Jokes aside, I hope it’s a mild case and they recover quickly!

Well after almost 2 years of working with COVID patients daily, the wife has finally shown a positive LFT today. I did unspeakable things to her last night so it will be a miracle if it doesn't pass to me!!

Surely you having her knickers on like a mask will have kept you safe?

Covid: UK alert level raised to four due to Omicron

Bastard Johnson to address the nation at 8pm regarding boosters 

[Gemmill 44930]

It'll be to tell 30 to 39 year olds they can book their booster on the website from tomorrow, even though they've been able to do it since yesterday. 

[trooper 940]

Bastard Johnson to address the nation at 8pm regarding boosters. We've gone from 2 to 3,137 cases of Omicron in the UK in 14 days. We're due an update on the current restrictions in 6 days time 18th. The way things are going i reckon we'll be as near to a full Lockdown without actually calling it that.

It certainly feels like the last big spike. 3 or 4 premier league clubs with positive cases in the last week. Wouldn't be surprised to see games behind closed doors again soon

Man United players testing positive now.

How the fuck can you check the vaccination/testing  status of 52,000 fans anyway? Also with lateral flow tests, how do you know they have been taken correctly in the right person?

 

Johnson won't lockdown before Xmas., gambling this variant is more benign. But good chance we will have a proper lockdown in January imo.

Its a hell of a gamble give cases of Omicron are probably doubling every 36 hours now

It's never been done properly anyway. I had to show proof of vaccination to get into Metro arena. Flashed a QR code and got waved through. I reckon every person in there could have flashed the same COVID pass and security would have been none the wiser

Aye, just screengrab any QR code, who's going to cross reference? Let's be generous and say it takes a minute to do this. That would lead to queues hours long at SJP. So either lock down properly or don't bother at all imo.

Johnson's speech is pre-recorded, clearly doesn't want it to interrupt quiz night.

Pre recorded so he doesn't have to answer any awkward questions
