Sage is just an advisory body, the same as countless other advisory body's. The problem as i see it is that the media give them too much weight and if the media don't get the outcome they want, they pick an individual from that body to re-enforce their agenda. It's not that sage are doing a bad job, it's just their advice is but one part of a bigger picture and that is something the media dont readily admit

I follow this guy .. he seems to be a decent enough bloke and appears to be very knowledgable - he kinda presents as being the ‘level headed one’ and plays down everything - for example he described the rise at the end of this graph as ‘slight’

it is a slight rise though when matched against the infection rate which has gone through the roof. That is the point he is making

the whole point of restrictions is supposed to be to stop the nhs being overwhelmed and as the nhs has less than half the patients it had at this time last year, why would we have restrictions

The whole omicron thing will be done and dusted by mid january

Mr Johnson deserves credit for his readiness to withstand the bombardment
from scientists and opposition politicians for ever more draconian controls
even as the risks recede. He has sought to keep a sense of perspective by
responding to
real-world experience rather than modelling and he needs to stick with it.
Scientists argue that we cannot be sure what will happen next so we had
better be safe. But that is a recipe for paralysis when we must adapt to live
with the virus.

It is extraordinary that with most people vaccinated, many three times, and
with millions developing natural protection we need to endure another winter of controls.
School closures have even been mooted in the event of further Covid
outbreaks. Why? The children are hardly affected and if they are ill they should stayhome.
The constant testing and classroom shutdowns are having a dreadful impact on education
and the mental wellbeing of our youngest people
