I just think sometimes our government hasn't got a fcking clue....
To Quote:-
The Dominic Raab accused ITV of "ranting" as he was challenged over the confusion he sowed on the number of Omicron hospital admissions.
He told the presenter of ITV's Good Morning Britain, Adil Ray: "First of all, I misheard one of the questions around whether it was hospitalisations of Omicron-related patients or more generally, but the figures are: one death from Omicron, 10 in hospital, and I can tell you the latest daily hospitalisations run at 900."
Speaking to Sky News earlier, Mr Raab said that if the rate of transmission continues, "we will see those numbers increase very dramatically".
"A proportion of those hospitalised will possibly die or have a very serious suffering" due to Omicron, he warned.
But he said there was currently "no plan" for more restrictions beyond Plan B.
Meanwhile:
Health Secretary Sajid Javid told MPs that the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) estimates that the current number of daily infections are around 200,000.
The UKHSA confirmed that data was referring to the number of people estimated to be newly infected with Omicron today.
It will raise new questions about whether Boris Johnson will have to announce further restrictions, after he refused three times to rule out doing so before Christmas.
So there you have it.....
Frankly as i see it, if 200,000 are getting Omicron a day, that's 200,000 PCR Test confirmations of same, as we are one of only seven authorised to provide the tests the volumes at Novacyt must be absolutely flying...
Why the share price here isn't absolutely booming is beyond me, oh that's right i forget, it gets shorted and manipulated to death, but even allowing for the manipulation we should be climbing materially higher.
The outlook for covid is currently dire imo, i would not be surprised in the slightest if we are back in another lock down in the new year.
Stay safe everyone...
