More than half of those infected with the Omicron coronavirus variant in
England were double jabbed, health officials have said, as the number of
cases detected in the UK continues to rise sharply, The Guardian reported.

There were 75 further cases of the Covid-19 Omicron variant identified in
England, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said on Friday night. It
brings the total number of confirmed cases in England to 104 with 134 in
the UK as a whole. There were warnings of a “small amount” of community
transmission as not all the new cases were linked to travel, the report
said.

Cases have now been identified in the east Midlands, east of England,
London, north-east, north-west, south-east, south-west and West Midlands..

On Friday, 16 cases were found in Scotland in the previous 24 hours, five
times the increase recorded the previous day, with some linked to a Steps
concert in Glasgow 11 days ago. Wales also announced its first case on
Friday.

The sharp rise in cases came as a new risk assessment from the UKHSA said
the new variant is “transmitting rapidly and successfully”.. A separate
analysis by the agency of the first 22 Omicron cases in England also found
that more than half of those infected had been double jabbed, the report
said.

Twelve of the 22 cases occurred more than 14 days after the individual had
received at least two doses of vaccine. Two cases were more than 28 days
after a first dose of vaccine. Six were unvaccinated, while two had no
available data.

### - iow: we've basically NOW gots TWO pandemics currently underway??

the variant delta did indeed replace the earlier strains and so no doubt
omicron will now similarly + very quickly replace delta in its turn,
vaccinated/unvaccinated doesn't matter now in terms of actually getting
omicron coz every fucker's gonna catch it regardless... the only
unanswered question everyone's currently waiting with bated breath to hear
is: how ill does omicron actually make people??

plus: does having been vaccinated make any difference to symptoms + if so
to what degree?

deaths from covid are only counted here now within 28 days of first having
been tested positive and this omicron variant has apparently been here
since mid november, so it's gonna be another week or so before we know if
omicron is deadly or not, and if so under what circumstances...

it's STILL not too late to lock us all down only it looks like they ain't
gonna do it?

only if/when people start dying en-mass will they consider it, and by then
it's gonna be... everywhere!

bungling boris strikes again!

(whatta callous/uncaring cunt 'he' turned out to be huh, just doesn't give
a shit...)
