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.”

Ugh.. thanks for reminding me. A man at one of our gatherings went on and on about how much he enjoyed his pedicure.. that his wife talked him into. He probably doesn’t get to drive without her permission either. I was trying to avoid judgement, but really. Your pics sum it up.
We won battle after battle with troops led by men who didn’t graduate high school. Now the navy can’t get through a busy shipping yard without irreparable damage.
That’s cold!
Then beam me up!
How will they get their Christmas haggis?
