I'm still here BatonRouge, why?
You still here Scott ?
Woah Steady, I just read about Dr Andreas Noak, that is some crazy s#it!
This story has to explode, surely!
HotBlack - there was also a study done in May this year that believed the true figure for the UK was 209,000.
As always, there are lies, damned lies and statistics.
I know a home office pathologist who back in the early days of the pandemic when we were being told the virus stayed on a surface for 3 days, she found it still 'alive' after 19 days
Evening Steady - fear not, I shall pop slices of hot buttered toast under the door to sustain you until such times as it's safe to come out. Jam available upon request.
In other news, the Germans do have a bit of previous (oops, too soon?).
HBD. Yes 100 %. I mention here my concerns but the persons being diagnosed as passing with not from covid after I believe it got updated to 60 days and increased pcr cycle tests that can effectively find a needle in a haystack has created hysteria.
If you get 5 mins look up Dr Andreas Noack.
See how long this post lasts ;-)
It's madness. Just look at what Germany are introducing. I'm scared shi#tless.
Hi Scott, didn't someone point out the death figures were questionable? I think the example they used was even if you died in a car crash within 28 days of a positive test then that was counted in the covid death figures.
One thing to be aware of that if you have been recorded as having Covid and then get it again, it is not recorded in the daily figures. So just because we're not seeing a lot of new cases being reported doesn't mean they're not happening.
It's the same for the deaths, the current figure of 145,281 is only for those within 28 days of a positive test. Take that up to within 60 days and you can add another 21,000
I’ve just got home from West Africa today,a lot of the population is vaccinated,that I know for a fact. Very little mask wearing anywhere,especially in the crowded city centre. Cases are VERY low so maybe something in Thoths theory,if we were crowded in like I witnessed the last 6 days we would get smashed with new cases.
Back to the real news of the day Thoth2 if you’d be so kind.
Scarlette in Aruba. If I wasn’t commissioning 2 new tablet presses (b*st*rd antiquated things) I’d join you at 4pm. Not literally. That’d be just weird.
All I got for today I’m afraid.
Article summary below. But as an example lagos population 14m. Lots of international travel. No social distancing. Crowded conditions. Zilch in hospital. Personally have been keeping an eye on africa as via marriage have inherited some property and various inlaws.

Pat & Mick on the same day.
Do we need to summon the peelers.
Good luck all genuine holders.
Paddy,
You'll have to try a bit harder than that.

"Many governments in Africa acted early to contain the pandemic, and on 22nd April 2020, the World Health Organization highlighted examples of how Africa was leading the global response. Measures such as early border closures, less international connectivity, and lockdowns helped lower the caseload.
Many models have shown a larger incidence of SARS-CoV-2 in urbanized regions, owing to dense living conditions. A large share of the African population (55%) lives in rural areas, leading to lower case numbers. In terms of demographics, only 3% of the African population is over 65, and they live at home with extended families. This is quite different from wealthy countries, where a large number of deaths have been owing to super-spreading events in care homes."
Read an article this morning pointing to two easons for a lower death rate associated with OMICRON variant in SA ;
1) Only 5% of population over 65 ... so the demographic is much younger age group &
2) Less hospitalisation only because its in early stages .. takes several weeks to grab hold ... at which point they do expect hospital cases to ramp up
SO overall no one is still sure how the OMI version will play out .... but it s spreading rapidly across the globe ... already 30+ cases here and it was only the other day they were recording 50 cases in SA .... that is a pretty powerful transmission rate
Thoth old bean. Low cases in Africa may be a result of their very low vax rate. Kind of obvious. Pg
Mercks oral antiviral only narrowly got approved. Suggesting a reluctance to precribe and use in future. We may be the only oral treatment that gets widely adopted.
Looks like c19 will be here for years and may not get less deadly. Good example is measles. been around tens of thousands of years but still a killer.
Final and to me fascinating new research/conjecture. There has been a surprising lack of deaths in africa from the previous and current variant. Some interesting lab work suggests there may be a related but harmless coronovirus that has been endemic in africa for a while. That is conferring some herd immunity. Be interesting to see if low mortality translates to europe. Anyway fack to important stuff scarlette Douglas in Aruba currently for my entertainment.
