Billy Jean King Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I’m not defending Bauld but hospitalisations clearly will go up in the coming weeks from the c.300 levels they’d went down to. More cases still equal more hospitalisation, even at the drastically reduced rate in comparison to the start of the year. What we also know however is a) that it’s very manageable for the health service and b) we could more than half the numbers in hospital if everyone eligible for vaccination took it. Yip spot on. They also take longer to rise with each wave due to better treatments and higher vaccination levels to break through but anyone who says that a claim hospital numbers will rise is "wrong" is most definitely wrong themselves. Basic common sense would tell you 3500 cases a day will lead to more people needing hospital treatment than 1000 cases a day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Struggling to find an exact figure, but 12-15s look to be about 7 or 8% of the population, so a significant amount of transmission reduction if most of them get vaccinated. I think the argument should be whether we should be giving the doses to countries who need them far more rather than whether it would be worthwhile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Read an article there on BBC news about young folk with "long covid", got to laugh how seriously it's being taken. When I had post viral fatigue about a decade ago I was basically shunned by the doctor and offered CBT treatment as I imagine they thought it was all in my head. Scunnering to see how they're bending backwards over it now whereas 12 years ago I was made out to be a hypochondriac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of murdering animals rather than making exceptions to allow people to look after them properly is absolutely horrific. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the argument should be whether we should be giving the doses to countries who need them far more rather than whether it would be worthwhile. But they don't need to be vaccinated, so is any small gain in transmission reduction to try and protect more old people, who are near universally vaccinated themselves, the correct decision morally? Particularly given the reduction in transmission dynamic is reduced by Delta. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of hospital numbers we were at 61 in the middle of May. Case numbers were at a seven day average of about 150 per day at the beginning of May, certainly less than 200 per day. Of course rates of testing very different at that time. Edited August 23, 2021 by Distant Doonhamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is your doctor treating long covid? The BBC can write as many articles as they want about long covid, your GP is probably still offering folk CBT and telling them to f**k off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
