It makes me really sad to see how worried people still get despite being double or even triple jabbed, for a virus that even with no jabs, has a death rate of around 0.004% for your average person. What more will it take? Absolute one of the worst things to come from this pandemic, how much fear has been drilled into people that clearly can't be undone, however unjustified it was in the first place. The fact we have articles on 'new variants' that are symptomless, says it all. Who bleeping cares then?

We might fear for people that are vulnerable to covid. It doesn't seem absurd to me to try to not give covid to people who are at risk. Especially when hospital loads are growing which is the case where I live. Everybody has different reasons to act a certain way and makes the best choice according to their views.

Having to isolate and having staff going off sick is your employers problem not yours, so I wouldn't feel stressed about that. I feel guilty letting colleagues down, but it is what it is right now, and since time began workplaces have been short staffed at times and others have had to pick up the slack - that's life!
You've said you're stressed and worried, so I'd guess that's why you have a headache and feel tired. We've forgotten what normal emotions are and immediately go to covid for every little ailment now

100% work sickness is a business problem.

I am shocked so many businesses force their employees to find cover themselves for absences due to illness etc.

It should be the managers job to find cover if short staffed!

Totally agree! I don’t go about in fear but certainly have an awareness of not wishing to pass it to someone vulnerable.

I thought it was the delta variant brewing up in Kent around this time last year but can't remember - it's all blurred into ione

It's Christmas! It wouldn't be right unless Santa predictably brought us a nicely timed variant 😂

It was first detected last year though, and there's still only a confirmed handful of cases.
It seems that for a population of over 2 million, that Botswana are doing just fine.
When will people learn to stop panicking!

South Africa is a huge place though, so if they're amalgamating those figures across all the countries then maybe that why they're selling high cases.
I think nearly 3 million cases and 89k deaths out of 59 million isn't bad though.
Even if you accounted for dodgy figures and added large numbers it still isn't bad considering they have dealt with with pretty much alone and with very low vaccine rate.. but then we know what they were using to help themselves with recovery don't we.... 😉

Which one are you referring to that was detected last year? The B.1.1.529 has only recently been spotted.

A lot of feathers being ruffled I hope we’re not heading for another lockdown
