This is the best bit. Not just any doctor, but the "doctor in charge".

Boris the bottler will wait until after Xmas now. He's poo scared of his backbenchers.

Heh - more Thor bullshit I see. Still waiting for him to tell me which golf course he fronted someone on last year.

Were sporting events still behind closed doors when we were last at Step 2?

Was obviously going to happen on the 27th. He literally doesn’t have the authority to tell anyone what they can and can’t do over xmas

I asked is it because of covid?

Let's hope it stays that way, but we are not struggling to cope.

I'm quite hopeful that this is the tail end of covid, not because of what the doctor said today, but due to the natural evolution of a virus as it burns itself out.

The Ambulance service in London is running as normal even though Khan has called a state of emergency. Before anyone says ‘prove it’, it is on BBC website

100 Ambulances off the road for two days, is that normal?

My mum passed out, fell and broke her hip last week and was on the floor in agony for 8 hours until they could send an ambulance. If that's normal service then I'm appalled.

So who do we believe? The Observer or the BBC. I have no idea myself

Sadly that has happened for years. My Mum had a bad fall in 2014 and had a long wait for an ambulance.

A lot of ambulances get stuck waiting to admit their patients into A&E.

Posted: **Mon Dec 20, 2021 4:18 pm**

People treat A&E like a walk-in GP given they can't get appointments when they want

Your starter for 10 is don't believe anything Thor, George or Jack write.

91743 new cases.

Thought we'd be into six figures by now

Reporting time lag on a Monday innit.

If we're not at 100k tomorrow then at least that's something.

No new restrictions yet

Boris says "cases of Omicron are "surging and hospitalisations are rising quite steeply in London"."

Anyone got the numbers?

Posted: **Mon Dec 20, 2021 6:23 pm**

I guess this shows it going up relatively steeply but assume they have more data and the next few days will show us.

The daily hospitalisations have doubled in a month.

That is some bloody cold.

Posted: **Mon Dec 20, 2021 8:11 pm**

Bit confused because Thor said things were fine in the London hospital he visited

Posted: **Mon Dec 20, 2021 10:15 pm**

Year on year we appear to be better off (not really the right phrase) but the sharp spike we saw in jan this year could reoccur. Or it might not.
