    very strange having a stranger sat next to me, Ive been to see films in the summer but they were leaving a spare seat between bookings, but filling the rows ( so someone sat directly behind you )

    I guess if someone had covid , a fair few more have caught it now, but everyone knew the risks of going
    Saw it last week with the kids, can’t have been 15 other people in there which seemed really weird……

    You’d have thought that with the UK Government pursuing a policy at odds with the devolved nations and much of mainland Europe that there would be adequate supplies of the testing apparatus given the onus being put on self testing, but it appears not

    Meanwhile, Johnson’s response to the simple question where have you been for the last ten days Prime Minister hardly inspires confidence.

    Whether by design or more than likely default letting Omicron rip through the population looks like Johnson getting his wish for ‘herd immunity’ to save the day? I expect him to claim this masterstroke within the coming months if it all goes right.

    ‘Boris saves the day’ whilst The Sun dress him up as a photo fit of Churchill.

    We have been trying to get hold of LFT kits from pharmacies in Sheffield and north Derbyshire every day since the Johnson Plan B announcement - and haven't found one yet. Must have tried over 20 pharmacies, some many times. I know some friends and neighbours who have got hold of them through schools where they work, but even there they are in very short supply. The planning and co-ordination for this (NHS and home test suppliers found out after the press) has been typically useless.

    Small amounts of Nightingales being set up again in areas around london where the cases are huge. Sounds like they’re being cautious in case the hospitals get overrun and better to be safe than sorry but just get the feeling we’ve got a few more months of restrictions - to Easter at least.

    Dunno about doubling in two or three days, the Welsh figures have quadrupled in one day according to this, but there is a footnote saying that there have been issues collating the data in recent days.

    Lateral flow tests to “constrained” over the next two weeks, whatever that means.

    The self isolation period for people in Wales who have Covid will be cut from 10 days to seven.

    It only applies to people who have two negative lateral flow tests on days six and seven of their isolation.

    The change comes into effect from New Year's Eve rather than 5 January, as was first planned.

    First Minister Mark Drakeford said it was based on "the balance of harm", as staff absences place "huge pressure" on services.

    This brings Wales into line with England, which brought in this change on 22 December, and Northern Ireland, which will also cut its self isolation time from 31 December.

    Scientists told Welsh ministers a two-week post-Christmas lockdown would have an impact in holding back Covid, but changed this advice two days later.

    Re: Coronavirus update - ALERT LEVEL ZERO

    Has Drakeford done the right thing? Obviously the policy of allowing just 50 spectators into sporting venues is stupid but the latest infection rates, deaths and hospitalisations are grim with New Years Eve to come. This does not look good at all.

    Drakeford warns Wales to brace for a difficult January: https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/w...warns-22624775

    Mentions the vaccine hoarding by the West and he is absolutely right, madness people here are getting 3 shots of vaccine whilst other nations have very limited access

    Threatening workers with fines doesn't sound fair either and equally stupid, as they can freely go to a pub which could have a far riskier environment. Imagine the headlines if Boris tried that one .

    What happened to the safer outside science was saying , we know have sport fans in poor ventilated venues watching but unable to go to an outside sporting event .

    Same with Theatre's, cinemas restrictions why not just bring covid passports .

    Man is out of his depth luckily for him he will be in power for as long as he wants as media criticism or policy challenges do not occur in Wales.

    As to the virus yes it's high but hospiltation is not as high as it was under other variants .

    Somes scientists are now saying the current and next variant will deliver natural immunity as it waekens , along with booster jabs which is impressive we may seem some blue sky .

    someone from the Welsh government clarified on the radio the other day that the fines were intended to be for employers if they weren't allowing workers to work from home where it was appropriate for them to do so, not for employees who need to go to the office for work.

    Yeah but making up things to have a go at Mark Drakeford makes for a better story.

    Boris is taking on the virus and keeping his country open.

    He said today

    "Together with the Plan B measures that we introduced before Christmas, we have a chance to ride out this Omicron wave without shutting down our country once again.

    'We can keep our schools and our businesses open and we can find a way to live with this virus.'

    The fact I know loads of people with it currently and all of them are far healthier than if they had the flu means this omicron is the best thing to happen in the last 2 years of this virus.

    Time to get back to normal

    its a brave bold call to stay with " plan b " it would have been easier for him to put more restrictions in place, but he is thinking of the bigger picture

    Living in fear of a potential politically fatal backlash from his own backbenchers and would-be assassins in his own Cabinet if further restrictions were mooted is many things but brave is not one of them!

    Casual empiricism does not systematic data make.

    A lot of good people have sacrificed a huge amount to "fight" Covid. Surely now is not the time to just let the unfortunate and vulnerable down?
