So using the worst case 60% there's actually only 567 people in hospital because of Covid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, about 40-60% depending on vaccine coverage, prior infection, etc. Given how low the ICU numbers are, about 60% of admissions being incidental seems pretty accurate, so ~380 in hospital 'for' covid seems about right. Of course, some of us predicted that the hospitals would empty by Easter. I didn't quite expect it two months early. 2 hours ago, oaksoft said: Maybe it's because of her saying things like this just one month apart. The woman is a fraud and it's some comfort to know she's being seen as such in some quarters - even if it's the lockdown nutter quarter. After *two years* and a ~90%+ vaxxed/boosted population (~99%+ in the old/vulnerable), along with so many people having had it anyway, it will *never* be enough for the Psycho Brigade. Places in East Asia like Hong Kong that 'kept it out' for two years are now being absolutely f**ked.

ICTChris Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 Terms like ‘gaslighting’ and ‘virtue signalling’ have specific meanings which are useful descriptions but they have just become used to mean “thing I don’t like”. The term “woke” is less well defined and therefore less meaningful to start with but has also just become a way for people to say “I don’t like this thing”. I saw some unnamed Tory MP say that his colleagues putting in letters against Boris Johnson were “woke”. The other day The Star ran a front page calling a pub that wasn’t selling Heineken “woke”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
