NHS told to prepare for ‘new and significant threat’ of Omicron

  1. I’m sure they’ll get right on that with the reduced number of beds provided by conservative ‘efficiency savings’ and the reduced staff caused by brexit….

  2. South African doctors have said this strain is mild.

    I don’t know about you guys, but I trust them more than this government.

    This is gaslighting and fear mongering.

  3. As far as i can tell this is a warning for the kind of people that will be admitted. My partner says she exlusively deals with agro anti vax people or weak minded people who’ve been told not to get it. Crazy how they’re against the vaccine but when they get the virus are more than happy to be pumped full of dangerous anti viral medication that requires PPE even before the pandemic to administer.

  4. Yeah I’m sure the nine people in hospital with omicron nationwide are gonna have them overwhelmed, give me a fucking break.

  5. I want to get my booster shot but…….

    where as the 1st 2 shots were at a local GP practice 10 mins walk away. Now my only offer/option is to either; walk for over 60 mins or use public transport to get to their vaccine hub.

    This a major London Borough and to be frank ‘brewery & piss up’ spring to mind as anybody old, vulnerable or has mobility issues – I fall into one of those categories – will have great difficulty getting there! ​

    I’m currently umming n arring atm this time! Do I want to put myself into a high risk environment (tube/bus/taxi) to get the booster? TBF I’m looking at walking it as it’s the safest option for me. I would attempt to cycle it but the A3 & A23 are bus heavy and me n busses have a bad history. I can extrapolate that if I’m having these thoughts that having this sole hub with zero other options is bonkers!!!!

  6. According to an article in the guardian :

    ‘Professor behind symptom tracker app says Omicron variant causes headaches, sore throat and runny nose’

    Read that headline. Read it again. And again.

    It’s a bloody cold ffs.
