Israel seems to have quite a bit of data, lucky thing for them that they let the saffas announce this variant first. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passing Time Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 1 hour ago, offshoremanxman said: I seriously heard someone in the CS yesterday say it’s time to let some of these businesses go to the wall as we’ve thrown enough cash at them (like it’s even their cash, it’s taxpayers money) and if they still aren’t viable they need to shut up shop and adapt. A complete misunderstanding of what it’s like to be a business owner in the most challenging period in the last 100 years from someone who has gone through 3 lockdowns 100% paid even when ‘working from home’ for months on end. You really do despair sometimes. It’s time to roll this back before it’s too late. Yet the same clowns in CS made sure that non of the hotels have suffered in the last 12 months.

I'd imagine there will be the data, let's be honest this variant has probably been circulating for months. If I'm being honest I don't take much notice of it anymore and generally zone out when covid is mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny though - optimistic claims are met with "well there isn't enough data, wait and see", but claims of doom and gloom (as above) are somehow not questioned in the same way. On a more positive note and using real world examples rather than "f0lL0w tEh sCiEnCe"... https://www.cityam.com/covid-death-rate-not-rising-swap-travel-restrictions-and-mass-hysteria-for-cautious-optimism-as-omicron-mutation-is-super-mild-variant-who-and-coronavirus-experts-say/ Edited December 1, 2021 by James Blonde 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Halsall Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 The sensible chap and Virologist Dr Chris Smith, was interesting this morning on Jeremy Vine (don't pre-judge me, it was a one off), he was commenting on data from Israel suggesting that early signs show that their fully vaccinated individuals should have good immunity from Omicron. What I found interesting was his suggestion that because the British population had a longer time frame between the two jabs, it could offer us better protection. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very poorly written. Seems there are already positive signs emerging elsewhere in the world that this new strain is barely any worse than Delta.

Who’s not going to take the vaccine because they think it might be too dangerous?’ he asked fans. ‘Raise your hands…’ fter a brief pause looking out to the crowd, he continued: ‘Now take that hand and slap yourself in the f**king face.’ As most of the audience cheered, he said: ‘Hear that? It’s the voice of f**king reason, wasn’t it? ‘The spread of Covid was directly linked to how dense the population is and some of the population, really quite f**king dense.’ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a large population of the population are suffering from something akin to Stockholm syndrome. Don’t want to see COVID go. I have myself put several positive news stories on here over the last day, always some who have to look at them negatively; too small data size, only men, only vaccinated, only rich people, can’t trust Israel… Just bring yourself to say it’s looking quite positive 😎 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
