  1. 800K cases of colds a day. All depends how close Omicron is to a cold. By recent studies it's became a decent amount closer at least. Point comes where cases don't matter at all. It's close to that now I suspect. All the data we get is a little bit behind. Things take time to even out. Even more so over the Christmas period. Deducing trends accurately is more difficult than usual.

  2. These people are indoors inside a building which isn't their home with no masks on. Tut. Tut.

  3. @LuLYaWott They matter but exactly how much right now is hard to call in the UK especially so. Also look at how many people are currently in ICU in the UK. Then compare that to the numbers that are in ICU right now In Germany, Spain, France and Italy for example. They have more and in some cases a lot more in ICU. Yes sure Germany's population is larger than the UK but the others aren't. And even with the size different factored in Germany still has per head more people than the UK in ICU. Now the question is why do those Countries have higher numbers. Is it because they still have far more Delta than Omicron than the likes of the UK. Or are there other reasons. And when I last looked Hospital numbers overall UK compares favorably to those Countries also.
