Boris Johnson, the UK prime minister, has announced that all over-18s will be offered a vaccine by the end of December.

Daily vaccinations are expected to ramp up from the current 530,000 to 1 million. The record is 830,000, which was set in March.

[BenG]

More than half of the double-vaccinated population have received their booster jab in the UK.

[BenG]

52% of cases in London are of the Omicron variant.

People will flu/cold symptoms are also more likely to be ill with COVID than the former two.

Cases are exceptionally bad in my state....again.

Half my office has covid. Most aren't vaccinated. I'm shocked (as far as I know..) the vaccine has protected me so far. I've been around so many positive cases it's almost overwhelming and not surprising anymore.

[Miaou]

Omicron is here  40%/50% cases 

see the form of the curve at the end  +22% cases for Paris in 24 hours this is insane 

[Miaou]

Breaking 

Omicron represents 50% of the cases in the region of Paris for this weekend 

 

80% this Wednesday

 

The incidence rate in Paris was at 700 4 days ago and its now at 830  we're coming for 2000 easily 

Blue line = incidence rate of Paris

Pink Line = Delta

Black Line = Omicron

Hmmm

Wouldn’t this be a function of tests performed as well?

Well yes but the data is kinda overwhelming. You don’t need that big of a sample size to get accurate data.

As in the more you test, the more the number of breakthrough infections but number of hospitalisations would remain the same, leading to a smaller percentage.

[GagaSine]

I've read that mild cases tend to have more instances of long covid, which is pretty scary.

Booster appointments just dropped today so I booked one but it's not until February 24th.  Hopefully some new appointments will be added and I can get it a bit sooner than that...

Oh okay I see what you mean. I guess that makes sense but even then the data still seems to be pointing to the fact that breakthrough infections rarely lead to hospitalizations.

3% is not exactly rarely. The UK is easily going to see more than 100k daily cases, which means more than 3k daily hospitalisations, assuming all cases are breakthrough. For reference, the peak was ~4k in Jan 2021.

Fair enough but 3k out of 100k would still make it uncommon and still not warrant the need to lock everything down, in my opinion. In fact I don’t see any need for locking anything down regardless of how many people get infected. That’s just not a viable solution to this. Limit gatherings and enforce mask mandates, sure. 

The UK has barely any restrictions tbh. A good portion of the population doesn’t wear a mask when entering shops. Not even one official guidance on social gatherings. Only significant thing was working from home.

Incidence rate of Paris for the 20-29 years old adult :

From 809 to 1435 in 3 days

 

yeah every young Parisian will be infected

Hmmm

Pls

[Miaou]

13K new cases in Denmark the equivalence of 160K+ cases in 24 hours in France/UK

we better pray that it won’t affect the hospitals

Well there’s more people in London 

So ?

So it makes sense that there will be more hospital admissions there. 

Yeah of course but did you see the rise of the curve?
