Thanks for taking the time to consider my points Alegrias. Though numbers of cases on graphs are shown to be flatlining, I’m not completely convinced this is an accurate reflection.
Current practice to only acknowledge new infections, particularly when Omicron is highly contagious and some people are being reinfected, is not sound mathematically. How can we trust how many cases there are when only a sub section of them are presently being shown on the graphs? Yes, this will alter from tomorrow.
Agreed that cases are more likely to be fewer than real case numbers; it would be interesting to compare ONS findings for January 2021 and this month and see how they stack up against government statistics for those periods. I am happy to be corrected on this.
The observations of LovelyLady, GNers, practice nurses and myself signal what is happening in the community. They are based upon personal experience and do not appear to be borne out in published graphs. Infected school children may in turn spread the infection to the adults with whom they live and mix.
I am not suspicious, nor am I anti-science. As I explained in my previous post, I would be further convinced if the figures were more comprehensive and more precise.
We are right to discuss; my thoughts were given to exchange ideas - no more than that; I sincerely hope that you are correct for everyone’s sake.
It is not my intention to cause anyone on GN alarm or to present the idea that things are worse than they are. I want to trust the maths.
Right then (it sounds as if sleeves need to be rolled up when saying this), I’ve said my piece.
