Does anyone know if you are specifically told that you have the Omicron variant? Son tested positive on Wednesday and his PCR message just said he was positive.

This. If we had spent the last 2 years locked away in our homes and only venturing out in gas masks to forage for food think about how much of a better place we would all be in right now?

Roll on another lockdown I say.

With talk like that you’ll get a few people on here all giddy with excitement.

Makes me laugh of proposed restrictions after Christmas. If SA is anything to go by we’ll be nearing the peak of cases by then anyway and hopefully burnt itself out.

Indoor house mixing restrictions will have a ridiculously low compliance rate if they try it.

They will be too busy gorging themselves on what plan C will entail right now.

2-7k you said was in the press conference? 7k is the WCS. You need to look at the granular detail of the models and the spread to get a full understanding of the figures quoted.

I have read the paper at least twice. I witnessed the press briefing. I know what was published and what they led with in the briefing. Which to be fair based on our discussion this morning is significantly more than your good self as you seemingly wernt even aware of the paper a hr ago. So would appreciate a bit less of the condescending attitude Thanks.

And despite all that you still don’t understand it.

wasnt he the expert advising us all on social diatancing measures at the start of the pandemic who then went on to break his own adice just to get his leg over. Oh dear.

But SAGE never manages to cover the spread. Their best case scenario always ends up being far worse then what happens real world.

Your wasting your time with this one. He just likes an argument for the sake of it sadly.

The problem with your last sentence is that people will be self deciding the best way through the pandemic, not only for themselves, but on behalf of others too. That imo, is not a good way fwd.
