According to the National Records for Scotland website between 30 to 50 people are dying from Covid every week in Scotland. And the vast majority of those deaths are amongst the very elderly, with only about 1 or 2 deaths per week amongst those of working age.

If Omicron is the lasr major variant I wonder how long it will be before a new variant pops up that might become a problem

Lockdown was a fucking scam. This now needs to be said openly if it hasn't already been in this thread

It always was but some people will believe anything.

Yup. Heck calling it a scam is too kind, we were truly bent for no good reason by the authoritarians, and led by the fucking Conservative Party of all people. Already we're poorer, more depressed before we get to the hundreds of billions of added debt we will owe for generations. We signed our economic death warrant with lockdown when we were already a heavily in debt country.
