New covid variant. Anyone worried?

Sort of gone off the back burner.

There was a prediction covid 23 virus would be the one that wiped out majority of humanity.

Anyone worried by these changes to the current virus?

No. No more lockdowns. Give Dripford a sniff of power again and he'll be delighted to step in and screw the last flickering light in the Welsh economy!

If anything just jab / protect only the clinically vulnerable and anyone 60+. That's what the approach should have been the first time

Not really and that's speaking as someone who knows the real perils of Covid and its after effects...

I know quite a few people suffering from this latest round but none are anywhere near the levels seen pre-injection...

I've had COVID and a cold in the last two months, The cold was manflu-type, and the covid was nothing!

It looks like it's more resilient to jabs but no worse if you get it.

No, not at all.
If only folk stopped listening to the constant balloney being pumped out, we might just be able to get on with our lives.
This is just my view, of course; but if you want to live in fear then that's up to you.

Anecdotal but I know someone who hadn’t taken a day off sick for decades who’s recently spent a week bed bound despite being (as far as they’ve told everyone) fully jabbed with their first encounter with covid

The worrying thing is, there's no mention of the excess deaths either. That is deeply concerning.

The jabs aren't to stop Covid but to lessen their effect, if you should get it...

The paranoia surrounding the jabs is excessive; but in my experience some (certainly not all) people seem to want to kick back at everything; and I know some who reckon they haven't had the jab when they actually have...

first thing they said when they got back was thank god they were jabbed and how they didn’t want to imagine how bad it could’ve been had they not had been

I had the jabs, not the Booster though. I caught Covid last weekend, losing 3-2 from 2 up did not help. I questioned the jabs but glad I had them now. If they were meant to lessen the effect then I would not want to be writing this post.

I suffer from lymphoma and that makes my immune system weak, on Monday the government sent me 14 covid test packs stating if I have a cold to take one of the tests and phone them the results straight away, so they must be a little worried about it coming back.

I have had 5 jabs up to now, three different makes, being giving them about every 6 months with one due at the end of this month.

Certainly something to be concerned about.

I believe I caught it of my daughter who still had to go into work. I'm a bit confused by it all. Should we be all concerned about this new break or should we not get carried away like last time?

There is so much to learn from how the pandemic was handled.

Throughout the event the average age of death was around 82 years old where Covid was a contributer- around the same as flu I believe.

So as I've said above, no more lockdowns as they are devastating for many reasons. Look after the most vulnerable groups of society with targeted support and not lock the whole country down.

The media coverage concerned me enormously - absolutely OTT and with constant daily death rates from the BBC - no balanced reporting. Then, one sunny day, the media coverage tap was completely turned off and has been off ever since. Who is pulling these strings here?

I believe this to be the biggest problem. Most believe everything that's put in front of them, and that's their choice, but as you said, don't make everyone suffer. And yes, as you state, 'the average age of death was around 82 years old where Covid was a contributer- around the same as flu I believe'.

Wasn't the idea that we all had to "suffer" so as to stop a much larger proportion of the older population from dying?

More an "in it together" sort of attitude and not an "I'm alright Jack" one.

Was never sure what I believed at the time but did seem convinced by this thought and didn't want to be someone who wandered around positive yet unaffected but affecting others.

No need really for anyone to be worried about it.

It's not like before.

There won't any lockdowns/restrictions or anything like that.

People may feel unwell and obviously the most vulnerable may choose to shield themselves, that's their decision.

I’m more concerned about the next vaccine that they will try to get us to take, already a stupid amount of excess deaths per week which ‘can’t be explained’ when we all know it’s due to the experimental gene therapy vaccine. Before anyone says I’m anti-vax I took the first Pfizer jab and I’ve had muscle twitches all over my body on an hourly basis everyday for the last 2 years.

I know some people who point blank refused to take any of the vaccines and they're in fine health. Does make me wonder if the vax should have been targeted at certain demographic only.

Here we go again with people making shit up.

Do you mean people on the thread or the reports in the media of a new strain?

People on the thread. There will always be new strains just like with the flu and the OP asked a simple question, if anyone was worried, but now the second hand stories and bullshit have started again.

These international breaks have a lot to answer for.

Not concerned but wish I’d never had the jab in the first place. I suffered an artery tear not long after which could have easily caused a stroke. Aged 43 and very healthy individual. No one will openly admit it could have been jab related but it’s what I believe. I’m not anti vax in anyway but I’ll never put an untested drug in my body again.

I know of another ex colleague who is wheelchair bound because of the vaccine. Not scaremongering or anti vax at all, just facts.

Nope not one bit. Aload of bollocks imo had zero jabs and never intended to. Just waiting for the you can sit down to eat in a bar or restaurant rule and don't wear a mask but when your walking about the same places you must have a mask on like this suppposed mysterious covid floats about above sitting height. Again just my opinion on it but we all differ. So many contradicting rules it was laughable at the time imo and people won't listen at all if it gets spread across the BBC bullshit channel again.

Likewise pal. Never had one and never will, but each to their own.
And how many would have tested if the tests weren't free? If you're ill, you know you're ill. And that asymptomatic nonsense...

Enough people have realised how much of a sham the whole thing was now for us to see the insane mass hysteria again I hope.

And enough light has been shone on the vaccines being never designed to block transmission (Johnson and Johnson admitted this in the EU parliament) and not being properly tested (Pfizer admitted this in front of Australian senate)

Data on excess deaths correlates more closely with vaccine rollouts than Covid and is increasingly well documented.

Its now widely accepted that the lab leak hypothesis was correct.

All the conspiracy theories that people got labelled as cranks for believing ended up being correct and too many people are aware of this.

Ivermectin and hydroxycholorquine are accepted as effective and cheap solutions.

There were too many government scandals in terms of breaking lockdown rules which has broken the trust of the people in the authorities.

Too many dancing tik too nurses for people to believe the hospitals were overwhelmed.

The nightingale hospitals all closed without seeing less that 500 patients total and people who are broke because of the economic fall out of lockdowns wont tolerate such excess waste of public funds again.

Both main political parties are in disarray and frankly neither of them can risk pushing for more lockdowns as it would be political suicide.

So as someone who was always more afraid of the reaction to coving than the virus itself, I'm far less concerned this time out as I just don't see how the draconian measures that meant so much suffering can be justified again.

No not worried in the slightest

Have had covid twice (possibly more) and both times I had no symptoms whatsoever and felt absolutely fine. The only reason I knew I had it was because I had to be tested weekly for my work and test came back positive

Biggest problem I encountered was having to isolate for 7 days with absolutely nothing wrong with me which was a complete pain in the arse!!

Not worried at all!

No more jabs for me, & IF they bring lockdowns (which i dont think will happen) I certainly won't be abiding by the rules this time around,

After the lying fuckers In parliament laughed at us all for staying indoors and clapping on our doorsteps.

Spot on pal. If only people did more independent research, they'd understand the whole point of it.

Hit the nail on the head with this post, I’m surprised how few people want to know the truth and are so quick to label people who challenge the narrative as ‘conspiracy theorists’.
