[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1083370, member: 74121"] While Scotland experienced record hospitalisation records from Covid it's appears to have been decided that Wednesday is the perfect time to move away from daily stats updates (to monthly?). There is zero in writing to confirm this that I can see, but some of the medical experts doing the rounds are saying that Covid is incidental in between 66% and 75% of the hospitalisations. This seems hard to accept given the vanilla Omicron rate had comparable cases levels in society and an equivalent rate of "over a third" (believed 33-40%). The subvariant would have to be radically different to lead to such a change. It can't be ruled out though as apparently excess deaths are not problematic (although again, I've not seen anything in writing because apparently for journalists, numbers are tough). There is also a lot of yapping up here by the same experts about Deltacron being a real thing in Scotland. But from what I've read it remains possible this is just isolated incidents of people having both strains in their system (as was suggested in Cyprus when this was first suggested) rather than community transmission. All in all, I remain not particularly concerned but would really benefit from a grown up analysis of the situation by a reputable person like Van Tam (by far the best of a bad bunch to me) rather than the guys and girls with really shaky track records during this pandemic.
