Head of UKHSA Says New Year’s Eve Events May Still Be Cancelled
Dr. Jenny Harries, the Head of the U.K. Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has said that, although the Omicron variant appears to be milder than the Delta strain, New Year’s Eve festivities could still be banned in an attempt to curb its spread, citing her concern that an influx of positive Covid tests is leading to staff shortages. MailOnline has the story.
New Year celebrations could be axed to stave off staff shortages and protect the vulnerable even if hospitalisations stay low, a health chief warned today.
Jenny Harries, head of the UKHSA, said the “impact on society” ofΒ OmicronΒ will be crucial despite mounting evidence that it is generally milder than the Delta strain.
Dr. HarriesΒ pointed to the “very high” levels of absence among workers, with an extraordinary one in 35 having contracted the variant inΒ London.
She cautioned that it is still not clear whether the new version of the disease will be milder for older people, or how long people who do have to go to hospital will need to stay.
Asked whether ministers will be able to make a decision on Monday about whether restrictions will be needed before December 31st, Dr. Harries told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “Ministers will look at all of the data that we have available β and that isn’t simply what the epidemiology is saying, it’s how it’s impacting society.
“So, for example, we have very high rates of individuals off sick β we know that particularly in London, around one in 35 have currently got Omicron.
“Now that’s having an impact on the workforce. So these are not simply about hospitalisation rates.”

You took the words right out of my mouth.
They’ll be fireworks if she tries!
In her direction!
In other words, the NHS is dysfunctional with so many of its staff absent. Harries is now engaged in a desperate attempt to try and save its face.
Why can’t staff with asymptomatic covid work on covid wards?
The notion you have a disease (a collection of symptoms) without symptoms, is an oxymoron.
You either have a disease (a collection of symptoms) or you don’t.
If you don’t present with symptoms (‘asymptomatic’) then you don’t have a disease.
“Doctor, I have no symptoms whatsoever, but I think I’ve got Hepatitis..”
A fair point, but too late to correct.
Why canβt asymptomatic staff with a positive SARS2 test work on covid wards?
ο»Ώ
Because it would destroy the narrative
It’s not a ‘fair point’, it’s a science fact. There’s no debate here.
No debate? That’s what the covid zealots say. We should always debate even with, or perhaps especially with, those with whom we disagree.
Better question: Why are they being PCR-tested until there’s a justification to send them home when they’re not sick?
Drosten PCR test = total fraud devised by a chalatan – never forget1
Don’t even try to make sense of their garbage!
But the suggestion that medics with no symptoms of covid should be able to work on a covid ward seems pertinent, regardless of whether a test finds they are carrying the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Yawn…it’s all BS ..OK?
Please keep your common sense to yourself
So far as I read it is only by implication that Harris is referring to NHS staff shortages.
On the ward where I currently am it is Xmas Day on shift, Boxing Day off and vice versa, exactly the same as the Old Normal.
Are you going to be in hospital over Christmas? You’ve mentioned ongoing health problems and recurring visits.
Yes but it’s not a problem, preferred option for the medics to being on my own for four days bank holiday. I’ve always regarded Chistmas as a family thing but as I no longer have family, or religion, it’s meant nothing for several years though I’m very pleased for others to enjoy it.
I mention hospitalisation as I thought a view from the inside might be helpful.
Without prompting many staff privately express doubts about Covid, always have, but that now extends to vaccines, especially younger female nurses.
They still labour under an early Lockdown Edict not to voice such doubts either in the press or on social media. An edict that threatens the jobs or careers of all from domestics to senior consultants.
Yes, I get the religion/family thing. Outside of that its a few days of lots of telly and food.
Nevertheless, I hope the next few days are as pleasant as they can be in hospital and that Xmas dinner is not as grim as hospital meals are often described.
Off now for Wodka Eve – going to neighbours, she’s Polish and if the last 2 Christmas Eves were anything to go by, wodka is a big part of it.
