My shoulder is still frozen / strained from when I had my booster 4 weeks ago. Annoying.
Anyway, I thought this was a very interesting thread showing some good news and reasons why the pressures on hospitals are different this time around.

That’s a short window to finally eat the stuff from the back of the fridge ;-)
the danish expert (Whitty equivalent) is talking about the ‘whole thing’ being back to normal within 2 months. She is referring to our numbers as well as their own to form her conclusion.
I guess we are at a state to ‘live with it’ is what she is meaning.

Read a lot of it, but not all. Very similar to some of what Dr John Campbell was talking about in his daily update yesterday. I don't usually watch him, but did last night by pure chance, it was an interesting watch.
Very sore throat, thick head and freezing cold - tracksuit and duvet not working, heating’s on too.
LFT being delivered by the Policia Local later this afternoon. Hoping, after double jab and booster, that this is just a cold.

As he points out, one of the factors in the cases > hospitalisations > deaths relationship is the age-mix of the affected population. We already know that younger people are much less likely to need hospitalisation or to die from Covid than older people. So far, Omicron has affected a younger than previously affected demographic because the unvaccinated are mostly younger. If Omicron begins to affect more vaccinated, and likely older, people, the conversion rates from case to hospitalisations will change.

Honest conversation between people I know on Messanger about a New Years eve party I decided not to go to:
Person 1: Just heard that xxxxx at the party has just tested positive.
Rest of Group: That is OK, we do not really know them and did not spend any time near them on NYE.
Me: You do realise that she may have caught it on NYE rather than having brought it with her and someone else at the party could of spread it
Loud Sound of Penny Dropping
Rest of Group: Ah, we better get tested then
Sometimes I just want to weep

Sister and b-in-law both tested positive (also triple jabbed). Good news is a few days of feeling rough and they're feeling pretty much back to normal.

People are going to catch it - it’s seems to be migrating into the winter flu but seems a lot more contiguous
When do we as a country or maybe human race start to move towards it being treated in the same way ? Feel Ill - don’t go to work or socialise , anything else just carry on , get a yearly booster if you feel vunerable towards the virus
We need to learn to live with it - the flu takes peoples lives as well
When is it time for us to let it be a part of our lives and not define our lives

It really is not the winter flu. One day, it may be, but it isn't yet. Even with milder outcomes, Covid is still much more dangerous than flu. The flu does not put otherwise decently healthy middle aged or young people in hospital. And we haven't seen the effects of Omicron as it moves into the vaccinated population, i.e. older people, nor the longer term inflammatory effects in people who think they had a mild course. Allowing it to run also increases the chance another variant emerges and there is no guarantee the next one will be mild or less transmissible.

Agreed. I can't say 100% for sure but I don't expect flu would have killed my 53 year old friend...

I'm surprised the single use plastic brigade aren't all over this....... I guess they could be but it's not being publicised.

Totally agree. Interesting that of the 6 we currently have only one in totally unvaccinated and 2 are fully vaxed without any existing co-morbidities. I don't know if these are Omicrom or not but it still amazes me how random these virus is and can affect people so severely and yet others are left feeling unwell for a few days and then get back to normal. Definitely not comparable to winter flu at this stage
