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

[Whorty]

Bloody hell, grasp the realities, Covid is good for you! You can get all brain foggy and spend your day in bed without spending money on alcohol!

But will it give me special goggles and lead me to wake up next to a woman that it the bright light of day isn't as pretty as she was 10 hours earlier?

Yes, and I think he's the same professor whose doom-laden advice led to the needless slaughter of tens of millions of healthy animals during the last Foot & Mouth epidemic

Ah yes and was then Knighted for his efforts. IIRC it was the same model he (his company) used for both.

Well yes, it's obviously different or else it wouldn't be novel, but it is still a strain of flu!

Even if that is the case, so what? Laurel is a type of cherry but you wouldn't eat a big bowl of the berries.

Any sort of role where you have to advise on how to prevent a potential bad outcome that isn't 100% certain to happen either way is a very tough gig. Whatever you advise is going to annoy someone, get it "right" and prevent the bad outcome, and some people will think the measures taken were too harsh, get it "wrong" and allow the outcome, and everyone will be on your back. See also: Climate change, IT security, Y2K etc.

It's worth looking back at some of the threads over the last 2 years see who provided correct information and who ridiculed anything that upset them.

Is this the same Professor who ignores nearly 200 years of immunology research that says that if you have had Covid you are immune from catching the same strain again?
