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

[AtW]

Presser is not starting, some last minute decisions being made...

Maybe Pfizer should focus first on making more vaccines for all the developing countries with lower vaccination rates, which is where variants will develop from.

They can do both, there are plenty of vaccines about now anyway, but no good working antiviral

They should focus on making them for whoever is paying. The buyers are responsible for deciding who gets them.

Let them all catch it and hope for the best - that was and is the plan, unless you know otherwise.

Not sure where you get that from, given schools have been pretty vigorous at sending kids home. Even if it were, that's exactly how the UK deals with chicken pox. We don't take drastic measures when a disease has no sign of being dangerous "just in case".

Median incubation is something like 5.5 days, so you wouldn't really expect a positive result until tomorrow or Friday. I and the rest of my family are still testing negative with fully infected son in the house (symptomatic/pos test since Saturday). Crunch time is the next 3 days I reckon.

We can compare notes then. Daughter upstairs with covid (assume Omicron from the symptoms - don't think she's had it confirmed). Adult, so she is confining herself to the bedroom and (shared) bathroom, but she was with us downstairs on Sunday when her symptoms first appeared.

Mr ms and I both LFT negative and no symptoms (he's had a slight headache maybe) - PCRs posted yesterday so awaiting results. I was boostered 3 weeks ago, him a couple of days before she came home, so hopefully they're doing their job and either protecting us from getting it, or protecting us from symptoms.

Pfizer antiviral seems to work well on Omicron also, but production going to a problem

Eh?

"PM to hold press conference with Chris Whitty at 5pm"

[d000hg]

let's also hope that the medical experiment this government has carried out on the nation's children with the previous strains doesn't come back to bite us on the arse.

Tory scum will be out of power for a couple of decades soon, so they won't care.
