[Sir Tigger KC]

Is nobody in government or the media listening to the South Africans?   

Are they disbelieving some of it, because SA's agenda is not to kill its tourist industry


Nobody cares about deaths, least of all the government.  Everybody in the UK cares just about our "precious NHS"...

With that in mind, if we do hit numbers approaching 100k new detections a day, which it seems the scientists believe is possible this side of xmas, and if 0.5% need medical attention for it, do you think the NHS has the capacity?  Whilst it appears to be less serious, when dealing with such high numbers, even small percentages become significant.

I'm with DtB and Drewomega on this one, too many idiots weren't/aren't sensible enough as we approached winter, when we knew the NHS was going to struggle even before Omicron.

Ooo such cynicism! 

[Doctor Gollum]

You can't blame the state of the NHS on TCV.

It has long been woefully inadequate. Every year the Flu 'pandemic' is worse than ten years previously.

TCV has proven that it can barely cope with one thing at a time, and even then, the local medical groups actually delivering the service range from really good to 'they shoot horses, don't they...'

This varient hasn't managed to kill anyone in the arse end of Africa and they would only have a tourist industry if people were allowed to visit

[Doctor Gollum]

That's to say that TCV is being used as an excuse for all sorts of deficiencies and the NHS wasn't particularly efficient to start with.

Although, in its very limited defence it does have 20,000,000 more people to cater for.

Although deaths are irrelevant, the public only cares about the NHS.

"One person has died with the new variant". Not necessarily the same as died from it.
However, imo the latest variant is still an unknown quantity. It looks like it may well be much milder than previous ones, but its too early to tell.
So, taking sensible precautions until the picture becomes clear seems, well, sensible.

Quite right, on both points.

Someone that happened to have it when they fell over and has made for a convenient reinforcing dose of panic, or actually because of it?

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Boris has to push jab number 3 because jab number 4 is waiting in the wings.....with jab number 5 a couple of months after that.

But Boris is right. It is imperative the NHS spend it's time giving jabs fit and healthy 30 year olds instead of dealing with cancer/stroke/heart attack etc..etc.

Apparently a lot of people catch covid while waiting in the queue for their jab.

I'll only show any interest in this if it turns out that the unfortunate person was completely healthy before contracting Covid, was admitted to hospital because of the illness and it subsequently killed them.

The 'powers that be' are generally shy about revealing the age and general health of the 'victim'

We will likely never know.  Nor will we know if they were elderly or had underlying condition, then caught Chinflu, which finished them off.

The china flu might not have even been a factor in their death.  They could have tested positive 27 days ago. 

It's great propaganda though!

It's convenient propaganda though! 

Fixed.
