I think that's his vain attempt at a Churchill moment, Churchill the dog.

I assume level 4 means we're gonna need more benylin for this 'mild' disease.

For those asking where's the hospitalizations, here's your answer.

BBC News - Covid: First people in UK hospitals with Omicron variant
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59627188

The tldr is, double AZ worthless against neutralizing omicron in terms of infection so get your booster.

Highest number of cases since January 9th @ 58k

I imagine their legal representation will be referring the DHSC to pressdram vs arkel 1973.

It's disgusting that the DHSC even countenance the thought that they can request the money. The press really need to pursue this sh@t.

The delay to our LFT is because of UKHSA and their **** poor accreditation process. The same process which is holding up everyone else.

No we wouldn't buy them.

Perhaps Plan B played at the Xmas party.

This government and it's U turns, ffs how is this imbecile and his clown show still in charge?

Considering PCR requirement for all arrivals from outside of EU.

No doubting its transmissibility now imo, we only ever sequenced 1100 cases of beta in the UK which couldn't compete with Delta. This is a different beast.

Not usual for the daily heil to push the fear narrative but here we are. Tomorrow they'll be back to whinging about travel testing.

So, a complete reversal of travel measures after a month. I wonder if the LFT has to be professionally administered otherwise what's the point.

I imagine omicron will assert itself a lot quicker than 6 months. The Norway party has now been upgraded from between 50-60 to 80-90 individuals positive after 1 event, astounding transmissibility on a par with measles but airborne.

What possible motive could Bloomberg have for pushing the positive narrative ;-)

Early day but this should concern people if it's disproportionately affecting a younger demographic. Early days though.

PCR requirements for the foreseeable are going to increase by factors due to omicron. You just have to read the restrictions being imposed.

Preprint from the people in south Africa suggests omicron effective at getting around immunity due to prior infection.

Moniman, the main form of compulsion will be if you want to travel. Fully vaxxed will be 3 dosed. Depends how much you like your foreign holibobs.

54k, highest since 17th July.

All visitors now have to test within 24hrs of arrival after 50 test positive after 1 party.
