''As John46 has pointed out .. Omnicron seems much less deadly.. Well is it true?''

Do you not read, I said -
Still too early to determine the severity of Omicron in comparison to previous variants, but it looks at this stage that the effects of Omicron may be less in any case due to the population building up protection from a previous infection and the vaccination programme.
We may well have had similar hospitalised/death figures even if Delta was still the main variant due to the above reasons.

71,022,593,135 .

Would be good to see a buyback commencing in March to take 2 to 3 Billion shares off of the market

People must 'try' to do some thinking for themselves rather than having their mind infused with commentary from people setting up youtube channels.

Comparing official figures between different countries is a complete nonsense.
Some countries are unable or unwilling to put out figures that would be nearer to a true picture.

Example - Daily infection figures over the last week per million population.
UK - 2,056
SA - 172
China - 0.13

True deaths in SA from Covid are probably edging towards 300,000 which means that a large percentage of their population would have had an infection prior to Omicron coming along.

Th
you are an idiot.
Nurse Campbell knows Jack siht.
Have you worked out yet that SA C19 death figures are way understated?

as I have already said -
Still too early to determine the severity of Omicron in comparison to previous variants, but it looks at this stage that the effects of Omicron may be less in any case due to the population building up protection from a previous infection and the vaccination programme.

Apart from the rate of spread, we may well have had similar hospitalised/death figures even if Delta was still the main variant due to the above reasons

Over 48p at 12.30 but under with official close figure - winner went to the wire.

It would be good if at worse we end up with a yearly vaccination against Covid 19, possibly combined with the Flu vaccination.
Time will tell.

''Lloyds share price still down over 30 % for the corresponding period.''
Why do people blindly 'rec' misinformation.

I imagine sc meant that Lloyds was about 30% higher just before the pandemic hit drop.

Lloyds was about 46p on the 2nd March 2020, so a bit UP in 22 months.
Lloyds was about 30% higher than the current price ,2 years ago.
Lloyds currently down a bit over 30% from the price of nearly 4 years ago (about 71p)

buyback is a return of capital to shareholders, by reducing the number of shares in issue - END OF.

About 3,465,000,000 less shares in issue as a result of recent buybacks.
You can work out what the share price would have been at the current market cap with these additional shares on the market.

''Unlike a company like LGEN who stuck two fingers up & continued to pay shareholders.''

You clearly do not know the difference in messaging that the PRA gave to the banks compared with insurers.

''Please confirm to the PRA by 20:00 today whether or not your group is prepared to agree to this request.The PRA stands ready to consider use of our supervisory powers should your group not agree to take such action.''
https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/-/media/boe/files/prudential-regulation/letter/2020/letter-to-hsbc.pdf

To the insurers the PRA wrote
''When UK insurers’ boards are considering any distributions to shareholders or making decisions on variable remuneration, we expect them to pay close attention to the need to protect policyholders and maintain safety and soundness, and in so doing to ensure that their firm can play its full part in supporting the real economy throughout the economic disruption arising from COVID-19.”

''most buybacks ive witnessed end up being a total flop and the price drops less than theyre buying them back''

Why do we get these never ending similar statements from a never ending supply of numpties.

''Covid Has not done as much damage to the Banks as was expected''

Did you know that we had lockdowns, a vaccination programme quick off the mark and support for business from the government.
I think you would most likely to have found that Covid would have done serious damage to banks without these measures.

ch
we are lucky in the UK with our vaccination programmes - hopefully the worst is over for countries such as ours. Even better if any future variant is able to be more easily dealt with.

''the scare mongering''

disgraceful - labelling the death of many millions of Covid 19 deaths in that way.
https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/indias-staggering-covid-19-death-040222217.html

With Covid 19 hospital numbers only having moved up about 500 in the last few weeks, which may have been expected with or without Omicron, due to the time of year, that England will not need to tighten restrictions further going into the new year.
It appears at this stage that the high vaccination rate in the UK as a whole is having an impact on the hospitals admissions not soaring. it's a shame that the low vaccination rate in London is having it's consequences though.
