No, that’s a recommendation for anyone drifting off course and finding themselves in the area.

IF.
This is reality.
THEN.
It is game over I do not believe the public will respond to any future panic measures IF this is followed through with the actual data.

BBC News - Omicron symptoms mild so far, says South African doctor who spotted it
You weren’t shopping in Stoke. You were probably shopping in Hanley.
Because this is Stoke, a place full of places that aren’t Stoke.

If we’re being pedantic, I was shopping in Newcastle Under Lyme briefly, then down the A34 at Stone, having shopped at Dagfields in Nantwich the previous morning.
But Hanley brings back some Saturday morning memories, arcade to start then lunch at Roberto’s before an afternoon in the pool hall next door getting warmed up before an evening on the beer 
A browse round the hifi and music shops usually got fitted in at some stage.

This could easily have gone in the woke thread…
Omicron is the thirteenth SARS-CoV-2 variant to receive a formal WHO designation but it has been tagged with the 15th letter of the Greek alphabet. A statement from the WHO indicates it has decided to skip Nu and Xi, the 13th and 14th letters of the Greek alphabet, bringing us up to Omicron as the latest variant label.
“Two letters were skipped – Nu and Xi – because Nu is too easily confounded with “new” and Xi was not used because it is a common surname and WHO best practices for naming new diseases (developed in conjunction with FAO and OIE back in 2015) suggest avoiding “causing offense to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups,” the WHO said in a recent statement.
Need to add a caveat to that Mr @Polski_Filip
Doctors in local areas where Omicron is emerging have so far noted the variant is only causing mild disease. But these initial infections have been detected primarily in younger populations, who generally would only experience mild COVID-19, so it has yet to be determined whether Omicron causes more severe disease.
