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

[AtW]

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!

He must be one of those rare employers in the leisure industry that has plenty of people queuing up for jobs with him.

plenty of employers still believe that, just look at Salt Bae paying peanuts.

""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."

It ends up back on the employer as she starts a new job in January. All it means she gets Christmas off and can talk to the media.

good stuff with employers like that leaving is frequently the best career move!

Anyway, I’ll take a hit for the team and will be the CUK canary.

I’ll keep you posted.

Well, I’m on the train to St Pancras and it’s rammed and while most have masked some don’t.

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

It depends on the company....
