Mal clearly just wants a bit of validation from strangers on the internet about how smart he is.

"Omicron likely biggest threat of Covid pandemic so far, says UK health chief
Head of UK Health Security Agency warns MPs to expect ‘staggering’ growth rate in coming days
The head of the UK Health Security Agency has called the Omicron variant “probably the most significant threat” since the start of the pandemic as she told MPs to expect “staggering” growth rate over the coming days.
Dr Jenny Harries told the Commons transport select committee on Wednesday that it was still too early to judge the potential risk of the new Covid variant and warned that the virus was “growing faster”.
Her stark warning came after the government’s most senior public health adviser, Dr Susan Hopkins, told MPs on Tuesday that Omicron infections in Britain could reach 1m a day by the end of the month.
“It’s probably the most significant threat we’ve had since the start of the pandemic and I’m sure for example the numbers that we see on data over the next few days will be quite staggering compared to the rate of growth that we’ve seen in cases for previous variants,” Harries said."

Clearly Dr Jenny Harries does not read malvolio on here, that's total incompetence to ignore such an eminent expert in everything, she must be sacked at once and malvolio installed as the Head of the UK Health Security Agency.

Testing capacity will create an artificial cap on infections - they'll probably start only testing symptomatic again, will have to wait will ONS report to get clearer picture.
Lockdown in January for sure now...Comment

80k. That's it. Another lockdown on the horizon, probably in the next couple of days. That's what I think is going to happen. Everything closed apart from vital shops and mandatory vaccination like in other European countries.
Hope you all have done your Christmas shopping already.Comment

It is quite something to watch a virus spread as quickly as this. Just imagine if this was properly lethal, half the country would be wiped out in a month.Comment
