I don't understand the big event logic. It can only pass from the person who came into the event with it to the people they are close to (closer than a meter for more than 15 minutes). It's not like it fans out like Chinese whispers through the entire crowd. I.e. infectious people would infect about the same number of people at a small event as at a large one.

Not sure that's valid anymore with Omicron given the numbers we're seeing, probably a smaller window now required
 
The life altering affects some people are getting from this are unparalleled.

Christ knows what else the Chinese have cooked up in Wuhan!

It is simply risk probability. More people means more infected people, so more transmission events.
 
Gutter Boy said:
Not if the same number of people were just spread out into small groups. 10 concerts of 200 people would see the same number of transmissions as 1 of 2000 people, no?

Transmission is not as uniform as that. There are different factors that contribute to transmission probability. For example smaller groups can spread out more etc.

Sometimes I have wondered if Russia could have been responsible because they’re benefiting from everything more than anyone, but think the extent the Chinese went to cover this all up rules that out and points unequivocally at the Wuhan lab.

per your first graph, case load has only risen rapidly the last 10 days or so in the UK, so you wouldn't see mechanical intervention until at least another 1 week at the earliest. Omicron only became the main Covid variant in UK a week ago.

Again though, i wouldn't expect a massive uptick based on what we see in SA. However, you need to 'control' the spread to avoid impact on critical infrastructure.

How would you control the spread?

Or just stop testing people with no or mild symptoms (aside from those working in immuno-compromised care units)

By introducing measures such as WFH, limited social gatherings/pubs/bars, masks in indoor settings etc. Not saying it's ideal but some measures would have to exist.

What about in places where omicron has already peaked and is declining now? Camden and islington are 2 areas where daily cases have been falling the last few days for example.
