That's the reason 'advanced' countries have been so hammered, too many old people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair a lot of people in SA have the immune systems of old people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK/IOM had already built up massively more resistance by way of vaccines compared to SA... People knew that, some just chose not to acknowledge it. Yes completely different they had only just got over the delta variant and so many will have had immunity build up, the age demographic is also younger so when Omicron hit they had immunity and as all much younger the response from there is not analogous to the IoM at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But weren't the doomer scientists telling us Omicron was deadly because it was so different to Delta?

See London for a possible example. In 2020 at one point Belgium were so short of staff that they had covid positive staff at work if they felt well enough, before LFTs were mainstream. That does not make Scientific sense all you would do is a mass cull of the vulnerable, you are Boris Johnson and I claim my £5.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys, you're generally an intelligent poster, especially on due dilligence, if you've nothing to add to the debate, wouldn't it be be better to butt out lest it seems like you are waiting for any opportunity, however feeble, to have a go at me because of our past history? Anyway, 'scuse me, I need to go to the off license before I drive those Russian Mafia in my Taxi!!!
