Don't listen to this. Seen as though it's so rampant in South Africa 1 has died. We have been told by a few health experts that Omicron isn't a massive deal people are making it out to be. All this came out in the press about Boris and his people and he gets so much backlash for it and people asking him to resign all of a sudden a massive press announcent...Omicron is a big big big deal let's all talk about Omicron let's all talk about boosters let's all talk about mask wearing and working from home and let's completely be fooled into forgetting just how hypocritical and rule breaking these lot have been. Don't lose sight of what they are trying to get you to forget. It's a ploy

Briefing now Concluded

[arista]

[Boris Johnson announced this evening
that the Government is implementing
its Covid Plan B.

It means:

WFH
The return of work from home guidance.
People will be told to work from home
in England from Monday if they are able to.

Face masks

Face masks will be made compulsory
in most public indoor venues including
in cinemas and theatres from this Friday.
They will not be required in pubs, restaurants and gyms.

Vaccine passports

The NHS Covid pass will be compulsory to gain
access to nightclubs and other large venues
where large crowds gather.

This will apply to all unseated indoor venues
with more than 500 people, unseated outdoor
venues with more than 4,000 people
and any venue with more than 10,000 people.

Two vaccine doses will be treated as
fully-vaccinated but this will be kept
under review because of the booster programme.

A negative lateral flow test will also be sufficient.

This requirement will be rolled out in one
week's time to give businesses time to prepare.

Contact testing

Contacts of Omicron cases will be told
to take daily coronavirus tests instead
of having to self-isolate.
They will have to quarantine if they test positive.]

I wish we’d spent that Ł37 billion on more hospital beds / nurses and doctors instead of wasting it on the massively flawed track and trace system .

:::

In May last year NHS Test and Trace (NHST&T) was set up with a budget of Ł22 billion. Since then it has been allocated Ł15 billion more: totalling Ł37 billion over two years.

Does everyone remember when we weren't able to go and see our kids sports days this year. Well at least the rich politicians had a lovely cheese and wine party. Do you remember when our lovely queen had to sit by herself at her husband's funeral after all they have done for our country. Well at least the politicians found social distancing funny. Do you remember when so many couldn't be with their loved ones when they died and then the ones that died couldn't have a proper funeral. Well at least their so called business meeting was fun. Do you remember when everyone had to cancel their Christmas plans last year. Well at least Matt Hancock was enjoying having his cock up someone.

Are people really going to obey these people??

We will just see our immediate family over Christmas and try and stay as safe as possible

Just playing the percentages .

Everyone has the choice .... they can party all day and night all through the Christmas period right past New Years Eve .. don’t wear masks and don’t even get vaccinated.

The thing is statistically they will be at far more risk of catching the new variant and we still don’t know that much about it .

We will be staying as safe as possible ( statistically ) .

Now I’m no genius mathematician but if the Delta has been doubling every 2 to 3 weeks but the new Omicron variant doubles every 2 to 3 DAYS ..

That suggests that Omicron is spreading SEVEN times faster ??

i think we have to be realistic. If something is that infectious everyone will get it eventually unless the booster does something miraculous. I also dont think standard social distancing and masks will particularly affect that infection rate. The only thing that will do it is another proper lock down until march when we get the modified vaccine. However, if say 99% of the population get mild effects, infection rate doesnt matter and we dont need any restrictions at all

Queenie is being discussed on Sky News as we speak .. she was apparently in residence when Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were staying over and enjoying hospitalities.

I'll start worrying about Boris if he brings in, mandatory/forced vaccines, vaccine passports and quarentine camps (like in Australia) until then, you can just ignore these mask and social distancing guidelines.

This whole "party" thing stinks of them trying to remove him to bring in someone who will implement those things.

Yup. All of the extra measures aren't because Omicron is so dangerous, but so they can grab more power.

Completely tedious bringing back these restrictions after it was looking like we were (rightfully) learning to live with it.

We were coping .. just about with still too many deaths and around 30,000 new infections daily ..

Omicron ( and worldwide data ) has changed everything .

We are up to 50,000 new infections each day now and rising with Omicron doubling every two to three days

All the new restrictions were based on no new evidence

we cant use data from sa as they have a tiny percentage of vaccinated

meanwhile we have a pm lying about covid in the house today

utter madness

vitty et all are just as bad to go along with this
