Told by who mate? Not digging you out, just wondering how likely this is to be true

More importantly, how are you after your recent experience, Sneggy? OK, I hope.

This rumour is circulating a lot. Ive seen a couple of messages with the same.

Last Friday I was out in 2 pubs. Landlords in both were hearing rumours of even a complete shutdown after close this Friday.

I think its very likely there will be further restrictions so it wouldnt suprise me if this turns out to be true. The op that is but not complete closure.

What is the point? Everyone is going to catch Covid in the next few weeks. You just have to hope that you don't need hospital treatment at the beginning of January.

Teachers in Wales have been emailed to 'prepare for remote learning' in the New Term year. When you consider Drakeford would consult with others on this, along with their secretaries, No 2's, then their close family, friends, you have probably a couple of hundred in the loop so to speak. No way would that stay secret for very long.

Agreed.

I don't really understand the bashers' logic. Clearly if Drakeford institutes more safety measures it will make him unpopular. So, what would be his motivation? Apart from an abundance of care for public health in a global pandemic. He's doing the correct thing; listening to the science and acting promptly.

Nurse just visited mum to give her booster jab

She hasn't heard anything

Said most likely thing to happen was a tightening up of some restrictions and no entry etc to those not jabbed to bring us into line with Europe.

If the tory government are having parties then the rest of the country is hardly likely to agree to restrictions

How's it going to be policed ?

If I was running the country I would try and implement a lockdown even if I knew it was going to be ignored by some .

Of course he is but it won't be listened to by all

Yep, all sounds fairly sensible based on how this variant seems to be ripping through countries for fun

What's the R rate for rumours doing the rounds these days?
Are they doubling every 2 or 3 days just like Omicron?

Wouldn't surprise me at all if more restrictions were brought in, but now that we're 2 weeks into this new wave, there should be more data on hospitalisations and deaths, but we're not seeing anything yet.

The new variant seems to be so infectious that those sort of restrictions will barely affect the number of cases this time. The vast majority of people are going to be fine, but anyone who is high risk should probably start shielding ASAP.

Schools staying open I heard, damage done to kids being home is pretty scary.

Derby fans won't be happy
They have already booked their husky sevice.
