There’s a busker playing Kurdish hits from the 90s on a ragged guitar in between stops. Thats about the best of it.

    Well we’ll address that if it happens. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best, but I’m not going to going to concern myself with hypotheticals that exist outside the bounds of what we know. The virus has caused problems with the same demographics irrespective of variant. The stories of young person X or other person Y make headlines but they’re outliers.

      Outliers are where the juice is at JohnTyeahyeah.

      I knows it, you knows it.

      Even Edward Shitterbantz knows it.

      He just doesn’t know he knows it yet.

        3 hours ago you posted that, lt, and not one cunt has asked how you developed a knowledge of 1990s kurdish top of the pops classics!

        Along_the_Wire this was always the problem with no restrictions.. the inconsistency in the government’s strategy vs its reaction function - that eventually they have to capitulate…if you manage/slow the spike, you don’t need to deprive people of stuff like pubs.

        LT42 The Omicron is basically The Dutchy of COVID variants in that kids are 20% more at risk when it’s around.

        NONCE.

        LT42 in South Africa the greater number of cases in kids was due to kids coming in for other illnesses and being tested anyway… so called incidental cases - they didn’t turn up at hospital due to covid symptoms. So, at least in South Africa, this was nothing but a scare story. There was a story going around about one kid dying, but it turned out he/she had serious comorbidities

          A surgeon friend tells me his trust has 10-15% of staff off sick at mom (mostly Omicrom)… and that the issue for the NHS right now is not beds but staff numbers. So you could see the government imposing measures just to get us through the next month regardless of how quickly bed fills up

          That’s what worries me too, half the country on sick leave at the same time.

          Getting boosted on January 25th. Quite a long ways to go to dodge this shit still.

          Jules72 you’re focusing too much on SA, Jules. There are many reasons why it will be different to other countries in terms of demographics, Govt policies in relation to the pandemic and public participation. Especially compared to the UK.

            I’m planning on drinking my way through Omicron.

            Cheers (literally)
