183,037

That is the new total for infections for the 24 hours up to 16:00 on today, 29th December 2021.

And bear in mind that for most of the past week there has been no PCR and few LFT kits or tests available in the country. The realy figure is much higher.

MPs, like Andrew bridgen says there will be no spike in hospitalisations, just as the three week lag after infections is showing increases.

King Cnut once denied the tides and was proven wrong, Andrew bridgen will be shown by reality the truth, though, I guess, he will deny it.

Anyway, in the real world, hospitals are being asked to nominate areas in their grounds for field hospitals to be set up and where additional morgue facilities can be created. Seems like the worst is being expected, even if our politicians are playing the reality down.

Uncle Jezzer's borther, Piers, lead an attack on a vaccination station Milton Keynes today where they destroyed supplies and equipment.

A normal day on Plague Island.

As nothing has been done by the Government to mitigate the Omicron wave, it will build, unchecked, for the next two weeks at least, hospitalisations will rise and deaths will follow.

The lack of leadership and the mixed messaging from this Government will have contributed to thousands of deaths.

And in something totally normal, the PM emerged from his fridge today and was asked by ITN news where he had been the last two weeks, Johnson could only fluster a reply, "in this country".

Which is nice.

Totally normal.
