed doesn't need a booster every 3 months either but I was making the point more so in the under 30's who'll happily accept risks from the jabs for "freedom" even when said jabs are unnecessary in the time frame they are being given em!

Scary times.

Well I guess it's a case if we need to start having boosters every 3 months mate we'll cross that road.

Same goes for anyone under 30, up to each individual to decide when the time comes. But going back to the original point that you made - if anyone decides to take it 1, 2, 3 vaccines or a booster that doesn't make them at fault for anything when you mentioned anyone under 50 would have a lot to answer for.

Have they suspended the coracle to Birkenhead?

What makes me laugh about the vaccine conspiracy folk we see in here, is the strange idea that they have access to this rich mine of alternative information, that they and only they, have access to, and the ‘normies‘ just never get to see this compelling information, because its all hidden by the elite, or the agenda. What is this source of information? ‘Well, It’s called - “The Internet”, and it has hidden informative treasures like ‘Russell Brand on YouTube’ and ‘Allison Pearson on twitter’’

Yeah. We’ve seen it. It’s bunkum.

Apparently the only 2 channels available to anyone that has been vaxxed is Sky news and the BBC

I look forward to Jeff Stelling giving us a free Sky Bet of £50 for every booster taken.
