It means that it is standard practice to COVID test people who are admitted to hospital. So in other words these people did not realise they have COVID.

Not seeing much increase in this data?

Good T cell response against Omicron from both vaccinated & previously infected:
www.news-medical.net
Study significance
"The study findings reveal that the majority of T cell epitopes targeted in vaccinated or previously infected individuals remain unaffected by omicron mutations. Thus, it can be expected that pre-existing T cell immunity will have a robust impact against the newly emerged omicron variant."
"Overall, the study highlights the significance of robust T cell responses in preventing severe omicron infections, despite increased infectivity and antibody escape ability of the variant."

Some good news.
The Food and Drug Administration authorized the first oral antiviral treatment for COVID-19, Pfizer's Paxlovid drug.
Head of the USA CDC says 70% and up to 90% of cases is omnicron. There was a story somewhere that said 1 death has been attributed to the omnicron variant.

Yeah in UK overall it's pretty flat as the London area is about a week further along the wave than other regions. But if you look at the London only figures on the gov website you see hospitalisations are increasing fast, which looks pretty scary until you scroll further down and see ventilated patients haven't increased at all.

Also this article just published basically confirms this

Yes, most of the early data suggests omicron is significantly less virulent than delta. But it is still early days and governments are erring on the side of caution until we know for sure. In my country, yesterday QR code check-ins in all hospitality and retail settings were re-introduced. I hope it is only for a short time.
Sorry to read they are bringing back QR code check-ins. I hope like you and for you that its only a short time.
The early data looks encouraging also I do think the South African data and info was really good news.

The UK had 40-50k delta cases a day for months. Delta didn't just disappear.
The people are hospitalized with covid but not for covid? Didn't we play this game already all last year with covid deaths? I seriously doubt delta cases are going down that much.

Here's an article from the Cleveland Clinic about basically what an anti-viral pill is and how it works.

Interesting. If it does work well it could be using as a booster shot in the future.

Masks being reintroduced to all indoor settings now also (apart from in personal homes). Happy Holidays

Masks have been compulsory in all settings in Hong Kong since June 2020 and there is no COVID here.
In the USA the CDC says omnicron is the dominate varriant. Why would the UK be different?
Every hospital regardless of issue requires a test before admission. They could be coming in for a finger surgery or appendectomy. They are required to test and then its a positive for covid. They did not show up to the hospital with covid symptoms and in many cases will never show symptoms. Yet they are admitted into the hospital for the procedure they showed up with and are now a covid patient.
Omicron now dominant Covid-19 variant in US, according to CDC
The fast-spreading Omicron variant is now the dominant strain of Covid-19 in the United States, health authorities reported Monday, as the WHO called for greater efforts to ensure the pandemic ends next…

The beuracrats want you to wear a mask in your own home. If they could they would require it and punish those who do not comply. Meanwhile the tv doctors continue to spread garbage via the media.Masks being reintroduced to all indoor settings now also (apart from in personal homes). Happy Holidays

The only solace I would get from that would be if the bureaucrats themselves are forced to wear these claustrophobic devices in their own homes. The pandemic has created a media and politician led gravy train and they are milking it for all its worth before it inevitably fades. Example, focusing on rising case counts due to delta/omicron rather than hospitalizations. TV doctors are part of this but if the media wants to pay me big bucks to share my professional opinion I'm not saying no.
p.s. Another day of data and the UK is strongly suggesting omicron is massively less virulent. Still no sign of increasing deaths or hospitalizations after the massive spike in cases. The spike started around Dec 15, the below data is to Dec 22. Still a little early to draw conclusions but I am optimistic, hopefully the TV doctors and health bureaucrats are working on their I got it wrong spiels.

I had mentioned before that private facilities had been authorized to accelerate military C19 vaccines that had been made available very early on in the US. Key players in government had access and most took the opportunity. This would seem to be along the same research track that doesn't necessarily go to the CDC or private side until proven.
Maybe ranagazoo was just making a flyby and won't be back to answer what they meant?
Yaco and Ultrairon pretty much summed it up already, people testing positive while hospitalised for a different issue. The main indicator is that London covid hospitalisations have been going up for 8 or 9 days but the patients on ventilation number hasn't risen at all. Usually these two values follow the same trends within a day or two of each other but not this time. Also reported that average time spend in hospital is loads shorter
You want to call someone a fascists again? Reported. You only troll its terrible.
I think you are wrong but see up thread what i think it means. Be better?

South Africa is looking to be coming out of this ok. Why the panic?
USA is still looking like its going to be ok.
