Every day the vaccine rolls out

[Chick A Saw]

Hospitalisations are going up (810 up from 679 the day before) but intensive care admission is not (down in fact, 36 to 34 overnight).

I think its important to differentiate with people in hospital of 810, as opposed to daily hospitalizations which amounted to 479 for the week to the 24th. There is another figure of 1429 for people delayed in hospital, whatever that means.

I hope that the latest Covid anti-virals are keeping the In Hospital numbers around the 800 mark and keep the pressure off the NHS and those daily admissions are reduced by getting ahead with the booster programme.

and it really is scary to hear him talking now as he is utterly brain washed by the propaganda spouted by these morons. He isn't a bad guy but my mates and myself are genuinely worried about him.
He still insists that we are the ones who have been brain washed whilst trying to convince us that the earth is flat

is this an SNP supporter you talk of?

Omicron largely evades immunity from past infection or two vaccine doses

New study adds more evidence for omicron immune evasion

The good news about Omicron is it is knocking out the more dangerous strain Delta. If the hospitalisation and death needle doesn't move substantially then we are moving in the right direction. Vaccinations kept Delta hospital numbers down. it should do the same with Omicron even with high case numbers. Unfortunately in other parts of the world, ie sub-Saharan Africa, vaccinations are low. If this is to be ended once and for all the whole world needs to be part of the vaccination programme as we can see how quickly the virus can spread from one part of the world to another.

africa is f ucked again mate, we got told the other day we need to start the 14 days quarantine sh1te again, dunno why as i know for a fact there will be no ex pat offshore workers in any hospitals in f ucking Luanda.

Hospitals are rammed so we're told, 20% of doctors and nurses are not working due to contracting it.

Just got our 4/4 rotas agreed to and thats us back to a 7/5

No politics now . He's Swedish (supports Gothenberg). He talks of reptiles controlling the world but I've informed him that Aberdonians aren't that clever.

Headlines like the ones you have quoted are precisely the problem that is making all of this such a mess. Those studies are pieces of evidence for sure but are not the full picture that would support the conclusion.

As for vaccinating Africa; If the vaccine does not stop transmission of the virus, How is vaccinating Africa going to make any difference to the progress of the virus around the world?

The bottom line is that you can’t stop transmission of a respiratory virus once it is endemic in the population. You can slow it to an extent - maybe - but at huge cost in money and collateral damage of lives and life quality lost.

Thankfully Omicron moves coronavirus back towards the realms of The sort of bad flu season we have dealt with for decades. So we should start treating it as such, and not as the unknown emergency it was when it first emerged.

How ****ing ridiculous is the Scottish game where Celtic can request to have games postponed if they have 3 internationalists missing but we have to field 16 year olds because of ****ing covid. Our governing body is an absolute embarrassment.

Clubs going to push for increased capacities if current restrictions continue. Will be interesting to see how this pans out. Current restrictions have done absolutely nothing to stop the spread, so does Sturgeon impose more, tighter restrictions or does she continue to take the easy option & blame sports fans and those with social lives?

It's not 'Sturgeon'. It is the Scottish Executive. She is the spokesperson. I dislike the singularisation of politics. When you hear it applied to 'Boris' or 'Boris Johnson' I cringe. Fancy that buffoon deciding anything alone.
