    "The scale of the threat posed by the Omicron variant was laid bare by government scientists last night as they warned that there are now hundreds of thousands of infections every day. That daily number could reach between 600,000 and 2 million by the
    end of the month if new restrictions are not brought in immediately.

    The government’s SPI-M-O group of scientists, which reports to the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), also warned that, based on their modelling, hospitalisations could peak between 3,000 and 10,000 a day and deaths at between 600 and 6,
    000 a day.

    Sage urged the government to reintroduce “more stringent measures … very soon”. The minutes of its meeting on Thursday stated: “The timing of such measures is crucial. Delaying until 2022 would greatly reduce the effectiveness of such
    interventions and make it less likely that these would prevent considerable pressure on health and care settings.”"

    Ah!!! Communism!!! the way to control pandemic...
    Follow China's example...
    Any family member(s) found to be infected...
    Nail shut their door and don't allow them to leave the house...
    deliver food to their house until they recover...
