That'll be the Xi variant.
Antivaxxers and conspiracy theorists will have a feel day when that comes along.
Been a while since I had one of those but hope springs eternal!
Edited for you.
Touche a tu!

Groups of no more than six people will be allowed to meet in pubs, cinemas and restaurants in Wales from 26 December, the first minister has said.
Let's hope they are right about the lesser severity, but the sheer numbers of infections ripping through (particularly the early 20s age group it seems) is scary. We understand that we're in a hotspot (East Surrey) but I know of at least 10 people who have tested positive in the last week, which is far more than I have personally been aware of at any other point in this crisis. 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
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....)
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.

Any chance this was Omicron ?
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 ?
Up above 100,000 new cases for the first time today (106,000 plus in fact).
People 80% less likely to be hospitalised with Omicron over Delta https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...alflow-organic
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.
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…..
More importantly, was it any good? I've enjoyed a lot of the spiderman films over the years (Toby Maguire - Spiderman II is brilliant).
Oh, yeah, Covid sucks. Just to pretend this is on topic.
Apparently there was a massive queue (over 2 hours just to get in the building) at the mass vaccination centre in the bay this afternoon. This is despite the appointment system and them supposedly not accepting walk-ins.
I had a 1920 appointment, got there about 1910, got jabbed at 2130. Huge queue although it did keep moving so wasn't too demoralising

People who have tested positive for coronavirus in Wales will not be able to leave isolation as early as those can in England.
She said they wanted "to take a kind of more risk averse approach if we can, in trying to continue to put a brake on Omincron as much as possible." FFS this kind of stuff is awful. It's meaningless crap.
I wonder if she really said Omincron as is quoted in the article?
Oops double post.
New cases up to 119,000, but another encouraging report regarding hospitalisation from Omicron.
