Where I live anyway, businesses shut down before the govt announced anything.

Does the article break it down into age groups? And as a layman I'm not even sure what it's telling me. Something about the heart.Haven’t doom posted in here for ages. Oh well. Here goes.
This is… a bit of a worry?
The graph on the right has various bad cardiac outcomes and whether having covid increases your risk of experiencing them, one year later. Dotted line means no increased risk. The further to the right of that the higher the risk. Green = “mild” covid. Orange = hospitalised. Purple = ICU.Does the article break it down into age groups?

Yes but not particularly surprising.Haven’t doom posted in here for ages. Oh well. Here goes.

Last I heard it was potentially more transmissible (based on Danish data I think) but no more harmful (although we may not have enough data to know yet).What happened to the mutation of Omicron that was being reported in some countries last week? Nothing to worry about or too early to tell?
So non-hospitalised (green) had a significantly raised risk, hospitalised (orange) had a much bigger increased risk and ICU admitted (purple) had a massively increased risk?

Basically, yes. The big caveat is they collected all their data from a US army veterans healthcare database, so the average age was mid 60s.So non-hospitalised (green) had a significantly raised risk, hospitalised (orange) had a much bigger increased risk and ICU admitted (purple) had a massively increased risk?

I get it now, thanks. Amazing how many people didn't/don't want the vaccine and would rather 'ride it out'.Basically, yes. The big caveat is they collected all their data from a US army veterans healthcare database, so the average age was mid 60s.
Interesting Im going to read through this. Was the covid cohort studied post vaccine?Basically, yes. The big caveat is they collected all their data from a US army veterans healthcare database, so the average age was mid 60s.
I think some were and some weren’t. They try to control for this by using a mix of contemporary and historic control cohorts.Interesting Im going to read through this. Was the covid cohort studied post vaccine?
I've just read in our local paper that 2 cases of Omicron 2 have been isolated in our region of Italy. The article quotes the experts as saying it's too early to tell if it's more contagious.What happened to the mutation of Omicron that was being reported in some countries last week?

Didn't they announce today that they're doing away with restrictions soon? They said something about not being able to cope socially and economically with more lockdowns.Just under 500k positive tests in NL today, population 17m. Thats quite an achievement
Presser next week. The new guy in charge of health is a highly acclaimed scientist and is pro opening up. While hospitals are seeing a rise in patients, icu numbers are falling.Didn't they announce today that they're doing away with restrictions soon?

Currently there's no testing required for people who are fully vaccinated:I'm going to Spain at the end of Feb, I'm having my booster this Saturday and I had Covid at the end of December. Aside from filling out the Spanish form, do i need to have a pre-departure covid test? It's all a bit confusing for me.
Exact same trend as in Ireland, we opened up a few weeks ago and hospital and ICU numbers are still going down.Presser next week. The new guy in charge of health is a highly acclaimed scientist and is pro opening up. While hospitals are seeing a rise in patients, icu numbers are falling.
No isolation for those who test positiveWoohoo, no mo isolation after 21st Feb according to BoJo today. It's being brought forward by a month. The optimism is infectious.
It's also throwing under the bus those who cant get the vaccine or are otherwise vulnerable. Those people will now be terrified of going anywhere.No isolation for those who test positive
This can't be a good idea
That was always going to be the case one day sadly. Seems like the UK is determined to be the first to officially "beat" covidIt's also throwing under the bus those who cant get the vaccine or are otherwise vulnerable. Those people will now be terrified of going anywhere.
Tories will definitely want to claim that. “Get covid done”That was always going to be the case one day sadly. Seems like the UK is determined to be the first to officially "beat" covid
We’re doing great right now. It’s been an unexpected bonus to stop counting/caring about case numbers. That was a subtle stress to deal with for fecking ages.Exact same trend as in Ireland, we opened up a few weeks ago and hospital and ICU numbers are still going down.
Depends on country, I think in ireland is when you get so many neg lateral flows in a row. 3? (1 each day not all same day)hey guys, could anybody give me some insight when you're not infectious anymore after having contracted corona? Like how many days on average after not having symptoms (and testing negative, obviously) are necessary to wait it out? Thing is, I found contradicting information while googling (even on official sites) and would like to get some input, since people like @Pogue Mahone are very well informed. My wife and my daughter tested positive on monday and already feel better (and tested negative this evening) and I am very eager to stop separating myself from them.
practising being cnutsIt does feel premature to just give the signal not to bother isolating right? I mean they could have at least enforced it'll still be guidance just not a legal requirement.
We were at the aquarium at the weekend and most, including a couple with coughs, were maskless. We were in a minority wearing one but it was very busy and crowded.
Well, maybe I worded my question not precisely enough, but I meant biological, not legal aspects. As in: after someone contracted corona and is tested negative and doesn't have symptoms anymore, what is the most reasonable and logical timeframe in which I can see said person without contracting the virus myself?Depends on country, I think in ireland is when you get so many neg lateral flows in a row. 3?

He had replied to a similar question from me with a twitter thread showing graphs of viral load. Based on my memory of that, the viral level has drops after 5, 7, and 10 days, but I think a negative test should be more important than a graph based on averages from other people, and I don't think those graphs separated based on negative/positive tests.hey guys, could anybody give me some insight when you're not infectious anymore after having contracted corona?

If they’re testing negative and feeling better then your chance of catching anything off them is fairly trivial.hey guys, could anybody give me some insight when you're not infectious anymore after having contracted corona?

thanks anyways!Ah sorry, understand now but no idea

Thanks! Well, I am selfemployed, which is why getting corona and risking shutting down the business for a week would be absolutely catastrophic, so I decided to play it safe. I am triple vaccinated, 32 years old and have no known underlying health issues at this moment. I guess I will wait till they test negative tomorrow and then proceed with business as usual.If they’re testing negative and feeling better then your chance of catching anything off them is fairly trivial.
Ultimately the decision depends on your own perception of risk and consequences of getting infected. If you’re extremely clinically vulnerable then you might want to be more careful. If you’re young/healthy and vaccinated/boosted then there’s a case to be made for not separating from them in the first place.
No cold, no flu and no sniffles for 2 years. Such a contrast from the last quarter of 2019 when I was off several times sick. Beginning of 2020 too until office closed. No office, no people, no contact. Its that simple to beat any 'catchy' illnessYou’d think maybe one lesson that could have been learned from this whole thing is to stay off when you’re ill? Self isolation when you have anything should be a given. Capitalism says NO.
Cracking, thanks Jo.Currently there's no testing required for people who are fully vaccinated:

Like all these things, there's no knowing what they'll say at the end of February. Spain has a list of "high risk" countries. The UK isn't currently on it.
