Was reading this morning where they think it may have peaked in Britain. Let’s hope so we are normally right behind them. They also feel the cases will drop dramatically once we hit that peak. We will know in about a week how things will shake out and if we follow how things went in South Africa
Yep me as well. I think I know more people with it than I do without. The articles I read said that in areas where they see a drop they believe it is actually because it has infected most of the people it is going to infect. It is interesting that Britain decided not to be as restrictive this time and may see it end more quickly than places that are more restrictive. Obviously the numbers will bear out whether this is true or not as we look back several months from now.
Friendly PSA hospitals are running out of blood... If you can donate, please do. Share the word with your friends and family.
It would really suck watching someone die because your hospital doesn't have enough blood to treat them. (Have heard of this happening on multiple nursing groups)

Very good article. Thank you for posting. I think our focus is beginning to shift from infection rate to severity especially with the proliferation of omicron infections.
This article also shows some encouraging statistics as it pertains to the severity of omicron.
