ICNARC have updated their analysis of COVID patients in critical care in England, Wales and NI. They now show boosted patients as well.
They are shown in green.
Yes, I've put them on the chart.

But I was told the vaccines don’t work….
I basically don’t care about Omicron at all, but I still wouldn’t go on a cruise. Concert or bar or symphony? Sure. But a cruise? No thanks.
This remains the most important chart: Vaccines are working. Unvaxxed are taxing hospital capacity and everyone else pays. https://t.co/kRt00XtqU9

But the libs say the vaccines are useless.
Turns out, no.
I'm so old I remember when President Trump was an all powerful being. https://t.co/1QAacfGOFG

Me too. But I told you that the narrative was going to shift when Biden was in office just as it did with Obama. And it happened exactly as I said it would. The story as told by Dems/libs went from the president (Trump) was all-powerful and omnipotent, to how Biden is completely powerless, as weak as a tadpole fighting an ichthyosaur.
Funny how that happens. Dems are terrible and deserve to lose.
Zeynep's law: Until there is substantial and repeated evidence otherwise, assume counterintuitive findings to be false, and second-order effects to be dwarfed by first-order ones in magnitude.

That is a great law and a heuristic I was already using but it helps to have it more formalized.
like 95% of my cognitive abilities apparently go to "accurately weighing the MANY variables that determine if a restaurant is good or sucks using a methodology that is very hard to verbalize"

I am also great at finding good restaurants, but this skill very much applies to other things too. This isn’t an isolated capability and I think she is being humble/underselling herself.
To find a good restaurant one must evaluate multiple noisy signals, ignore what most people believe to be true and compensate for all the review tampering. One must also adjust for regional factors and preferences (for instance, where a lot of old people live, very terrible restaurants with plain food will tend to be spoken of highly).
How I find a good restaurant is exactly the same method I use to determine if an expert is bullshitting or lying, and how I figure out complex problems in my day job. These skills are inseparable. It’ll never be perfect, but I’ll take my 80-90% hit rate in all those fields over most people’s 0-10% any damn day.
Sex with my husband is amazing – so why doesn’t he orgasm?
Eh, I’ve never orgasmed easily and never will. It doesn’t matter hugely to me. And if I overheat during sex, which I am prone to doing as I do not really sweat, there’s no way in hell it’s happening.
Contrary to what you read, not every guy is the same. Not all are motivated by the same things in the bedroom or anywhere else. I know that both male conformity-policing and feminists have portrayed all men as slavering, orgasm-seeking beasts, but it just ain’t so.
The husband might need a little help, but maybe that’s just how he is. (Still, having an honest and empathetic conversation about it is the right thing to do.)
Common Office Desk Phone Could Be Leaking Info to Chinese Government, Report Alleges.
I would be surprised if this weren’t happening. Sure it’s true of many different products with Chinese components where back doors are easy to hide.
