Germany locks down the unvaccinated: Angela Merkel says parliament will debate making shots MANDATORY as she bars the un-jabbed from non-essential shops and leisure facilities

Germany will lock down its unvaccinated citizens while parliament debates making jabs mandatory, Angela Merkel said as she threw her weight behind the move today.

The outgoing Chancellor said that un-jabbed people will soon be barred from non-essential shops and all cultural and leisure facilities, with only those who have got their shots or been infected with Covid allowed to enter.

The Bundestag will also begin debating a vaccine mandate as soon as possible with a view to making it law by February next year, Merkel added.

Speaking alongside incoming Chancellor Olaf Scholz who has also signalled his support for the move, she said: 'If I were in the Bundestag, I would vote for it.

'We all hoped that volunteering would be better accepted. [But] there is a vaccination gap that means… the health system is coming to the brink of overload.'

Other lockdown measures include limiting both public and private gatherings attended by the unvaccinated to a maximum of four people from two households.

Nightclubs will also be close in high-infection areas, schoolchildren will be forced to wear masks, and outdoor sporting events will be limited to a maximum of 50 per cent capacity.

The sale of fireworks for New Year's Eve will be banned with the intention of discouraging crowds to gather, Merkel added.

It was not immediately clear when the measures will take place, though Merkel referred to an 'Advent Lockdown' during her press conference - suggesting they will initially run up to Christmas.

Health Minister Jens Spahn, in a caretaker role ahead of the planned swearing in of a new government next week, told the ZDF broadcaster earlier in the day that Germany needed 'a lockdown, so to speak, for the unvaccinated'.

Infections have smashed German records in recent weeks and hospitals are sounding the alarm, with many over capacity and forced to dispatch patients elsewhere in the country for treatment.

Though Germany's seven-day incidence rate has fallen slightly this week, it still stood at 439.2 on Thursday, with 73,209 new cases recorded in the past 24 hours.

'From the point of view of intensive and emergency medicine, the pandemic situation has never been as threatening and serious as it is today,' the DIVI intensive care association warned on Wednesday, calling for a drastic tightening of the rules.

The bullshit never ends.! That 7 day average chart seems curiously uniform in the peaks and troughs.

Shocking graphic of Omicron's 32 spike mutations reveals why scientists are so worried about the most evolved Covid strain ever — but jury's still out as South Africa insists it's still only causing mild illness

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10267387/Shocking-graphic-Omicrons-mutations-reveals-scientists-worried.html

This is the image that has sparked fear among scientists, prompted ministers to turbocharge the UK's booster vaccine rollout and seen the return of mask mandates in England.

It details the new super-mutant Omicron variant's 32 spike protein mutations which experts fear will make it the most infectious and vaccine-resistant strain yet.

The graphic, released by the country's top variant monitoring team, also lays bare how it is far more evolved than even the world-dominant Delta strain, with nearly five times as many alterations on the spike.

As of yesterday, just 32 cases of Omicron have been detected in the UK but hundreds are expected to emerge in the coming days and there are signs it is spreading domestically already.

The new strain shares mutations with all of the main 'variants of concern' — including Alpha, Beta and Delta — but has dozens more which all point to heightened transmissibility and vaccine escape.

The stark image comes after Norway announced 60 people likely contracted Omicron at a single Christmas party at a seafood restaurant in Oslo, in what it likely to be the world's biggest outbreak of the new strain so far.

The new image, which was was released by the Covid Genomics UK Consortium (COG-UK), shows three mutations — H655Y, N679K, and P681H, located in the lower right of the image — that could help the virus sneak into the body more easily.

UK Government experts originally said they believe existing vaccines would be made at least 40 per cent weaker at preventing infections from the new strain.

This is because current jabs were designed to recognise the spike protein of the original virus that emerged in China, which looks significantly different to Omicron's.

Concern over the variant's potential as a super-spreader prompted No10 to turbocharge the rollout of Covid boosters, ban travelers from several African nations, and reintroduce compulsory mask wearing.

But there are contradictory reports on whether Omicron causes mild or severe illness and what impact it will have on vaccine effectiveness. Scientists won't know for sure until another three weeks, when they can isolate the virus in a lab and expose it to the blood of previously infection, or vaccinated, people.

Southern African health officials and the World Health Organization have indicated most cases are only resulting in mild disease, and insist there is no evidence existing vaccines are any less effective.

However, cases in South Africa have increased meteorically to 8,561 cases per day, soaring six-fold (571 per cent) compared to 1,275 a week ago, shortly after the country alerted the world to the emergence of Omicron.

Hospitalisations in the country have also more than doubled in the last two weeks, from an average of 86 per day to 184.

And now fears that Omicron is more infections than Delta appears to be true, since the virus is spreading with such ease in South Africa where natural immunity is about 80 per cent. Israeli health authorities have also reported Omicron is 30 per cent more infections than the Delta strain.

I though that bit was quite interesting.. What's a non-essential shop? I'd imagine anything other than a food shop. And as for leisure you can exercise without having to go to a gym.

I'd say if they want to play it that way then it's time to withhold non-essential payments to the governments. Like taxes for example.

I'd hazard an educated guess that Omicron is how they're going to explain why vaccinated people are about to become ill from their vaccines. Just another variant that unvaccinated people are spreading around.

I'm concerned for loved ones but despite my best efforts to convince them they don't need the vaccine most of them went ahead and had it so I hope nothing happens to them. Time will tell I guess..

As for the second image, interesting, weird and more unbelievable the further you dig which Q did appear to hint at so who knows?!
