Restrictions on freedom “must be an absolute last resort” and the UK must look to “live alongside” coronavirus in 2022, the Health Secretary has said.
But Sajid Javid said the record-breaking Omicron wave of infection will “test the limits of finite NHS capacity even more than a typical winter” as reports suggested a work from home order in England could be in place for most of January to slow the spread of the highly transmissible variant.
Government figures showed a further 189,846 lab-confirmed Covid-19 cases had been recorded in the UK on Friday, another new record for daily reported cases.
But a leading statistician said the actual number of daily cases could be closer to half-a-million, with the UK going into the new year in the midst of an “unprecedented wave” of infections.
Mr Javid, writing in the Daily Mail, said England had “welcomed in 2022 with some of the least restrictive measures in Europe”, with the UK Government at odds with the devolved nations in choosing to keep nightclubs open and to allow hospitality to operate without further measures for new year celebrations.
“Curbs on our freedom must be an absolute last resort and the British people rightly expect us to do everything in our power to avert them,” the Health Secretary continued.
“Since I came into this role six months ago, I’ve also been acutely conscious of the enormous health, social and economic costs of lockdowns.
“So I’ve been determined that we must give ourselves the best chance of living alongside the virus and avoiding strict measures in the future.”

The Cabinet minister said the time lag between infections and hospital admissions meant it was “inevitable that we will still see a big increase” in Covid patients over the next month as he warned that, as the coronavirus crisis entered its third year, the pandemic is “still far from over”.
Oh no not another year
Whatever the case maybe we have to learn to live with it. It’s a huge adjustment for the globe.Sat, 1 January 2022, 12:01 am

We don’t know what’s around the corner as in terms of a more deadlier variant, I sure hope not and it dwindles.

It's going to have to be normal because there's not a lot of support for lockdown or for fulfilling the latest definition of fully vaccinated.
We would end up like South Africa with the apartheid whites quadruple vaccinated and the poor unvaccinated blacks unaffected by covid but desperate for the chance to work. The cowardice of the old rich will have something real to fear if it doesn't stop.

I wonder how the whole shaming anti-vaxxers goes down in South Africa because it is basically all the people who benefitted from apartheid versus all the people who didn't. Must be a touchy subject.

Herd immunity, I hope something is going our way, I see some of the people involved with Covid are being knighted, that's as well as the famous Christmas party,Could it be that herd immunity is being reached?

Lee, you charmer
here the numbers: 189k two times in a row for UK.
It's more than before It's called omicron this time.
O m i c r o n. Learn that name.
Ehhm r u ready to catch it Lee? You should be.
Good news is: it's milder. Eventually the herd will probably
end the pandemii. So there.
By the way, show me the fear mongering in this thread Lee,
and I'll reward you a penny for each point. Good luck on that.
