1/ Covid, UK, BA2 – Cheshire Primary school Outbreak following Residential Trip, Headteacher off sick as well—brags about 100% attendance 'fantastic achievement' Says Head
2/
A Headteacher in Cheshire writes to parents telling them that:

'Following the Year 3 residential, there has been an outbreak of COVID cases in that class and we have had to put measures in place just for Yr 3.'

And:

'We are hopeful that the number of positive cases in that class will now settle and things will get back to normal in Yr 3 by the end of next week.'

Head also came down with it, it seems:

'Unfortunately, I have not been in school this week as I have been unwell.

However:

'I am now feeling a lot better and will back in school on Monday.'

The attendance awards showed that 26% of year 3 were absent during the week—but the school nonetheless has retained high attendance in other year groups: something which this head seems to think is fantastic: making sure that all the children...

Chris Whitty once again displaying that he doesn't understand this virus and never will—let's unpick this mess: Image
Whitty is a nasty piece of work: let's get that straight first and foremost—before people defend him, he was wrong about pandemics before we had a pandemic and he continues to be wrong now:

Problem 1: assumption that is seasonal: completely wrong. Image
Problem 2: assuming that there is 'no end point'—which is his way of saying of 'learn to live with it and shut up'

But, there can at any point, be an end point to the pandemic is we chose to take the right actions.

Danielle Dave, age just 40 from Queen's Park in North West London recently died after being infected with Covid, during her illness she started to cough up blood and had a fatal heart attack on week 2 of it.

Well what are we supposed to do then? spend the rest of our lives getting infected repeatedly, being subject to chronic illness, heart attacks, strokes, ever shortening life spans, mass disruption to everything, and eternally high levels of grief and loss? for what exactly?
All because big business doesn't want to take the virus seriously—which involves stopping the machine for a few weeks every now and then—something which is actually better for the economy and health over all?
Yeah, almost everything has a risk to it: but why should there always be a high risk of catching an easily preventable serious disease just from doing 'normal' things? You could use her arguments to argue against speeding limits, carbon limits, safe sex, airplane safety

Israel, BA2, Covid: ICU admissions now starting to tick up after months of steady decline since the brutal Omicron wave which had the highest ever deaths, admissions and ICU admissions of ANY WAVE EVER. Image
Hospital admissions also starting to uptick again after months of decline: Image
Cases also upticking in line with the rise in hospitalisations: though very low levels of cases so the rise is in ICU and admissions is somewhat unexpected at this point.

Test positivity is hovering around 14% currently—which implies that they are missing A LOT of cases though.. Image

It seems that the whole country is starting to go into a form of mini lockdown: schools closing, GPs closing, hospitals closing, no doubt many other things too: and we've only just started this wave–bear that in mind. THIS IS JUST THE START.
