[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1068730, member: 74121"] Alternative headline BBC elected not to go with is "Study shows less than 50% of hospitalised with Covid-19 confirmed as being admitted specifically for Covid-19". (61 out of 126 in the study) [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-59912644[/URL] I would imagine with Omicron being so much more transmissable and infection rates in the community being so high, that this is warping hospitalisation rates to a greater extent than previous variants. It must also be inflating death stats more. Although, there is no doubt Omicron in winter is putting a strain on things. Also not sure how BBC let this article past the editor, where they mention 300 UK deaths per day from the 2017/18 flu. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-59909860[/URL] And finally. 1st booster holding up well against severe illness after 12 weeks, but risk of becoming mildly infectious massively increases (so personally I'll be advising my elderly relatives to continue isolation for a bit longer, and isolating myself so I can deal with them safely).
