London’s famed New Year’s Eve celebration in Trafalgar Square has been canceled over Omicron.

The planned massive party was called off by London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who feared a major live event could be a super-spreader of the highly transmissible COVID-19 variant capable of overwhelming the UK’s National Health Service hospital system

Everyone is going full retardation all over the world

We certainly wouldn’t want anyone to catch cold.

What a weak and apathetically cowardly culture.

If Omicron is surging cancelling things will make NO DIFFERENCE

Zero deaths

[Dr. Ursus]

Well DeBasio’s having his New Years Times square as his farewell celebration so that won’t get cancelled.

What about the Muslim Call to Prayer in London? Can Muslims gather ten inches apart as usual? Just askin’.

Are governments running out of money?
Using covid as an excuse not to do things?

It’s the last dying gasp of tyranny trying to maintain it’s grip on power and control.

> One hospitalized from it

My older bro’s neighbor works as a nurse at Houston Methodist Hospital. She told him the situation there is crazy with the increase in the number of COVID patients in the past 10 days. I believe that as of two days ago Omicron accounted for about 50% of the hospitalized cases in Houston. It is probably quite a bit higher than that now.

Because as we all know, fireworks can spread covid.

Having said that, my opinion about fireworks shows is the same as parades.....once you’ve seen one...you’ve seen all of ‘em.

Betcha New Year’s still happens!

That’s what cracks me up about people who very studiously take video of fireworks shows on their phones.

Just put the phone away and enjoy the show. It’s not like they’re not going to do it again.

(Then again these days, who knows?)

“people who very studiously take video of fireworks shows on their phones”

And how many times are they gonna watch that...none?

I’m beginning to understand why there was a French Revolution!

What does your older bro’s neighbor’s older bro say about it?

[FreeperCell]

Yes it is.
