We’ve had 14 and 28 discharges respectively over the last two days.
The preceding 5 days were above 50. This is normal based on previous weeks. Not unusual.
Was kind of surprising how many people still don’t know what lagging indicators are. Anyway this looks shit
They should provide the breakdown for people in hospital and being treated for covid versus in hospital for some unrelated reason.
Especially as transmission in hospital is very common, and they should also track cases where transmission is suspected as having taken place in hospital, for many reasons.
Same for icu actually – how many were admitted to icu because of covid vs in icu for some other reason. And yes vaccinated vs unvaccinated within that breakdown.
Of course occupancy & capacity are not affected but this would give a clearer picture of the risk profile of a covid infection and also what is driving numbers in hospital (again the well founded suspicion would be that infections acquired in hospital are significant contributors to the number).
Would be crazy if restrictions in the community were introduced if community transmission is not driving hospital & icu admissions.
Probably just a symptom of people not wanting to go into hospital at Christmas and stretched it out longer than other times
We had alot of discharges christmas eve or day i cant remember
From the article (they’re paraphrasing McConkey):
“While the good news from South Africa is that patients did not get “too sick”, in the UK the rate of hospitalisation with Omicron had been 70 per cent lower, but that still meant 30 per cent could need to go to hospital.”
Correct me if I’m wrong, but this doesn’t make any sense does it? 30% of Omicron cases will not need to go to the hospital; what the UK found was that hospitalisations from Omicron were 70% less compared to Delta, not that 70% of Omicron cases would not need hospitalisation.
They said that cases would continue to rise until Jan 7th…there’s no surprises here
Not that bad consodering the sheer amount of cases
