Coronavirus outbreak

[Craig the cyclist]

🇨🇴 it's coming next people.

Looking forward to the graphs on this one!

Go on, @Craig the cyclist ! Give us a clue: which graphs are you particularly looking forward to? Or is this a response to @silva's incoherent rant?
Here's a graph I made earlier:

https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/cases
Since the peak on 16 Jul (at 47,905 by specimen date) testing has dropped 35% (1M to 650k), rather less than cases.

It is unlikely to be a random 35% that have stopped testing, as others suggest. Be cautious.

Also, one person can/will account for more than one test. (I do min 2 per week as an example)

Keep your eye out for the Colombian variant, coming next....................... (and no, that isn't a joke!)

Give over. That graph above is legit & by Christmas we will have just about forgotten all about Covid.

Is that the Lambda variant, which had eight cases in the UK this time last month?

 

[Seevio]

Are the variants named in (Greek) alphabetical order? If so, what happened to the epsilon to kappa variants? Were they just a bit crap?

That is a brave post, given that the thread in which it is posted is littered with the tattered remnants of confident assertions about how quickly covid will be gone, going right back to the very first pages. I did notice the last time that I looked back that a number of the people making those early bold predictions have ceased visiting the website for whatever reason.

There's a rule about not discussing past members when they're not here to defend themselves for good reason.

I will say this, though. The poster I'm alluding to... yuge hands, you're not gonna believe it.

Ok. The other variants are a bit crap. I am well aware that mutations are random and can be bad as well as good.

SAGE noted in a recent report that we ate 100% certain to get a variant that evades the vaccine.

I find that hard to swallow!
