Given that none of them support the argument he’s making I don’t think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sibon Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 For those who are interested in numbers. Here is a pretty thorough look at the latest data. More than anything, I think it shows how difficult it is to interpret the data we are collecting. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/23/scientists-cautious-over-whether-fall-in-uk-covid-cases-is-a-trend?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other Let’s hope that the apparent fall in infection rate turns out to be sustained.

Hope so . However number of tests have also dropped off a fair bit in the last couple of weeks as well. People going on holiday? Medical staff being pinged by the "world beating" app? Let's see if hospitalisations come down in the next week or so. Edited July 23, 2021 by Longcol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between the ONS survey and the testing figures is interesting. The ONS data is gained by asking people to take tests at random. I did one for them, a few months ago. The testing figures are from those who turn up at a testing centre, presumably because they have symptoms. Maybe some people with symptoms are avoiding being tested. Or maybe they are just doing a LF test at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me some thinking about but it stems from the fact that people can be PCR positive for quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter what the dates on the articles are, virology/biology doesn't change monthly. Children/teenagers are the most likely category to be asymptomatic, if they could pass the virus on whilst in that state there wouldn't be a school in the country left open (prior to the summer holidays) and teachers/staff would have gone down like flies, its a myth. Its time to take a break from this thread as certain people have been that taken in by the medias project fear you could smack them in the face with irrefutable facts and they'd still deny as it makes them look foolish (when we look back on the era in a decade that will happen anyway). For anyone wavering, this sums it up, you have virtually nothing to fear from Covid unless you are: Over 80 years of age Seriously ill A combination of the above Clinically obese For us not in these categories you'll feel crap for a few days and be right as rain in no time. Au Revoir. Oh sorry as Columbo used to say, just one more thing, this is a list of funeral numbers in various areas up to and including 2020, they must have been chucking all the excess dead in the sea: https://uk-funerals.vercel.app/ Wonder what The Guardian (🙄) says 😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
