Exponential growth, BUT you can still go to panto? 🤦🏻♂️
As a nation, we’re approaching the idyllic halcyon period between the moment the brakes get slammed on for an emergency stop, and the moment we fly through the windscreen (because, as you know, seatbelts are only for wimps).

I just heard @SCrabbPembs on #DailyPolitics saying Plan B measures were already in effect in Wales and hadn’t curbed the spread of Delta (which is true).
Logic might then suggest, that FAR greater restrictions might be needed to curb the spread of a MORE transmissible virus? 🤔

Apparently not. It seems that (for now) is just crazy talk among our political class. 🤷🏻♂️
Watching the news coverage on the Plan B shenanigans tomorrow is just surreal. 🤦🏻♂️
“Will there need to be more restrictions before Christmas?”
Abso-fucking-lutely...and you may quote me. 🤬

Last Thursday morning, I texted the following (see screenshots) to a friend via WhatsApp.
Very gently, she told me I was panicking about nothing.
About 28 hours later, Nicola Sturgeon used the term “tsunami” related to #Omicron.
My friend no longer regards me as an alarmist.

I don’t have a crystal ball.
Wait, actually dammit, I have two of them, but only as photography props. 📷 😎
Under normal circumstances, I can’t predict the future, but I do understand the implications of exponential growth.
A hard rain’s a-gonna fall. 😬

Am I utterly scunnered with Covid? Yes.
Would I like a normal Christmas? Yes.

The collective denial about the current situation is staggering to behold.
The #Omicron bullet has already been fired, from a distance.
It’s probably better to duck for cover if you spot the sniper, rather than waiting until you actually hear the gunshot.
