Double jab only about 40% effective against Omicron, even less so if you had your jabs some time ago or AZ (hello old folks x2)

Unvaccinated is very different to not boosted. Unless it’s not and being double jabbed means nothing now?
Yes, they are different (which is why I said "said something similar" and not "said the same thing").

But it's still scaremongering.

But I have seen from 3 different sources all MSM that this is because 80% of the increase is patients going in for other procedures with no symptoms. The statistics need to show this information so that we can understand what the true figures are.

Yep, there's also the fact I was reading that over the Xmas period people were discharged from hospital later than they would ordinarily have been, so I guess this also impacts on the totals.

Thats not right, but Omicron is kind of new isnt it so I will be a bit more forgiving when people post bollocks about it.
I mean, I'd suggest that because it's new and infecting upwards of 150k+ people a day it might be wise to suggest to people who habitually "post bollocks" or as it's commonly known, lie, that it isn't really on.... Instead of green lighting it
Stop being hysterical. You seem happy to spout nonsense about my posts whilst completely ignoring the facts.

1. Despite numbers being high , as we were told they would be , they are not doubling every two days as we thought they would be.
2. It was the South African scientist who first diagnosed this who said that it was a mild variant with cold like symptoms.
3. As time has progressed , uk scientists and the government are in agreement.
4. Rather than increasing restrictions , many countries are reducing them , including South Africa .
5. Many countries , including us , have reduced isolation periods because symptoms are less serious.

I prefer to be positive about this. You prefer to be negative.

Then we're saying they have a right to infect and possibly kill other people, then, why stop there?

Drink drivers have the right to go out and possibly harm people because it's their right to live their lives how they want?
That’s just not true. I go out with a cold and I probably have with flu. I suspect I have been out whilst having covid. I can’t be sure because although I am 63 , I don’t know if I have had Covid. I am not staying indoors through fear of infecting someone who may die because of my actions. That’s just not how life works.Of course that’s not my intention. But it’s ridiculous to expect anyone to stay indoors because of the off chance that they may be responsible for someone’s death.
There'that UGLY personal responsibility bit again !!

Anecdotal comment from my sister in law, who is a cancer nurse at a major London hospital, is that the staff are catching Covid and going down like flies with up to 60% isolating. This is also translating into vulnerable patients catching Covid whilst receiving treatment probably due to inadequate PPE not able to contain Omicron. They have already lost one patient to Covid and now two others in ITU from her ward alone. She is now back at work after having Covid, initial LFT was negative although not ill she knew she had been exposed and guess what... PCR came back positive!

Among my peer-group around here it seems to have been pot luck which of the vaccines you got. I got pfizer and Mrs Spike got AZ. Among friends it was about a 50/50 split. I think it was just a case of which version was in stock at the time.

I am ! So's Mrs Spike. The peer group ranges from 50 - 75 and we couldn't see any pattern in who got which version. There didn't seem any rhyme or reason to it.

Mrs Gold got two Pfizers and the timing of them can be tracked to the onset of Myasthenia Gravis symptoms.

Seems it is a thing with flu and Hepititis vaccines too but the numbers are minuscule.

189k cases reported again, with hospitalisations up by 49 over the past 7 days%

Goes back to that point about how many of these are due to being admitted for something else and testing positive or catching it while in hospital.

FFS. If Covaids wasn't enough, we now have Flurona to deal with.

More scaremongering? I read it as someone having both at the same time. Will they merge a form a super variant? Don’t think they know yet

I have been in Spain since Boxing Day and there is a very relaxed feel about Omicron. They have had the benefit of other countries experiencing this variant first. The press coverage is more sensible and less panicked. You are supposed to wear masks in the street. I would say 50% do always , 50% where in close proximity to others. We are supposed to show vaccine passports to enter restaurants or bars . I haven’t been asked to show them anywhere. Nobody is adhering to that particular requirement. Spanish people I have spoken to don’t talk about Omicron. They have it in their head that it is nothing to worry about.
