90% of the uk population has anti bodies to covid now ... one way or another

I heard there had been a 3k drop in covid hospitalisations in the last month, if thats true, then we are heading in the right direction

they have already started changing the narrative too, well its a lot of people off work if they catch it. Mothers will need to miss work if children get it with such a high infection rate ..... the NHS will still buckle, even if no-one gets sick cause they are giving everyone boosters

What do you take from it? I've only seen the same clip as you.

What I take from it is that he's relying on the public not to be smart enough to question whether he has the authority or law on his side to do what he's doing, but when he finds out the public are questioning it, he puts his head in his hands and says "oh sh!t" which to me would make out he's being dishonest and not to be trusted or followed.

The first thing he says in that clip is "Let's hope nobody is bright enough to ask"

The SAs have been saying from the off it is very mild

what we need to be doing is opening borders to spread this so it becomes the dominant one if that is the case

Sounds promising although the new variant may have something to say about that !??

The World Health Organization (WHO) has said it believes existing vaccines "will still prevent severe disease" among people who contract the new Omicron variant.

as there hasn't been any serious illness vaccinated or not with omicron thats really a non statement

vaccinating is difficult for the third world countries though

The cost of Pfizer really hasn’t been mentioned. I mean yeah I understand why they don’t want to but… worth remembering that 100 million Pfizer doses clocks in at nearly Ł3 billion…

No plans to extend school Christmas holiday break

The caretaker Cabinet does not yet consider it necessary to start the Christmas holidays in primary and secondary education a week earlier, Minister Arie Slob for Primary and Secondary Education said in a parliamentary debate on Wednesday. He added that the measure is not entirely off the table. "You can't really say that about anything," he said.

Various parties asked the Cabinet whether schools shouldn't be given a longer vacation to lower the number of coronavirus infections. Schools are currently one of the primary infection sources, partly because kids under 12 are not yet eligible for vaccination.

Slob said some schools decided to close temporarily due to the high number of infections, in consultation with health service GGD."It only concerns schools where it is really not possible to provide good and safe physical education."

He said other measures are being taken to reduce infections at schools. Some 600,000 older primary school pupils will be asked to do a self-test twice a week. The same goes for all secondary school kids. That comes down to millions of self-tests per week. "These are enormous quantities. From Monday, they will be delivered neatly to the doors of the schools." If a child tests positive, their entire household must quarantine at home.

He added that schools got educational materials explaining the self-tests in multiple languages so that all pupils and their parents can understand how to use them and why they are necessary. He also expressed his appreciation for teachers and other school staff "from whom a lot is demanded" now that the schools are open again.

but once you pay for transportation and then the venues and the people to administer the vaccine, the number is probably closer to 5-6 billion

it's going to be an ongoing booster program as long as the virus is a threat. The best way out is probably the anti-virals
