UKHSA Calls For “Stringent National Measures” to Fight Omicron Variant
The U.K. Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has advised the Government that “stringent national measures” should be imposed by December 18th to stop the rapid spread of the Omicron variant, and ensure that the NHS is not overrun by Covid hospital admissions. Health Secretary Sajid Javid was warned by the UKHSA that, although the new variant appears to be less dangerous than the Delta strain, 5,000 people a day could be hospitalised because of the virus, and that further restrictions may have to come sooner rather than later. The Guardian has the story.
Sajid Javid, the Health Secretary, received a presentation from the UKHSA on Tuesday warning that even if the new Omicron variant leads to less serious disease than Delta, it risks overwhelming the NHS with 5,000 people admitted to hospital a day.
In an interview with the Guardian, the epidemiologist Professor Neil Ferguson said the total could be double that number.
No 10 insisted there were no imminent plans to bring in more measures after ‘Plan B’ measures were announced for England this week but Michael Gove, who chaired a Cobra meeting on Friday, said the Government had been presented with some “very challenging information” about the speed of the spread.
The Guardian has seen leaked advice from UKHSA for Javid marked “official, sensitive” saying: “The key point is that under a range of plausible scenarios, stringent action is needed on or before December 18th, 2021, if doubling times stay at 2.5 days. Even if doubling times rise to around 5 days, stringent action is likely still needed in December.”
It adds: “The rapid spread of Omicron means that action to limit pressures on the health system might have to come earlier than intuition suggests.” Its calculations suggest that even if Omicron causes a less severe hospitalisation rate of 1% or 0.5% compared with Delta’s 1.5%, then “stringent national measures” would be needed by December 18th at the latest.
On the current trajectory of 2.5 days doubling time, and without any further restrictions, the document warns that Omicron cases could be at 248,000 cases a day by December 19th. It also stresses that the figures are not a projection but an estimate of Omicron prevalence and doubling times seen in the U.K. so far.
The document does not detail what the necessary curbs would be but defines “stringent national measures” as those that bring the R number below one.
Boris Johnson triggered ‘Plan B’ this week including more wide-ranging mask mandates, asking people to work from home and Covid passports for big venues but a senior Whitehall source said few inside UKHSA believe this will have much effect on slowing the spread of the variant.
Further measures, now being referred to as ‘Plan C’, could include stricter isolation requirements for contacts of Covid cases, masks in pubs, shutting hospitality entirely, more restrictions on visitors to care homes and hospitals or even the return of curbs on social contact.

Just say NO!!!
It’s all BS.
Of course they are going to say no. The report only serves the purpose of trying to make the government look moderate and sensible by not giving in to the lunatic demands of some hysterical so called scientists.
We are all supposed now to go: oh well, at least this government doesn’t give in to every demand by the scientists, imagine if Starmer were in charge…
It’s just part of the manipulation of the public.
Catching a cold is now illegal.
Why is anybody still listening to Professor Pantsdown? He has literally never been right about anything in his entire career
During a lecture by Neil Ferguson a few weeks ago, it was stormed by Piers Corbyn and other protesters, and filmed. In it he was cornered and he nonchalantly and blatantly admitted that he broke lockdown rules LOADS of times!
Thats because Covid is not real,the flu on mild steroids ,Oddly though when it struck loads of old people who normally got ill and died weirdly got got ill and died Look out kids .So now one half of the world has to stop one half of the world from catching a cold .However 9 million people will starve to death globally this year but still no vaccine for them or indeed food .Are they worried about Covid in Ethiopia this Christmas…. ,probs not.Fuck off Ferguson you twat !!
Surely that one was Chris Whitty? There was a woman at a Neil Ferguson Stand on the Stage who shouted out that he was a murderer, and then she ran away.
He served Fauci’s and Gates’ interests very well and is funded by the CCP grants at Imperial and by Gates.His wild computer generated wild and false predictions have been used before to stir panic – this seem to be why he is always the darling of the propaganda Media and Government
He was 100% correct in calculating he’d be getting a nice fat salary.
