    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The situation is a lot more nuanced than your analysis might suggest. All figures quoted refer to England Taking your obvious ratio of 36% unvaxxed and 64% vaxxed for Covid as hospital admissions in the current period , that doesn't imply that they are being admitted for Covid related...

    The house is sufficiently large and his own bedroom has its own shower etc . He has his meals at a different table . But conventional wisdom is that with Delta , every one in the house gets it , and double that for Omicron... But so far so good... Today would have been the earliest...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This might seem nitpicking , but there is a difference between ICUs and Hospital Beds. Now if the unvaccinated were twice or three times more likely to need ICU , than the vaxxed, both statements are consistent. Incidentally we are currently experimenting with Covid isolation within my house...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't think the implication was that there were pits under the Hammersmith Flyover with 4000 bodies stashed away, but that the deaths were attributed to other causes .. but like I say I didn't follow that argument. And I might have expected it to be repeated in the rest of England statistics...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The fundamental point you are making , I agree with,..that there are indigenous diseases and indigenous populations. with levels of immunity .and the reverse was true , in that Europeans did not survive well in the Tropics, where they encountered novel infections. But the extrapolation of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I have attempted to make sense of the figures again and again.. There is an interesting addendum in the Figures for London ... This is a table identifying all deaths , locations ,whether in or out side hospitals. It makes the case that the number of deaths outside formal settings of...

    .. actually the Induction plate is less efficient than a radiant electric plate ..provided it has a suitable sized Pan . Whereas the size is irrelevant with induction . And of course my gas hob only uses a fraction of a watt to energise the ignitor

    No comment about Blair.. but about the iron or steel pans and induction heating causing magnetism in the pan. The induction magnetic field is in the order of 30KHz ..so is alternating at this rate. It needs a thick ferromagnetic material to induce sufficient eddy currents . Since the field...

    Forgive me if I am wrong, but was not your contention in that previous post that the" lie" was that they were claiming 59% of 3 jab boosted when the figure was only supportive of 50%?. Was not your contention in the previous post that "they" were claiming much higher infection rates. And...

    If the population of the UK is 66 Million , and there are 3.3 million in the 0 to 4 , 3.5million in the next category and another 3.3 Million in the remainder of the under 14 age group, then the figure of potentially eligible candidates is now about 56M, .. Note population age statistics taken...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    According to the WorldometerJohn Hopkins figures 13 million out of the 66 million in the UK have now or had in the past 2 years contracted Covid. Thats a global figure of about 20%. Now I have often voiced scepticism about the UK data ,as erring on the low side.. But if one does one of those...

    "All the evidence coming out of SA for weeks has shown that Omicron is nothing like as bad as previous versions of the virus to people who had either been vaccinated or had previous infection.".... That is what it all hinges on. hopefully that is correct... , but are thew population profiles...

    ICU means something very very specific . A nursing ratio of 3 nurses to 1 bed , all the gizmos of mechanical ventilated breathing ,. There is an entire hierarchy of less critical care facilities

    If that is intended to imply that my figure of 92% is inaccurate, Please recheck . The fraction of the population below the currently vaccinatable threshold which was 12years and the time after the second dose after they are considered vaccinated makes up the difference . Those tables you...

    Note that the positive test cases in Ireland yesterday are the highest in the last 2 years, 16K. Hospital admission figures are also rising ... And this in a population with 92% vaccinated.

    They really cannot possibly know that yet ... It would be wonderful were it true . The only known truth is that Omicron is more contagious and initially does not seriously seem to affect people who have been vaccinated or previously infected.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The presumption that all infections now are Omicron is lazy thinking. Every single stain of the virus is out there in the wild. Its not as if the Omicron has any infection franchise ,and getting that variant, stops either yourself or your family getting Delta or Alpha or whatever. The only...
