Not anymore ☹️ Gonna postpone it to next year to be on the safe side… Neither of us can afford to get stuck in quarantine for any length of time should travelling conditions change in the next week.

We WERE gonna be heading to Muotka for a few days. Originally planned for this last last year!

This Omicron variant sounds like a
Transformer character.

More shit coming to our shores…

For balance of argument, people are suggesting that it’s been detected in South Aftica because they have world leading viral detection facilities needed for the prevalence of HIV and other viruses which doesn’t necessarily mean it originated there. (And if that’s true, it’s probably everywhere already)

Along_the_Wire

To be fair, it’s probably what I’ve had. Minerals this end you see.

Wally

Along_the_Wire Tough on movie reviews, tough on viral infections 👍🏻

One of my students had a positive PCR on Friday evening. I just did a negative antigen test. I’m getting sick of all this drama to be honest. When does the hysteria wane? this shit isnt going anywhere.

Tempted to cancel the family holiday over Christmas but am locked in with it being this close, unless the Spanish or UK government make it impossible to fly between now and Christmas.

Along_the_Wire

Sit tight Al

alistair

Along_the_Wire yup 👍 I suspect this is mainly a precautionary step by governments and it won’t end up being vaccine resistant

Along_the_Wire

Ii hope for DF’s sake that scientists around the globe are working their socks off to tweak Ivermectin given the new variant and shit.

Mind you, with Rangers 2-0 up away at Livi, he won’t give a fuck!

Are all the champagne socialists on here out foreign for Christmas yeah?

alistair

LT42 anything to avoid the in laws!

The doctor that discovered the new variant was on Marr saying that the cases in South Africa have been “extremely mild”. I’d rather take my cue from her than broadcast news journalists like Peston that get off on spreading panic.

The Times leads with Christmas Plans Thrown Into Doubt with a ton of hyperbole and a lead pic of Boris looking lost with hand on his head yesterday - I fucking hate the cunt, but he was nothing but confident and completely composed yesterday.

The next article is from an Oxford virologist that says he’s confident that the vaccines will work.
