It's not great for the rest of us, but I think there's a lot more apathy about Covid now. I travelled on the underground yesterday for the first time in ages. Masks are required, but only 50% of people we wearing them and TfL staff clearly didnt' give a s**t either.
The new Omicron variant is still an unknown quantity. As usual, we won't know if it is genuinely important until it's too late to do anything about it. It might be another Delta which will race through the population, or a Beta which never really got going despite some worthwhile mutations.
The government isn't much better off at telling what's going to happen with Omicron than we are. So we'll just have to put up with their best guess and either:
a) Wear masks for a bit
b) Endure lockdown for a bit
c) Sit in a dark corner with buckets over our heads for two weeks
Option c) would probably stop Covid dead in its tracks, and two weeks of starvation would reduce the obesity problem significantly too. But it would result in a nation wide bucket shortage and none of the Tory party donors has a monopoly on buckets (yet).
Just my random ramblings,
