The media have been having a field day with pushing out statements not supported by the official data.

See this thread for more information.

Remember the majority of patients in critical care beds in England (and other parts of the UK) do not have Covid.

I don't remember opinion pieces on the impact of people overweight in the past on the NHS.

There probably are some but I've not seen.

➡️➡️ Hearing reports sports venues in Wales cancelling sports bookings having received updated covid guidelines from officials.

Training first week of January cancelled.

🚨🚨 Wales is alleged to be going into a firebeak.

Here we go again.... Children sports off.
If you look at cases in England and Scotland they are rising fast and Wales is behind.

If anything is needed to combat this spread if it does become a problem cancelling outdoor sport is not one.

🚨🚨 Most #COVID19 patients admitted to critical care are obese

➡️ 50.1% had a BMI which the NHS defines as obese

The % of patients in the severely obese category is over 4 times what you would expect if ICU patients represented the general population.

statsjamie.co.uk/covidbmi/
Obesity is generally caused by eating too much and moving too little, according to the NHS.

If we follow the logic of mandatory vaccination, should we also mandate how much a person eats or how much they move? I think we set ourselves down a dangerous path on either. Image
The rollout of Covid-19 vaccines has created a divided society with a group who want harsh sanctions imposed on people who choose not to have a vaccine.

I have had 2 vaccines and believe in a society where each individual has the freedom to choose what they put in their body.

Nadine is using data on 154 patients over 5 months.

It is true that 91% of patients requiring Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Severe Respiratory Failure were unvaccinated - this was 141 people.

Over the same period, 100,000 patients were admitted to hospital with Covid
I would hardly say quoting this most extreme care is representative of the likely outcome for patients.

She is basing her claims on 0.14% of the population admitted to hospital with Covid and ignoring the other 99.86%.
Over the same period there were 4.2 million Covid cases identified through testing (overall there would have been more but not tested).

So the basis of her claims is on 0.0033% of the cases identified.

🚨🚨 #Covid cases are up 12% week on week across the UK. Testing is also up 12% week on week.

As with last year, there is increased testing around the festive period.

Across the countries case up 38% in Scotland, 12% in England, down 2% in Wales and down 8% in N.Ireland.
Testing in the UK is heading towards record levels with on average 1.2 million per day being tested over the past week.

More testing as people have festive parties and gatherings may pick up more cases without symptoms.
Within England, cases are only rising among people aged 20 to 49.

For those most vulnerable cases are flat or down. We have even seen a fall week on week among children aged 10 to 14.
