These restictions are not going to help anyone. The train to and from the game today was a joke. So overcrowded. They want you to wear a mask for the 90 seconds you are in your local shop but will happily allow 600 people to stand next to each other in a train built to carry 300.

Is your point that overcrowding should be prevented by proper management by the rail company?
 
Looking like the responsible population will be generally ok after three jabs. I have very good friends whose children have not had the vax, I properly disagree with them but I don’t want them to suffer, hopefully Omicron changes their outlook.
 
Think we can say Greater Manchester has acquired Omicron cases in numbers over the past few days. The cases have dramatically gone up - especially in the last 48 hours - in the way this variant seems to be doing once it takes root.

Manchester has gone from 188 cases 10 days ago to 367 yesterday and 534 today - highest in a very long time in the city.

Trafford has tripled from 130 to 349 in the same period.

And Salford and Stockport doubled to 261 and 249 respectively. As has Rochdale (to 249)

Wigan up nearly 100 in that period on 271.

Only Bolton - the borough that pioneered the Delta wave in the UK back in April - has anything like normal numbers now and is on course to soon be the lowest scoring place in the ten GM boroughs across the entire pandemic for the first time whilst its only rivals - Stockport (currently the lowest scorers) and Trafford - are racing up.

Bolton is still posting modest numbers and is for now on its own in GM doing that.

Zoe by the way predicted this happenimg correctly over the past week of data.

Bit scary to see this happening locally and to fear this is just the start and doubling like this might go on in coming days to reach unprecedented numbers,

Be careful out there. It is clear Omicron will be all around you. And whilst hopefully for most catching it will not mean hospitalisation some will and it is inevitable bed occupancy will escalate if these kind of big numbers continue to double week to week.

Hopefully they will prove the models wrong and flatten off early.

It spreads like billyo and it is a lot less virulent. The only question is it less virulent enough?
The cases in the UK and hospitalisation over the next two weeks or so will show it one way or another.
Dr Campbell's take.
