Just saw this morning they are trying to do something about it (making tests available) but it was a pretty bad failing not doing this much much sooner.

The irony of posting that today
UK borrows another £17.4 billion as national debt hits highest level since the 1960s
GOVERNMENT borrowing levels fell in November but City economists are fearful that it may surge again if new Covid restrictions are ordered.

Lockdowns cost money…..
But that doesn’t fix the issue of unvaccinated vulnerable people making up the majority of deaths and hospitalisations does it? Unless you stay locked down forever, which I’m sure you’re not advocating, the same problem is just going to rear it’s head again isn’t it?

We're coming up to TWO WHOLE YEARS of this now - surely there's got to be a point that we just all live our normal lives again!?!? So so much has been put on hold for COVID.
Surely this Omicron is where we want to be at? Mild, flu like symptoms? If so, why are we terrified of it? This isnt me being insensitive either, i understand the huge amount of deaths that COVID has taken, been lucky enough to avoid it and not have any family of friends fall victim of it, but the point still remains.
When does it stop?

I'm not sure what you're getting at. I posted new per capita case counts by vaccine status. You asked how is lockdown going to do anything about this, to which I answered that fewer people coming into contact seems to reduce the number of new cases. As to fixing the issue of unvaccinated vulnerable people making up the majority of deaths/hospitalizations, the data on case counts suggests that if those people got vaccinated there would be fewer deaths/hospitalizations (if I'm understanding you correctly).
Just a wild guess, the press and media have a vested interest in keeping Project Fear going as long as possible ?

The cynic in me mate thinks that a lot of rich and powerful people have made a shed tonne of money during all this, so like the media, have a vested interest in this virus being a thing and ensuring it stays "prevalent"
Surely uiu can’t mean like the government and their mates with the PPE lol

Heard of quite a few people getting COVID over the past 2 weeks including 2 family members who are 60+ and vulnerable. They are vaccinated (one of them only 2 dosed) though. Every one has either had no symptoms or very minor cold like symptoms.
Not sure what the BBC get out of it, but everyone else must be coining it in from advertising placements.
Maybe the bbc bosses are getting backhanders from those that are making money, to keep it as their main topic.
I will be interested to see what the flu death total is this year. Since we ain't in lockdown and we getting colds and bugs again.
Wonder if it is anywhere near the usual amount?
If it is nowhere near, I would be raising an eyebrow or 2 as to what deaths are actually COVID and what were just regular amount of flu deaths.

There was a time (a few months ago) when it genuinely did slip off the front pages of papers and websites
It was lovely
Still quite a lot of Delta around in the Uk so this is welcome news