Plus him and his research team have received over 100 million in funding from Mr Gates, who do you think this man owes his allegience too?.
He is to predictions what the Taliban are to female emancipation.
“Oh fuck off!!”
The response of my wife when seeing this on the tv
I like this. It’s much better than when earnest types start arguing with the telly about “the science”.
“Oh fuck right off!!!* was my retort too!
You have a good wife.
Leaked? No, released deliberately. All part of the psychological warfare plan.
Yep. Preparing the public, who will be resigned to another lockdown when it comes.
and will obediently obey it – God help us
This was the situation last Christmas, it seems this Christmas may require similar level of subterfuge. A Visit from Granny ‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through tier four Not a household was mixing, the PM had implored ; The presents were posted; wrapped with such care, Hopes dashed that relatives soon would be there; The children were dreaming as they lay in their beds; While visions of better years danced in their heads; And mum, lockdown sceptic, and I with my views, Had just settled down for the BBC news, When out on the drive we heard boxes clatter , We sprang from our chairs to see what was the matter. Away to the windows we flew like a flash, We realised Granny had done a mad dash. The lights from the homes on the road where we live, Shone a beam on the presents Granny wanted to give. When our small children’s wondering eyes did appear, It wasn’t a dream, there Granny was here! With a little commotion, we had to be quick, We hustled in Granny our movements were slick. More rapid than eagles we helped hide her shame, She hugged all the children and called… Read more »
That was heartwarming! Well done!
A different perspective, Hyenas with face masks?
Having watched a minute of this guy you can just tell “the lights are on but nobody’s home” 🤦♂️
I also checked out the guy’s channel. In another video his toddler daughter is drinking from a bird bath.
The cognitive dissonance I feel watching – on the one hand a guy on his own in the wild wearing a face mask – vs his daughter drinking from a bath that wild animals shit into – is shockingly astounding.
I stand by my thesis the guy is a cretin.
Lol I don’t think anyone could disagree with your analysis
Watch the whole video. You’ll change your mind.
It looks like they’re curious as to what it is. I saw a guide dog with the same reaction, the blind lady was getting very anxious at the dog’s reluctance to move, he was looking at faces with masks on, in the shopping centre, I told her what he was looking at and she was grateful to find out what was confusing her dog.
You can imagine what it does to children!
Yep, the response from children when you smile at them, when they are with parents that are napped up and largely ignoring them, is incredible!
There can be no doubt that these Satanic fuckers are trying their level best to destroy Xmas and the social bonds.
Ignore them and have a massive party!
Reported deaths in Britain “with Covid” (which I think means with SARSCoV2) have been falling for a month. Here is a graph showing the 7-day rolling average, got from OurWorldInData.org.
To summarise: the government’s “Do this, do that” stuff has zero to do with protecting anyone from the lergy; and their justification for it is a big lie.
2 a day per million! I can see why it’s an emergency haha
At this rate it would take 1370 years to get 1000000 deaths.
Ivor Cummins has been pointing this out in statistics and graphs – in increasing exasperation – for nearly 18 months.
Most will say”Ivor who?” or “Do you mean Dom?”.
We have to accept that the truth has always been out there and the sad truth is that the sheepie have either refused to look or prefer the BBC.
What can be done – the blatantly false and childish propaganda works every time. People still prefer the fabrications of the BBC to the evidence of their own eyes and conversations.
By almost 2 years in with almost no let up they are completely brainwashed
I have had to accept that it is utterly pointless trying to persuade people who I formerly considered to be intelligent that they are being misled, lied to and propagandised on a daily basis.
A current vote on Change.org shows that 306,272 people so far have signed a petition to “Close school/colleges/universities for an appropriate amount of time amidst COVID19”.
Hopefully it’s just all teachers.
How utterly disheartening and how utterly infuriating.
Fortunately, all petitions go into the WPB file ( like complaints to the BBC).
