    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Agree the absences may cause more issues than Covid (Omicron) to most patients but there’s an option inbetween that hasn’t been explored yet which is reducing self isolation further but you require two negative tests before release.

    Crazy. I’m all for cutting isolation but only on back of negative testing. What are they thinking ?! Hope you’re dad improves Dave

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    To be fair, this is very different (in my eyes anyway) to junior ministers/civil servants who’ve been working together all day staying for after work drinks last Xmas. This was during first lockdown when you weren’t even allowed to meet with more than one person outside, let alone have someone...

    Such high numbers in the population have omicron theres a reasonable chance that anyone dying at the moment would’ve had it in the past 28 days. We need to see the primary cause data. The base/standard hospitalisation and death figures aren’t very useful indicators at the moment due to Omicrons...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Agree. Think he could be in real trouble…certainly if he attended. Wonder what else Cummings has got in his locker as well ?! Just another example of poor (this time appalling) judgement

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It comes across that way. The after work Christmas drinks with civil servants/junior ministers (that were working together anyway), is one thing, and I could let it slide. I actually thought some papers were making more of it than necessary. This is something completely different. Even though I...

    Looking at the case numbers in countries using vaccine passports I think we can safely say, relatively speaking, that they have, in non epidemiological terms, fuck all impact on the spread of omicron. I’m still hopeful Drakefords £60 fine for not WFH will nip it in the bud though

    Gutted about 49ers win (as a saints fan - would’ve been a miracle if we’d made play offs this year and almost did it) but fair play, great come back against a very good team

    4th Round draw

    Shame it’s not at our place, might’ve been on tv and could’ve turned them over. Not so optimistic away !

    Not really but if everyone had been as selfish and refused the vaccine, the NHS would’ve collapsed and/or we’d all be stuck in a strick lockdown for weeks or months The unvaccinated have added an unnecessary and avoidable additional burden during the NHS’ busiest time of year when theyre...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Yeah, boosters appear to have been the correct shout especially with the drop off in vaccine efficacy for oldies coming into winter. Also because Omicron appears to evade natural immunity and has been so transmissible. Not sure the reduction to three month gap between second dose and booster for...

    Maybe a little OTT. The pool of players isn’t so bad if managed/coached/selected correctly Burns Crawley Malan Pope Root Stokes Bairstow Woakes Foakes Mahmood Wood Leach (hopefully Bess again in future) Robinson Anderson/Broad - probably only one going forward Stone and Archer if/when fit Also...

    Think I’ve said before almost everyone will get Omicron, unless they’re a hermit. Hope you’re ok Fernando, think you’ll fully jabbed so expect you’ll be fine in a few days

    Yeah, we were on a loser from the start really. Just look at first test match drops. Poor team selections and some awful shots then compounded problems ! Bit of pride restored at least but need to somehow nick something out of last match….not easy looking at injury list. I hope out of those...

    Thought we’d fucked it at the end. Fair play to Buttler, Stokes and Bairstow playing through injuries. Great knocks from Crawley, Leach and Broad as well
