Scotland are doing this too, and already trying to get money off Boris. We are having to rob peter to pay paul at the moment, and Peter is getting very peed off because he knows the next 5 years are going to leave him on the streets.
If there are going to be millions of people on sick leave, then, presumably, all “industries” would be affected - the cost of reimbursement surely cannot be borne again by the public purse …
The BBC has seen leaked minutes of a meeting of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies held on Thursday. The document says there are many uncertainties about the future path of hospitalisations linked to Omicron.
In England, modelling indicates that hospital admissions could peak at at least 3,000 a day without intervention measures beyond the Plan B rules currently in place, Sage advisers say in the leaked minutes.
The highest seven day average recorded last January reached just over 3,700 hospital admissions a day.
The number of people requiring treatment in hospital has been rising, with admissions being between 696 and 815 every day in the past week.
BJ, of course, has no plans for intervention but he may be forced into a decision by sheer weight of numbers …

I very much doubt it’s Bojo’s decision to make any more! I think he’s been thoroughly reprimanded and hopefully hiding in a closet! A decision is more likely to be made between the scientists and Savage Javage!
If you’re going to post charts and graphs, Omah, please have the decency to include dimensions on the Y-axis otherwise they are meaningless.
And, equally likely, admissions could reach 300 a day. It has been shown (all over today’s press and TV Magazine programmes) that the error in the estimates is very large.

Hi
That is the nature of viruses, they mutate.
I make no excuse for the fact that I intensely dislike Boris and will be glad when we get rid of him.
He is a self serving Liar, it is as simple as that.
As regards Covid, I have the deepest sympathy for him, we are in uncharted territory with it and he has to call all the shots.
He is having to take the flack for years of cuts by Cameron and May, over which he had no control whatsoever.
I would not have his job for £100 million a year.

I thought yesterday they were a little premature when they said they thought it might already have peaked.
With more than a week to spread itself throughout the UK population over Xmas, the COVID virus (all variants) probably won’t peak until mid-January (or even later, no-one knows).

Hi
It is certainly spreading ant not everyone is getting mild symptoms.
One of my carers has it, self isolating and feeling shattered.
She has even had to miss her 6year old she is that bad.
Is that confirmed as Omicron Swimmy?