If they are trying to crash western economies, variants could go on until this happens
I’m convinced this is the real game. Drive hyperinflation, make food too expensive for people to buy. Then mysteriously the gas and electric are cut off and the power companies can’t afford to fix it (see recent issues in Aberdeen which were a practice run), the internet goes to mobile data only so users can be tracked (O2 are in on this, see most recent adverts). Govt offers to shelter people temporarily in their newly built Cross shaped camps. In five years, houses are so dilapidated and people have no money to spend on doing them up, so they gratefully accept a place in the govts new population centres in return for signing over all they own. Everything else bulldozed. No need to travel and nowhere to go anyway. Job done.
Those who want to continue to use phones during an indefinite electrical blackout (not just daily power cuts) will have to charge the batteries in them somehow.
Having a solar panel plus battery (the battery sometimes misleadingly described as a “solar generator”) is one way.
Another way is available if they have a car, namely to use its engine as a generator. To do this, they would do well to stock up on car fuel NOW, to check that their car’s 12V sockets are in working order, and to make sure they have a 12V to 230V converter, or a 12V charger cable, or maybe they have a 5V powered USB socket in their car already.
Remember, kiddies:
The reason it doesn’t apply to diesel is that diesel does not explode unlike petrol.
“Those who want to continue to use phones during an indefinite electrical blackout (not just daily power cuts) will have to charge the batteries in them somehow.”
Can be charged up by riding a fixed bicycle in your living room that generates enough electricity. Have you not seen those wind-up torches?
You can use an old-fashioned ‘plug into a socket in the wall’ phone during a power cut. It receives the small charge it needs directly from the exchange. I have kept an old BT handset just for whenever we get one of our (frequent) power outages here.
Always assuming the exchange isn’t down. Of course.
Think I’m going to award this site with the most ‘miserable, negative and defeatist’ comments award of the year. I’ve never read so many miserable comments by people just waiting for the worst. No optimism anywhere. The main reason I only cone here about once a week now.
Hear hear. Sometimes the language on this site is as bad as that of the lockdown zealots, just with a few words swapped. Also the DS’s choice of articles, some of which are parroting the lockdown narrative. I have emailed the DS about this. Yes, we have to be realistic, but I’m close to abandoning this site for the same reason.
“Optimism” based on what exactly?
You were here on Thursday. That makes twice this week so far.
Indeed – it makes sense.
“see recent issues in Aberdeen which were a practice run”
I too thought that was highly suspicious and deliberate
That is the idea – the elites can then scoop up the world’s wealth at which point they can scrap Fiat currencies and introduce their planned total control digital monetary system – they need ti maximise the redistribution from the middle-class to the Banks Corporates and Billionaires ( already going on at a huge rate) to make this work – 2006 is offered as the crucial year by Dr David Martin.
Digital currency and control require the mass vaccination. What is difficult to assess is whether it is all going according to the meticulous plan devised by the extraordinary concentration of Global wealth and power behind the Great Reset . Pharma is the key player obviously – all those involved including Black Rock and Vanguard are heavily invested and have bet on vast ‘future proofed’ financial gains from this endless global vaccination ‘project’ and the profits to come form the diabolically planned forced vaccination of the entire planet with a constant stream of pharma products – “forever”.
Very few healthy people are admitted to hospital with a common cold.
“No Crimo”, “Moronic”, “Omicron” or whatever it’s called has very mild symptoms akin to the common cold.
The NHS is always “overwhelmed” every winter.
This will go on forever until enough people join the Resistance and not be Collaborators.
Looks like the figures aren’t racking up for the jabs. Would look bad if it got out that there are ‘vaccines’ in storage around the country as well as PPE.
I recommend everyone book a jab asap. Don’t turn up and book another one and repeat. If enough people do this it will bring the system to it’s knees
Enough aren’t even prepared to go maskless let alone do something like that.
Well I’m doing my bit 🙂
Or simply provide endless employment for the jabbers. At our expense.
If enough people get jabbed now and suffer harsh injuries as a result, the NHS would definitely be overwhelmed. Great excuse for another lockdown.
