Yes, they, or rather he, are acting too hastily. If after another two weeks the figures are falling, that's the time. I see the deaths we t up a little today. We just glance at the figures, but they are, husbands, father wives and mothers.
Everything is such a mess atm in the world. There is no real leadership from anywhere, everything just corruption and lies. But I suppose that has been happening always anyway.
There's a difference between living with and ignoring a virus. Removing the restrictions in itself isn't a bad thing imo. Given the ever improving situation in terms of hospitalisations.
Where I do take issue is with tests needing to be paid for and statistics being abandoned altogether. For me, that's basically taking an action and deliberately and blatantly preventing any repercussions from said actions from entering the public domain. Not on
It might work out, it might not. But let’s not pretend that the UK is doing this for scientific reasons. It’s so Boris can save his own skin by taking a risk with peoples lives sooner than he really should.
I don't necessarily think all of the stats are necessary any longer. But people in ICU, people on ventilators and number of deaths are the three stats that absolutely should remain. If they get rid of these stats it just smacks of covering up for a possibly huge mistake
Basically, Ukraine is the new hot topic now so Covid restrictions & deaths & stuff will be a side note from now on

Ah yes every decision has been made on the back of scientific recommendations. Until it’s a decision you don’t agree with 🤷♂️
On a side note, I thought Matt Le Tissier was a dumb, borderline evil caaaant on Twitter but Right Said Fred have taken his throne. What a world we live in when one hit wonders from the 90’s are trying to take down the system for clicks.

If they aren't then I'm absolutely okay with it. I'm just hoping that is the case UK wide, as I've heard that may not be the case in NI. Hopefully I'm wrong in that. Case numbers in themselves mean very little now, so I've no issue with the discontinuing of those numbers

I’ve been told. I genuinely forgot Deeply Dippy was a song. That’s two I know then. The others however are for the super fans.

I've got no issue with opening everything up looking at numbers, people in hospital and the fact we're coming into spring/summer. The issue I have is not having to isolate if you test positive. That is insanity.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't think it will make a massive difference in practice. The sort of people who won't isolate now wouldn't have isolated anyway, regardless of the regulations. It's free thinking researchers who know better than anybody.
I suppose the one difference it will make is it gives employers more leeway to encourage people to work who shouldn't be there.

People wouldn’t isolate if they had the flu, would they? This isn’t the delta variant we are talking about. It does seem like a big step though. Wish it was in place a few weeks ago when I had my quarterly positive covid test

Aye yea whenever I’ve had the real flu it’s forced me to stay at home, but more cos I’m too sick to do anything as opposed to being afraid of giving it to someone else
Famed epidemiologist Dan Wooton is starting his lockdown inquiry this week on Gammon Brexit news. I wonder what finding he’ll arrive at. Really could go either way 🙄

If people continue to die at the rate they are at the minute with Omicron, the yearly figures would be higher than any annual flu figures in history. And that's before taking into account any impact from removing remaining restrictions.
This may not be Delta but it damn sure isn't the flu either, regardless of the current narrative

Is that of flu or with flu?
What concerns me is the implication of this for immuno-compromised people and those who can't take the vaccine. Are we basically consigning them to a risk of death that few of us would volunteer for? My wife's nephew, who had MS, just died of Covid at the age of 40 last week after three weeks on a ventilator. I think I read that the Omicron wave killed more people in the States than Delta. And if the same number of Covid victims dying each week in the UK died from e.g. terrorism it would be treated as the greatest crisis since WW2. Moreover, I'm not an epidemiologist but I guess creating the conditions that guarantee very high levels of infection mean we increase the mutations and probability of the next variant.
I hope I'm wrong. I would love to live in a world where I don't think about Covid. One thing for sure: it's 100% political rather than scientific motivation on the part of this cynical government.
