Anyway, I'm off to Bill Bailey tomorrow, then City boxing day and a couple of other high risk activities in too including a sports event tonight, where I'm off now.

Was very sensible last fortnight as we had my mum's 80th at the weekend and didn't want to kill her.

I don't object if these events are stopped by government to protect society as a whole but I'm buggered if I see why sensible people should stay at home whilst the reckless get their fun, which is the implication of current policy.

So (triple jabbed) should be a fun week if I survive it without infection.
Enjoy and make the most of it. Good decision not to do too much mixing ahead of your mum’s 80th as it really is everywhere now. You may recall I said I wasn’t going to meet my 82 yo dad (triple jabbed but plenty of underlying health issues) for a pint on Sunday just gone as I didn’t want a situation where I unknowingly had it and then passed it on. Turned out to be an even better decision in hindsight as I tested positive on a LFT yesterday morning.
 
Very true, but it kind of shows how much milder Omicron is if most are just having cold/scratchy throat symptoms rather than being ill.

while I dont doubt a lot of people wont be getting tested, for multiple reasons, Mild symptoms down to not wanted ti isolate, for me one of the biggest factors is going to be the fact the dashboard only show 1 case per person. its automatically removed 11.5 million people from being able to be counted for Omicron reinfection.
 
Numbers usually up mid week yes. But kids not at school is making a big difference as they have been the biggest age range testing positive.

On the data thread look at the difference between the age ranges of the 14K weekly tests yesterday and today in the charts provided by Northern Ireland.

Under 19s fall a lot. 20s - 39s rise a lot. Over 60s still falling despite cases rising.

The vaccine boosters seem to be holding well there.

Which kids aren’t at school? Mine has been in up until today.
 
You're accusing a university professor of being a psychopath.

I doubt that's going to help you or anyone else.
She may or may not be a psychopath but what she certainly is doing is cultivating her public persona built up over 18 months of pro-lockdown grifting.

Just shows how much milder omicron appears to be. If someone is unfortunately hospitalised I assume they test and confirm the variant. If so it’s astounding how few are in with the new variant. 126 yesterday and most not in for that.

I assumed they had in Northern Ireland but better news still if not that they are falling as they have driven these cases for many weeks now. Tbh I struggle to recall what date it is let alone the Northern Ireland school dates!
