how he can he stand there announce more lockdown measures on the day videos emerge of these fuckers having parties at number 10 Last year ignoring their own advice.

boris - party at number 10
ferguson - travel to see your mistress
hancock - have an affair with your aide.
cummings - whatever he was fucking doing still not worked it out, testing my eyes so I went for a drive ?

Meanwhile rest of us plebs follow the rules.

I wouldn’t mind but all the early evidence I am reading is stating that omnicron isn’t resulting in severe illness.

it was only a few months ago they were saying get your flu jab and boosters to save Xmas. Millions come forward and do that and these fuckers just do it anyway.

people aren’t going to accept it this time ( except WFH of course)
 
Genuine question......
I just read summat on the BBC.....says less than a fifth of infections are tested for variants.
If that's the case how can the determine how many cases of the new variant there is?

He’s now using our health and well being as a shield for his lies. Still, his hairs all frizzy so that’s ok.

Talked to a dozen+ government figures yesterday afternoon about Covid policy and no one was suggesting Plan B would be announced today. All pinned on next week.

Less than 24 hours later...suddenly an announcement is imminent. What sped up the thinking overnight I wonder?

Football fans are set to be forced to show “vaccine passport” to enter stadiums from this weekend.

Admittance to nightclubs in France is by vaccine passport only. Yet, nightclubs are to close for 4 weeks in France after a surge in cases. The unvaccinated have been banned from nightclubs since July.
Looks like it’s yet another policy where nobody in government can spot the obvious problem!

Same way that election polls work. Results are pro rata’d up.
 
Political theatre strikes again as Boris is under pressure due to his Christmas party scandal so introduces ridiculous and pointless measures in an attempt to distract. We haven't been in an epidemic in this country for months now and the situation in hospitals is better than it was 6 weeks ago so you'd have to be a moron to think this is genuinely about Covid.
 
From BBC.....


The talk behind the scenes now is about what needs to be done to slow the spread of Omicron.

This is not about lockdown, rather buying time for more boosters to be given.

So measures such as issuing a work-from-home directive are certainly being considered.

That’s because of how fast cases of the new variant are growing.

Ignore the official total of confirmed Omicron infections – just over 400 – as this is the tip of the iceberg. Less than a fifth of infections are checked for variants.

From testing data, experts believe around 2% of positive cases – approaching 1,000 a day – could be Omicron. And that’s just the people who come forward for testing.

What is clear is the numbers are rising rapidly – doubling every two or three days, according to government adviser Prof Neil Ferguson.

There are suggestions the variant is causing milder illness – and that certainly makes sense as reinfections or infections post vaccination are likely to not be as serious.

But even if that is the case, a rapid rise in infections still has the potential to cause more hospital admissions than we are seeing now.

And the uncertainty about that is why it would not be a surprise if the government took action.

Not just in government. People still haven't grasped that the vaccinated are catching and spreading covid. So what the hell are vaccine passports for?

Will football players/staff also be required to show vaccine passports as well to enter the stadium? I read that there was around a third that hadn't been vaccinated.

Will be hard to get another two tier system running again after partygate

Yet they say you can’t fool the sheeple all of the time. Well, it looks like the liars are about to have another go at it.

That’ll work a treat in stopping a respiratory virus, that you can catch and pass on, even though you’ve been vaccinated. I wonder why Germany, France and the Republic of Ireland haven’t tried it?
Apparently they have.

Don't come here with facts. Don't you know the unvaccinated non-mask wearers are the entire reason Covid still exists?

We'd have got rid of it by May 2020 if only everyone masked up.

Because the idea is to make the fucking idiots that have refused a vaccine actually have one. That way they will be less likely to take up all the NHS bed space when they catch Delta or omicron.

No one gives a fuck who catches a “mild” case.

Hahaha it’s not a “fact”. It’s a statement from someone incapable of actually thinking things through and like by other idiots.
