My pre-travelling to my sister’s for New Year lateral flow test is positive.

A friend of mine has got an appointment for her FOURTH vaccine. I thought the whole booster jab only lasting for 10 weeks was a CROCK. Obviously not.

You're going to your sisters to have a lateral flow test?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I just ordered some lateral flow tests. Seconds later Mr Ag can't!

I didn't think a decision had been made on whether they were going to be offered yet. Are they particularly vulnerable?

She has COPD.

Well not any more. The one that I did before travelling down there was positive.

Any idea where you might have got it from? It really is everywhere

I went the football on the 27th, which seems substantially the most likely source. I’ll probably never know for sure.

It really is quite annoying, because if you pull the things apart it's literally just a test strip. The plastic is next to useless.

I’d imagine things could easily go wrong without the frame but surely it would have worked just as well with a thicker paper material?

 

[Pingu]

She has COPD.

Presumably she’s entitled to a third dose plus a booster. That’s been the case for some people long before the 10-week finding so I don’t think it has anything to do with that.

The ones we have here are just thick paper, not plastic, and it hasn't been a problem for me at all?

Hope your symptoms (if any) aren't too bad x

Thanks. No symptoms at all yet. If I hadn’t been planning to travel, I wouldn’t have taken a test.

Is this a euphemism?

Is this a euphemism?

A euphemism for my inability to type properly, maybe.

I don’t know what mask wearing is like in London atm, but it’s SHOCKING in Manchester (if this bs situation could shock me).

Somehow even worse in Manchester than in London. I’m genuinely shocked.

 

[lolly]

I've been into town and on the bus today, and reckon it's about two thirds mask compliance here.

 

[Tetris-Rock]

One thing I will say for Scotland ... my experience suggests mask wearing is generally pretty high.

 

[ManicKangaroo]

Helped by the fact we've not removed it and reintroduced it months later

 

[Tetris-Rock]

Do correct me if i’m talking shite but I also reckon there is just a bit more respect for the government given that Nicola hasn’t been flagrantly taking the piss the whole time.

 

[ManicKangaroo]

Also true

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Do correct me if i’m talking shite but I also reckon there is just a bit more respect for the government given that Nicola hasn’t been flagrantly taking the piss the whole time.

Yeah, the worst any of the cabinet have been caught out with, I think, is when Nicola forgot to put her mask on when she was stood at a table at a funeral. And everyone saw that for the non-story it was.

Another record number of cases!

 

[Indie]

Another record number of cases!

 

[lolly]

Are we up to a million in the last week yet?

 

[big ron]

Another record number of cases!

So proud

 

[big ron]

South Africas wave is over though so looks as this remix doesnt hang around for long

 

[Dark Carnival]

Another record number of cases!

Us too!!

 

[Phoenix]

We’re breaking records as well, nearly 17k in Ontario today.

I’m shitting it about the pcr I have to take next week before I travel back. Getting stuck in Turkey would not be ideal.

 

[Marina Salty]

Us too!!

Samesies. And I notice there's a little *whoo this is the mild variant let's all get it now and be done with it * notion in the minds of people.

 

[octophone]

Getting pinged is, once again, fast becoming the national pasttime. They're going down like skittles in here right now.

My nephew's wife's Grandma has VEHEMENTLY REFUSED to have the vaccine and turned up to my Mum's over Christmas and my Mum APPARENTLY refused to let her in. (This I don't believe at all). ANYHOO, said nephew and his wife have done the most ridiculous amount of socialising all over Christmas, with literally a different party of 10-12 people every fucking day, loads of kids' clubs and activities and just absolutely zero thought for anything. I've banned them from going to see my Mum and LO AND BEHOLD, yesterday, the wife has tested positive and she's passed it onto the unvaccinated Grandma who she has taken the kids to see in Cambridge.

Whilst I don't wish anyone DEAD, I am kind of hoping it's not just a cold and actually WAKES THEM THE FUCK UP.

 

[Phoenix]

Lockdown again ….I’m ded (also not in Canada yet).

 

[Soldi]

I’ve agreed to work two twelve hour shifts at my other job for one weekend at the end of the month so large venues to close please x

 

[AGinAg (37)]

It doesn’t sound like anything is changing I'm England. I'm relieved but also agog and annoyed that we'd been lead to think we would be.

I have no idea how much masks in the classroom will effect teaching.

 

[Sheena]

It just feels like a lack of or late action AGAIN. For the third time.

 

[lolly]

If I see Johnson or any of the other fuckers refer to an incoming surge in deaths or hospital admissions as 'inevitable', I'm going to fucking scream. Of course it's inevitable when you've done fuck all to prevent it.
