Indeed.

Mathematical plot on sky news last night showed that the entire country would be infected by around New year time.

Just on the doubling stat, but doesn't obviously take into account lack of potential folk to newly infected once numbers are very high amongst other factors.

Still going to be a brief rough ride.

 

It could, in theory be covids undoing in a way. However we have to weather the storm till that happens, if it does.

Hopefully the natural immunity from every fucker getting it 'at once' will see it off for good. 

So long as we get Saturday and boxing day games sorted you can pot the January ones for me. 

Got my tribe coming to the next two with tickets missed from my isolation.

Two home losses incoming

I'm at the stage were I couldn't give a fuck, but I'm worried about the young and exams being cancelled for the 3rd summer in a row, they need some Structure not more entitlement, a lockdown wouldn't do any good, just like the last 3. 

They don't work?

Scientists making numbers up again I suppose. Just for the sake of it.

What I deduce from that statement is, the vaccines aren't stopping this Omicron variant, but get jabbed anyway to give yourself a little more protection.

SAGE, the world's greatest predictors!

The BBC link TMGJ provided explains it very well.

The jab reduces the severity of the virus means less folk in ICU.

I’ll put it in football terms for you.

Covid is Man City at their best

Before the vaccine, they were playing 11 blokes from the Balmoral.

After 2 jabs, they’re playing Aston Villa.

After 3 jabs, they’re playing Chelsea.

Yeah but Covids not around on Christmas day, covids having a day off apparently, so we are all okay to mingle, but come Boxing day and all that Football, it'll be back with a vengeance, like Turkey butties 😁

That's because the Government pull their policies from a Christmas cracker.

I trust Mr Grey doesn't teach science or ethics either.

Neither do you my old ticket tout 😉

Very true, but I seem to be able to understand these quite simple briefings we're being given.

I called in the Balmoral at gone 10 Monday evening. Garyoke night. 'Bad Moon Rising' being shouted and some nifty footwork on show.

Possibly still before vaccine for some.

I don't watch them, to much doom and gloom, rules are all fragmented and hypocritical.

You enjoy your Xmas day fella, it's a safe day, Covids having a day off 😀 

 

Ah, that makes sense then.

It's OK, I've already got it.

Prediction; not happening.

Hope I’m right.

I hope you are too. 

But if millions per day get it, regardless of whether it's as mild as the common cold, the government will shit their pants and hit the nuclear button because its too much, too soon and too unknown. 

 

[gonzo]

Always love these Ill do what I want folk when it comes to restrictions.

Ive probably said similar myself. But the truth is, you'll do as you're told.

You really don't get a choice bar going to someones house party or wearing a mask in tesco.

They will by the looks of it, 74k today and loads don't know they have it. Also testing will hit capacity in the next day or two so the true number will never be known. However, that doesn't necessarily matter if hospitalisations don't follow suit. Fingers crossed 🤞 

Reckon loads will have it, but a combination if natural immunity, and double jabbed immunity they probably don't even know. 

 

When the daughter had it, and my son a few weeks later, I tested daily with a LFT.. came up clear but I had a banging headache and shattered.. id that my immune system fighting it?!? 

If that's tge only symptoms someone would have,  people wouldn't spot it.

I don’t think so, because we’ll know by then, we’ll have the data to make better decisions.

On that Twitter thread (very interesting), it looks as though Gauteng has peaked, so, ever the optimist, I’m hoping for a sharp peak, with mild reaction.

If we are all getting it and “it’s just a cold”, then there be no reason to self isolate etc.

We could be back to normal…..

Out of interest, has anyone changed any plans as yet?

 

[Blondi]

So a third of Londoners haven't had any Jabs? Oh dear!

I don't think any boxing day games will be going ahead, unfortunately

[mickbrown]

Heard from was nurse this week that at good 95% of those in her ICU are unvaxxed.

Why don't they announce the numbers of those being hospitalised ever day who aren't vaccinated?

I'm seriously considering sacking Saturday off.
