Absolutely rammed in the Etihad jab centre.

Bet I pick up covid from here ffs.

Missus is booked in there this weekend and its a genuine worry of mine.

If only that were true.

If we have having 400k infections today and only a twentieth of those are testing positive for Omicron then "for the most part" is an accurate statement.
Hospitalisations and deaths happen during a regular Flu season as well you know.
There will be Hospitalisations and deaths with Omicron too.

MPs told that a Wuhan lab leak of genetically engineered virus is now the most likely cause of this pandemic. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/12/15/wuhan-lab-leak-now-likely-origin-covid-mps-told/
Synopsis:
No candidate virus for species jump found despite extensive search.
Closest is bat virus found in Laos sampled by Wuhan lab.
2018: Wuhan Lab Research paper "We'd like to put a horn on a horse."
End of 2019: A unicorn turns up in Wuhan.

Basically all one big queue then when you get near the end walk ups have a queue jump aisle lol

You get a couple of stickers on your coat, can wear as a badge of honour. Had mine on Derby Day, took about an hour.

We won't have 400k infections today, though.

So restrictions are pointless. Just get jabbed if you haven’t been is the only advice we should be given tonight.

The peak of the epidemic will be reduced and delayed by restrictions, whether voluntary, compulsory or forced by infections.

Delay allows more vaccination, reducing in peak minimises healthcare overload.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

612,976 jabs yesterday with over 548,000 booster jabs, which must be good news.

He said data from South Africa and the Zoe App showed that other unusual symptoms of Omicron include a “bit of gut upset, loose stools and that sort of thing”.

Effective way of avoiding piling on the pounds on at Christmas.
