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.
Spending too much time on Facebook me thinks.Quote:

No way would that stay secret for very long.Quote:

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 allQuote:

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.Quote:

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

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.Quote:

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.
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 answerQuote:

Shouldn’t passports/tests to enter premises come in before a blanket closure?
you would think so for sensible politicians , 32 cases of new variant is a worry thoughQuote:

I really dont want another lockdown. If tougher restrictions now mean we arent locked down again after XMas for months then so be it.
