Should be fun when all the Ski C#nts pop over there in 3 weeks time.

No more plan B from next week. Mask wearing to end and covid passports not needed.

And people with covid no longer legally need to isolate..which seems mental

They are keeping that at least until March

I thought you would have realised by now. Omicron was no more threatening than a common cold. You can’t disrupt the country every time a mild variant like this appears.
However , I am assuming they also have good news information about Delta , or they are satisfied that enough of us have been vaccinated to remove the need for isolation

Or Johnson is trying to appease the backbenchers he may need to rely on to keep his job?

Whatever your view, non of the last 6 months has been 'based on the science'.

On that , I think we can agree

Still 100k infections a day, but hey remove those restrictions because Big Dog needs a boost in the polls.

I am sure that’s what’s going through everyone’s mind.

107k new cases. Has the drop in infections plateaued?

Think regional surges are keeping it high.

Probably only the intelligent ones.

Looking at those COVID figures throws up more interesting facts , and if I may say , even slightly humorous.
The average age COVID death through the pandemic was 82.5 years old. The average life expectancy in the Uk is lower than that. Turns out it would have been better to catch it ))

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/conf ... st-results
Confirmatory PCR tests to be temporarily suspended for positive lateral flow test results

Need those positive test numbers to go down? Just make it difficult for people to test.

Yup - that’ll do it!

Or are the large number being attributed to people actually having flu and or a common cold which the tests can’t separate or identify against? The narrative is failing that’s for sure.

Non symptomatic people shouldn’t be testing anyway, but sh*t loads are and many false positives are being thrown out there. Also a booster could show up as a positive test.

Well it is his speciality subject.

If you want a more accurate picture of what is going on in terms of infection check the ONS Infection Survey (https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulation ... usReleases). It's updated each week but lags a bit.

"Experts have warned" that the numbers on the govt site are becoming increasingly unreliable and some also believe daily coronavirus statistics should be phased out in the coming months, amid fears people are becoming "addicted" to the figures.
