    The charts on the Spectator website are quite revealing:

    As the number of cases (mostly omicron variant) has rocketed, the number of people in hospital continues to fall.

    In England, the patients in hospital is plateauing while the cases have spiked.

    Who is getting omicron variant? It appears to be the under 60s, especially the under 40s.

    Is it not the case that most of the unvaccinated are the under 40s?
    According to the EFL only 31 per cent of footballers are vaccinated, so 20 of the 36 EFL matches last weekend were off.
    So those least likely to be hospitalised are the ones spreading omicron.

    The latest information on Sky News (straight from the HSA) on the deadly new strain of Covid overwhelming our NHS

    In Britain, 12 people infected with Omicron have died, while 104 people with the variant are in hospital, according to latest figures from the UK Health Security Agency.

    This is Britain notice, not just England. If these figures are accurate i think we might just survive <laugh>

    I'm singing Happy Birthday to baby Jesus. It's not much, but even after 2,000 years, I reckon I still get more cards and pressies than he does.

    At this time of year, it's nice to think of those less fortunate, like the sweet baby jesus.

    Highly likely that the deceased and his stepson had argued about the subject and the stepson had received all his jabs and boosters. Opportunity not to be missed by BJ to boost the number of guinea pigs willing to try out one of these experimental vaccines; even though we keep being told they won't protect from the increasing number of new variants

    Instead of pouring money into these vaccine contracts (and having to justify it in order to profit from it), ruining the economy and pumping more and more into compensation payments, they should have poured more money into the progress being made on the cures. Due to the lack of investment in advancement and mass production of the highly successful cures, these cures are far too expensive for anyone but the very rich

    From my viewpoit, Governments have either been ignorant in backing the wrong horse, and/or criminal in forcing experimental vaccines on those unsuspecting innocent people (especially children) who do not need protection but can be vulnerable to the vaccines. Their treatment of unvaccinated people as leppers is unforgivable, as is their suppression of any unfortunate results from the vaccines. And I personally know of a few that have been kept out of the news when their sudden strokes, paralysis and deaths have occurred shortly after being vaccinated. If that small sample were to be applied world wide, I dread to think how many have been kept quiet. I also know of people who suffered so much from the first jab, they are not having their boosters. I wonder what the stats are on these. We will never know because they are covered up and never appear in any stats

    It is a fact that leading scientists are not in full agreement about these vaccines and the Governments are led by whichever ones suit their purpose. Anyone who takes any notice of those eminent scientists who tell the truth about the dangers of the vaccines are labelled conspiracy theorists or accused of taking notice of the conspiracy theorists; a very defencive stance I think

    Anyone who is not the slightest suspicious about the Governments' agendas must have a lot more faith in Governments than I was once led to believe
