Re: Coronavirus
If omicron turns out to be a major disaster heading our way, inactivity by those in charge would be attacked as vehemently as the return of a few rules to try to limit the possible danger.
Just waiting for the science to determine omicron's effects are going to be negligible or significant is just not thinkable.
---------- Post added at 20:23 ---------- Previous post was at 20:16 ----------
An estimated 92.8% of the adult population in England, 91.4% in Wales, 93.3% in Northern Ireland and 92.5% in Scotland tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies in the week beginning 1 November 2021.
Across the four UK countries, 93.1% to 95.8% of adults had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and 83.5% to 89.8% of adults had received at least two doses.

Oh, and Chris and several others have questioned it, and that’s fine. Also it’s not really a conspiracy theory anymore is it?

It's sensible risk management with no downside apart from offending a small, vocal minority.

i don't believe he nearly died i think he got a bit out of breath and sweaty and used it to his advantage, I've come to realize every thing about bojo is a lie.

I stated an opinion as a possibility, PS stated an opinion as a fact - strange you didn’t ask him for his data.
My proposition was based on the scientific evidence that immunisations and masks reduce infection and transmission, his is based on ???
Re the Wuhan lab-leak theory - the article from May (and others like it) states it’s considered as an possibility, and shouldn’t be ruled out until evidence shows otherwise, not, as you have stated, the only option; that’s the difference between looking for facts and a conspiracy theory.
Hope this helps?

Better late than never, but he does have a track record of being sacked for telling porky pies so can't be a surprise.
I predict another sacking within the year from his own party.

Re: Coronavirus
An anagram of Omicrom B is, wait for it, NO CRIMBO!
This revelation is terrifying!
Of course, for this anagram to work, you have to add a B to Omicrom which nobody naming the variant actually did but that's just to put us, the little people, off the scent!
WAKE UP, SHEEPLE! DON'T LAP IT UP AND OBEY!

An actual anagram of Omicron is moronic

Re: Coronavirus
Come on folks. At the moment there is a new threat from a variant of a virus that will get here and will spread and there are some currently mild suggestions to try to slow spread down until we get a better picture. If nothing was done and it proves to be more transmissible and more "deadly" then the government would be in trouble. If they shut everything down again they would be in trouble. Tentative evidence suggests it is transmissible, it may evade vaccine immunity but may not cause extreme acute symptoms but until that is known it's better to do something than nothing.

Until we know more about the virus then it seems a proportionate response to me. No piece of Covid-19 law is perfect but this should not be a reason for adopting a light-touch approach.

Re: Coronavirus
