Idiot

🇺🇸 It's Your Responsibility to Protect: ❤️ Yourself ❤️ Your Family ❤️ Other People ➡️ Follow CDCgov, WHCOVIDResponse, NIH, US_FDA, HHSGov and WHO Guidelines ✅ Get Fully Vaccinated for COVID19 ✅ Get Vaccinated for other Diseases ✅ Wear a Mask 😷 around other people

Or, how about those medical or scientific leaders stop with the overkill now. I’m leading toward joining thee activists protesting about the constant BS by government. More people die daily from things other than this virus.

Grounded again

As a family we have been so careful avoiding Covid. Now my twins are back at school we are all positive!! The school has gone back to mask wearing and social distancing. Covid is worse than it was before. Maybe the public should be told the truth !!!

If's,maybes and possibles. So guess work and shit stirring on behalf of Sky news.

What a scam! Are we having a lockdown this Christmas or not? Incompetent Moran. MPGeorgeEustice

A full scale nuclear war would also lead to a full lockdown, like seriously, enough of these scaremongering headlines. Do some actual reporting for once.

People are misinterpreting the data. Yes we have more cases and hospitalisations than this time last year, but we didn't have 66% of the population vaccinated. It does not mean we will have a worse winter. It means that we will continue to have a steady amount of cases. Endemic.

Surely the virus exposed to the vaccine is more likely to mutate to resist it, as it has been exposed to it. It's how evolution works. Vaccinating people who don't need it exposes more virus to it.

What a surprise from Sly news. More fear mongering

So full lockdown then, since the whole virus is vaccine resistant.

Oh here we go…

we could treat it instead

Considering the high amount of people you say have been vaccinated. I must say, they are doing a wonderful job! SMH 🤦‍♀️

Great 👍 another lockdown yah great 👍 we love lockdowns yah , cancel Christmas 🎅🏽 yah , anyway we got no food on the supermarket shelves yah ,

According to Dame Sarah Gilbert ‘a vaccine evading variant would require a change to the spike protein that significant as to make the virus ineffective’. Let’s follow the science and believe what she says.

Good, it's nothing more than this lousy country deserves. If you ignore the data charts where we're heading up whilst other countries are heding down, you've asked for what's coming. No skin off my nose, we can work from home here..

Absolute Jokers .

Where did this variant come from all of a sudden? Im not normally 1 to be a conspiracy theorist or agree with them but it amazes me how exactly the right type of variants keep popping ip when there is talk of a lockdown.....

What utter cobblers. There COULD also NOT be a varient that does this.

🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱😉🥱🥱🥱😉🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱and 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

In other words; back to square one

I must be a variant too, the vaccine didn't kill me, so i must be resistant to the vaccine. Henceforth, i must need to be grounded again ;)

None exist. Non-story.

They will find one, or invent one, which ever is more convenient.

The mix of the schoolboyish populism of BorisJohnson and the hard realities of public health responsibilities carry on killing 000’s of Brits.

There is definitely another surge happening but the government are down playing it because 1 the vacancies aren’t working quite as well as hoped, 2nd they can’t afford another lockdown and 3rd they’re letting herd immunity run it’s course.
