Good to read, thanks for posting

"How many patients have symptoms and how many don't" is a matter for the research papers. For the here and now of managing a pandemic, it's a waste of energy.

No, I don't agree. The volume of patients requiring treatment for covid symptoms is very important when trying to judge the impact of opening up things like schools, retail, pubs and restaurants. If 6 weeks from now we have 1000 people in hospital who are PCR positive the media will be screaming blue murder, ISAG on the 6.1 news waving shrouds and telling us 'We told you so', the teachers unions threatening to not go back in September and this is ok when ~80% of them are coincidental/asymptomatic and or acquired it in hospital?

He said over half of covid cases we're seeing in our hospitals are for non covid reasons. To me that doesn't sound like it's because of the outbreak in Mayo hospital (which he did mention separately). Sounded to me like a more generally 50% thing. I'm going to assume this is the case in all our hospitals until told otherwise but you can disagree if you want. ICU is another matter and again we don't know the breakdown for reasons there as they won't tell us.

I thought they were worried that people might put potatoes and the like into the test and then be misled by the results.

The UK death rate with Covid is now 0.1% within 28 days of a positive tests. That's 1 chance in 1000.

The average age of all cause death in the UK is 81.26 year. That's 976 months

So the normal death rate for any reason is pretty much 0.1% per month.

When do u get covid-19 certificate?

The second you receive your second dose or a week or two after that?

Several is not many! Paul Reid had some figures on ICU stays and it wasn't months.
