I think January 5th is the 1st day back for most after the holidays, perhaps 4th. No way will they impose a lockdown before Christmas because most people won't comply, and hospitality will be wrecked. After Christmas the morons will assume everyone has had as much travel, booze and food as they can take, so will be more compliant. Also the morons can take credit for 'allowing' Christmas.

Hoping that Omicron is the beginning of the end of Covid (As a big issue anyway).
Very transmisable and so far very mild.

Me too. It is the natural end-game for a virus really. A mild one coming in to dominate might actually be good news overall.

I have to admit, there does seem to have been a rapid escalation in the last week or so. Where there might have been people getting isolated incidents, whole groups suddenly seem to be taken out. In our work, all of a sudden I'm having 3-5 colleagues a day testing positive (despite the last-minute cancellation of any Christmas parties etc). A mate of mine has said the same thing - an entire department of 7 people all tested positive on the same day. Projects are getting put on hold all over the place because people are out with it - I've personally not seen it have this effect before.

I myself currently have it (classic version it seems, rather than variant). Had I contracted it 6 months ago I'd be at a loss to guess where it came from as nobody I knew was contracting it. Whereas now, I am at a loss to guess where it came from as it could be from multiple sources.

Lockdown restrictions extended in Holland

Re: Coronavirus update - ALERT LEVEL ZERO

The problem of something being very transmissible while being “mild” is even if it’s 10 times as mild but 100 times as transmissible we still end up in the same situation.

Get your booster and stay safe everyone. Hopefully this is the first sign of it becoming endemic but I feel like we’ve a rough few weeks ahead.

The roll out of boosters to vulnerable and old people seems to have gone well at least and should hopefully help a lot. I’m surprised it hasn’t been open in Wales yet to younger people. I’m early 30s and got mine today.

The head of The company which makes the Moderna vaccine told a Committee of MPs yesterday that he’s dubious currently about claims that Omicron is a milder version of Covid, although he did say he expected good news regarding the use of the Moderna vaccine as a booster to be announced soon.

I hope so I had moderna yesterday, currently awake because I’m ****ing boiling which I assume is a side effect of it.

Data from South Africa does look promising but that’s ignoring their high level of natural immunity, they got smashed by delta.

We need to keep an eye on Denmark really.

As I said even if it is milder it isn’t a massive positive if 10 times the number of people start getting infected. The only “positive” I suppose is it would be a very short wave as it would burn through loads of the population in a matter of weeks.

I wouldn’t want to be unvaccinated right about now!

Re: Coronavirus update - ALERT LEVEL ZERO

I guess how badly it affects the un vaccinated lot will be the main thing, as they appear to be clogging up the hospitals already, hopefully the most vulnerable have all had a booster (over 50) by now. Got mine tomorrow.

Does have the Delta variant before have any bearing on this one though? I thought it didn’t? ie no immunity from it with previous antibodies…..
