Market cap of £70bn equates to a SP of 97p. That's a few years away but nice if it gets there eventually.

Paul2566, can you post a link to the page you have read; I have been on the website but cannot find the blog by Andrew Page on the Omicron variant.

How can you make an analogy? Where we have been is a known entity. Where we are going is an unknown. We can all guess and use our own individual perspective and all come up with different view points, but that is purely "crystal ball" gazing.

OK, so you are TELLING me you are right and I am wrong? Contrary to your belief, battering your head against a brick wall would be beneficial to you by knocking some sense into you.

Gazzleberry;
"The first wave affected everyone and everything. The second wave similarly. Why would a third, fourth or fifth wave not affect everyone? Especially if this one, of thirty known variants, is resistant to the vaccines."
The first and second waves affected everyone because there was no vaccine. Looking at the statistics for daily infections reported suggests to me that we have been in a third wave for the last 2 months, but because of the vaccination programme roll out, the number of deaths and people requiring hospitalisations has been greatly reduced. If the vaccine was not effective how else do you explain the greatly reduced number of daily deaths and hospitalisations? IF the new variant does show resistance to current vaccines, scientists should be able to quickly modify the vaccine(s) accordingly.
