In the small amount of time since discovery 1.27% is quite a lot considering exponential growth.

There is no real data on whether Omicron can evade current vaccines, or the severity of illness
There’s enough for everyone to hit the panic button.

I don't know about "substantial" but isn't that why we're having boosters anyway?
So you accept vaccines are waning and your simplistic “how many people have antibodies” statistic is absolutely irrelevant.

Oh. well I spent a lovely week in Bridgnorth last week, and I've been to the pub for a steak dinner pretty much every week for several months, so I've been doing my bit for the hoteliers and landlords.

And things are going so well in Australia, New Zealand and Europe. Yes, restrictions are the answer................

There's a few that should take a mental competency test.
Ironic for the thread sociopath to question the mental competency of anyone.

So pray, tell Pierre at what threshold for hospitalisations and deaths would you bring in restrictions?

Because ultimately if you have no threshold participating in an evidence based discussion with you is pointless.
