The small 'o' Whoops pardon my greek

BBC "The UK has recorded the highest number of daily Covid-19 cases since the beginning of the pandemic, with 78,610 reported on Wednesday.


The previous record was 68,053 on 8 January - when the UK was in lockdown.


Speaking at a news conference, England's chief medical officer Prof Chris Whitty warned that records will be broken a lot in the next few weeks.


He added people should prioritise what matters with regards to social mixing in the run-up to Christmas.

• A record day for Covid cases - what does it tell us?

Speaking alongside Prof Whitty, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said it was "absolutely vital" that everyone gets a booster jab.


He warned that in some areas the doubling rate for cases was now under two days, adding: "I'm afraid we're also seeing the inevitable increase in hospitalisations up by 10% nationally, week-on-week, and up by almost a third in London."

NSW hospital data trend is more interesting perhaps- That trend is not our friend

All this talk about how Omicron is not as dangerous as Delta has conveniently forgotten about Long COVID. So, calculating the impact of long COVID, from the Conversation.

We calculated the impact of 'long COVID' as Australia opens up. Even without Omicron, we're worried (theconversation.com)

What is it with these fools? The young man who caused the super spreader event in Newcastle was supposed to self isolate, but he went to the night club instead. What hope do we have, when our safety relies on people doing the right thing? Now the Authorities are asking Newcastle residents to give Xmas a miss. Couple of questions. Why open up and drop restrictions when it's obvious it's not the right time.? And why are the crew who lost control of Delta still in charge ?.
192 in hospital. 26 in ICU
Postpone Xmas, Newcastle residents told, as Omicron cases explode (thenewdaily.com.au)

"And two very good questions they are too Prime Minister" "Well Humphrey?"
