alistair No idea, but I expect it will have an affect on how London rides this latest wave

    Time to dust off the Livestream gear….if there are 100K+ cases a day I cant see pubs/clubs staying open for long, plus the footy is gonna go down the pan over the next week I reckon. Had my booster yesterday. Thats and a Purdeys each day and im feeling strong!

    2 years this has been going on….. I get the feeling evolution/nature is trying to tell us something. Not quite sure what, but something……

      Are they just going to ignore what’s happening in SA or what.

      Along_the_Wire starvation and mass migration due to our insatiable colonialist appetites and climate change. Props to comrade Funky for drawing attention to this.

        Along_the_Wire Well according to health secretary in SA, there isn’t many going into hospital and they only have a 25% vaccine rate. Looking also at what Jules has shared its looking positive hopefully but highly transmitable.

          Funky nothing changed in the announcements, so maybe they are paying attention to what’s going on in SA?

          Along_the_Wire we literally stripped your team of its disgusting racist name. So yes, they are all sorted.

          I’ve never been to South Africa.

          AND I CERTAINLY WON’T BE GOING ANY TIME SOON.

          Jules72 78k cases in the U.K. today… looking rather perky…

          So you’ll soon find out if indeed Omicron is much milder, which the early indications still point towards.

            hugopal I saw an early study out of South Africa yesterday suggesting illness severity might be reduced by ~ 30%, which is good. The seemingly much faster transmission will swallow that advantage pretty quickly though.

            Purely anecdotal but the people I know at work that have tested positive in the last week to ten days have barely broken stride. Certainly wasn’t the case with Delta.
