Very interesting graphs, thanks. Sideways despite or because of Mk 2?
Click to expand...

Mk2 has caused an increase in cases, but health indicators are still roughly going sideways. So perhaps Mk2 is more contagious than Mk1, but less virulent.

So "despite" in terms I what I meant (ie more cases but less pro-rata poor health outcomes). But one could also use because (no increase in poor health outcomes because Mk2 is less possibly virulent).


Mind you the booster% is still climbing and so that would help as well.

I note we are all referring to Omicron Mk2. Is there a reason why we are not moving on to Pi? Is it simply to avoid circular arguments or has Mk2 not ticked sufficient boxes to be awarded its own letter?

I find that I can’t take the daily COVID numbers too seriously any more, now that the self-reporting of RATs is in the mix. No-one can have any idea of how many are not reported.

I just look at hospitalisation/ICE and death figures now.

Yep. We were told that case numbers would no longer matter once the vulnerable were vaccinated, but a year later the media can’t seem to give it up (and that fuels the covid-lovers).

I wouldn’t bother looking at any “figures” anymore. It’s clear we’ve now reached our baseline and this is what we need to learn to live with - as we do every other virus.
 
WA is turning into a non-event of epic proportions...

No wonder they won't reveal how their modelling guesses were derived. 🤨:rolleyes:
