It was first found on 10th December and still only 12 cases detected so I am thinking it is not as transmissible

Risks in PM's plan

[Analysis by Jon Craig, chief political correspondent SkyNewsHD

The NHS is moving to a "war footing", Boris Johnson
declares, imitating his hero Winston Churchill,
before admitting there'll be no change from Plan B in England.
"We have a chance to ride out this Omicron wave
without shutting down our country once again,"
the PM says in typically optimistic opening remarks.

Well, which is it? A war footing or riding out the virus?
The only measure planned as part of the PM's "war footing",
it appears, is daily testing of 100,000 key workers.

Is that wise, though? Surely there's
a risk – in the short term, at least - that more testing
could lead to more positive results and more staff shortages?
And where are the test kits coming from?
Isn't there a shortage?]

LBC Ben Kentish
had great points NHS do not have the Correct Mask.

Also there are no Test Kits.

Saying the only food is noodles to a Chinese person is like saying the only food is chips to an English person. They'll be happy as Larry with a belly full of noodles.

Johnson says "Always tell your mommy before you go off somewhere"

No, they are angry in the China City in Strict Lockdown.

And they reported some are Exchanging
Electric things for better Food

The Downing Street Briefing
has now concluded.

The Omicron variant is milder.
We aren't seeing too many deaths or hospitalisations.
But we should still get vaccinated, so we don't overwhelm the NHS.

i think the nhs is going to be stressed pretty heavily, but at this point any restrictions just wouldnt affect the numbers being infected quickly enough

We are starting to peak in london and the rest of the country will peak over the next couple of weeks. After that, there will likely be a substantial decrease in pressure pretty quickly

John Swinney, deputy first minister of Scotland, recently said: “What
we have got to recognise is that omicron is a serious threat to absolutely
everybody within our society and we have all got to take measures to protect
ourselves by limiting our social contacts and connections.”

--------------------

Hopefully he will lose his seat at the next election

"The figures also reveal that less than 100 individuals have required hospital treatment in the five weeks since Omicron surfaced."

Crying out for a deeper lockdown i think
