BORIS GRAFFITI BAY AREA SERIES
There will be a series of pop-up screenings at various locations leading up to a “Best of Bernal” season finale at South Slope Cinema at Alemany Plaza again. One is the return of Bernal Heights Outdoor Cinema, whose 18th season opens Friday with a shorts program at Alemany Market Plaza and a Sat/2 screening (in Precita Park) of The Last Black Man in San Francisco, whose preliminary trailer had won a prize at the event in 2014, five years before the completed film’s release. Questions about the Government’s approach come as the Daily Mirror reported accusations that Mr Johnson and Downing Street staff had broken Covid rules by attending parties at Number 10 in the run-up to Christmas last year.Ī Downing Street spokeswoman said: “Covid rules have been followed at all times.”įor more stories from where you live, visit InYourArea.If you miss the communal experience of moviegoing but are hesitant about going back to theaters, a couple short-term alternatives have appeared on the horizon this week. Meanwhile, the BBC reports the Government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) has warned officials the impact of the variant is “highly uncertain” but may require a “stringent response”.Īccording to leaked minutes of a Sage meeting on Monday, reportedly seen by the broadcaster, advisers say: “The situation could develop quickly over the coming weeks and decision makers may need to act while there is a high level of uncertainty, including the potential need for stringent response measures.” Sir Graham Brady, who chairs the powerful Conservative backbench 1922 Committee, said there were “serious concerns” about the “efficacy of what is being proposed”, and warned against “mission creep”.įormer minister Steve Baker said “we are taking away the public’s right to choose what they do based on flimsy and uncertain evidence”, while Tory veteran Sir Christopher Chope labelled the regulations “oppressive, authoritarian and dictatorial”. Some 32 Conservatives rebelled by voting against the self-isolation regulations while two more acted as tellers for the noes, but the measures both comfortably passed. In the Commons on Tuesday, 19 Tories – with two rebel tellers – opposed the mask-wearing measures. Mr Johnson, who visited a festive food market set up in Downing Street after the press conference, will be asked about the Government’s approach again during Prime Minister’s Questions in the Commons on Wednesday. Scientists believe Omicron could be more transmissible than the dominant Delta variant and may render vaccines less effective because of the extent of its mutations. He also rejected suggestions that advice on working from home should be reinstated in England, as is happening in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, in response to the concerns about Omicron. She added: “If we all decrease our social contacts a little bit, actually that helps to keep the variant at bay.”


“And, of course, our behaviours in winter and particularly around Christmas, we tend to socialise more, so I think all of those will need to be taken into account.” Health Secretary Sajid Javid, who will carry out broadcast interviews on Wednesday morning, said Omicron cases are likely to go higher and “we have to be realistic” that there is already likely to be transmission within the community.ĭr Harries had earlier told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that even if “vaccines appear to be effective, but we find that the variant is more highly transmissible, having lowish grade infection, but in very large numbers of the population, (it) could still be a significant impact on our hospitals. The Prime Minister promised that everyone eligible would be offered a booster jab by the end of January, with at least 400 military personnel helping the NHS and vaccination centres “popping up like Christmas trees”. But it is the booster campaign which the Government believes provides the greatest line of defence against the new variant.
