    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    If we require 5-6 boosters a year and there is no way the NHS can cope with that demand and fulfil it then I can see the goverment just coming out with the same spiel “ the NHS is at breaking point and cannot cope “ so we need to take steps and impose restrictions to prevent them getting...

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    To be fair to the public , a lot of city centres have been quiet and deserted over the last few days or so and pubs etc have been quieter than they would be , this is because people are being cautious , prioritising events and who they see over the festive period in order to try and prevent...

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    Please forgive me if this comes across as me being thick but something that has made me wonder from the beginning say for example on Monday 93,890 is the number reported on Monday , Tuesday 95,890 is reported bearing in mind that each day they say “ a further “ is that a 95,890 in addition to...

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    Charming, if I remember correctly at the beginning of the pandemic , the north of England had the biggest rate , and we had to have restrictions imposed on us then while London etc could go about their lives as normal , now that it’s London with the worryingly high rate we have to join them and...

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    So Boris has said no further restrictions before Christmas but “ can’t rule out further restrictions “ after Christmas come on Boris you know your going to implement further restrictions either from the 26th 27th or 28th so why don’t you just be honest and say so now so people can plan amend and...

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    All these “expert scientists “ like Ferguson etc with their doom and gloom modelling projections which are always wishy washy do they have a wheel full of doom and gloom numbers on , give it one spin each day and go bandying it around to the media and goverment and to anyone who will get...

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    I cannot believe the number of SAGE experts that are saying the NHS is already becoming overwhelmed !!! Yes with people that have none Covid related problems possibly but certainly not from Covid

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    I can’t help but think Starmer isn’t much better , he seems to criticise boris when implements restrictions , he gains support then days later he supports restrictions again , he went ahead in the polls lately people thought he would be anti restrictions , he could have boosted things in his...

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    What boris and javid have said today is exactly the reason we find ourselves in this mess we are in now, scare mongering , coming out with random guesses of how many deaths are expected etc etc

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    So if the one death wasn’t omicron related and this iswhy the hell has boris announced it ? All he is doing is feeding the media hysteria frenzy and comes across like he’s trying to win a popularity contest

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    In the space of a week we have gone from boris saying it will take 2-3 weeks before we find out things about omicron variant to restrictions placed on our freedoms plan B implemented and talks of plans C and D the latter probably mounts to a lockdown without goverment using the actual words the...

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    For me personally I would rather die going about life as normal as possible rather than let boris and his cronies have their way and never set foot out the door again If it’s true that the goverment have had this “lightbulb “ idea to use the N.I increase to fund the indefinite booster...

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    According to ITV news ( which the following is utter claptrap in my opinion ) a London school for tropical medicine specialist estimates between 25,000 and 75,000 odeaths in the UK in the next 5 months from this omicron virus yet IIRC there hasn’t been a single death yet anywhere !!!

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    In the space of 7 days I have heard boris and his spokesperson deny a party took place last year only for evidence to come to light said spokesperson for Boris denied plan C’s existence and that it wasn’t even discussed yet today its looking increasingly likely that Plan C will be inplemented...

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    Apologies if I’m coming across as thick but the legislation link above won’t open for some reason , are the likes of pubs , restaurants , gyms and places of worship still exceptions from mask wearing being a requirement ?

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    Another question I have that intrigues me is , is this new variant the actual thing that could overwhelm and put pressure onto the NHS ? Or is the fact there is a NHS staff shortage that means they will struggle to cope with hospitalisations and the goverment haven’t really done anything of...

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    At yesterdays conference I believe someone from the media or public questioned the vaccine rollout’s success and Whitty snapped back with a defensive answer and it made me think well sir with all due respect I disagree , in my opinion the rollout has been a failure , how can the goverment say...

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    Has it not dawned on the goverment yet , they keep highlighting the need to get vaccinated and a booster jab yet millions have had at least 2 doses and here we are again With restrictions imposed on us clearly they are sending out the message that there is no incentive to get the jab because...
