if there isn't a lockdown with furlough this winter I think that will show that Boris was right and lessons will have been learned. Everyone expected more covid cases this winter. If they hadn't found this omicron variant there would difnitely have been another one. Don't wear a mask if you don't want to, don't get vaccinated if you don't want to but don't expect to be able to do exactly what you want and have the same access to venues. I really don't hear any medical opinion saying anything other than wear a mask, get vaccinated and if you have symptoms get tested.

Ffs, un****ingbelievable.

You, and others no doubt, may find my comments unbelievable but I don't think they are untrue. I think vaccines have helped to reduce the loss of life caused by the covid19 virus. Do you agree? If vaccines do not stop the spread of the virus, should simple measures like wearing face masks and working from home for example, be encouraged? If you disagree, what do you think should be done? Telling someone like Nicola or Boris that they are wrong is not the answer, IMO. Giving them alternative courses of action seems to me, to be a better way to achieve changes in covid policies.
FWIW, I think the working from home instruction/suggestion is unnecessary and will cause significant problems for retailers and the entertainment and catering industry. I would have encouraged people to get vaccinated and tried to find a comparison with the death stats for last year with this year.
I will apologise if my optimism about the vaccination programme proves to be wrong and we do go into lockdown and furlough this winter.
