It makes one proud to be British, the scientific prowess that we possess.
Within just a couple of days of the Omicron variant presenting itself as a potential risk, they've managed to work out that it's highly contagious in shops and on buses and trains - but not in pubs, nightclubs, football grounds, concerts, churches, mosques, synagogues, Nativity plays or anywhere else.
Fair play to them for working that out so quickly.
Our scientific prowess should indeed make you proud. We produced the ‘gold standard’ vaccine that is now being used across the world, including those places that the G20 countries tend to think of as an afterthought.
Omicron is likely to be highly transmissible in all those venues you mentioned. The decision will have been based on science. Behavioural science.
