DOOM: "Omicron Covid cases ‘doubling every two to three days’ in UK"

So here is a very strange thing: infections doubled but Omicron cases supposedly make up a very small proportion of the increase??? -
93k cases today compared with 88k yesterday and ~80 the day before - 3 records in a row.
Rumblings of further restrictions but it seems so far, only in the devolved nations.
Tonight is a meal out with my choir ~20 people. We sang together yesterday and we're in the NE with small-O so far so this will be my last activity of the year I think. Doctor's appointment tomorrow, booster on Monday can both go ahead regardless, and we're not going away for Xmas (and my wife had her booster a few weeks back) so it's not the end of the world.
I did hum and haw quite a lot and was a little surprised the events both went ahead without any people pulling out. Let's see where I am in a week!Leave a comment:

""Omicron has replaced Delta as the dominant Covid strain in Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed at a lunchtime briefing. Last Friday, the highly transmissible new variant represented 15.5% of cases, whereas today it was 51.4%.
“The tsunami I warned about last week is starting to hit us”, she said."

I’ll keep you posted.
I’m wearing a FFP2 mask but I’m not confident at the moment. I’m going to be wary for the journey.
