Kohta sitä kantokykyä koetellaan. Taitaa olla ensimmäinen varsin suora toteamus omikronin vauhdista, Brittien terveysministeri Sajid Javid tänään aamulla:Tää olis hyvä jos sitä riskiä ei "hyvinvointivaltiossa" tosiasiassa kantaisi muut.
"It spreads faster than any other Covid we’ve seen so far. It’s doubling time, that’s the number of days it takes for the number of infections to double in the community, we estimate it is between two and a half to three days, which would mean that by even this month, we could get about a million infections in the community throughout the UK.

"And we’ve always been clear that actually if the data changes and should move in the wrong direction, that looks like the NHS might come under unsustainable pressure. Remember what that would mean. We wouldn’t be able to get emergency care, not just for Covid, but for a car accident or anything like that. We would act and implement that. I don’t enjoy doing that. No one does.
It’s a very difficult thing for many people to ask them to work from home or wear face masks and things. So it’s a real impact on our liberties. But I hope that most people will understand that by taking some decisive action now, we could potentially avoid action later, and our vaccines and our antivirals also remain a very important part of our defences.
