hugopal “ Nope - the point is that despite your sometime scepticism on Omicron, your automatic response when another lockdown was being contemplated again was not to pushback on it and point out as I had that it was completely absurd that they were even being contemplated at all to begin with. ”
No… I was unsure whether a lockdown was required. That tiny brain of yours doesn’t seem to understand that the NHS is short of perhaps 15% of its staff and that there is a chance bed occupancy reaches 100%, particularly in London over the next 1-2 weeks, and then no one gets the health care they need from that point on.
In view of that, If freedoms are to be retained for some hospitality and withdrawn for others, 95% of people would choose clubs to be closed and (say) restaurants to be left open. Clubs and mass gatherings spread the virus rapidly, so if there are to be any restrictions, it makes sense for those to be shut down…. It’s not rocket science. 🤦♂️
Also get into your thick skull that this omicron spike will be short and sharp… any closures would be 2-3 weeks to get the NHS through the very short term.
