But that isn't his actual name.

@JesusHChrist-q9d That might work!

The big difference is that deaths and hospitalisations are rising much more slowly of course.

@marvinstorm9153 The ratio isn't looking anything like that at the moment. Because of vaccination symptoms are much milder.

They can survive for several hours while airborne and travel quite long distances.

@DDocScotland This is the latest from the US Environmental Protection Agency. "Transmission of COVID-19 from inhalation of virus in the air can occur at distances greater than six feet. Particles from an infected person can move throughout an entire room or indoor space. The particles can also linger in the air after a person has left the room – they can remain airborne for hours in some cases."

@DDocScotland Yes, you are.

@DDocScotland I totally agree with your last sentence. The rest is, as you say, shite.

@DDocScotland You can't see viruses. No-one can. They are only visible through an electron microscope. The Covid 19 virus is disseminated and survives as described, as do most viruses which cause colds. The HIV pathogen can only survive in the atmosphere for a split second. It has to pass from bloodstream to bloodstream, usually through abrasions resulting from sexual intercourse. There are certainly reservations about the covid vaccines but while they do not prevent infection in many cases they do substantially reduce the severity of symptoms, thus enabling large numbers of people to become immune at relatively little cost to their health.

@DDocScotland I doubt it was Phil. YouTube's algorithm picks up combinations of words which it deems as spreading dangerous misinformation. Try writing in code. Substitute ABC for RNA and see what happens. And cut down the aggro! The algorithm has no sense of humour or irony and is as sensitive as a little old lady to anything which could be interpreted as a threat.

The hospitalisation and death rates remain reassuringly low compared with previous waves, however. Suffering may be mitigated by the fact that herd immunity is approaching quite rapidly.

Given that the long-term effects of the vaccine are not known, giving them to young people who don't need them seems an act of folly.

@syriuszb8611 It's a hard decision. There are some legitimate concerns the most recent being the unexpected build up of lipids in the ovaries and bone marrow. Currently around 1% of people below thirty are experiencing debilitating effects from covid three months after infection. And you're quite right, that 100 to one chance has to be balanced against the unknown odds of unknown consequences some time in the future. For children though, who never die from covid (in the statistical sense) and and do not experience long covid, and whose bodies are still developing vaccinations have got to be a non-starter in my opinion.

The trouble with that idea is that they get replaced by other people growing older.

@arndbaggen3011 He's utterly out of his depth in a situation where bluster and wriggling won't help. But the idea that old people are being killed off to save money is utterly ridiculous. (By the way although money has been saved while investigating how much the DWP has discovered massive underpayments to married couples which will cost ten times as much - several billion, in fact.)

They are good training and testing grounds for skills in dissembling and evasion - both essential to political survival.

Don't you think the huge increase in "cases" might have something to do with it?
