If you have an interest in understanding how we've got to where we are now, then this may be of interest.

From what I understand this virus will never go away but will get weaker and weaker while we get less and less affected by it as our immunity improves.

Omicron really could be the saviour, and it does feel like we are at a junction. If Omicron is mild, we are offered a potential way out of the pandemic as Jan describes. If it isn't, I fear we are a long way back to square one. Let's hope it's the former.
My own theory is that the UK's particular concern may be around whether Astra Zeneca, in particular, works against Omicron.

I hope you are all correct
At this point I would prefer to believe the scientists than the politicians

At the moment all any of us can do is weigh up all the advice then use our common sense and hope we make the correct decision.
I have yet to get my booster, I am almost housebound so I am not worried especially as my family have had theirs, I happily feel much safer at home than I would boosted and being out and about with a lot of virus carrying strangers.

It's all going to go wrong with the schools, I'm fully vaccinated, so is my wife and daughter, but my son has only had one jab, due to not being eligible until Oct,and his 12 weeks between doses is up in mid-January.
Whilst he is unlikely to be affected too bad if he caught it, I reckon the schools will cause a massive spike in a week or two.
My money is on groundhog Day, go to school, don't go to school, do go to school, don't.....unless of course it's labelled a business meeting

New NHS figures show that thousands of people injured in household accidents were admitted to English hospitals during Covid-19 lockdowns...
...numerous incidents, including eight people over the age of 90 who needed hospital treatment after falling from playground equipment, were recorded.
Data from NHS Digital showed that more than 5,300 people were admitted to hospital after falls from a range of playground attractions such as swings and slides. While the average age of these adventurers was nine-and-a-half years old, dozens of parents and grandparents were also injured.
So, no doubt about it, it's a very serious disease. Age, that is.

194 deaths yesterday and 16720 people in hospital. The figures aren't readily available anymore as a matter of government policy.

Warnings another wave could be on the way.
Let's hope they keep the jabs up
