Not good news!

Old-Dutch read the article on the bbc website - a lot more positive…. fact is omicron is mild and the results of the study still indicate at least partial vaccine effectiveness… the more I hear the more optimistic I get that omicron is actually a positive development

Jules72 the more I hear the more optimistic I get that omicron is actually a positive development

How so? In the ’it could have been a massive shitshow, but doesn’t look now like it will be’ kinda way? Or actually and specifically a positive development?

Homegrove

If it’s mild and takes the place of Delta it’s the way out of the pandemic. IE actually just a flu.

Jules72

Homegrove exactly.. at least until there’s a new deadly variant

Homegrove

Denmark says they’ve got Omicron now everywhere.

Along_the_Wire

Jules72 That’s not how viruses work, they evolve to become less deadly over time.

Jules72

Along_the_Wire yeah that’s probably right … would be hard for a variant to become dominant if it killed or incapacitated its host

Mad_Cyril

Along_the_Wire Ebola is still tops off, just doesn’t get out so much any more!

Old-Dutch

Let’s hope so. Would be great if this is the start of the end

Jules72

So they’re just about to reintroduce WFH and implement vaccine passports… the Daily Telegraph even mentioning the word “lockdown” as being in the Arsenal…

@alistair and you see… this is what my “bed-wetting” has always been about - the potential for your muppet government to take too much risk, ending in lockdown

Smallman1

Jules72 implement vaccine passports

Excellent.

alistair

Jules72 Take too much risk? They are overreacting. You’d be taking on far more risk going to the covid sewer that is Rio.

Jules72

Smallman1 yep no issue with that at all

Jules72

alistair overreacting now correct…. Taking too much risk previously
