How comes we’re in this position?
Because by the time we were alerted to this variant, it was already here and well established.
Perhaps now is the time to review our viral security. It’s all well and good having a nuclear arsenal , but pointless if we can’t stop a foreign country introducing a deadly virus.
Presumably we were alerted at the same time as everyone else?

So. Why are we the world leaders in omicron?
He is talking poo poo again , on 2/12/2021 Germany locked down the unvaccinated . That is how good government works.

A man, giving his name only as John, made the claim after phoning in to Nick Ferrari’s radio show on LBC
Is this the same bloke who got stuck on the M25 while his old mum waa having a stroke?
Dunno. There might just be two John's who are LBC fans.

I am all for the vaccine and have had all 3 jabs, but I can’t agree with forcing people to have it. My Grandparents fought against that sort of thing.

But if those who can’t protect themselves have the vaccine, are they not protected to a fair degree.

The fact that anyone thinks they have a right to have any sort of opinion on other peoples medical choices is laughable. Unfortunately, that entitlement is where we are at. The world of yes or no, black or white, 1 or 0…vaccinated or not vaccinated with no nuance allowed.

I don’t disagree with that. My issue is with those who either deny Covid (won’t vax or mask) or who won’t vax for personal reasons (too numerous possibilities here) feeling that they should be allowed to mix with the rest of us who are taking precautions.

Their beliefs should not endanger others. However, that concept is lost on most of the thicko’s who drone on about their “rights”.

Tuffers. I think it is you that is incorrect. Europe , at that time , had began to lockdown because of Delta. They haven’t started with this new one yet

I can see they have announced a lockdown for the unvaccinated but can’t see if that was to tackle their delta problems or Omicron. Either way they didn’t act any quicker than us

My double jabbed brother has Covid for the second time in 3 months 🤦🏻😔

The smug anti-vaxxers who justify rejection on the grounds of already having Covid are in for a shock

When getting my booster last week, the nurse was telling me about the guy who was on the door welcoming in the folk (they're using an empty store that used to be Marks and Spencers). She was telling me that he'd just the day before taken a boot in the balls from one of the anti-vaxx crowd who've taken to protesting outside (they seem to be fellow travellers to the wing-nut pro-lifers in America protesting outside abortion clinics).

fannies the lot of them.

I don't have any tattoos, but I might be tempted to get Prof. Chris' lovely round head as my first. He's great.
