This was an interesting read.

So the UK are handling Covid 19 better than every other country yet Labour and the general media are trying to hound Boris out of office because some imbecile sent out a stupid email ...

The UK is the closest of any country in the northern hemisphere to exiting the Covid-19 pandemic, an expert has said.

Professor David Heymann, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), suggested in a Chatham House online briefing that the UK was seeing the disease become endemic.

He said: “In general, now, the countries that we know best in the northern hemisphere have varying stages of the pandemic.

“And probably, in the UK, it’s the closest to any country of being out of the pandemic if it isn’t already out of the pandemic and having the disease as endemic as the other four coronaviruses.”

yes i agree, now we need to remove all lockdowns, open all non-essential stores again


the more people who spread omicron further, the better the chance delta might go away more the more people who get omicron the better


also my mom's thoughts now

yes, apparently there is a new childhood respiratory illness doing the rounds now that causes shortness of breath and that is down to low immunity due to lockdowns

I call BS on this, kids have been back in school for a good 18 months and all of the normal sniffles and sneezes went around last year. If anything last year was quite a "bad one" - loads of little bugs going around in early winter 2020 after the "long" homeschooling period.

Why would they have low immunity currently?

Schools haven't been "off" since February 2021... and even then it was just normal Xmas break extended by a month or so.

Unless they're claiming kids are mixing less outside of school? That doesn't ring true from what I've seen either.

Netherlands: dutch foreign minister Wopke Hoekstra tests positive for covid

The new Minister of Foreign Affairs, Wopke Hoekstra, is infected with the coronavirus. Late on Wednesday evening, he said on Twitter that he "unfortunately received a positive test result." He will remain in quarantine for the time being, which he was already in after one of his children tested positive earlier in the day.

Hoekstra will be working from home for the next few days. "Fortunately, I have no symptoms," he said. The Minister was in Brussels on Tuesday. It was his first trip in his new position. He spoke there with the foreign chief of the European Union, Josep Borrel, and his Belgian counterpart Sophie Wilmes. According to Belgian rules, Borrel and Wilmes do not have to quarantine. In France, where the two will meet with other foreign ministers in Brest in the coming days, quarantine is not mandatory for Hoekstra's contacts.

Hoekstra was also supposed to visit the French city of Brest in the coming days, where he wanted to meet his colleagues from other European countries. Because he was previously Minister of Finance, he already knows most of his colleagues. Due to the positive Covid-19 test, Hoekstra won't travel to France.

One of his children got positive results from a Covid-19 self-test on Wednesday morning, but other family members tested negative, according to Hoekstra. He was already in quarantine as a precaution.

Amazing to see why the Dutch Government went into lockdown based on crazy over-estimates of hospitalisation

A group of Indian hysicians who have been doing research and have treated 20,000
patients have concluded that Omicron is the most infectious respiratory virus
the world has ever seen - even more than measles!

If someone with measles comes into a room everyone in that room has a 90%
chance of being infected (normal room size)

Unless they are vaccinated or have previous exposure to measles, would be the important addendum there.
