British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will meet Monday with top advisers to determine if he will impose new restrictions in the UK amid a COVID-19 surge driven by the Omicron variant, according to reports.

As Covid “cases” skyrocket worldwide, Covid deaths have actually declined by about 5-8% in the last three weeks.

All this s**t for something that is no more severe than a cold or mild flu for the vast, vast majority of people? And in which, when deaths do occur, 96 PERCENT are in people with 2 or more pre-existing co-morbidities and/or are ALREADY immunocompromised? Dear God on His throne.

I’d guess that they will come out with restrictions.

If for no objective reason (like a real risk of hospitals being overwhelmed), they will likely want to do “something” to cover their butts politically, against criticism as case totals mount.

“Churchill is rolling in his grave.”

No kidding. I used to think that Boris Johnson has some potential. Boy, was I wrong.

This is all a distraction from Johnson’s failings as PM.
He is a liar, a buffoon and a fake Conservative.
Off with his political head.
