it is very clear, unvaccinated locked down due to Omicron ,are you being deliberately Obtuse ?

Fair enough. Not disputing it. Just not found it. Not looking in the right places

Sage calling for a lockdown and essentially saying that after Xmas is too late.

This really is where having a leader with no authority or integrity is so important. There’s no way Boris could do that now and people would take any notice. His frivolous and sloppy leadership will, once again, lead to more deaths.

But SAGE would of course be aware of all that so begs the questions why that it is being suggested and released to the press in this way. Questionable

They probably think the vast majority would tell Boris where to stick his restrictions if he said no visiting family at Christmas

Sage aren’t there to play politics. They don’t care what it means for Boris, they just have to suggest what they think the right thing is.
As for why and how it’s been leaked is slightly worrying

Well, yeah. But it’s not as straight forward as that. I’d assume you don’t really want public health recommendations ’leaked’, especially without context, during a stressful and worrying time. Granted it was probably leaked by someone wanting to hold the government to account because they are too scared to enforce another lockdown…

Cases pass 10,000, seems like a particularly bad version of the cold this year

Which we knew would happen. It’s the dominant variant. Deaths and hospitalisations are the trigger as you know. Seems as though that with an estimated 300,000 cases a day and only 50,000 additional reported cases , many are not experiencing symptoms severe enough to bother testing.

There’s a lot of people not testing because they don’t want to be isolated for Xmas or miss work, for sure.

So as of today , there were 65 hospitalisations in the UK because of Omicron. I haven’t been able to find a death as a result of Omicron. All scientists are still saying that the major symptoms are in order
1. Runny nose
2 . Headache
3 . Fatigue
4 . Aches.

All the symptoms of a cold , basically. I am not posting this to be smug and this is the current picture and not what may happen further down the line.

It will eventually turn into a cold as viruses from previous pandemics have done, but i don’t think it is at that stage yet

But George says there’s been nil, so I’m going with that.
