Coronavirus

[Soldi]

Oh, being more cautious over Christmas than I thought he would be.

That's concerning.

I genuinely think there could be thousands of deaths per day and people will still break any rules in place over this Christmas.

 

[COB]

I really can't see people going back to wearing masks in places where they've already been done away with for months

 

[lolly]

I'd be amazed if I see any significant difference in mask compliance on the bus on Monday.

 

[Kratz]

I FUCKING DESPISE WHEN HE CALLS MINISTERS BY NICKNAMES.

Oh wow did he? I never watch these things - who has a nickname?

I think they should go tough on the messaging. Draw the link between wearing them meaning that Christmas might not be cancelled. There needs to be a carrot/stick approach

I despise the public calling the prime minister by his nickname. The clown is less funny when you treat him like any other PM and call him by his surname.

TBH I see it slightly differently and see calling him Boris as delegitimising his position as PM (a good thing)

 

[Cloud]

About time on the face coverings. That's a measure I'm happy to support

 

[lolly]

I don't think it is in the slightest. And neither does he. He knows it has worked for him, and that's why he's doing it to others.

 

[Indie]

I don't know why they're not asking people to work from home.

 

[Ellie]

And who exactly will be enforcing it? It’s already compulsory on London transport and hardly anyone complies.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Starting when? Such vague rubbish.

 

[VoR]

I don't know why they're not asking people to work from home.

Again, it doesn’t play well with middle-aged gammons who are triggered by the concept of working life becoming marginally better for the generations that follow them.

 

[win_the_game]

I don't know why they're not asking people to work from home.

Because it will encourage everyone to sit on their peletons instead of doing any work of course!

 

[FetchFugly]

I'm not sure why 'Not including hospitality' needs to be a separate sentence.

Also the replies to the tweet are predictable but depressing.

 

[Madíson]

TBH I see it slightly differently and see calling him Boris as delegitimising his position as PM (a good thing)

I really disagree. The morons in the red wall voted for ‘Boris’, not a politician.

 

[Star]

Starting when? Such vague rubbish.

It's the usual isn't it? Keep it vague and then blame the public when they don't listen and it all goes wrong.

Calling Johnson "Boris" is very different from calling May "Tess".

 

[Funky]

Bloody hell it's only trains buses and shops. I bet there'll be riots now

 

[big ron]

What do we actually know about this variant? Its more transmissible right? Are the symptoms worse? Didnt the spanish flu mutate its self to death by becoming more transmissible but essentially a shit version?

 

[Saltwater]

I've read somewhere that it's supposedly milder in symptoms but more contagious. They weren't referencing any source though, could be just rumours.

I guess the dream is a variant that does very little harm but is highly contagious and can elbow all of the more dangerous strains out of the way.

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

They won’t really begin know for another few weeks when they can observe the impact it has on hospitalisations, will they? In which short term changes with the possibility of extension seems like the right call. It’s just whether it’s too late to really mandate face masks in the UK after people have moved on.

 

[Suomi]

this guy has been right with everything from the beginning and is one of the only accounts I look to

 

[Cloud]

(Gal)
I always look forward to her take on things. She's relentlessly optimistic so I take with some amount of salt BUT much more qualified than most to speak on the subject and for the most part has been correct about ignoring media hysteria.

Also, told ya furries were neat ;)

 

[OutSynk]

Omicron™ out now.

 

[Diddy]

Omicron does sound kind of cool.

We just need Omega Zero to be the final boss so we can get some closure

Coronavirus is BELLIGERENT AND NUMEROUS

(Also I just learned belligerent has two Ls)

 

[Diddy]

Oh shit Morbo said that didn’t he

 

[floppet]

Somebody told the deniers and anti-maskers that Omicron is an anagram of moronic. They're running with that as a conspiracy theory now.

At least it’s only a TAD funnier than the omicron/ô macron thing we have here with our anti-maskers

 

[GinAg (39)]

There was definitely a significant uptake in masks in Aldi this morning.

 

[Star]

Yes and at the leisure centre too where I just went!

 

[big ron]

There was definitely a significant uptake in masks in Aldi this morning.

For all the whinging of the noisy minority I think people will happily wear them. Its not that big a deal now.
