Why do these antivaxers keep making stuff up?
We know some stay in a long time though so for a 2.8 average.... you reckon no 1's?? 2 days is still very short.Justin My Sp02 relaxed sitting is around 93%. Hyperventilate a bit and it goes to 95-96. Walk around or do just about anything and it goes to 95%. Relaxed and hands a bit cold and it goes to 95%. If I am cold and body say forget keeping hands warm it may drop to 90 - a borderline reading. That doesn't mean dead - it means getting near the point when it can cause problems. The unit comes with warnings about how to use it. LOL Yes I bought one. Used sensibly it can save bothering them if anyone here gets it.
Sounds like if you ever go in they might not let you out but they do have other ways of checking oxygen levels. Whole host of other things with blood tests too. Blood markers for all sorts of things are available from simple tests. It's probably how they detect underlying conditions. Some relate to what people have done recently though. My wife had a prediabetic test a few days after she ate a bunch of grapes. The readings also increase as people get older.
Youtube nuts - no thanks. There are all sorts around. On hospital stay durations it was easy to find reports via google. It's not now. Ok the ones I have seen don't relate to Omicron but given the same symptoms needed to get treated I don't think 24hrs is on. There are a number of things they use now to speed up recovery but that short is going too far. Some older number. 80% of people who will die do so within 14days of being admitted. Survival rate following mechanical ventilation is under 50% - making antivaxers look even more stupid. It seems high pressure air breathing is seen as another method of ventilating people suggesting it's an HDU treatment.
There is no way that 3days average means there must be some one days. For instance the average age of people who die from covid is rather high but believe it or not figures in the past have built up in a triangular shape from a few at 40 and there are always some younger. At 80+ there is a big jump and some of those will be 90 or older. Some of the really older recover. The fact there is a jump makes the average look high but it hides the fact that 50's die and also more likely to spend more time in hospital anyway.
Only thing at the moment that bugs me is they do not seem to be producing the usual weekly reports. No more specific Omicron info either but studies will appear at some point.
One thing Omicron should help with is re infection. The numbers of probables run at 1% last time I saw them but in many cases sequencing info isn't available to they have had to use symptoms to some extent. The official chance of it at the moment is 0.5%. Definite re infection based on sequencing is much lower. That should be cleared up pretty quickly now.
Know what you mean , we used to be able to compare bus drivers and taxi drivers...
!Sweden proves nothing.
You keep saying Itminion is wrong but you fail to say where or why.
Looks like tests may be hitting that point now even our own pcr testing. Politicians generally do not plan long term. They make noises to indicate they are doing something. Ours are reluctant to use compulsion. Taiwan's fines for instance for people who don't do what they should are large. China - people to some extent have to go along with what they are told to do. Korea's people are used to being monitored. Phones and card usage are tracked, Results thrown away after a certain number of days and the data is used for nothing else.
Your "only conclusion" doesn't allow for the fact that I don't have to answer the trolls.
This is the area that interests me most. Why the differences and what to do about them when they crop up. There has been 2 close misses in recent years and some countries learned from those as they were hit by them. This time round it seems (google) Taiwan for instance have had 850 deaths. S Korea 5,730. China 4,512. These numbers probably relate to cases. Cases in some ways are more important. The UK's demographics differ from many other countries but many western countries don't.
China currently it seems are leaping in when they pick up a limited number of infected people. They test everybody in the area. Seems they will continue to do this until 80% of their population have been vaccinated.
What is missing is info on economic damage. I suspect the west will not look too good in this respect and that could be due to acting to late and announcements when world supply of items that are needed can't cope.
So far I have only heard of one person in an ordinary job being told if they want to keep it they will get jabbed. Some businesses are now saying something must be done to prevent lockdowns. Gov currently - risking one. They want people working not isolating best way to achieve that is avoid or limit the chances of them catching it. The gov is not doing that. They have recently decided to limit spread but why not do that earlier.
