• As far as I can ascertain there have been no recorded deaths from the new deadly variant worldwide, no hospitalisations in the UK, and generally mild symptoms reported in SA.

    More authy nonsense to come from our govts. Let's follow the science. With the exception of vaccination no other authy measures seem to have done much to mitigate the virus. One wonders whether they are proportionate under the current public health based emergency powers.

  • Yet strangely, where I live, the last two weeks have doubled the number of people in ICU (and hospitalisation in general), infections are at a pre-summer level and we're at a daily death level not seen since March. Of course, there are circumstances that impact this (winter, more gatherings etc) but causal or casual links are irrelevant if you're the one on oxygen wondering if you're going to die.
