Though, you really shouldn’t tell lies. There is risk for young people. We know that young people are susceptible to long COVID and the complications that brings. This isn’t speculation, it’s scientifically backed and I’ve linked ONS figures before. The rates aren’t insignificant either. You’ve had the option to get your jab, they haven’t yet.

When, in your learned opinion, will the bodies start to stack up? With wider spread in the community, one thing that we will see is people in hospital who have covid, but not in hospital because of covid. It is vital we make that distinction when it happens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no reference to the actual article she has written. She’s simply asking what the calculation for the trade-offs is. Nothing wrong with transparency. The SAGE estimations on deaths and hospitalisations in different scenarios that are used by Boris are published. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect to see that we’ll be a couple more weeks before hospitalisations start trickling up. The rate in the UK at the moment is 2.65 per 100,000 population per the ONS though that’s currently doubling every 12 days. ONS said the peak rate in the UK was 36.02 per 100k in January off the top of my head. No forecast is expecting the rate to climb nearly that high in the UK. Yes. Just like they didn't in the UK We are told that even the hospitalisations are minor with hardly any needing ITU. Death rate due to COVID almost non existent Perhaps you should go and have lie down with a brandy and an icepack on your forehead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not at the same rate as they would in an unvaccinated population. The North East and Yorkshire are proving particular concern because of how cases are rising in vaccinated age groups. Vaccination rates aren’t vastly different either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
