remember that number . . 85,600.
https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-...3-000-12324110
So we have Delta with 12,431, which, as it's the dominant strain, has more cases than the other two variants. If we knock just one case off the other variants - making them 12,430 each - then the total cases must only be 37,291.
85,600 minus 37,291 gives us 48,309 cases missing . . . have these recovered in a week, or are there more than 3 variants?
. . . or maybe something being 'dominant' doesn't mean what I think it means |
The original COVID-19 strain isn’t a variant- the other 4 are.
Here’s a worrying trend.

Around 1.0 million people in the UK were experiencing self-reported long COVID in May 2021
An estimated 1.0 million people in the UK (1.6%) were experiencing self-reported long COVID at 2 May 2021.
Over a third of people with long COVID symptoms reported experiencing symptoms beyond one year after the first (suspected) infection.
Fatigue, shortness of breath and muscle ache were the most common long COVID symptoms.
Adults aged 35 to 69 years were more likely to report long COVID than those aged 70 years and over.
Individuals of Asian and Black ethnic backgrounds were 0.7 and 0.8 times as likely (approximately 25% less likely) to report long COVID symptoms, respectively, than those of White ethnic background.
People with pre-existing health conditions were more likely to report long COVID than those without.

So we have nothing to fear but fear itself, and death, and Long Covid…
