Do you think this is really a bad idea with Delta rife and cases expanding, the NHS at breaking point already and the new Omicron variant (about which we know pretty much diddly squat) likely to accelerate to dominance in mere weeks? A bit of caution until we know a bit more about the effects of Omicron might be pretty sensible, actually. It's so new that we don't even have the data as to how dangerous it is likely to be to both the vaccinated and unvaccinated. We'll have a better idea in a week or two. Caution until then at least is very sensible.

Or, we could just carry on as usual, see a similar 3-4 day doubling time as South Africa and then discover we're facing a much more serious problem than we thought when there are tens of thousands of Omicron infections a day - alongside thousands of Delta infections.

You can't be cautious or sensible retrospectively. You'd have thought we'd have learned more from all of the many recent fuckups since the pandemic began.


It's laughable really when the so called experts don't even discuss it.

Nowt new there then. They didn't take it seriously at the start with Bojo not even bothering to attend the first meetings.

They also had many meetings prior to the pandemic to discuss their response should one ever become a reality, which of course it did. All the recommendations on preparedness from the relevant experts were totally ignored.

I read tonight that scientists think the new variant is spreading at a current rate of a thousand infections a day, which of course will grow exponentially. We can only hope it doesn't turn out as bad as feared, but if it does, we won't be ready for it.

This government is pathetic. The worst set of politicians this country has ever had.

New UKHSA data about Omicron out. Here's a rundown:

TLDR. We're copulated. At this trajectory, they are estimating a million cases as day by Christmas.Double vaccination with AZ offers basically zero protection against infection. Hopefully, will hold up well enough against serious disease, however. Very preliminary data seems to indicate that 2xAZ followed by a Pfizer booster offers up to 75% protection against infection. Same goes for 3xPfizer. Hopefully, these figures are an accurate estimate and the booster programme can do enough to avert catastrophe. On a personal level, I hope 2xAZ followed by Moderna boost does the trick as well!

If we're not in lockdown before Christmas, I'll be staggered. excrement.

We were never going in to lockdown, regardless of your views of covid or how risk averse you are. The reasons for not going in to lockdown range from being a government without a clue, to the strain not being as dangerous as first thought to economic reasons and many more I suspect.

I’ve just taken a role at a new school, they’ve been quite tight on restrictions etc compared to my previous school but to a person, everyone is just fed up. Everyone knows it’s not going away but people are sick to death of alleged restrictions..
