NEM 3,597 Posted January 5 Just now, Sooper-hanz said: I’ll tell you where this is going . ‘Do a lateral flow but if you have no symptoms ,crack on‘. This will result in no cunt doing any tests whatsoever. I had 3 negative lateral flows before a positive PcR. The next lateral flow was positive but the line was faint as fuck. In conclusion the lateral flows are a waste of time, looks like they want to let the virus rip. Herd immunity here we come...... Share this post Link to post

aberdeen1970 2,834 Posted January 5 More or less an admission today that the virus is now endemic and the genie is well and truly out of the bottle. Time to bring restrictions to an end. 2 Share this post Link to post
Ohjimmyjimmy 874 Posted January 5 Cheers Buzz, what would the Hat do without you? Probably wait half an hour before ignoring whatever the FM says, but still - good to have someone ITK on here unlike the usual bullshit-merchants. Share this post Link to post

aberdeen1970 2,834 Posted January 5 We've now got secondary schools asking kids to test on arrival then putting healthy young people wearing masks with negative test results into classrooms with windows open all day so they can all catch colds. It's all fucked up. Share this post Link to post
jamiesd 182 Posted January 5 The lateral flow tests are like Lego. Hopefully we can build a houses with the used ones. #recycle #climatechange Share this post Link to post

Lowering the immune system of healthy people through increased exposure to cold temperatures will make them more susceptible to catching colds and funnily enough, covid itself.

You don't catch the cold by being cold min. Likewise going outside with wet hair doesn't put you more at risk either. Share this post Link to post

Ke1t 4,438 Posted January 5 New variant identified in France, makes Omicron seem difficult to catch by comparison, allegedly. Just need one of these new variants to be as lethal as it is infectious and we can really get the party started. Share this post Link to post
