One of them is probably out at a function on Monday night.

It won't be Boris though as no doubt he'll be flouting his own mask rules

The jocks have got 6 confirmed cases of Omicron. I hope it's a proper weak as piss version of the virus. 

[Kevin Carr's Gloves 3181]

I just listened to an interview with the Dr who identified the new variant and she basically called the response overboard. She said the new variant isn’t anymore dangerous than the previous one.

TBF I'm not sure what Jodie Whittaker's credentials are that allow her to speak on the subject.

She wants to shut the fuck up after the crime wave she’s caused

Christmas no.1?

The amount of anti-vaxers is taking the piss now mind. They're fucking everywhere.

Reminds me of that quote, "Think how stupid the average person is, and then remember that half of them are even more stupid than that"

I heard her too but with respect to her she can't possibly know this, she was using anecdotes from a setting not really relevant to the UK. I hope she is right and it is no more likely to cause severe illness than delta, but we need to wait and see.

I read that her remarks mainly related to its effects on young, healthy people which would apply for other variants too. 

 

A more infectious variant which becomes dominant but is milder would be a decent way out of this but I don't hold out that much hope yet.

Dozens of potential Omicron cases being looked at. Seems like the genie might be out of the bottle. Also some of the Scottish cases have no travel history

Yeah, that's the ideal situation. I've also heard that although it evades the vaccine in terms of mild disease spread, the vaccines still seem effective at preventing severe illness and death, with all hospitalisations so far caused by Omicron being in unvaccinated  people. I'll be honest, if this variant wipes out anti-vaxxers, that's an added bonus.

takeup in the UK has been pretty good. they're just a particularly vocal minority.

that's the way viruses tend to go, isn't it? they find a way to become more transmissible while killing off fewer hosts.

what was it bill hicks said? the world just a bit lighter, we lost a few morons - good.

It's like trying to keep a fart in your trousers though, amirite? 

[Gemmill 34167]

If it kills the unvaccinated, I would lose half my family, so that gets a downvote from me. 

If it kills Mark Zuckerberg and all the groups making money spreading bullshit on Fox News, Facebook and YouTube, then let's get this party started.

Lad in our team at work who's South African is reluctant rather than anti - he's had one dose and was talking of having his second last week. I had a mild go at him which he was fine with but his Xmas plans are now down the shitter as he was going to go home but would now need full quarantine on return. 

 

Worst thing was he was worried about telling his brother he was vaccinated as he's full anti - I told him he needed to think selfishly from that angle while being selfless in the bigger picture.

The ultimate straw man argument given no one ever said a mask stops you getting COVID.

Id rather someone farted in my face in a pair of trousers than with their bare arse cheeks though. Unless it's Blake Lively

I thought he meant stopping the spread in general, but I might have misinterpreted it.

Lads I was just quoting from Piers Corbyn's great song.

We’re well aware of your preference for clothing related to the nethers.

You must have missed the right banger he posted on the last page  

My response was aimed at Piers, not Gemmil
