Omicron BA.5 Now past 325,000 per day setting new records for Scotland and Wales and due to smash U.K. records within a week . Still no public health advice to help ? Thanks for logging with Zoe !
UK cases reach 309,000 cases per day affecting currently over 1 in 20 people as this fifth wave of omicron BA5 shows no signs of slowing and hospitals filling up steadily. Still no signs of advice for the public - as U.K. supposedly the first to beat Covid @Join_ZOE
