Need negative test to get in which is good I thinkWhy do you care?
Performative nonsense in reality.Need negative test to get in which is good I think
Just not sure why the guy who’s consistently banged on about the pointlessness of boosters and how omicron is “nature’s vaccine” is suddenly jonesing for more restrictive Covid measures.Need negative test to get in which is good I think

Because Chinas a different animal you ballbag. Lied all the way through and only just now releasing lockdowns. Our NHS is collapsing before our eyes, last thing we need is another wave of some media panicked variant no?
And i was right wasnt i? Since Omicron the worlds cracked on and got back to normal? I've only had the original 2 jabs, i wont have another, doesnt mean that testing people arriving from the only country in the world where Covid is still an issue is a bad idea does it?
A) I think you’re possibly right.My two penneth on this:
A. I thought further mutations would lead to milder infection, at least that was my interpretation of the science.
B. We have the vaccine and drugs to treat infection so why bother requiring a test to enter the country?
A) I think you’re possibly right.
B) We already have a failing NHS, it’s flu season, last thing we need is people ending up in hospital with covid in large numbers.
Too late, covid, a nasty flu and RSV all putting an incredible strain on the NHS.
It's going to be a tough winter for the doctors and nurses.
Well if it’s all just a media panic anyway then we obviously don’t need the government to act at all, but I’ll humour you. What if case rates in, say, the West Midlands hit the same levels as they are in China? A local lockdown maybe? A tier system, for old times sake?Because Chinas a different animal you ballbag.

If it’s fine for you and me to walk around with Covid, fully vaccinated or otherwise, why is it a problem if someone from another country wants to fly here and do the same?
A dose of the clap would just make matters worse wouldn't it?They will be ok just a little clap will keep them going
The official explanation appears to be that we, and other countries, are monitoring and sharing data regarding potential new variants of concern but Chinese data isn't to be trusted. It's true that new variants could be milder, it's also true there could be new variants that evade vaccines and / or are more deadlyIf it’s fine for you and me to walk around with Covid, fully vaccinated or otherwise, why is it a problem if someone from another country wants to fly here and do the same?
So we’re slapping travel restrictions on anywhere where we can’t accurately trace new variants or high case rates? Could be a fun spring in the UK once the tier system kicks back in - @Saddlebrains will be delighted.The official explanation appears to be that we, and other countries, are monitoring and sharing data regarding potential new variants of concern but Chinese data isn't to be trusted.

Of course that explanation falls down slightly as we're going to stop publishing data in the new year. Although publishing might be the key word there. Is the data still being collected and shared, if it is would be odd to stop publishing it which can't be much work

The government shouldn’t implement “pointless” and expensive policies because of peer pressure or media pressure. If they don’t have the conviction to do anything other than just follow the crowd, what’s the point in voting for them?You know full well though if we didn’t restrict and everyone else did then the government would be slammed for it
A. Probably but not necessarilyMy two penneth on this:
A. I thought further mutations would lead to milder infection, at least that was my interpretation of the science.
B. We have the vaccine and drugs to treat infection so why bother requiring a test to enter the country?
Out of interest why would you not have any more? Would that apply if a doctor advised it too?
A: There is no way of predicting whether mutations would lead to milder or more severe infection - it's random mutation followed by selective pressure. In many cases a virus WILL mutate to produce a milder infection, because that is the best way of it passing from one host to the next - Omicron has essentially become fixed in the UK population because the vaccine, in combination with that old chestnut "herd immunity", means that (in general) people get a milder disease, don't drop down dead or have to isolate, and are able to pass it on. That is all a virus "wants" to happen.My two penneth on this:

Bet masks will be back soon
New COVID variant 'could be the one to watch out for in 2023' after surge in cases, expert warns
Tim Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology at King's College London, highlighted an Omicron variant after a scientist said cases had more than doubled in the US in a week.news.sky.com
The cardiologist has clearly missed the research paper based upon tens of millions of vaccinations which showed that the vaccine does indeed offer a statistically significant rise in cardiovascular 'incidents'. The only problem for him is that the same paper showed that a Covid infection did that even more so.Just want to say its worth mentioning , I too had a heart issue at an extraordinarily young age not long after my vaccine
It's hard to completely disregard what a cardiologist is saying here , although I appreciate he has some opinions on diets and statins which I don't agree with totally
The cardiologist has clearly missed the research paper based upon tens of millions of vaccinations which showed that the vaccine does indeed offer a statistically significant rise in cardiovascular 'incidents'. The only problem for him is that the same paper showed that a Covid infection did that even more so.
If more excess cardiovascular deaths are happening, it's frankly more likely to be the virus itself.
In your case it's hard to say. But the evidence from a huge number of jabs tells us that Covid increases your risk of heart problems to a greater extent than the vaccine, across all ages.So it's a hard one for me , because my heart issue happened 7 days after having covid and about 28 days after my jab ...
I'm sat here not really knowing what to think , it's hard
Course but the evidence is there for all to see and it’s not from the outlier voicesSo it's a hard one for me , because my heart issue happened 7 days after having covid and about 28 days after my jab ...

Statins are virtually useless in preventing heart attacks. Cholesterol is used by the body to repair itself and Statins, by lowering 'bad' cholesterol, have the side effect of stopping the body getting the 'good' cholesterol to where it's actually needed, like the brain or damaged arteries. High cholesterol levels are often seen in heart attack/disease patients, but it's actually the body trying to repair the underlying damage not the cause of the issue.Just want to say its worth mentioning , I too had a heart issue at an extraordinarily young age not long after my vaccine

I caught it a few months ago and had managed to avoid it since the start of the pandemic, even when my GF had it and we slept in the same bed. Around the time I caught it I had flown something like 8 times in a month and was expecting to catch it then...instead, I think I ended up catching it at my local on a Friday night and then got symptoms the following Monday.My Wife has Covid for the 2nd time and has been really unwell,she tested clear this morning but is still feeling unwell....Me?... no symptoms whatsoever and I've been testing daily and all negative (was exactly the same last time she had it),worth adding we have slept in the same bed all week.
Last Christmas literally everyone in my extended family had Covid bar myself.
Can’t say I’m surprised. I read an article last year about scientists being unable to find a single case in wild animals thought/suggested to be behind the original outbreak.COVID-19 most likely leaked from Wuhan lab, says US Energy Department
A classified intelligence report concluded that the virus which sparked the pandemic probably came from a Chinese lab but was not part of a weapons program.news.sky.com
