Happy to read your source.
However, all the news stories I can find on Omicron all trace back to this one paper:
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...068v2.full.pdf
Where a study of 2.8m people previously infected found that 35,670 had been reinfected. A whopping 1.27%
There is no real data on whether Omicron can evade current vaccines, or the severity of illness

Excellent news for the Great Barringtons among us that “natural immunity” isn’t immunity at all. The evidence was also showing substantial waning of vaccine efficacy against Delta so that has inevitable consequences.

I don't know about "substantial" but isn't that why we're having boosters anyway?

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.

Once again your opposition to any restrictions is ideological and not grounded in any evidence whatsoever.

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.
