There are some parallels between how the Omicron surge is receding in the UK and how the Alpha surge receded across the US back in February-April of 2021. In that case there was a drop, then it leveled off and went up for a week or so, then it resumed it’s drop. Hopefully that is happening here as well. It is also possible that the delta drop would have followed a similar path if not for the fact that omicron surged when it did.
Many other variables change in one country eg school holidays, changing rules re distancing and masks etc. England is newly fully open so I’d be surprised to see the drop resume.
I guess we’ll see. UK’s 7dma is currently the lowest it has been since December 21 per the nytimes tracker:
Ok? As less people get sick, less people get tested…. Has the positivity rate stayed the same or gone up? Because posting the testing data without the positivity rate is pretty lol.
We’re told no need for PCR after postive LFT, hence the case numbers, based off PCR only have dropped a little
OK Bud, you must have watched more of his vids than me.
So the positivity rate is declining, the number of tests are declining, and the number of cases are declining, but maybe cases are actually increasing because reasons?
Sure didn’t. Did you actually read my post that you were responding to?:
What about your R0 graph contradicts my post in any way?
Officials tested each returning passenger three times in nearby Fiji, required that they be vaccinated, and put them in quarantine with additional testing when they arrived home.
It wasn’t enough.
More than half the passengers tested positive for the virus, which has now slipped out into the community and prompted the government to declare a state of disaster.

Wow, somehow Mormonism was only the second worst thing they were trying to spread.

I opted not to pull that detail out because the flight had non missionaries and everyone aboard were actually Kiribati citizens.
Don’t let facts get in the way of a joke, imo.

Citation needed.
If it’s so obvious it should be easy to support
Lol. I mean, we can all play this game:
Are vaccinated people more likely to be socially responsible and therefore take a test? Yes.
Are vaccinated people more likely to believe covid exists and therefore take a test? Yes
Are vaccinated people more likely to fear covid and therefore take a test when symptomatic? Yes.
There’s a reason we don’t confirm things by thinking about them.

It’s perfectly fair to confirm things by thinking about them, the problem is that it’s not so straightforward here and there’s a lot of confounding variables.
Therefore, the person claiming something needs to cite something
