Why is the Gov hiding this?

If they want booster/vax uptake - point this stuff out

Nightclubs closed in Wales after Boxing Day, including New Year's Eve. Strong advice for people having Christmas Day together to do so outdoors. Mark Drakeford and Nicola Sturgeon are once again leading the pandemic whilst sorry Boris is bumbling along with his head in the sand.

We aren’t in bleeding Australia (lovely weather) or perhaps live comfortably off and hire a marquee with Jeeves to wait hand and foot on us …fully masked of course

Oh look Santa Claus has bought me an umbrella to keep the rain off while I open my sodden Christmas presents…sorry grandchildren Uncle Crodo says we must stay outside and try and enjoy ourselves
Expletive off

Weird.

Raab was openly asked this a few times and he refused to answer

The one death with omicron is someone unvaccinated, whilst in the middle of a massive vaccine drive

I’m pretty sure that’s the perfect advert for vaccination……

Raab is a dickhead …oops is that allowed

The strong guidance from now is to keep social contacts to an absolute minimum and if you absolutely have to socialise then do so outdoors, vaccines, social distancing and fresh air are our friends against Omicron in that order. Legally enforceable restrictions like Wales are now ordering need some time to allow businesses to get ready for the new measures which I expect will be in place for some time.

Move to Wales or Scotland, you’ll be much happier there.

I’ve just seen Wales are being back tougher restrictions.

Good stuff.

I went to the theatre in London on Monday with the missus. Just been out with 9 mates for a curry. Arranged darts night for next week, and a bit if a gathering for cricket on boxing day.

I'm choosing to live life

I had a coffee via a MacDonald’s drive thru earlier…I know how to live

Not for another 9 days - everyone will have caught it by then

 

[Billy the Fish]

Our society looks to blame politicians or organisations for everything.

It’s taboo to mention shit-sticks or obesity as being huge risk factors

Yep, nobody talks about health.

I've been taking a vitamin D spray every morning for the last year. There's plenty of evidence out there that it offers some protection.

If it’s doubling should be up to a billion in the Uk alone

Something to keep in mind over the course of the coming weeks. Somewhat obvious when you think about it, but easily overlooked and no doubt purposely overlooked by the frenzied media.

People being hospitalised and dying WITH Covid is going to seriously increase in the days and weeks ahead. But, in a nutshell, don’t assume that it was Covid that claimed the life of the poor soul who hit another vehicle head on at 60mph.

I'm pretty confident that if I have Christmas dinner with my 88 year old mother in the back garden, then she won't die of coronavirus. So I suppose that would be another triumph for government policy?

I highlighted this fear a few days ago.

Celebrating pushing Wales towards lockdown again?

Currently forecast to snow all day up here

In the grand scheme of things, it wouldn’t break the bank if we gave everyone £100 for every jab they have. Wouldn’t that be more effective?

Doesn’t work.
We tried incentives to get heroin addicts to have their jabs. A sector of society who need money and aren’t afraid of needles. Even provided a free taxi to get there as well. Not one took us up on it.

Plus if they start handing out money I’m gunna hold out for my £100 when the 4th round of jabs Come round.

Maybe that’s the only jobs that will be left?
