I'm feeling much better now, though did have some chest pain and breathing restriction on Sunday so went and got it checked out, with everything coming back fine. Still have some pain and sinusitis, but think I'm doing alright now. I'll still continue to take things easier until everything seems long past.

In other news though, hidden somewhere in this subforum there is a link to a handy website which lists common covid-denial tropes and countering facts.

I quoted it elsewhere (in its claim that the "dying with" vs "dying of" stats for the UK's first wave had a 93% correlation). Now someone's asked for the link and I can't find it. Not on this 'puter anyway. Can anyone help?

Andrew George, who speaks for the Liberal Democrats in Cornwall on health, said he was concerned about the cases.

He said he did not believe the leaders were “vectors” for Covid. “But other people associated with G7 – security staff, police, media have been intermixing.”

Seconded - I had a small argument with someone claiming that we didn’t have more deaths last year once you took off flu!

Hospital admissions are rising too. Both older patients yet to take up the invitation to be vaccinated, and young fit patients in their 20’s and 30’s who have not yet had the chance. There are ~1500 COVID patients in NHS hospitals. The January peak was just under 40,000...

Still very early in this wave but it does seem that fewer ICU patients are needing a ventilator. Many are managing with mid-level support from devices such as CPAP and High-Flow Nasal Oxygen which is good news. We currently have 250 COVID patients in ICU beds across the UK.