You have to ask why they are panicking over something that is no worse than a cold.
Perhaps it’s because (a) they know they have ruined the immune system of every single person who has taken even a single jab so a simple cold is likely to cause them major problems. Or it’s (b) because they know they’ve done (a) above but they HAVE to keep jabbing to give people any immune system, no matter how short-lived, and are expecting a massive rise in non-covid hospitalisations from the nasty side effects of said jabs.
There have been many in SAG, the government and of course in MSM that have been itching like crazy to restore heavier restrictions ever since ‘freedom day’ and the moronic strain was all they needed to flick us backwards. Their eyes must have lit up like lottery winners as soon as it was ‘discovered’.
Theyre not panicking they are running a pre-wargamed scam on you. They KNOW its all bullshit, but Westminster is full of morons who will do and say and go along with anything, no matter how obscene – like jabbing kids with experimental gene therapy on an industrial scale for no good reason. It doesnt get any lower than that. They believe that two plus two equals five because it pays well to be this way. Ditto for the people running this site. They all speak the two plus two equals five language, nodding away in the face of lies because someone supposedly high up i saying it, and they all happily believe in things which are bvuiosly untrue. The people in the government are just going through the motions. The endgame is vaccine passports and the death of freedom.

I learned a new word recently.
Iatocracy – roughly translated means rule by doctors/experts.
This seems to be what we’re in and I’m not liking it.
They should get back in their box. Failing that, put them in a room with Dr Wishart from the latest Planet Normal whose quiet desperation about the government’s failure even to acknowledge a report on the state of cancer services currently.
Plan C would set them back even further.
In most capital and other important cities in the world, go to the most expensive and exclusive residential areas, often at the top of hills, and they will be full of medics. From memory I think Vance Packard made this observation half a century ago.
Sorry to be a pedant – but I think it should have another “r” in it. The Greek word for doctor-related/medical is “iatro” (as in iatrogenic)
@Jo – You’re 100% right. But for some reason the word “iatocracy” seems to be taking off, for example here in the BMJ.
So the Housing and “Levelling Up” Secretary chairs COBRA meetings now.
What??
Wikipedia get their article on this department hopefully confused. Michael Gove is not the deputy prime minister. (Not officially anyway. Dominic Raab is.) Gove is number 7 in the official cabinet ranking.
He’s not even based in the Cabinet Office any more. His office is on Marsham Street.
Anybody got any ideas on who might be telling Dominic Cummings the dates on which parties have been held at Number 10 since he left? (wink) Clue: perhaps it’s someone who is well known to be Cummings’s “little man”, who publicly knifed Boris Johnson once before (although next time it won’t be so public), and who if he himself gets to be prime minister (which could happen before Christmas) will bring Cummings back as the PM’s chief adviser like a shot.
“Wikipedia get their article on this department hopefully confused. Michael Gove is not the deputy prime minister.”
Rather amusing of Gove to change that, don’t you think?
Gove didn’t say what the challenging information was. My guess? Sniffer dogs on all gov property.
So what?
Where’s the evidence of severe issues with this disease compared to the myriad of other respiratory illnesses that have been circulating this autumn.
The very challenging information is the news that the NHS is here to protect us. We are not here to protect the NHS.
The new German health Minister is peddling Omicron as being extremely dangerous for children.
Completely invented, but it does the trick, of course.
I could fucking scream. Why are they still listening to Ferguson!! I know its cos he fits their scaremongering agenda but come on.
Feel free to write to him: neil.ferguson@imperial.ac.uk

There a fable about a boy who cried wolf.
Now that there has been a run on the vaccination centres, I hope we are looking out for the spike in cases about 7 days hence from all the people who picked up Covid going to get vaccinated.
And that’s because they are staffed by people who believe in masks and can’t get their head around the idea that moving a load of people into one location is likely to mean the air in that location is infectious.
“plausible scenarios,”
Really
Where was that picture taken? It needs to be stickered with “get this scaremongering off our streets”. Spreading fast. SO WHAT????
