LONDON — Omicron is “the most significant threat” to public health in the U.K., authorities warned Wednesday, as the World Health Organization cautioned that the highly contagious Covid-19 variant was spreading at an unprecedented rate.
Britain reported 59,610 new Covid infections on Tuesday, the highest figure since early January and the fifth highest recorded since the outbreak of the pandemic in March last year. More than 5,300 cases of omicron have been recorded in the U.K., with 10 people hospitalized. One person died after contracting the variant.
New regulations intended to help slow the spread of omicron, including masks in public places and the use of Covid-19 passes for some venues, passed in Parliament on Tuesday evening. However, scores of Conservative lawmakers refused to back the new measures.
Some called the new measures too severe and questioned the introduction of a certificate of vaccination or proof of a negative Covid test to enter some venues.
“We are not a 'papers, please' society. This is not Nazi Germany,” Conservative lawmaker Marcus Fysh told BBC radio on Monday.
The comment led to pushback both in Parliament and on social media, where the term Nazi Germany trended, and Fysh later apologized for the comparison in a piece he wrote for London’s Jewish Chronicle newspaper.

The once-brave/honorable British “leaders” do love their fear porn.

QUICK!
Airdrop in the Kleenex!

First described as very mild.
Someone’s lying and it’s the Vaxcist.
London Administrative State - bump for later....

Yeah, whatever. 🥱
Fortunately, you vaxxed 80% of the population and they’re now immune. Right? Right?
Why? Why is it considered a threat at all, let alone "the most significant threat?" Because it's covid? I guess covid has become the bogeyman incarnate.
The symptoms are reported to be relatively mild. If anything Omicron looks to be a blessing not a threat. Consider, thousands could catch and easily recover from covid, generating natural immunity.
Of course widespread natural immunity doesn't feed the vax beast so... FEAR FEAR FEAR! GET VAXXED, GET BOOSTED! VAX/BOOST YOUR KIDS!... :-/
Puh- leeze.
This is the flu.

60,000 cases and only 10 are hospitalized, and 1 died WITH onion, and this is the most ‘significant variant evah?” Tylenol is deadlier!
Just wait until ‘zetabooftah’ shows up.
