You say that, but many European countries still have really strict restrictions in place, the Dutch are playing football matches behind closed doors as an example. Think the context for us is that we have pretty much gone back to normal, Omicron is a spanner in the works for us, but for...

As I was suggesting, anecdotally a page before, it does feel to me at least that we must be around the 200k cases per day, because literally everyone I speak to, dog walkers, friends, kid's football parents etc. etc. either have it or are talking about a close acquaintance who has it. Kids...

The announcement that the PL has a record 42 cases over 7 days appears to echo that too. Best wishes for a swift recovery.

Sorry, when I say as bad as I can remember, I mean specifically around me, I'm not putting any weight on outcomes, severity or what should be done, it was just an observation - apologies as that was a bit insensitively put. Luckily, don't really know anyone who has been hospitalised by it...

Anyone else feel that just anecdotally right now, it seems as bad as I can remember in the whole pandemic, schools & colleges, work places, health and leisure places, I'm surrounded by close friends, kids and their friends, all reporting having it now or re-catching it? Just a sense that it's...

"broad sword calling danny-boy, are you receiving me over?"

I equate it to speed limits. Tell people it’s a 50, they will go 55-60. Tell people it’s a 40, they will go 45-50. Tell people it’s a 30, they will go 35-40. Tell people it’s a 20, they will go 25-30. And so it with rules. 3 households over 5 days WILL be more like 4 sometime 5 over 10 days...

The above normal death rates need some qualification as all our measures such as masks, sanitising, distancing, lock downs will mean our normal winter killers aren’t being passed around like they usually would. So actually death from flu etc. should be at its lowest for many many years for that...

No wonder it's spreading like wild fire. My mate is in Hastings, he got tested last Wednesday morning at 08.00 as he had a metallic taste in his mouth the previous day. Still no result! He's phoned and they say they don't class a test result late until 5 days. However they don't count it as...

Amazing, what a brilliant way to communicate the news.:clap2:

Like you said kids are all fine, my youngest (10) didn’t really have any symptoms at all. My 14yr old son still hasn’t got his smell back properly after 9 days of first noticing it changing, but he and my daughter are completely fine otherwise. Youre describing what I had for a few days, maybe...

That is less fun as an explanation than a good conspiracy though...

How’s things Farehamseagull? Have you been inundated with track and trace? Hope you’re all feeling better going into the weekend.

I’m okay now, and at over 10 days passed my first symptoms. I’m still not 100%, like there is a residual fatigue hiding away. Wife had a day in bed yesterday, but no temperature and seems okay today. Kids are all fine, although my middle son is still saying his sense of smell is effected...

Fingers crossed you're all okay FS. 2 of my kids tested positive on Friday, result came back 10pm Saturday night. Me, the wife and youngest got tested Sunday morning, results came back Tuesday lunchtime. We all tested positive. So far, kids have been mainly asymptomatic with a change in smell...

I think Poojah has adequately answered this. People have adverse reactions to getting stung by a wasp, eating nuts, other medication or what have you. Therefore there can never be no risk, however that is the same with the life, I can't take an antibiotic without their being some risk (as it...

Why not? Vaccines are by their very nature a very small dose of something to produce antibodies. In the rare event there is a side effect it's usually a rash or a slight temperature. It's most likely that the worse that will happen is that it might not work. So why would you wait 6 months? As a...

Equally someone who tested positive for Covid and died may not necessarily have passed because of the Covid and may have died from another underlying cause. A certification of death does not require a positive test result because it is in the medical professional's clinical opinion what the...

I'd have preferred a step by step approach to reopening. I would have been quite happy with pubs and restaurants reopening starting with a 10pm curfew, monitor that and only extend when it's clear numbers are staying low. Eat out to help out, message to get out might have helped those places...
