Based on the small data set the method used to extrapolate the numbers could just as easily be over inflating the reality, as is recorded world wide since the first covid outbreak happened. Be positive, practice healthy living. Healthy living may limit your chances of getting Covid but it is no guarantee. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Waters Posted October 29, 2022 Author #2627 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (IP: Staff) · Two new strains of Covid have been designated, the UK Health and Security Agency (UKHSA) has said. The strains, labelled BQ.1 and XBB, are Omicron variants, have not been designated as variants of concern, meaning they are not thought to be at particular risk of accelerating the spread of the illness. However, studies being conducted at the University of Oxford on behalf of the UKHSA showed "significant reductions" in "neutralisation against several of the newly emergent variants". This could lead to waning immunity among the population, which could in turn "fuel future waves of SARS-CoV-2 infection," the agency said in a statement to ITV News, https://www.itv.com/news/2022-10-28/two-new-covid-strains-designated-by-uk-health-agency 1 1 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldorado Posted October 30, 2022 #2628 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Rising non-Covid excess deaths reveal the disastrous legacy of the pandemic When Britain first locked down on March 23 2020, the average daily death rate from Covid was around 213, triggering understandable alarm and the ushering in of strict restrictions. Now, a similar number of unexpected deaths are occurring each day, the majority of which are not primarily caused by coronavirus. Yet there is largely silence from the Government and health service. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/medical/rising-non-covid-excess-deaths-reveal-the-disastrous-legacy-of-the-pandemic/ar-AA13w3Ub? 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
