I actually can't remember what Plan A is. Perhaps I'll write to Johnson as he seems pretty clued up on the rules. I presume I can boozily party where and when I want. Lol.

Being 56 years old, he no doubt favours further jabs for those 55+. Lol.

If 100% of people are vaccinated then 100% of cases would be vaccinated. That tweet is deliberately misleading.

Cripes ! Better than dying with the virus I suppose.

The monkey in the wrench is the uncertainty about what happens if boosters start to wane. The oldest were boosted first so any waning will happen first in the most vulnerable. Prepare for shot 4 from February onwards, I suppose, and for it to be a twice yearly booster from here on in until the...

Christ. All I said was there were reports. You asked me to post a link !!!!! Next time all you'll get is www.google.co.uk and the contents of the search box ( " Omicron children" ).

A quick Google search for "Omicron children" returns a few. I won't list them all but this is the top one on the list and other articles are available in the results : https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/coronavirus-omicron-scare-spike-in-children-being-hospitalised-in-south-africa-2635577

Lots of reports that more children are being hospitalised by Omicron in SA. Very worrying.

They always mix up 'population' with 'adult population' don't they ? Given that only a tiny number of under 18s have been vaccinated - and the rest act as a non-vaccinated viral 'sink' - we probably aren't at herd immunity levels just yet.

I'm not sure what new freedoms actually affect me. Nothing really changes for me today. I think I can now go to the pub without booking ? ??? That is a plus. Not so much of a plus on a Monday, mind. Still, by way of balance, I can see that Cyrus the Virus is now free to run amok so that is...

Just remember that if 100% of the people are double vaccinated then 100% of any deaths will be double vaccinated people. That doesn't mean that the vaccine is 0% effective. It could well be 96%+ effective.

It may well be. 90% effective doesn't mean only 10% of deaths will be double vaccinated. That would only be the case if all age groups had an equal chance of death and if the same proportion of each age group had been double vaccinated. Currently more of the most vulnerable have been double...

If everyone was double vaccinated then 100% of any deaths would be double vaccinated. I think it just shows that the vaccine isn't 100% effective. Which we knew.

Lockdown 4 by September.

We simply cannot close the main Coronavirus thread. It's not over by a long way. We are nearly at "Freedom For The Virus Day" and it is licking its viral lips at the prospect.

Yep. Standard Johnsonism. The sooner his party ditch the clown the better.

I'm hoping for a Pfizer / Moderna booster next time after having 2 AZ so far.

I don't mind the relaxation of restrictions for now. My big problem is with the "irreversible" mantra. Really? If things tank they will just say "oh well, irreversible, tough". All well and good now we are in summer. Let's see what winter holds before being "irreversible".

The idea is that 4 more weeks gives every over 50 year old that wants one their 2nd dose.

Professor YouTube is the goto to find evidence to back up an already formed opinion.
