My feel this year was that political, economical and military issues discussed in the main stream media have parted from the objective reality more than they have done at any previous time in my life. I sometimes look into a mirror and think 'well, maybe its just you.' But it is not just me. Other analysts have come to similar conclusion. But, like me, neither of them gets quoted in main stream media and neither is paid in a traditional sense to publish on these issues. Which, thinking of it, may well be the root of this theme. and Russia no longer had a low level economy. Yes, its GDP in dollar terms was much lower than those of most European states. But its GDP per capita measured at purchase power of the ruble was quite high. Russia's GDP also includes a much higher percentage of real production and a lower percentage of dubious 'services'. Its health care sector https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.XPD.CHEX.GD.ZS" style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0); text-decoration: underline; font-family: georgia, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(222, 227, 233); - is 5.6% of its GDP. In the U.S. it is 16.7%, without creating a much better outcome. (giving room for extreme incomes, profits on healthcare does not give better healthcare...)

Also here in NL we are moving towards a crisis ...politics stop reporting statistics as an answer... The UK Government introduced two precautionary measures in early January 2023, in response to the step-change observed in the Chinese epidemic. First, people travelling directly from China will be required to show a negative test result before boarding their flight. Second, a sample of travellers from China will be tested on entry to the UK and any SARS-CoV-2 lineages will be genetically sequenced to identify new variants. However, passengers arriving and testing positive will not be obliged to self-isolate. Independent SAGE has the following comments on this approach:
From the UK perspective, the NHS is already under unprecedented systemic pressure, exacerbated by both COVID and other winter viruses including resurgent influenza virus. XBB.1.5 is one of the most immune-evasive SARS-CoV-2 variants to date. It also appears to be more transmissible. These features help explain why XBB.1.5 is currently outcompeting other variants such as the BQ lineages in the US, and may also be why it appears to be associated with higher hospitalisation rates. Thus, we urgently need the multi-layered approach (a.k.a. “ https://www.bmj.com/content/376/bmj.o1" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgba(30, 115, 190, 0.96); text-decoration: underline; word-break: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; - Vaccines Plus ”) as called for by the Scientific Advisory Group in Emergences (SAGE) in their paper published in 2021: “ https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/spi-b-sustaining-behaviours-to-reduce-sars-cov-2-transmission-30-april-2021/spi-b-sustaining-behaviours-to-reduce-sars-cov-2-transmission-22-april-2021" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgba(30, 115, 190, 0.96); text-decoration: underline; word-break: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; - Sustaining behaviours to reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission ” and the associated journal article “ https://bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bjhp.12557" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgba(30, 115, 190, 0.96); text-decoration: underline; word-break: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; - Staying ‘COVID-safe’: Proposals for embedding behaviours that protect against COVID-19 transmission in the UK ” Immediate steps, as called for by Independent SAGE in its https://www.independentsage.org/independent-sage-end-of-year-2022-statement/" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgba(30, 115, 190, 0.96); text-decoration: underline; word-break: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; - final report of 2022 , are:
These immediate measures need to be combined in the longer term with Government investment to make public spaces (social, educational and workplace) safe through ventilation and air filtration, providing free tests and masks for those unable to afford them, and an effective public communication campaign about the symptoms associated with current variants. These are critical steps needed to reduce the likelihood of people transmitting SARS-CoV2, becoming seriously ill and/or dying from COVID-19. Finally, many, even without severe infections, may suffer long-term health problems due to long COVID.

ConclusionOur analysis suggests that a significant number of patients could be dying because of long delays accessing emergency care. We estimate this number at over 400 deaths each week between September and November, though it might be higher. The measure we have used is 30-day mortality, so not all of these deaths occur within A&E, or even within the hospital setting. There have always been some long delays in A&E departments, particularly during the winter months. However, delays have grown considerably longer since the summer of 2021. This suggests that more additional deaths from long delays might be occurring than was the case pre-pandemic. So this issue is likely to be contributing to https://covidactuaries.org/2022/09/04/a-summer-of-excess-deaths/" style="box-sizing: inherit; background-color: transparent; touch-action: manipulation; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(221, 51, 51); border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(221, 51, 51, 0.8); transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out 0s; border-top-color: rgba(221, 51, 51, 0.8); border-right-color: rgba(221, 51, 51, 0.8); border-left-color: rgba(221, 51, 51, 0.8); - observed excess deaths .
