[Barney_Rubble]

[shahmustafa]

Went to sainsburys 40% of shopper's not wearing masks🤔

[ItIsGonnaGetWayWorse]

Yes, because answers from MSM is so valuable these days

[doubleoseven]

I eat
Covid-19 for breakfast
Delta variant for lunch
And Omicron for dinner!

[bradfordpal]

When can I get a booster for Taliban strain ?? It’s coming people !!

[tomthumb]

I always skip the Johnson bits. He lies all the time, so it's a waste of time listening to him.

[tokkelcs]

Delta omicron
=
Media control ..

[martinleung]

Any indication that the booster will work so no more further booster will be required? Or it will be like a booster is required every six months? Good income source for vaccine manufacturers.

VACCINE EVASION!!!

Policy measures SHOULD be precautionary rather than 'wait & see' if we're to not repeat Christmas 2020 which resulted in thousands of deaths, lockdown & more economic damage.

RoI announced precautionary measures it would be wise to implement here NOW imo

[cassandrahuskey]

Didn't even listen, just came here to thumbs down !

[gibbletronic]

I hope that I catch omicron, so I can bolster my natural immunity against a future variant that's more dangerous, for relatively little risk now.

[pitbullslueth]

What answers? They've no better idea than we have, 'if in doubt, jab em' no, get lost Booster Boris, enough

[vince]

WHO reports no Omicron deaths to date.

[pitbullslueth]

They were mentioning boosters long before they discovered 'Omicron'

[oldnikonian]

An anagram of Omicron = moronic

An anagram of delta omicron = media control

Put them together and we have moronic media control.

Uncanny eh?

[roserose-gtif]

The anagram of omincron is well known now so no more of it please!! I would like to know who named it though as they have a good sense of humour and stating the obvious in a sly way 👍

[lomeli]

I went to 40 different churches and they all wanted my head under water. I wanted a dry baptizm. On my first Catholic baptizm I wasn't there.

[ellenoir]

No more news on the Michigan shooter and his ethnicity

[dibaygautam]

I am sure Boris is going to make same mistake as last 3 times
