[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1070335, member: 74121"] A study indicates that deaths in England & Wales within 28 days of a positive Covid-19 test but not assessed as having been caused by Covid ran at around 15% in the months prior to Xmas (primarily Delta). In the week after Xmas this rose by ~50% to 22% (primarily Omicron). Given that cases doubled between the week before Xmas and New Years day, I'd guesstimate that this figure will have risen to somewhere between 25 & 50% during the last week of peak deaths (for Omicron). This would make the current daily death figure for the UK of ~260 per day actually nearer 130 to 195. Scotland has just announced it'll be lifting all restrictions and guidance except for isolation when positive, masks, vaccine certificates, regular tests and working from home where possible. Essentially indicating we'll be attempting to manage this as an endemic and that peak deaths from Omicron are something medically and politically tolerable. It is burning out quicker than I was expecting to be honest. I was thinking we would be in this position by this time next month. I might have to start looking at gigs scheduled for February at this rate. :) [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-60000391[/URL] [/QUOTE]
