1 death.....1.....I will build up to a panic give me a moment End of day that will be someone's family member so excuse the comment at the start but is this really any worse than the last few months
Dies with Omicron not of. We have no idea if they were vaccinated or what actually caused their demise. South Africa the largest Omicron breakout that has had it 4 times longer than us has had no deaths from that variant.
But lets keep the panic up yes, the people need to have something to worry about, it helps to cover up the real stories.

Indeed.But lets keep the panic up yes, the people need to have something to worry about, it helps to cover up the real stories.
This reporting is deeply unhelpful, and serves the singular purpose of stoking fear and panic. Even worse, to have it writ in stark red, as "BREAKING NEWS" is appalling.
Wholly reprehensible.

As with all the variants so far and all the variants to come, we will have to get used to this.
In other news, c 400 people will die of cancer today, c 460 from heart disease, c 180 from dementia and c 5 from road traffic accidents
Some stats on how many NHS appointments will have been cancelled today in favour of jabbing would be interesting, too.In other news, c 400 people will die of cancer today, c 460 from heart disease, c 180 from dementia and c 5 from road traffic accidents

Have you not read the news, only Covid deaths are important anymore. We need to spend all our efforts giving everyone yet another dose of a vaccine that nobody is sure actually works and forget about treating anything else.In other news, c 400 people will die of cancer today, c 460 from heart disease, c 180 from dementia and c 5 from road traffic accidents
If thousands of people die because their cancer treatments are cancelled it will be worth it to give 92 year old Mavis who is in a care home, s
ts in a nappy and has no idea where she is a few more months.Plus people were getting less terrified of Covid, and a terrified population are easier to control. It is clear the government don't believe their own propaganda when they are off having parties and laughing about it whilst telling people they cannot visit their dying parents in hospital.

I have deleted all my news apps, and don’t watch the news anymore. The scaremongering from the media has reached new heights.
Well that's one way to deal with it, I suppose.Do you put your fingers in your ears and shout 'la la la', too?
A break from the "news" is actually very cathartic.
But don't let that get in the way of your snark.

Bojo the clown tells us to be worried..................so the person who sadly passed away was likely to be extremely elderly, already at death's door, and happened to test positive for a more transmissible variant right before the end.
sick old person caught covid in hospital - clap for the nhsThoughts from me:
- they are still someone's family member, so condolences
- but one death of someone who has it...the only way it's newsworthy would be assuming statisticians have been desperate for someone to finally die of it, to validate their predictions
- I don't think there's any grand "plan" about why fear must be stoked (or indeed, what anyone will really achieve when fear has been sufficiently stoked) ..I think it's just lots of individuals in official roles who would rather err on the side of caution
- I saw a good Facebook meme: get the jab because it works, but get the booster because it doesn't work, and those with jabs are protected, but the unjabbed need to get jabbed to protect those that have already been jabbed!
Bizarre times still
(Ps my booster is booked)
