The big wave is coming and we can't stop it. We just have to brace ourselves and hope for the best. Good luck everyone.

This will be the 4th wave I think ?
Hopefully the last.

@ClaudiaWankleman

The daily number of infections rose by almost 30,000 yesterday. he daily rate could easily reach 400,00 - it is what happens once an exponential rise gets going, particularly since millions in the UK are still unvaccinated.

To get 400,000 cases a day for any period of time would imply 1m+ people were actually being infected every day. That's implausible in the UK in my opinion.

Given that people who have been vaccinated twice but have not had a booster, have very little protection, re-infections are likely to be common and such high totals may well be seen for a while.

Channel 5 news are covering it

DementedPanda · 15/12/2021 17:03

It's not on BBC?

Seriouslymole · 15/12/2021 17:04

Political correspondent on the BBC says he's expecting the PM to concentrate on the "need to get boosters" and they are "not expecting any new restrictions or guidance".

What an absolute waste of time. I think the booster message is well and truly out there. I think our esteemed dickhead leader just likes playing at being a statesman, which very sadly he is not in any of our wildest dreams.

How lovely of boris to turn up on time...again.
Not sure why the press bother sticking around. They should all stand up and walk out.

Winter recess tomorrow maybe we’ll get a reprieve

Ghoulette · 15/12/2021 17:05

Another session for BJ to hear the sound of his own voice while doing absolutely fuck all.

PussyCatEatingPigsInBlankets · 15/12/2021 17:06

tick tock...
is he having an emergency dump?!?

MsFogi · 15/12/2021 17:07

What a statesman. I think we can all agree that we can overlook the parties, laziness, arrogance, shagging around etc etc as long as Mr Johnson continues to hold press conferences to remind us of what an excellent leader he is.

It’s really quite unlikely that 1m+ people could be infected daily for any sustained period of time.

NinaProudman2022 · 15/12/2021 17:08

BBC News can’t stand had lateness.
