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.

Re: Drakefords announcement Friday
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

Re: Drakefords announcement Friday
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.

Table service in pubs will make **** all difference. It's just "something must be done" politics.

This is not a criticism of you in any way, but it amazes me how quickly phrases like 'the rule of six' have become standard jargon. It's horseshit. But then the whole shebang is a load of horseshit.

I just literally copied it off my phone so the wording is not mine,hence,no offence taken.

It's utter bollocks and not actually based on much at all.

Agree.
Actually, I think it's probably fair to say it would make a small difference, but counteracted by it making a much bigger negative difference to hospitality.
Also, what difference to covid it does make probably more than lost by an increase in people just socialising in homes.

Its not just as simple as those at high risk start shielding. People will need hospital treatment anyway.
If the virus has a significant impact on NHS staff with a service already under pressure then there are going to be major issues. There will be an increase in Covid patients inevitable and that will be coupled with NHS staff being off sick or/and isolating with covid.
I really dont know what the answer is. I dont think telling people to work from home but go ahead and have your Christmas works gathering is anything other than bonkers though.

Re: Drakefords announcement Friday
Lets hope he is basing his information of real data 32 cases of the new variant is worrying ??
Without Westminster Furlough money he will have to be careful.
Pity he hasn't arranged walk up booster sites the variant effects without booster has been known for a while ?
Spotted this : ""professor in health said there was a 1000 people in Wales with covid in hospital wrong it now transpires there are 567 people the professors answer was typical I misread the figures, and these are the people who are supposed to be intelligent just all fear and the doctor in South Africa who discovered omicron has said Boris and Co are causing hysteria this is to control the population and to get the third jab into you ""
Lets see what Boris says tonight

But opening and closing on a whim is also not the answer
From a selfish view, I'm of the view mask and sanitise and lift all other restrictions - There will be some poor souls that will die but the alternative is there's going to be generations of kids with no prospects and messed up mental health, while hospitality crumbles.

Re: Drakefords announcement Friday
Shouldn’t passports/tests to enter premises come in before a blanket closure?

As I said I dont know what the answer is.
The mixed messages though. Boris you should work from home. Question to Boris should we cancel the works Christmas do. No go ahead. How does that make any sense.?
I really dont want another lockdown. If tougher restrictions now mean we arent locked down again after XMas for months then so be it.
