Covid rate and death rate really low. Can't believe the French could be so disciplined. Puts us to shame.
Over 4.000 new cases in Wales over the last twenty four hours and deaths consistently in double figures.

Obesity may play a part. Only two countries in Europe trump us on that front according to https://www.theweek.co.uk/96429/ten-...ries-in-europeQuote:

Wales has the highest case rates in the UK apparently, yet we have masks, vaccine passports and the like still going on….how is this occurring I wonder?

If your LFT is positive and then you check with a PCR which is also positive is this recorded as 2 separate ‘cases’
And if in hospital with Covid and you are tested every day.....I’ve read it counts as a case per day until you test negative, although this needs clarification.
Plan A , Plan B or even C you get the feeling this virus can circumvent many prevention measures.
Maybe I’m being a bit over cautious, but I’m thinking of giving the game a miss tomorrow.
Covid is rife in most schools & colleges at the moment, but under 18’s can stroll about the CCS tomorrow unchecked !
Mrs is worried we might infect her 97 year old dad.
Am I being over cautious ?
Its a personal choice, and only you can make itQuote:

It’s much easier to “give up” on a part of your life which has made you bored, angry, despairing and disillusioned over a period of years - there are stacks of reasons (including the increase in Covid cases) why going tomorrow seems a bad idea and I’m struggling to think of any that has me thinking it’s a good one.Quote:

If your pass doesn’t work, you can have a covid test done at the gate. Been told it’ll take 15 to 20 minutes.Quote:

Cases are high, but we test more people in a day in the Uk ���� than Europe combined and hospitalisations and deaths ( which is what really counts ) is much lower than last year thanks to the vaccination take up.
As Bluematt has said, this virus will be around for years ( probably indefinitely ). I appreciate we are all different but the media don’t report all the facts and reassure the public. The positive information is available , you just have to go looking for it via alternative media outlets.
Young people are not drivers of this disease which is why they are not governed by the same “ show us your papers “ guidelines.
I’m sorry, but it is spreading like wildfire in young people !!!!
Been told one school in Newport has “shut down”, and students told it’ll be reviewed after half term.
It’s the under 18’s who are the problem
If I was going to be seeing a 97 year old relative I'd probably be ultra cautious too. You're unlikely to be missing much other than Warnock being magnanimousQuote:

I'm immuno-suppressed and recent treatment means I cant have my next vaccine dose for another month, as it will reduce the effectiveness of my treatment. Even though I'm double vaccinated (had my second in March) my protection levels are lower than most, so I'm taking the cautious approach myself. It's the amount of time in close proximity to the same people that I'm worried about.
If you’re that concerned, then I would suggest you shouldn’t attend then which is in reply to your original question.Quote:

Sadly the inevitable happened this evening, my brother in law passed away from Covid. He’s had dementia for a few years now but was still lucid & mobile. Covid changed all of that in a few short days. Not sure I can cope with my wife’s grief, I’m pretty shit at that side of life.
Thanks to all those who’ve left comments on my previous posts.
Just one word in response to this poll, why?

It really annoys me when you see politicians on the TV urging people to get their booster. Well, I would if they invited me.
Anyone else in the same position and is there a number to ring? Any guidance will be welcome👍
Based on my case, you should have had something Rob - I had my second jab on 13 May and received a letter last week confirming another one on 24 November. The telephone number quoted on the letter has a Pontypridd code, so it would be of no use to you.Quote:
