Just waiting for the next variantHospitalisations got nowhere near last winters wave.
Deaths have stayed Low for a year now.
When are we going to change the status of disease from pandemic, to endemic?
Grow up.Just waiting for the next variant
You are acting like just a bit of a cretinous tosser...Just waiting for the next variant
Oh give it a rest you little gimp.You are acting like just a bit of a cretinous tosser...
You need to get a hobby.Just waiting for the next variant
Il be honest , the first couple days I did think to myself , I wonder how I'd be feeling if I was 80 , because I felt like death and I'm 37 ... the headache will not be forgotten either
Glad you're coming through it mind. Also worth asking how you'd be feeling if you'd had no vaccine, too...Il be honest , the first couple days I did think to myself , I wonder how I'd be feeling if I was 80 , because I felt like death and I'm 37 ... the headache will not be forgotten either
Hope the IKEA Boycott means I can get round there quicker and double meatballs next time I need to go.
To be fair since it left coventry its not a place I think to use anyway
Did laugh that the anti-vaxxers response to Ikea not wanting unvaccinated people in its stores is to start a boycottHope the IKEA Boycott means I can get round there quicker and double meatballs next time I need to go.
I seem to recall a lot of push back on Ikea a couple of years back when they tried to cut sick pay. Suspect the reality is that this is a way of them starting to push that change through but blame it on covid and the unvaccinated.The thing is with that, from how it reads it looks as if they only aren't paying if it's from CONTACT isolation rather than actually having it.
I can see their point as people will just be off work but not actually ill.
However it is just going to mean people don't report they have been in contact and go in anyway.
blame it on covid and the unvaccinated.

The politicians definition of endemic rather than the actual scientific one of course.
Doesn't the situation in other countries come into play before its declared endemic? Don't think it gets downgraded just based on what is or isn't happening in the UK.Isn't it only an endemic when people decide it's an endemic?
Endemic is a formal term used when talking about a certain diseaseIsn't it only an endemic when people decide it's an endemic?

For it to be an endemic it needs to exist at a predictable level
This is my point, it depends who makes the predictions.
It's not a prediction, endemic is a pre defined term based on certain conditions. Someone has just posted the definition.
Dr Peter English, former Public Health England consultant in communicable disease control, adds that several accepted definitions "include a requirement for the disease rate being predictable".
"If that is a key part of the definition, we are very definitely not in endemic phase," he says.
"We know that more variants are arising and will continue to arise. We know the ones that become significant will either be more infectious or better able to evade immunity from previous infection or vaccination.
"There is also no guarantee they won't be more virulent, which means we cannot predict when the next variant or next wave of infection will hit us - or how severely it will affect us."
By "predictable" they mean stays at a fairly constant baseline level.
i.e. Not this.
