“You can’t chase an exponential virus” with a govt rollout of boosters alone. You need to do more IMMEDIATELY to stop the exponential growth. #Omicron doubling in 🇬🇧 every 1.7 days ➡️ BoJo’s booster-only plan cannot stop fast enough. The political willpower to save lives matters. 
2) UK’s growth also isn’t even the fastest anymore. Denmark has now topped it at 1.6 days per doubling of #Omicron.

3) BoJo is right that we need to set aside whether it’s “mild” or not (it’s no proven, and many epidemiologists doubt it). The acceleration of #Omicron is what will kill more.

4) Keep in mind — an exponentially increasing epidemic of a more contagious virus will usually always kill more than a virus that is merely more severe but not more transmissible. The exponential math will be more dangerous in the end—even if 1/10th the severity & 2x contagious.

5) To be clear—There’s lots we can do without stay at home orders: indoor mask mandates, mass testS, booster entry passes; mass distributed N95 KN95/ KF94/ FFP2/FFP3 masks, install HEPA filters, UV indoor upgrades, tougher ventilation standards in schools and businesses—ALL OF IT