I shall lift a glass to you and all here at DS, wishing everyone Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Grinch Days – whatever fits.
Thanks Jane, I’ve got 30 free channels on my hospital TV (I dont have one at all at home) but it’s so god awful I got a mate to drop off some unwatched DVDs.
One thing I did notice was an advert from Detol claiming their stuff “kills 99.9% of all germs and viruses, including Covid virus!”
How on earth do they get away with saying that?
From memory NL people make much of a hotel family get-together holiday at Christmas.
How’s that going this second Covid season?
Which one? The TikTok dancers, or the nutters who sent all the elderly back to their care homes to die and infect others?
Very overworked nurses at the NHS:

She has no face – she is faceless – a tool of Whitty!
I hope she enjoys her Xmas celebrations. Mine have just been cancelled due to one person being identified as having the plague that slayeth no man. Do not even ask how, what or why it came to pass, I shall no doubt discovereth in a week or so. Symptoms so far only include a bit of a headache, apparently.
I hold no grudges against the Apes in Government or their fawning scientific minions who have harnessed the power of the graph and wish them all a very Merry Christmas.
Well now we know they’re labelling the common Cold covid, that combined with track/trace, they’ll always get work absences.
May I suggest that anybody who tests positive includes the numbers of local government officials who support this behaviour to track and trace
Interesting idea. Is it anonymous, ie βSomeone you have had contact with has tested positive? We canβt tell you who.β?
There could be a lot of fun to be had.
Yes it’s anonymous:).
They will probably be pleased, they will be on full pay
Does this mean actually ‘sick’ or ‘absolutely fine but have tested positive using a highly dubious test’? Not the same things, are they?
Promotes Breitbart:
βFormer President Donald Trump promoted the efficacy of vaccines β¦β
The US has a POS waiting in the wings, and, likewise, the UK has Keir Starmer.
That light at the end of the tunnel is a train.
He was apparently booed by his own supporters for boasting that he’d had his “booster” (ie., a 3rd full dose of the same shit by a different brand).
Trump didn’t sack Fauci, either. He’s not to be trusted.
Panto season 2021:
Jenny Harries – New Yearβs Eve festivities could still be banned
Audience – OH NO THEY WON’T!!!!!
βNow thatβs having an impact on the workforce. So these are not simply about hospitalisation rates.β
Goalposts moving again – the common cold is now the plague so if you have it you must hide away, leaving the NHS in trouble, so we need more restrictions. Obviously going round in a circle. Not everyone will get this, but some will. With each obvious lie, more people will wake up.
PO you dried-up cunt.
Wish somebody would cancel her and the rest of her cohorts.
According to the Telegraph every mobile in the country is to receive a text reminding you to have your “booster”. Does anybody know the number they’ll use so I can block it. Any waggish thing we can do with these reminders, like forward to your MP?
I got that text. It’s from NHS-NoReply and at least on my iPhone the phone number behind it is not disclosed.
Yeah, don’t think you can block it. I’ve had three from my GP practice in the past week or so, despite previously asking them never to contact me about these ‘vaccines’ (up until now they haven’t either, unlike NHS England). I messaged them via their online contact form after the first one, but that didn’t stop them sending two more!
Book and don’t turn up.
There’s an option to block caller now – but obviously only after you’ve received at least one message.
There is one simple way to avoid this sort of nonsense, and that is not to give out mobile numbers to anyone “official”, including the NHS in any form.
P.S. I wouldn’t let these jokers have an email address either, but if I did, it would be a “disposable” one.
E-mail addresses worth handing out to all and sundry:
s.michie@ucl.ac.uk
c.whitty@nhs.net
ο»Ώ
The bastards havenβt sent me one. Can I take a case against them for discrimination?
Never give the NHS a mobile number.
Well, yes, give them the number of someone you don’t like.
Sour-faced old biddy does Golden Wonder, Dim Whitty and Bank Balance Vallance’s bidding; again.
