Also,

"...Meanwhile, analysis by the UK Health Security Agency has showed a dramatic drop in effectiveness for the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine and a significant drop-off for two doses of Pfizer against Omicron.
But a third booster vaccine dose was analysed to prevent about 75% of people from getting any Covid symptoms. ..."

Covid: New restrictions in Wales likely within weeks

It comes as the first minister says Omicron could lead to "large numbers" of people in hospital.

If it ends up being Covid passes for pubs at least I can have a few jars in a Wetherspoons without some gimp on about 5G stinking of fags in my ear.

Yeah that's strange wording.

That's saying booster effective against covid symptoms are saying about omicron.

Aye the bell end population of pubs will be reduced

Could mean the end of pubs tbf ha ha

Looking at the data, the vaccines wanes over time in particular age groups. This was the time of the Govt's booster programme anyway,

They're just speeding up delivery.

If this is going to be enough, I don't think anyone knows until more data comes in.

End of bell ends in pubs more like.

Was at Stratford’s Christmas market this morning. Absolute bedlam, squeezing past people like HT at the Blues home away game in the FA cup.

This was at 11:00am and driving away the traffic to get into Stratford was backed up three miles. Lots of masks about but blimey, easy to see how it’s spreading so fast.

To know truly. Need to know how serious it is. How ill are people from that and any deaths

To be fair to the government this is the problem. That data isn't there at the moment and of course to get a decent amount of data to analyse they need a lot more people infected with the variant.

The time of the year isn't helping as they are clearly trying to avoid putting more restrictions in place over Xmas but they have to do something as the one thing that does seem pretty clear in the data is the variant is far more transmissible and infects people who have previously been infected or had two doses of vaccine. If they take the wait and see approach as they have done in the past by the time they have the data on hospitalisations and deaths if its turns out there is an issue it will be too late.

Of course the risk of going early is that they bring in restrictions that turn out to not be needed. My personal preference is that going early and then being able to relax restrictions is better than doing nothing and not acting until hospitalisations and deaths are already up.

So it’s at level 4 and an attack is imminent

So.

“Get boosted, boosted the boosted, make sure you get boosted, to protect boosted boosted, boosted”

“Boosted”

My mate and his wife have omicron , neither have any symptoms

I was waiting for it to properly drop after the 17th “Let’s get boosted”

 

[hill83]

Jabbed?

 

[Evo1883]

Jabbed?

1 jabbed 1 not , mind you , many people had no symptoms with the original varient

 

[hill83]

1 jabbed 1 not

Carnage isn’t it.
Hope they end up ok.

 

[hill83]

It’s the non symptoms that are the problem. If you’ve got flu you are in bed fucked. But you can be absolutely fine with this and pass it on to someone’s nan and they are dead in 2 weeks.

You do realise that people are getting tested over & over thus giving a high number of ‘cases’? You don’t like any opinion/fact that’s different from yours do you Mavis,I mean,David?

You do realise that reinfections aren't counted in the new cases figure

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I wonder where @fatso has disappeared to after embarrassing himself the other day. Seemed like his critical thinking needed a boost

 

[Liquid Gold]

No it isn’t

Puts me in a queue and then does this after a while

Shows how much you know reinfection dont count towards numbers if test are within 6 months.

 

[Kieranp96]

They're after 6 months have past.

Only if you want me to want it to be

 

[Nick]

Wasn't the booster designed and rolled out before omicron was even a thing?

 

[Nick]

Austria looking to fine unvaccinated and then prison apparently...

 

[hill83]

Yeah

 

[Nick]

Yeah

Just lucky that the cure made before and the other 2 do nothing.

Then as stuff comes out about the government everybody needs to get it.

People will rush to get it with no clue if this strain is even bad.
