COVID-19 Still Around

With Ukraine the only story in town for the past few weeks, Coronavirus has slipped down the news agenda but it has still been around, quietly infecting whoever it comes across but as we have all been looking elsewhere and Omicorn and Delta have merged and mutated into Deltacron and cases of the new variant have been found spreading in America, Netherlands, Denmark, France and Cyprus with one case discovered in the UK.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) are concerned that the Delta variant had more severe effects on those who caught it, while Omicron was more infectious and if we now have a more severe infection which is more infectious, then it could cause significant problems but they have not yet raised it to a variant of concern but they are keeping their eye closely on it.
With all of the restrictions now lifted in the UK, we are no longer subject to daily briefings but the numbers are still staying unsurprisingly high with today's figures showing 71,259 new daily infections, 11,751 in hospital and 142 deaths but Boris and the Government have made their bed but it is us who have to lay in it, the health of the economy placed firmly put before the health of the nation.
The Government seem to have taken a view that if we just ignore it then the virus will go away but it isn't going anywhere just yet because unfortunatley, it hasn't finished with us yet.
