Anyone have any idea what time the new restrictions are being announced today?

Every passing day it looks like omicron is going to have a big impact.

Good news of the day:

1. The reported 40 fold drop in efficacy of vaccines is on antibody titre. Efficacy vs serious illness is likely to drop by far, far less. Don't pay to much attention to headlines.

2. You should be able to book boosters online now 61 days post 2nd jab. Do it now. Boosters will almost certainly help you vs serious illness, and probably somewhat against infection too.

Being repeatedly wrong isn't something most people like to boast about, but by all means carry on.

I think the NHS will call you but refers to the other categories.

And every time you do you reinforce the fact you don't know what a pandemic is.

Global Pandemic = A disease/virus that is prevalent around the world.
Country Pandemic = A disease/virus that is prevalent around the country.

Even if we had 0 cases in our country we are still in a global Pandemic. But right now its a disease/virus that is prevalent around our country too. 50k cases a day!.

So we tick both boxes, Just because you decide you think we're not in one doesn't make it so and suggesting it is idiotic.

We aren't in an epidemic in the UK. 0.01% of the population being ill isn't an epidemic. We have moved to the endemic phase of Covid and did so months ago.

We don't tick the country pandemic box with 50k cases because 98.5% of them are mild. Are we currently in a country pandemic of a cold? Do we have a country pandemic of flu every winter?
