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.
Let's remember that it's NOT NORMAL to have hospitals closed due to surges, it's not normal to have GPs closed due to surges, it's not normal to have massive levels of staff and pupil absence due to sickness and have to close the school:this is what they are trying to normalise?
There are estimated to be 3.4 million people infected symptomatically right now in the UK—if you add on a-symptomatic then it's around 4 million: this cannot be sustained.
It's just insanity! This is why the country is crumbling! you cannot treat Covid as if it's like any other virus!
Daily new cases! add on for a-symptomatic and it's close to 370,000! It's absolutely out of control! How is R now about 1?
The admissions are nearing January 'peaks' again—13,379 people admitted over the last 7 days: that's nearly 2,000 people A DAY!
And the official numbers can easily be doubled due to the reinfection scam keeping numbers much lower than they really are:
Daily admissions nearly back to Dec peaks already—just a few weeks after Freedom Day disaster: make no mistake: given the case numbers that can only climb ever higher until finally they close their doors totally: and buddy you'll be left to due—make no mistake.
Patients in hospital again: same deal 16,272, not far from Jan peaks at all—likely due to the reinfection scam—they are way past those peaks:
People might say well ventilation are low—ICU is not just people being on vents: that's just measure that's used here, so it's fucking useless:
You don't have nearly 2,000 people admitted a day for NOTHING—you don't have to lockdown hospital 'because vents remain low' let's get that fucking straight.
The 28 day death line also going up now: with a 17.1% increase — COVID DEATHS ARE OF COURSE MUCH HIGHER THAN THIS:
But they can only go up from here—with 4 million ACTIVE CASES—no amount of Pfizer boosters are going to fix this one—forget about it:
21% increase in admissions in just 7 days: so based on that, assuming the rate holds stable, it will exceed the Jan peak shortly: this is a really rapid climb:
Everything we are looking at here is the result of 2—3 weeks ago, so only more and more is to come:
The whole thing is just madness—needs to called off as soon as possible—every day without action is just making it MUCH WORSE—looking at these trend lines and the mass closures of hospitals and schools we are in serious SHIT.
What we see is the result of telling people the pandemic is over—make no mistake—the masks that aren't worn, the restaurants, the bars, etc—schools, ending isolation: all of it is a recipe for the disaster that is now unfolding—everyday more and more victims.
The schools should be closed—a circuit breaker—anything to stop this: everything is closing anyway—but we need time to get on top of this: this is not going to end well, in fact, it's impossible to even see an end at all.
R is indeed above 1—meaning we are in the no limits rapid exponential phase: and when I say no limits: I FUCKING MEAN IT:
Since Freedom Day there's been a 66% increase in weekly admissions...that's in less than a month—and R was less than 1 before Freedom Day—meaning the rate of growth can only increase.
Based on that: if we keep going at the same pace, then around April 3rd we will be approaching 22,300 weekly admissions—close to the highest ever peaks of Dec 2020/Jan 2021:
But as we crossed over into R being above one shortly after Freedom Day, the 4 million or so estimated active cases we currently have it seems like we could almost certainly top the previous peaks and then some.
Nobody seems to really recognise this right now: but, looking at this we're about to do an Isreal: going from what looks like 'manageable' to the worst surge ever.
The last peak here being the BA1 Omicron and BA2:

1/ CDC China Stark Warning On Deltacron: 'The “Wolf” Is Indeed Coming' Recombination variant is a 'Grey Rhino' event (highly predictable, slowly emerging, obvious threat that is ignored or minimized by decision-makers) Past variants may not have been 'worst-case until now...
2/
China's CDC with their wealth of knowledge on Coronaviruses has decided to comment and release what appears to be a stark warning about Deltacron.
'No recombination events involving large genomic fragments (like “Deltacron”) have been found in SARS-CoV-2 before.'
3/ The deeply respected and knowledgeable CHINESE scientists write about the Deltacron variant, that as professor Leon Kostrikis who first identified the variant warned, it has the spike of Omicron (infectivity) mixed with Delta (implying higher severity of disease)
Chris Whitty once again displaying that he doesn't understand this virus and never will—let's unpick this mess:
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.
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.
1/ OMICRON UK, COVID: 40-year-old triple vaxxed mother dies of Covid after coughing up blood and having a heart attack, leaving behind 4 children—one of which has severe special needs —HEARTBREAKING
2/
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.
3/
Heart attacks are a well-established part of Covid infection, sometimes happening months/year (s) after even a mild case: in Omicron they seem to be happening frequently during the acute phase as well.
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.
Hospital admissions also starting to uptick again after months of decline:
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..
Covid: New Study massive 28% increase in diabetes if you have Covid—including 'mild'—can lead to life threatening Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA):
The researchers compared large numbers of those who had Covid, and those who had other respiratory infections: and found a 28% increase in Covid patients including the mild developing type 2 diabetes.
The theoretically working mechanism for the development of diabetes after Covid is explained is illustrated here:
