You Are Not Stuck In Covid, You Are Covid Part 6 of infinite

@TheUlteriorMotive

Got a call from the school to collect our ten year old. Call said he was sick with a headache. He has a sub teacher this week.

We thought he was spoofing to get out of school.

Collected him. He said he coughed and said he had a tickle in his throat and next thing he’s told his mother is there to collect him. Never mentioned a headache or feeling unwell.

Game’s gone

@TheUlteriorMotive’s young lad probably nicked off home himself and then robbed TUM’s phone and posted the above. ‘Of course the school rang… sure mam collected me and you already posted about it on tfk…’

We’re below NPHETs optimistic model again. The pessimistic model is also just a little bit off again.

Probably time to take the modelling off them.

Some nice massaging of figures by Conor there. It’s why he isn’t taken very seriously as a commentator by anybody paying attention.

He neglects to mention that the last three weeks’ worth of cases essentially don’t count when working out a death rate - because of lag.

So his denominator is wrong, it’s too high.

Nor does he mention that deaths are continually backdated and that he’s working off incomplete figures.

So his numerator is wrong, it’s too low.

Nor does he mention that 730 deaths would be consistent with the average over the course of the pandemic.

730 deaths is a really poor figure if one is trying to construct a narrative that we are over the worst of the pandemic and it’s a really poor figure if one has a shred of basic human empathy.

730 dead people is 730 grieving families.

Conor isn’t an honest broker and that’s been obvious for a long time. He’s addicted to the likes and retweets he garners from telling his dumbass audience what they want to hear, and he should be left to converse with Ivor Cummins and David Quinn.

Bad news for a few lads here

[TheUlteriorMotive]

It’ll be a shock to them to have to go back to normal life.

I’d say a lot of them are gone an awful size.

DRAMA! Alert

This news was casual conversation at the test centre at 1:00am today - why the BREAKING NEWS drama from RTE?

Omicrons arrival should be celebrated if initial reports are valid

time for these work from home bluffers to get a dose of reality

Finland’s prime minister is a ride and appears to be a bit of a legend.

More sexual objectification of women by the forum’s biggest misogynist.

When did he get Covid?

Bayern’s last game of 2021 is on the 17th Dec.

Seems like more misinformation from the Vaccine Fascists.

Look, if the Omicron variant wants to become dominant in Ireland then it will.

(By the way, this thread hasn’t been updated in 3 hours. Is this a record?)

Speaking at the online event, Edmunds dismissed suggestions that the Omicron variant might be “good news” if it hospitalised people at only half the rate as the Delta variant. The hope comes largely from hospital admissions in South Africa, where the population is far younger than in the UK and so less likely to experience severe Covid illness in the first place. While the average age in the UK is just over 40, it is less than 28 in South Africa.

Edmunds said there was “not a shred of evidence” that Omicron was half as pathogenic as the Delta variant, but added that even if this were the case, it might not make the difference people hoped for. “This is a very severe setback. There is no question about that.”

“If you are worried about the time [at] which the NHS might start to get very stressed, then halving the hospitalisation rate means that buys you two to three days. I think it’s really silly to suggest this is good news; it couldn’t be further from that,” he added. “This is as bad news as you can possibly get, quite frankly.”

Omicron could be spreading faster in England than in South Africa, Sage...

Fairly remarkable how the red weather warnings didn’t impact the test numbers….
