Nearly two per cent of people in Northfields got Covid last week

Just to guard against any complacency about the situation at the moment I'd urge you to put your post code into this link. https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/interactive-map/cases The rates of infection in parts of Ealing are really alarming. The infection rate per 100,000 in the Northfields area is close to 2,000 which means that nearly 2% tested positive. As many cases are mild or asymptomatic the number with the virus is probably far higher. Thankfully people seem to be effectively locking themselves down because they have more common sense than the government.

Mr Taylor is obviously on a wind up which too many of us have fallen for as it is not possible to be as thick as he is and looking at comments about his going to court/fines etc, he obviously has no friends, so is seeking attention.Hopefully none of his family get ill nor his friends if it turns out he has any.Merry Xmas and HNY to one and all.

Not to downplay the problem or support trolls like the one on this thread but 2% is actually at the low end of London infection. South London boroughs such as Lambeth and Wandsworth have two or three times as many infected.

Interesting to note Spain has introduced the wearing of masks outdoors!

You're wasting your time with these people."......having to give a bed to an unvaccinated idiot with Covid and not to someone with another medical condition whose need has been judged to be not quite as acute even though they may die as a result." ABSOLUTELY, and VERY sadly, correct.

Have you read the article you have referenced?We've had confirmed today in a number of studies that Omicron less likely to hospitalise you than Delta particularly if you are at least double jabbed. This was widely believed before and now is being confirmed by the research - the Telegraph article acknowledges as a fact.What you are failing to grasp is that the problem with Omicron is that it is highly transmissable and is hitting us just at the worst time - when demand on health services is at the highest. This means that doctors are having to make tough choices at the moment about ICU beds. Talk to anyone working in a general hospital and they will tell you of their anger at having to give a bed to an unvaccinated idiot with Covid and not to someone with another medical condition whose need has been judged to be not quite as acute even though they may die as a result.The situation now is that staff are getting infected at the highest ever rate since the beginning of the pandemic. ICU staff are specially trained and in short supply. The data from countries such as the Netherlands that we have suggests hospitalisations will rise sharply due to Omicron. Even you will be able to work out that more patients and fewer staff to care for them represents a major problem. We also are probably at the foothills of this because of the amount of inter-generational mixing that will take place over Christmas.Try using your out of context quote and trite conclusion on an NHS staff member and see what they say.

Omicron wave may be no worse than a flu pandemic, says former government adviserFirst real-world study also finds that excess natural deaths are significantly lower than in previous wavesBySarah Knapton, SCIENCE EDITOR14 December 2021 • 10:29pm

look in the mirror to see a buffoon , last yaer our politicains had big parties while the public were ordered to stay at home , this is yet more evidence that they were lying to the public but instead of condemning the political elite who are actively destroying our country you give them support , what a weasel you are

P Taylor ● 1357d

Buffoon.

N V Brooks ● 1357d

omicron is just a fancy name for the common cold that people get every damn year , by all means cower behind your sofa watching your beloved BBC and wait for permission to breathe

P Taylor ● 1357d

Oh, I see, you are content that others take resposibility not to pass on the virus while belittling those who express opinion about it's virulence.Speaks volumes.

N V Brooks ● 1357d

you can have mine by all means , in fact i will celebrate when you get your 4th which is now being planned

P Taylor ● 1357d

i went to ealing hospital last year to look around and it was emptyi also have a friend who went to the  car park and saw ambulances leaving with sirens and then coming back empty , he also saw nurses dancing in the car park, i also know of two nurses personally who were asked to do dance routines .

P Taylor ● 1357d

Mr Taylor, as you have no friends, never go out and live on your own it is probably okay that you don't get the vaccine.

Tricia Arbuthnot ● 1357d

Bufoonery at its finest.Nurses having time to record videos? All I witnessed frst handwere medical staff worked to a bloody frazzle without time to pause.Buffoon.

N V Brooks ● 1357d

this forum is nfested with idiots who believe are lying media its the vaccinations that are making people ill ,also the definition of unavaccinated is now also including everybody who has not had a booster so unless you have hade a booster then you are also  unvaccinated , in fact NHS hospitals wewre so busy last year that the overall death rate did not decline and Nurses had time to record HUNDREDS of dance videos on tik tok , sadly you lot are on the wrong side of history and will have to face that fact in due course

And you, P Taylor, will undoubtedly be responsible for one or more deaths if anyone is stupid enough to heed your idiotic comment.

Rosco White ● 1357d

Oh joy, just what the world needs. Another anti-vaxer.Selfish idiots in the main.When you witness, as did I, a procession of bodies being wheeled in the 'blue trollies' off of the critical care wards at Ealing Hospital then perhaps you may take time to reflect on the stupidity of statments such as 'no biggie'.Buffoon.

winter flu no biggy, you are a hypochondriac
