Coronavirus (2021) thread

[Gabriel]

It’s all a game of risk assessment. The worst case scenario is Omicron mutating and being contagious ++ and more severe than it is.

Best case is that it’s now akin to a common cold and acts as a natural vaccine and kills off Covid 19 as a threat.

The reality will probably be somewhere in between.

I agree, though I think there should be a bit more push back in the media on the scientists/advisors/politicians in regards to why they appear to be cherry picking information from South Africa.

Assuming that it doesn’t become the Armageddon feared, I suspect society will either come to a shuddering halt early next week, at which point the government will either have to do another U-turn or put the country into hibernation, or, in the first week of January, with a new year ahead and a sense of resolution, the general public will have decided that the symptoms are more ‘cold-like’ than death-like’ and demand an immediate return to normalcy.

Should be an interesting few weeks.

More cold like than death like is definitely my preferred choice.

Bickering and conspiracies aside...anyone know what the queues are like at the Etihad jab centre?

As bad as match days?

Presumably if you go 10-15 minutes before they close, there can be hardly anyone there…

You shouldn't have to pay mate.

London was a joke during the first lockdown, very few wearing masks compared to the rest of the country.

We had very different experiences.

So are we banging pots and pans tomorrow or not?

I was expected Pfizer but was given Moderna.

Most people I've spoken too seem to be getting Moderna recently.
