Sadly, you can’t stop Boomers from contracting BS.
I wonder how many ‘infections’ Andrew is responsible for by himself?
Shocking, in other news the grass is green.
You mean the magic of it all didn’t protect people?! I’m shocked.
Cool who cares
Who would have thought that holding multiple events encouraging the public to get involved without any restrictions would have any side effects.
It wasn’t the Jubilee. We were already starting the new wave before it happened. It would be nice if it was just a Jubilee effect and not a new variant wave.
The jubilee wont have helped but this wave was starting before the event, it just helped accelerate it along. This is the third wave this year, this is going to keep happening in waves every few months now due to the transmissibility of these variants and their immune escape, we loose the antibodies within a month or so and then can catch it again, no lasting immunity is being created by catching Omicron.
Looking at the year so far and assuming this continues at a similar rate we will have 5-6 waves, about 50k dead and 1.6-2.0 million with long covid from this year assuming we take no action to prevent those extra 26,000 deaths and another 800k disabled.
managed to avoid it for over 2 years, go on first holiday and come back as sick as a goat. i reckon i caught it a Manchester Airport on the way out, it was rammed
I wouldn’t have thought that it was caused by the jubilee specifically. When we were under restrictions it wasn’t unreasonable that a big event could cause a spike as people weren’t socialising as much day to day. The overall number of contacts between people during an event would have been a lot higher compared to most other days.
Now, people are socialising a lot more often and a lot more people are back to working in person. A big event won’t cause anywhere near such a change in contact between people as everyone’s seeing each other all the time anyway. I probably saw more people at work in the week before the jubilee than I did during the weekend itself, and everything at the weekend was outside anyway.
If the jubilee as responsible for the increase then council areas that had lots of events would have far more infections than council areas that had none.
Of course, there is no such distinction and Covid is surging all over the UK. Participation in the jubilee has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Getting ready for autumn jabs for all!
