Covid: Omicron may require 'very stringent response', say Sage scientists
The impact of the Omicron variant on the UK is "highly uncertain" but may require a "very stringent response", government advisers have said.
The BBC has seen leaked minutes of a meeting of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies held on Monday.
Not merely stringent. but very stringent. Presumably only one step away from very, very stringent.
It may be my imagination but whenever we hear something from Sage, I seem to hear shrill squeaks of self-important delight.
Health Fascism is a thing and SAGE is its name.
ReplyDeleteStill "Independent SAGE" seems to be even fascistier.
It's like the climate, isn't it? Highly uncertain, so requiring very stringent measures.
ReplyDeleteThis degree of consistency on the part of our government is reassuring.
Indeed.
ReplyDeletedearieme - I agree, although I'd like to be a fly on their wall.
ReplyDeleteSam - it is reassuring. We know where we are with them.
James - and I'm sure very, very stringent would be preferred. But not for them.
