Cringing here at his bumbling non answers to the questions about the party

@rrhuth

Boosters not needed for vaccine pass? Because they don't limit transmission much?
Because not enough people have been able to get one yet I assume, a lot not yet eligible.

OMG, did he really just turn that into a gushing tribute to Allegra Stratton?

Talk about tone deaf

Bloody hell, rather than answering the question of the party under HIS roof, he is using the opportunity to pay tribute to dear Allegra!

Having said that, probably she is the only one telling the truth and definitely the only one punished for it.

vera99 · 08/12/2021 18:27

Paying tribute to Allegra probably scores highly on the tone deaf side of things.

@EnnandJay - what do you think can stop it though. This cannot be stopped only managed to try and increase the doubling time to manage hospitialisation

whynotwhatknot · 08/12/2021 18:27

They need to update the official symptoms on nhs site its ridiculous it still only lists sense of smell/taste cough and high temp

Sunflowersinthewind · 08/12/2021 18:27

I'm not sure why everyone doesn't need a negative lft? Surely that's safer, vaccinated as well?

Faevern · 08/12/2021 18:27

Yes he did, he’s a disgrace and seems to be Teflon coated.

And what do you think will manage it other than a strict Lockdown?

@Quartz2208

What isnt being said is that South Africa has had fairly high levels of NPIs throughout this and Level 1 (which is where they are) than our Plan B. And it is still rife. Because there is actually very little that can stop it. It is all about managing our way through to try and spread it out as much as possible - still the same plan as Delta just tweaked for Omicron. We cannot outrun or escape this.
Exactly it’s going to hit fast all the shock faces over cases.. etc etc
GrandmasCat · 08/12/2021 18:28

Lies and more lies, who is keeping this piece of shit in power???

RestingMurderousFace · 08/12/2021 18:29

Want to punch him in his fat face every time he utters, "Omicron".

Dreamstate · 08/12/2021 18:29

For the first time im absolutely raging, almost in tears the government can fuck off.

Let us life our lives.

I tell you I couldn’t care about sodding Allegra right now

Still being managed

Is that what it was? He mumbled on for so long I’d not a clue what he’d said.

Probably because they want everyone to believe the vaccine is working, and because LFT's for everyone are bloody expensive
