My #3 son had his 3rd Jab Tuesday, felt unwell Wednesday (we thought due to the jab), PCR test yesterday, positive result today. Family Christmas cancelled!

He works in a pub (in Wales) only time he’s been out of the house in the last week was to work & get his jab!

Re: Coronavirus update - ALERT LEVEL ZERO

Very high new cases figures today, but is it down to things being a bit out of sync so to speak because of Christmas?

Re: Coronavirus update - ALERT LEVEL ZERO

Bigger worry for NHS outside of the Virus is the depth of non covid cases building up and the effects of the publics mental issues arising from this continued restrictions and lockdown worries , the longer it goes on the worse this will be in years to come for people and the UK , and dare I say job losses and dressing and anxiety due to the economy taking more hits.

If the new variant is weaker perhaps do need to re think this and get life back on track .

I note USA now has self isolation down to 5 days , England 7 .

Terrible stuff you hear quite a lot these days. Omicron 70% less likely to go into hospital yet still we have restrictions. Know a few that reckon they’ve had it, heavy cold, 4/5 days, off you go…..long term I think we need to harass mp’s to fund the nhs more, state it’s in at the moment we could have restrictions every winter regardless of covid.

Re: Coronavirus update - ALERT LEVEL ZERO

Just looked at the infection rates and vaccination rates for areas in London.

Not only are their infection rates through the roof but double jabs rates are miles lower than around here. Talking about around low 60%.

Why?

just back from watching " Spiderman " the screen was full, as in not a spare seat

very strange having a stranger sat next to me, Ive been to see films in the summer but they were leaving a spare seat between bookings, but filling the rows ( so someone sat directly behind you )

I guess if someone had covid , a fair few more have caught it now, but everyone knew the risks of going

Saw it last week with the kids, can’t have been 15 other people in there which seemed really weird……

You’d have thought that with the UK Government pursuing a policy at odds with the devolved nations and much of mainland Europe that there would be adequate supplies of the testing apparatus given the onus being put on self testing, but it appears not

Meanwhile, Johnson’s response to the simple question where have you been for the last ten days Prime Minister hardly inspires confidence.

Whether by design or more than likely default letting Omicron rip through the population looks like Johnson getting his wish for ‘herd immunity’ to save the day? I expect him to claim this masterstroke within the coming months if it all goes right.

‘Boris saves the day’ whilst The Sun dress him up as a photo fit of Churchill.

We have been trying to get hold of LFT kits from pharmacies in Sheffield and north Derbyshire every day since the Johnson Plan B announcement - and haven't found one yet. Must have tried over 20 pharmacies, some many times. I know some friends and neighbours who have got hold of them through schools where they work, but even there they are in very short supply. The planning and co-ordination for this (NHS and home test suppliers found out after the press) has been typically useless.

Small amounts of Nightingales being set up again in areas around london where the cases are huge. Sounds like they’re being cautious in case the hospitals get overrun and better to be safe than sorry but just get the feeling we’ve got a few more months of restrictions - to Easter at least.
