ICTChris Posted December 14, 2021 Author Share Posted December 14, 2021 Denmark has released a report on Omicron. They have a number of hospitalisation. This is apparently slightly higher than the Delta wave. It could be due to the higher transmissibility causing more people to catch Omicron in hospital. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the evaporation of consumer confidence thought to have accelerated since then, bosses called for more assistance from the government to help them survive the effects of a second successive nightmare Christmas. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/dec/14/uk-restaurants-and-pubs-fear-40-cut-in-christmas-takings-under-covid-plan-b 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deegee Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I’m really not sure that advising folk to limit household gatherings will have an impact whatsoever tbh. My other half and er family are all SNP supporters and compliant (with all the mask pish, which to their annoyance I roundly ignore). However they’ve all said Sturgeon can go eff herself as we’ll be having a big family Christmas gathering regardless. Unfortunately the government will well know this will be the norm, so I suspect she’ll go for usual suspects; vaccine passport for all hostility as well as gyms etc and maybe even an extension for passports for all sports stadiums. I can’t see any limit on numbers as that would require money she doesn’t have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 If it turns out that it's non-legal advice on limiting social contacts that I can legally ignore for the gentleman's curry night but can use an excuse to get out of the in laws party its going to be a very good Christmas 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no issue with saying that. It allows people to make their own decisions about risking a positive test in the run up to Christmas. Advice is absolutely fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Nail bars?It’s always the nail bars.Just had my booster jag.

There's no issue with saying that. It allows people to make their own decisions about risking a positive test in the run up to Christmas. Advice is absolutely fine. I agree. In hindsight, she ought to have been more positive and enthusiastic in her tone and messaging when we were rolling back on restrictions this summer. Tbf she is very popular and has many folk hanging onto her every word, therefore a change of tone and some stern advice now would probably have been better received. Sadly the drip- drip constant doom laden tone and threats have left many of us absolutely jaded and tone deaf to more restrictive instructions. You are right about folk making their own decisions; wouldn’t really bother me if I missed xmas due to COVID tbh, however we are off on holiday in February and I’ll be mega careful and basically not going out licking walls for the fortnight beforehand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
