1/ Yet another record tally of reported cases in 🏴 today - reflecting fact that Omicron is very, very infectious.
Likelihood of getting it just now if you mix with others is high.
💉 Tho remember - being boosted gives you significant protection against becoming v ill with it

2/ Just as notable than cases is the steep rise in hospital occupancy, the largest single day increase in a while - a reminder that even if there is a lower % hospitalised through Omicron, sheer volume will still put acute pressure on NHS - and result in serious illness for many
3/ Concerning those these numbers are, they would be even higher but for good compliance with public health advice.
As we approach the New Year, I am appealing to everyone to keep following this advice - for you own sake and also to help the NHS…

2/ It is likely that we will see cases rise further in days ahead as the faster spreading Omicron wave continues (and the lag in test results comes through system).
Worth remembering tho that numbers would be higher still but for compliance with guidance issued in run up to Xmas

3/ Soaring case numbers remind us why we shouldn’t underestimate impact of Omicron.
Even if % of cases needing hospital care much lower than for previous strains of virus, v high numbers will still put massive strain on NHS, and disrupt economy through staff absences