My brain asked if that was a real poster! It’s outrageous!
Well, you can easily find out who the advertising agency is. Next protest round at their office? Or get a key, open up the panels, remove poster, put in bin.
Just looking at the UKHSA notes under the Guardian graphic:
“This is not a projection. This purely illustrates timings based on our estimates of Omicron prevalence now and doubling times seen in the UK so far.” – So it has as much realism about it as the graph of doom from September or October last year.
“Assumptions: … no age mix adjustment, … no susceptible depletion”. – Looks like they have missed out some pretty important factors there. I guess that susceptible depletion means the variant running out of people who are susceptible to it. If they are ignoring that, and if (as I read recently, sorry cannot remember where) each variant only really gets to a modest segment of the population, their numbers have a good chance of being way over the top.
I hope someone tells Sajid that there is a good chance these scary numbers are a load of rubbish.
Yes, do it quick before Moronic is found to be not very dangerous at all! How can Doris deny us Hanukkah after last year? They will prime us for after New Year.
My 86 year old mother who is intrinsically programmed to “do as she’s told” from an early age and despises confrontation of any sort, has dispensed with her mask in shops. I got her an exemption badge but she doesn’t even wear that and told me that she’s “had enough” and won’t be wearing one and “that’s that”. She went to a funeral this week where she was the only one in the congregation maskless. A friend offered her one and my mum said, “No thanks”. There is hope, especially if you knew my mother’s natural deference to authority and rules.
The problem isn’t covid. The problem is the massive pressure that’s currently on the NHS even though we’ve not quite entered the traditional winter increase in demand. Why the NHS is under such non-covid pressure would appear to be a rather important question.
It would be an important question. My even more important question though is why does the state of the NHS determine whether or not I can live my life freely as I choose to?
Do the morons ever wake up to this theatre? I mean, what if they don’t?
Sajid Javid, the Health Secretary, received a presentation from the UKHSA on Tuesday warning that even if the new Omicron variant leads to less serious disease than Delta, it risks overwhelming the NHS with 5,000 people admitted to hospital a day. Arent you sick of all these lame reasons for this tyranny. They are causing destruction deliberately and the rationale they serve up is WEAK. If the NHS cant cope, its because the people running it and the govenrment are crap at their jobs and fulfilling nefarious agendas and have been running the NHS into the ground for decades. With all the money being thrown at the NHS there is no excuse for this and the notion we should pay for their malfeasance with our freedom is absurd. These are crimes and these people need bringing down plain and simple. Theyre a bunch of traitors drunk on power, being egged on by the banksters and big pharma and all the rest of the criminal entities with their claws in the British government. This is fascism. They are murdering and maiming British people with these hideous needless injections and the removal of normal health care and midazolam and remdesevir and ventilators… Read more »
Agree 100% with the analysis of the “Health Emergency”, the criminals and the useful idiot experts actually making this happen.
All behind this – and the ones just carrying out orders – are committing crimes against humanity.
Oh for a Nuremberg 2. Befehl Ist Befehl won’t wash this time either.
Whist I pray for this to happen, they will get their just desserts in Hell come what may. In their shoes I’d be a teeny bit worried about meeting my maker.
FWIW I disagree with your assessment of the DS.
At the very least I find it comforting to be amongst and mainly of you.
( I am not T.Y. by the way.)
letter to the ICC on D4CE from Holocaust survivors
what is this?
do you have a link?
Here it is:
https://doctors4covidethics.org/holocaust-survivors-letter-to-international-criminal-court/
And here is a good interview with one of the authors Vera Sharav who is very eloquent and can really wake up a lot of people. If you can get people to read the letter and watch her testimonies, I dont see how anyone can not be moved. Also its very important to say that waking people up is a process and not an event. These people are hardcore brainwashed. It happens slowly. You start waking them up, then they start seeing the news with fresh eyes, instead of just sucking up all the lies, they start to question things. Keep working on people, get them interested, then keep supplying them with good info from good people and have conversations about what they have seen, how they interpret it etc.
