The Member of Senedd for Blaenau Gwent shared a news story about the introduction of tougher restrictions on the unvaccinated in Italy and said he would like to see similar measures in Wales.
He told his more than 11,000 Twitter followers: “I hope that the Welsh Govt will use our covid passes in this way to reduce regulations when the time is right for everyone who is fully vaccinated.”
The headline of the news story he shared read: “Unvaccinated people banned from public transport, coffee shops and gyms in Italy.”
Will he backing Ikeas decision to cut sick pay for unvaccinated staff who need to self-isolate because of Covid and in some cases for workers who test positive.
Should he even still be in Government ?

STOCKHOLM, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Sweden hit a new daily record for COVID-19 cases on Thursday, with figures likely to continue to increase rapidly over the next couple of weeks before peaking at the end of January, the country's health agency said on Thursday.
The number of new cases hit 25,215 on Thursday amid a surge in the Omicron variant and the Public Health Agency warned that figure could more than double by the end of the month in a worst-case scenario.
Sweden recently tightened its restrictions and has urged people to work from home in an effort to minimise the spread of the virus.
State epidemiologist Anders Tegnell said Sweden was experiencing the same rapid increase in infections as many other countries.
"These increases are probably going to continue for a while yet. That means that we already... have a high level of pressure on the health and welfare system," he told a news conference.

Re: Coronavirus update - LIVING IN OMICRON TIMES
Before any discussions deciding whether one approach was right and one wasn't, you have to define what getting it right actually means.

I would define 'getting it right' in this instance as a government introducing measures and/or restrictions that are proportionate to the problem.
I didn't believe for one second that the Welsh government were doing that in December and I don't believe they are doing that now. It's an absolute farce that City are playing Blackburn in the Championship tomorrow afternoon behind closed doors, while Newport are facing Harrogate in League Two in an empty stadium and Chester have been forced to postpone their National League North game against Brackley Town. Total and utter nonsense. Meanwhile, football and rugby matches will be played without any restrictions throughout the rest of the UK.
If Drakeford and his cronies had anything about them, they would have admitted early in the week that they overreacted to the alleged Omicron 'tsunami' (which was later downgrade to a storm) and relaxed all of their ridiculous restrictions without any further delay. But, of course, they were never going to make such an admission, and instead they're going to drag this nonsense out for another couple of weeks.

A lack of beds in Welsh hospitals meant it was "inevitable" Covid patients would come into contact with others, a doctor has said.

Macron apparently refused to take a Russian PCR test to avoid the Ruskies getting a sample of his DNA - hence the 4 metre table treatment! I hope he remembered to use hand sanitiser to clean the table and the chair arms before he left then.

I don’t think they will , although you may see “footage” of them doing so.
They have apparently a million troops in their own country which they are entitled to do as a show of strength, but I wouldn’t have thought they will invade as it would be disastrous for them -
Has anybody seen any actual footage of their troop buildup as it’s been fairly low key ?

Re: Coronavirus update - LIVING IN OMICRON TIMES
I thought reverse-transcription wasn't supposed to happen?
"Preclinical studies of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine BNT162b2, developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, showed reversible hepatic effects in animals that received the BNT162b2 injection. Furthermore, a recent study showed that SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be reverse-transcribed and integrated into the genome of human cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of BNT162b2 on the human liver cell line Huh7 in vitro. Huh7 cells were exposed to BNT162b2, and quantitative PCR was performed on RNA extracted from the cells."

I popped into Waitrose this morning - a bastion of mask wearing.
Last week it was probably 75% with masks, today maybe 30%.

Re: Coronavirus update - IS THE END IN SIGHT?
All about Russia Ukraine now.
It's obviously a huge issue but the way the media reporting is sensationalist and entertainment driven seems to be getting worse.
I don't watch much news these days but when it has come on I haven't heard much of anything apart from Ukraine, the storm the week before, covid for 2 years before that. The latter now almost seemingly doesn't exist.

From Wales Online this morning - New face mask rules for Wales as coverings are no longer needed in all indoor settings https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/p...-wear-23225702
'It means you no longer need to wear a face covering in cinemas, theatres, community centres, museums and gyms but face coverings will continue to be a legal requirement for adults and children aged 11 and over, unless exempt, in all retail settings, on public transport and in health and care settings.'
Mask lovers, those hardcore Drakeford kneelers, will be outraged.

Wait till the War calms down probably November, we'll have a Zulu variant and it will be the most transmissible, virulent virus ever.
