Very strangely curious... These numbers do not add up for the UK... How can we have, the expensive "Dido Test and Trace" figures claiming a rapid fall in numbers to a 'mere' 68,000 new infections per day for the last few days (Cases)... Yet, we have our Office of National Statistics reporting for last week that we remain at about 1-in-19 people presently infected with covid, unchanged since the New Year partying/celebrations/superspreading?... How so??... Stay safe folks! Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

A choice of threads for this one but best fit here. :-)Actually this would have to be the stupidest protest of all time seeing that the U.S. now requires noncitizens entering the country to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 anyway so these protests are in fact both baseless and pointless, but there will be repercussions. Canadian Truckers in Ottawa 'Siege' Could Face Fines, Possibly Prison Time. Ontario Premier Doug Ford declared a state of emergency, calling the ongoing protest by the Canadian Freedom Convoy a siege and threatening heavy action against those who refuse to leave.Then again U.S. trouble makers are highly involved with it if not in it. U.S. Donations Make Up Half of Canadian Trucker Funds. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says that nearly half of the donations flooding into the fundraiser set up for Canadian truckers protesting COVID-19 measures are coming from the United States.And then there will be the financial costs involved which will push inflation even higher than it is now. When will the moronic idiots of this world grow some brains to actually think with? [edit] Breaking news. Canada court orders end to trucker bridge blockade. A Canadian judge has granted a court order to end a truckers' blockade of a vital trade link with the US. |

Local reporting paints a slightly different picture: All three cases were within the same family and were linked to recent travel to West Africa, said Dr Susan Hopkins, chief medical adviser at UKHSA.From Lassa fever: Patient dies at Bedfordshire hospital. Note I had to drill down to county-level reporting to find that - it's not news at a national level, even for England. |

If you live close by a cemetery you may want to take notice of this. COVID-19 is overcrowding cemeteries and causing heavy metal pollution. ...In the putrefaction stage of corpse decomposition, bodies release several liters of water as well as a vast range of heavy metals in a brownish-gray liquid called cemetery leachate. |

Sadly, we have far too much experience of that... Haworth Sanitation wrote: ... And then the next to die were duly buried in that ever more overflowing graveyard. Sometimes 10 bodies deep... And then there is the deadly water supply fiasco of Flint USA ongoing still today! Stay safe folks!

such as calciumbone chromium, ironhemoglobin manganese, and leadpaint It takes up to three years for a buried body to generate cemetery leachate before it starts trickling into the soil.... Depends on embalmed or not, the burial container and/or the burial vault. Of course cremation releases it into the air right away. Then there is aquamation down the city sewer. |

Covid-19 vaccine booster effectiveness wanes after four months but still offers protection, study finds. Booster doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna coronavirus vaccines are safe, and they offer high levels of protection against severe Covid-19 even though that protection can wane over time, according to two studies published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday.And then there's, 'Full blown' pandemic could be ending soon, Fauci says; US daily infection totals falling sharply. But I've heard that before and then another variant arrives on the scene. |

BBC - Why is Canada's Covid death rate so much lower than US? Images of Canada's paralysed capital and of pandemic-rules protests have thrust the country's Covid response under the spotlight. Vaccination rates and healthcare differences |

Very strangely curious... And the strange divergence of the "Dido Test and Trace" figures continues... The "Dido numbers" claim that new infections are crashing down to a non-pandemic. My impression from the message from Boris Johnson is that we should all go out to play and pay. And yet, a careful sample of reality is: Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infection Survey headline results, UK: 16 February 2022 wrote: ... estimates for the week ending 12 February 2022 for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and for the week ending 13 February 2022 for Scotland... Note from that, for across the age groups, we have a high of about 1-in-13 for young school children to still a high figure of 1-in-45 for the old for those infected. My own personal suspicion is that a game of politics and numbers is being played out where the real target is merely to avoid sinking the Health Service with too many dead. Of those that do get infected, I've seen figures that list 1% to 2% of those people will subsequently suffer "Long Covid" ongoing ailments and disability... How so??... Have people 'given up' bothering to get tested? Stay safe folks! Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

So... For one effective and easy reduction of infection rates: Politics aside... Is this an example of why at least some people are against masks for the sake of pride and practical reasons?: Whilst talking to a colleague, it was soon apparent that he wasn't following everything I said. Still so, even when I spoke a little louder. We were inside an area with a lot of background noise but nothing overly loud. Moving outside and removing masks, he explained that he was suffering tinnitus and was now relying on lip reading to follow a conversation. Interestingly, he was also a little embarrassed to be admitting that... Are (at least) some of the anti-maskers actually covering up for poor hearing?! Stay safe folks!

Are (at least) some of the anti-maskers actually covering up for poor hearing?!Don't you mean failing to cover up? Try offering to wear a clear, see-through, mask that allows lip-reading. Tinnitus isn't a problem that should stop the sufferer from wearing a mask - they need the other person in the conversation to take remedial action. |

The BBC is reporting this as a simple fact: A new Covid-19 testing device has been launched at the main airport on the Tanzanian island of Zanzibar, a popular tourist destination.Anyone got any idea what technology lies behind this? If true, it would be enormously helpful - but I can't help feeling that somebody's being taken for a scam. It's being made to sound much more specific than the simple temperature (fever) detectors that were used in the early days of the pandemic. |

Meanwhile, here down under, nationally we're now at >96% of the eligible population (5yrs+) are now single COVID vaxxed and >94% of those are double dosed while with the changes to the waiting time after infection for those who have had it having been lowered from 6mths down to 4mths (that could still be lowered down to 3mths yet) has seen those in the 16yrs+ bracket rising to >50% having booster shots. Those in hospital being infected is now down to 2,528 nation wide (still a lot are in for other reasons other than COVID though) while those in ICU are down to 208 of which 94 require ventilation. Sadly most of the later are the very elderly and also make up the greater majority deaths now as that total passes 4,834. Young SloMo, who's government has the incompetent control of assisted/elderly/retirement centres/homes/villages, and his side kick treasurer, Joshie "I have all these boxes of cheap 'Black in Black' coffee mugs that we need to make a big profit on", must be rubbing their hands together just thinking about the savings on care costs and pensions. :-( It looks like we'll be the 29th country to enter the 3M+ case clubhouse tomorrow so we'll miss the U.S.'s Grand Opening of their brand new 80M+ case clubhouse. :-/ |
