Hopefully we'll look back on this some day next summer and wonder what all the fuss was about.
So here it is ...18.12.2021, quotes from Holohan (and the Indo)
“The more optimistic scenarios show 8,000 to 10,000 cases per day, 500 to 750 people requiring general hospital care, and 150 to 250 people requiring critical care, or 650 to 1,000 people in total in hospital at peak.
“The more pessimistic scenarios show in excess of 20,000 cases per day, over 1,500 people requiring general hospital care, and in excess of 400 people requiring critical care, or more than 2,000 people in total in hospital overall at peak,” he said.
It should be noted that the level of infection is such that at peak, between 2pc and 5pc of the population could be infected, and between 6pc and 25pc of the population could be a close contact of an infected person.”
If you find interesting data over the next days / weeks, please post it here, but use the other threads for major discussion ...let's see if this works or is of any interest.The Omicron variant now accounts for 27pc of all new Covid-19 infections.
