Scots ‘strongly urged’ to defer Christmas parties after Omicron outbreaks
The Guardian ^ | Thu 9 Dec 2021 | Libby Brooks

Scotland’s national public health body is “strongly urging” people to cancel Christmas parties after a number of Omicron outbreaks linked to festive get-togethers.

Dr Nick Phin, the director of public health science and medical director at Public Health Scotland (PHS), said: “There is much that we still need to learn about Omicron, but early evidence suggests that this new Covid variant is much more transmissible. The impact of this transmissibility has been seen in recent weeks, with a number of Omicron outbreaks linked to parties.

“We still need to learn more about the severity of disease caused by Omicron and the effectiveness of vaccines, but there are important things that we can do to help protect ourselves and our families now. To help minimise the further spread of Covid-19, and Omicron in particular, I would strongly urge people to defer their Christmas parties to another time.”

For the life of me, I’ll never understand how the Scots became such pussies, given their lineage. Same with the Irish, and Australians.

Interesting how Covid-9 is only spread during CHRISTMAS, EASTER, GOOD FRIDAY, and all Patriotic Holidays.
