The whole of sa is getting infected. Yes the population is generally younger but they're not all young. 20% of the population has hiv.
You can compare previous waves in the country to this one. In july 91% of their covid wards were full compared to 13% now in gauteng.

Surely its not age as a number that is important but where they are in comparable age life expectancy terms?
Maybe. Which is why i said compare this wave to previous waves in the country.
Finneys point was that it may effect the uk differently as we have different demographics etc... which is a very valid point. There are many variables.

I wasn't replying to you per se, there's been a few posters talking about the age issue, ut was just because yours was the most recent.
They reached testing capacity. Positivity rate is still going up. Think they can only test around 50k people a day.

Felt rough for 3 days, tested negative, woke up this morning feeling really brick and bingo a positive lateral flow test
Off to get a PCR test soon, really hope it’s just me who gets it as we had plans for next week, was off to Lapland UK so hoping the girls can still go

Sometimes you need to look at more than one set of data. Ask why they are in hospital in the first place. An example is south korea. Their case to hospitalisation rate is 10 times that of the uk. Doesn't mean they are getting any more severe illness.

I'd be more surprised to hear anyone was really following the rules.
How many here can honestly say they didn't see family and friends outside the rules? Or put out a few drinks for staff still in the office?
People have a really fudged up sense of what matters. Trap us in our on homes for months and everyone meekly shuffles back to their shotty little homes and cowers indoors. Needlessly spend billions of our money and they open their wallets to offer them more.
Having a Christmas party though. That's just beyond the line. Can't accept that.
If they don't get a test, they don't get a positive result.

Is the answer. Unless you are specifically wanting to meet someone clinically vulnerable, why would you get one any more? I don't see the logic (when its everywhere and collective immunity will never be higher).

We didn't have access to our premises last Christmas (we only got back in at the start of January), so we just all went and took lots of wine into the woods with a portable stereo one afternoon. Really dignified for a group of 30 and 40 somethings, but did the job morale wise.
Met my mate in the pub yesterday, he'd just had one. I asked him what was the point? About 1 in 60 people are currently infected in the uk at the moment. There was about 30 people in the pub, said there's a 50% chance someone in here has it. During the day at least one or 2 would have come in infected. Breathing everywhere. Omicron the whole country is going to get it again by the looks of things. Isolating won't slow it down for those that bother.
Lets just get on with it. We get sick we get sick. We can't stop living though.
