Obviously, when you include children (who are almost un affected by this), then the % drops a little. 12-15 year olds being offered the vaccine is relatively recent

Just in case Omicron does not have the desired effect... https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/1534321/covid-new-variant-found-france-marseille-hospital-forcalquier-ihu-b16402-omicron

Same for any illness. Like the flu or other similar, fairly mild issues. Should we lockdown / impose restrictions at football every winter (where the NHS has needed saving for the last 20 years during these months)? Over 90% have had 2 vaccines Over 90% have anti-bodies to offer natural protection, like against death (hence why the numbers are so low) I wonder how the "numbers" will compare over the next 3 months to a normal winter with loads of flu. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/articles/coronaviruscovid19latestinsights/vaccines

But vaccines have never claimed to stop you getting it. Deaths are still around 150 - which is minute

I thought we were going for herd Immunity with vaccinations? We reached that months ago. Now, we need to protect against something that has effects of a runny nose and a headache.

💔

They are losing their minds in Scotland. 10 day isolation if you come in contact with a positive case, even if you have been double jabbed (with the booster) - apparently

And it begins...

Welcome to the world, baby Allegra.

Plan B to save Xmas Firebreak to save February Project Re-start to save Easter Booster #4 to save the summer Rinse and repeat

When was xmas effectively ruined for many last year? 18 Dec wasn't it? What are the chances that similar 'threats' are leaked around 13th Dec, suggesting not enough people have taken the 'booster'

We need to live with this. Such a minute number of people are dying WITH covid. Keep pushing the vaccine, keep encouraging everyone to be careful, but ultimately let people get on with their lives. At some point, we will have to live with this. Listen to the PM now. Nothing is about the vaccines, it is about the 'Booster'. Double-jabs did a job against Delta, now it is all about the Booster. In the meantime, Alex Baldwin has killed more people than Omicron. You would have thought so given the restrictions imposed again today.

basically, these restrictions will stay in place until "enough" people get the booster (which booster, that is unknown, what number is enough is unknown)

I wonder who from Fleet Street or the BBC - usually those who are very vocal for restrictions - were enjoying themselves at No.10 that night (or another night when they shouldn't)

6pm Press Conference "we must defeat this virus, and we will do it by......."

More restrictions a real possibility. For a variant that is mild, not stopping up hospitals, let alone killing anyone. Madness.

Thing is, the masses want to be locked down, muzzled, restricted (delete as required). The Govt can do what they like

1 month according to Adam Blackmore

It would be our luck if Caballero was either injured or sent off during this game!

well, there you go. Correct decision

do Ref's ever stick with their decision when they go to the screen? That was a goal in my view

Still crap
