Another day, another variant. While the reaction to Omicron was immediate
and one laced with genuine fear and concern, the emergence of a new strain
in southeastern France has been met with a shrug of the shoulders by many
scientists.

On paper, B.1.640.2 looks problematic. Like Omicron, it has multiple
mutations, 46 in total, many of which are located in its spike protein - the
part of the virus responsible for gaining entry to human cells.


In reality, this is a variant that predates Omicron yet has failed to take off
globally in the same way.

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.

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.”

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.

The Downing Street Briefing
has now concluded.

[Vanessa]

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.

[bots]

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

[bots]

"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