U.K. Health Security Agency
Just by its very name alone I always thought this department sounded as if it could become overbearing and maybe even dictatorial (given the chance) – an agency that could quickly mutate into something much more sinister, far too powerful and deeply oppressive given the opportunity – especially under a weak government and a feeble PM such as we have now.
It sounds like some repressive state ministry you would usually only hear about in some depressing dictatorship elsewhere in the world like the Soviet Union or communist East Germany.
But this is where most of Europe appears to be heading currently … soviet-esque tyranny.
“The most puzzling development in politics during the last decade is the apparent determination of Western European leaders to re-create the Soviet Union in Western Europe.” – Mikhail Gorbachev
Good old Gorby was right about a lot, but especially that.
MinTruth was the ministry of creating lies.
So MinHealth is?

It won’t stop my New Year celebrations. If it’s a fine evening, I shall be hanging several persons in effigy and then putting them on a bonfire. If the the weather is bad, I shall be indoors, sticking pins in miniature versions of the same. The chant for the occasion will be ” Om Ni Crom-o”, recited in a low monotone, in similar manner to “Om Mane Padme Hum”.
How sad, unhappy and pathetic an individual must you be if the only kicks you can get around Christmas is making vain attempts to spoil the party for others. This ugly old witch should crawl back into her cave.
Jenny Harries wants to finger your entrails.
I have a question, wife of a friend really needs to travel next May, is concerned she’ll need to start getting caught up now in order to have had 3 (maybe 4) shots by then. Doesn’t want them really but want’s less to miss this trip.
Which one is least likely to kill her?
She’s got coeliac disease (which is already an immune system issue iirc) and has already had the children she plans to have, 36yr old female.
Side note, where’s the sense in catching up?! Surely you only need 1 jab just before you travel, f’ing insanity by the government surely!?!
Not insanity, evil. It’s all politics. Can’t imagine what trip would persuade me to get jabbed – it would have to be a dying mother or something. No guarantee she’d be able to travel even if jabbed. As to which is least dangerous, I think the point is that we simply don’t know yet. I don’t think you get a choice, anyway – perhaps if you go private but doubt it. Not all the vaxxes are licensed in the UK.
I asked about choice, apparently she does.
Yeah it’s a really tough situation, no doubt made worse because she will be terrified and stressed throughout.
Why not actually catch it?
Just have ivermectin, budesonide, Vit-D and zinc. And lemsip for a serious case.
She’s had it already, whole family had delta, but she didn’t get PCR’d
Antibody test at lloyds pharmacy?
I assumed testing now would expire by May?
Hahahaha……………. as long as there’s oil, the Chinese will be making their little plastic LFT kits.
haha, I meant in that her green status would be red by May, how long does your “antibody protection” keep the pass running?
Here, have a look at this – half the world hasn’t a clue as to what’s needed to travel:
https://www.reddit.com/r/uktravel/
I wonder if perhaps some jabbers will be willing to squirt the muck into a sink, log it as taken, for a suitable level of remuneration?
It’s worth her doing more research on this. There is a view that the worst damage caused to people is the immune response to the spike protein, whether produced by infection with the virus or the vaxx. If that is correct (from what I’ve read I think there’s a lot of merit to the argument), any vaxx could cause problems, as they are all based on the spike protein.
Novavax has been okayed for use in Europe – it is also based on the spike protein, but you are injected with the actual inactivated spike protein, as opposed to your own body being forced to produce the spike protein, which is how all the others currently in use in UK/US/EU work. Have no idea whether it will have the deleterious effect on the immune system that the mRNA vaxxes seem to have.

She should be careful
the BNT162b2 vaccine also modulated the production of inflammatory cytokines by innate immune cells upon stimulation with both specific (SARS-CoV-2) and non-specific (viral, fungal and bacterial) stimuli. The response of innate immune cells to TLR4 and TLR7/8 ligands was lower after BNT162b2 vaccination, while fungi-induced cytokine responses were stronger. In conclusion, the mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine induces complex functional reprogramming of innate immune responses, which should be considered in the development and use of this new class of vaccines.
