Continue their careers in Virology and Epidemiology thus helping prevent future pandemics, hopefully…

Not sure how sharing academical studies or discussing academical research makes anyone an expert. For example, if people are saying "I think Omicron is mild" then you'd be correct. If they're saying "I read a research paper highlighting lower impact on lung replication" then that doesn't make the reader an expert, it's referring to the expert who wrote the paper.
Go back to the match thread and be experts on how to run a professional football club. Or the politics thread and be experts on how to run a country. Or something else.

Here's me not being an expert but linking to Science magazine/journals who probably know more than me.
Anyway, early indications of Omicron being mild but as we've all discussed before, need more time on the data: https://www.science.org/content/art...ay-be-milder-most-scientists-reserve-judgment

I'm not taking sides. Not criticising anyone on here sorry if it came across that way. Just that there is so much info out there on the internet on every aspect of COVID from transmission to economics it's hard to sift out the bias in some of them. So easy to see how even the crackpot theories can find an echo chamber on the www.

I took it as a tongue in cheek comment on everyone having an opinion and wanting to have a say.
There is definitely an overload of info, and not all of it can be correct.
From the crackpot conspiracy theories to the its to early to tell, but listen to me because I'm right and all points in between, there comes a point where people start to tune out.
And that is close, if it's not already started.

It is the opposite of you and same as djp82 for me…. Loads of people I know have had it in last 2 or 3 weeks…. Ages 16 to 60s, office workers, manual workers, students, carers, public transport users, non PT users, no pattern at all. I would say that the last 2 or 3 weeks alone the number of people that I know testing positive matches the number I knew doing so for the entire period since testing was available.

With a week or two’s more data in the bank we may well do what you suggest. Proper vaccine passports would probably also help minimal/no restrictions but there seems to be a real lack of political will for those.

Looks like it actually shows some correlation…. The question now is whether the admissions are for COVID related illness or merely incidental. In many ways overall hospital admissions (ignoring COVID) versus a pre COVID 5 year average might be a good metric to use here to ascertain where we are.London data is showing the link between cases and hospitalisation isn't being re-established

Then you risk medical/care staff giving the virus to more vulnerable people in their place of work.

Back to lots of tossing I’d imagine…. Except Gutterboy…. He’ll be at Bramall Lane!
If it's conclusiVely mild, does it matter?
Symptomatic cases in london still increasing according to the symptom study. Hopefully the level off in the next few days.

Good point…. Though it will take a fair amount more data to prove that and we may have another less mild strain by then (that we’ve failed to identify early due to the cut in testing).

65% incidental admissions was the last figure (from about a week ago)

I don’t get how that would work? Would probably need the employer to confirm that is the case and is any employer going to do that to a member of staff? Sounds like a headline politic that one.
