Oh the push back and the sky is falling will start anytime now.........

I hope people will see that much like the flu the death rate was hovering around the 1% level the entire time and those with other conditions were always at higher risk in any virus situation...

They love to compare death numbers against other countries but notice they do not account for......... how old/ or healthy a population was to begin with.
The US has a high death number but as stated by CDC most of the deaths had other co- morbidity. also we did NOT distinguish between died with or died from.

Perhaps we should focus on items of health we can change as a country .......

I wouldn't be surprised if they reported "Spiking Cases" after dropping the mandates - to prove how right they were to have them in the first place.

I think they will do something sneaky like that after they have fired all the health care personnel who refuse the jab. They'll say, "OMG, covid cases are skyrocketing!" Stop firing people for medical autonomy! :mad:
 
Today everyone is on their way back to work after WFH was dropped

Commuters in England are heading back into city offices today after Boris Johnson dramatically scrapped all Covid curbs yesterday.

Photos show people in London riding Tube services and traffic building up on the A102 Blackwall Tunnel approach in Greenwich during rush hour this morning after the Prime Minister ordered civil servants to lead by example and get back to their desks.

In a statement to the Commons yesterday, Mr Johnson announced WFH guidance would be dropped immediately and rules on masks in schools would also be scrapped from today. Other restrictions including compulsory face coverings on public transport and in shops, and Covid passes for entry to nightclubs and large events will end next Thursday.

And the legal requirement for people with Covid to isolate will also be allowed to lapse when the regulations expire on March 24.

Good luck to you and everyone in England! I wish America was half as smart, but sadly we are not and it continues to be a battle here. :(

Would like to hear Brits opinions 🤔

Not a Brit either, but I'll just say this-

Bojo broke his own lockdown rules and got caught.
I guess he should lift those rules now, since it appears he never thought they mattered in the first place

the rules are lifted ...all but the mask mandate on Public transport, and hospitals... It's not mandatory in supermarkets et al... but I continue to wear mine . Today I came out from my meeting, and popped into a couple of stores close by.. one was a major supermarket I didn't see a single person wearing a mask.. the next was a large hardware store, again , no masks.. then I stopped for a coffee at the pub before heading back to the car, and again not one person wearing a mask.

I would love to not wear a mask, it's a PITA... and I do of course dispense with it if there's no-one around.. but for now, where there's lots of people in an indoor space I will continue protecting myself..I do not want Covid again... :oops:
 
The Omicron/Holiday gatherings spike appears to be declining, but that is probably just another temporary situation that likely proceeds the next increase in numbers as Spring/warmer weather arrives in a couple of months.

Meanwhile, many hospitals are still at capacity, and schools are facing shortages of teachers and growing numbers of sick students.

This illness is far from over, and we will be facing excessing "reactions" for quite some time.
