Do you know, I was about to type a reply saying leave the unvaccinated alone, they’re a small number etc etc da da da……
But, I’ve looked into it, and yes they are small, but they are still potentially 5.3M ( including those that can’t be vaccinated)
Considering COVID is at the very minimum 98.5 survivable, that is at least 80,000 that will go hospital and die, there are no figures on who will go in and survive.
At the height of the last peak it was around 38K in hospital.
So I appreciate the concern
Obviously time frame is a big variable, 80K over six or seven weeks, no problem. 80K over two weeks big problem.
All that said, it’s been two weeks since Omicron hit and no issues as yet. Our Welsh and Scottish friends need to remember their leaders actions when they ask for their vote.

Re: Coronavirus
No new restrictions in England are being announced by the PM today. Common sense prevails. Long may it last.

On the screen, not good for England.

The number of people in hospital with COVID-19 in England is at its highest level since March, new figures reveal.
The number stood at 8,474 as of 8am today, according to NHS England.
This is up 27% from a week earlier and is the highest number since 5 March, when the country was under tough lockdown restrictions.

People should be careful not to “over-interpret” data pointing to a rise in Covid-related hospital admissions, an NHS chief has warned.
Chris Hopson, chief executive of NHS Providers, which represents hospitals and other trusts in England, said that an increase in hospitalisations could be explained by people without Covid symptoms going into hospital for other reasons but testing positive during their stay

But the health secretary said people should "remain cautious" and celebrate outside on New Year's Eve if possible.

Well that would have been a lot easier if they hadnt cancelled all the outside events.

Re: Coronavirus
I got back from my local Sainsbury's, with food for a get together tomorrow.
But my sister has just me that my nephew tested positive and is isolating, so to protect my dad it's off and luckily the food can be put into the freezer.

Thanks for posting the positive news on that, Andrew. This is what I have been saying all along.
I predict the next big revelation will be that the more we test, the more cases we will pick up!

So why do you think that two years into the pandemic, record numbers are suddenly getting tested?

Re: Coronavirus
New rules requiring lots more testing, and of course, the obvious media driven fear factor.