Tell her to save up some cash, book a “vaccine” appointment with a nurse in a surgery in a deprived neighborhood, and see how much cash it takes for the nurse to flush the potion down the sink. I’m sort of half joking about this because if pushed to the absolute extreme, this will be my last resort.
There’s often another ‘nurse’ present – to grass on the other one if they accept a bribe.
Just donβt.
Holy shit. I just read the rest of the article on the Daily Snail Trail, Boris is invoking Jesus now to flog his Stroke Pokes. The guy has lost it. Sorry you corpulent fuck, a philandering, gluttonous, greedy, lazy, sullen, jealous and prideful rancid shitweasel such as yourself is most certainly NOT on Team Jesus pal. Fuck off, and when you get there, fuck off some more, you vast stinking corrupt Satan fellating pig whore.
You have a wonderful way with words BF. Maybe you could start a business writing greetings cards for people to send to their politicians?
Nice π
Baby Jesus would approve of your message.
Jesus Violently Ejecting Moneychangers From The Temple is my favourite Jesus.
And some people say that English doesn’t have the beauty, expressiveness and elegance of French. Thanks for the masterclass.
Come on, don’t hold back on our account.
Love it π
OMFG stop with the testing. Then piss off Mrs Harridan.
J.Harris is conducting a classic propaganda exercise; keep ’em guessing, keep ’em uncertain; the more likely to accept any new imposition if only to have some certainty.
I would describe her as a c*nt but its Xmas.
She’s not a cunt: she doesn’t know what a cunt’s there for. Dried-up as a nun’s chuff.
She doesnβt understand. They should be encouraging the spread, especially among those who still have an intact immune system, the great unvaxxed.
3% absent due to Covid doesn’t sound like we need to shut the economy down. I wonder what the difference is between sickness rates in the NHS and say, Tesco?
I wonder how many are off on Maternity leave?
Or indeed between the public and private sectors generally.

I really hope they try as their is zero evidence to back them up this time, also I reckon their will be riots.
So we’ve got to lockdown because a badly run organisation is short staffed due to government regulations. Not because people are ill. The madness continues. Monty Python springs to mind.
I know, it’s brilliant isn’t it? We no longer have Spike, or Monty Python, but who cares, when you can have this? Oh joy!
Edit: actually, maybe it’s a bit of a double-edged sword – I have just had to use a whole packet of wet-wipes trying to clean myself up after spontaneously losing control of all bodily functions. Annnd laughing so much brought on a severe asthma attack – in spite of the fact that I am not asthmatic. Also, I am not sure, but I think I may have dislocated several of my joints.
Heavy, heavy stuff. I recommend not to watch or read any of it unsupervised. I’m not joking, it verges on being potentially fatally funny.
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer and so I could be seeing this all wrong but it seems to me that the threat of further restricitions is not based on the actual number of deaths directly due to this variant or the number of people who are in hospital severely ill with symptoms, again directly due to the virus – but because perfectly normal fit and healthy people without so much as a sniffle are testing themselves like crazy out there and because they are testing positive this justifies further restrictions.
Madness! Complete and utter madness.
Stop testing yourself you mad bastards.
The ever-moving goalposts!
see latest article for proof of that.
I am spending Christmas with one of these.
…
“Ministers will look at all of the data…and how it’s impacting society.”
Well that will be a bloody first.
Running out of things to say now, other than: Oh, Fuck Off You Twat
I like that. It has a certain earthy charm.
Well, I was going to go with Rudyard Kipling’s If, but thought mine had more eloquence π
Aye, haddaway anβ shite, man
……
Brilliant.
Yet another corrupt and morally bankrupt bureaucrat.
I’d love to know just how much people like her are making for selling their souls to big pharma.
Why not grab the old bag and force her to show everyone her bank statements?
