    There have been similar situations in the UK in the winter pre virus. On a positive note I got an appointment with a specialist the other day only 4 weeks after referall for a non urgent condition.

    HK success is mainly due to Draconian quarantine/restrictions on entry to Hong Kong, stopping the virus getting there in the first place. The quaranting of contacts for 21 days is unessacary and particularly the hospitalisation for asymptomatic. Sensible quaratine lengths, testing and home isolation would serve just as well and be mpfqr more humane.

    Anyway, for the vaxxed Omicron is little more than a cold.

    I heard a 'expert' (sorry, it was on the radio and I didn't get the name /title but it was a reputable BBC radio news programme) who estimated the true daily figure in the UK to be near a million. Obviously the official figures only represent those officially tested.

    His estimate comes from an ongoing office for national statistics study that randomly and regularly tests a large number of the population.

    Almost every winter. As I said before, covid admissions are not the cause of the problem just another straw on the camel's back. The large number of absences is a bale of straw though.

    Let's see if your appointment is cancelled.

    Sorry, just being realistic. They get cancelled at the best of times and this isn't the best of times.

    I might have this wrong but UK figures are no longer reporting lateral flow failures. I think people just need to self isolate. Anyone verify this?

    Will be interesting to see the results of this study. The Philippines uses a wide range of vaccines, I think 9 are approved, so the ones in use can be compared in the same setting with generally the same population characteristics.

    Results are expected in June.
