The reasoning sounds scary i.e. Omicron doubling every 2-3days…

  It's doubling at the expense of the delta variant. Total cases are not doubling.

    We should not trust in any way any UK government statistics any longer - it's crystal clear they are lying through their teeth.

      The politicians, yes, probably. The dashboard (https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/)) is pretty trust worthy. Lying is simple, and even then Government routinely fucks it up. I doubt they have the capacity to convincingly forge the data required to generate that website.

      If you don't trust statistics you have nothing left to trust in, doesn't look like a smart move.

        Not true. You can trust your own observations and thought process results and can make your own small statistics from anecdotes coming from your acquaintances.

    There is no reason to think the doubling will immediately stop once delta is pushed out.

    When Omicron reaches the majority of new cases the growth rate of the total number of new cases will accelerate. Until then, the doubling is masked by the large Delta background.
