The Germans regard the UK as a country of high risk. There are other countries on the same list such as France, Denmark and Norway.

It makes perfect sense for other countries to stop UK tourists travelling when our own politicians are talking in terms of a state of emergency and a tsunami of infections heading our way.

Same over there? Just stop all international travel until it’s done?

They sure do, we roll over and take it. Wish we were a bit more like them, maybe it’s the legacy of a successful revolution.

As someone who naturally tends to be on the side of what Sage is recommending and has been thinking we need to take more action in the face of Omicron, I do believe that the lines about South Africa’s younger population and a larger degree of immunity from previous infections put forward by British science doesn’t fully explain official figures like these from South Africa regarding omicron hospitalisations.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...ave-much-lower
I accept that it’s still relatively early to draw firm conclusions from South Africa and so I can understand a degree of caution on the British side, but if the trend is the same in South Africa this time next week, I’d say we will have to start taking more notice of what’s happening there - the trouble is a week’s an awful long time in the current situation.

Some reassurance for those of us who’ve had Moderna as their third jab.

It wasn't that poster who went under the handle "robjohns" or similar? I noticed some time ago he or she gave up on this board and seems to be a regular on the dark side. He or she is thought of as a hero there no doubt.

It was Rogersblue! He seemed very confident with all his youtube videos. Can't think what's happened to him

Yes it was him, the both of them were screwballs. Perhaps The Donald is looking after him at Mar a Lago.

Re: Coronavirus update - ALERT LEVEL ZERO
90,000 cases again today, I know Omicron is still patchy throughout the country, so it’s probably too simplistic to expect the new cases figure to be doubling every two or three days, but, although the figures are bad, they’re not as bad as I was expecting.

Re: Coronavirus update - ALERT LEVEL ZERO
I wonder if Omicron is nature's own answer to a natural vaccine as it does appear much milder than other variants , perhaps natural infection and herding may see us through, no evidence just a thought .

I think that a virus tends to mutate many times, getting weaker, eventually so weak it's imperceptible but extremely transmissible. In other words, it dies out as far as having any actual effect on people. It all depends if the Chinese modifications have skewed this phenomenon.

I've got 2 in my own household self-isolating now, including my wife - who is triple jabbed.

you say treble jabbed there swiss pete . do you mean 2 jabs with the booster ? if so that doesn't bode too well in tackling this new variant .no doubt we will see another variant next year too

On the basis we're seeing very quick transmissions and less death ( fingers crossed) suggest it is waining as there less weaker hosts to strengthen too ?

Yes, sorry, 2 jabs and the booster. Nearly all of the others I know are in their early 20s (my son and his mates) so many won't have had the booster yet. Hopefully the 2 jabs plus booster will reduce severity if not transmission (although hopefully both obviously....)

Re: Coronavirus update - ALERT LEVEL ZERO
Up above 100,000 new cases for the first time today (106,000 plus in fact).

Hopefully this is the way the variants go and it gets steadily weaker (no idea if that's how these things work mind)

The announcement brushed over implications for theatres etc. I’ve already had ice skating (castle) and WMC show cancelled. I hear the Panto is off too.

You can still get it, what I’m seeing a lot more is One adult in a house testing positive but the other not, even if both kids have it.
Good news about it being mild, not so much from a right now point of view but in the virus’s overall journey, a heavy cold or flu is what we want it to start to become like other coronavirus.

Went to see new Spider-Man movie with the kids today, usually it would be packed this time of year. Reckon there was 10 other people there…..
