Coronavirus

Here @The Buzzard say one of my family gets a positive PCR and is fucked with Covids does that mean I can still go to work so long as I do a LFT?

Does fully vaccinated mean the booster as well ? 

Yeah. 
 

No further restrictions being added abd with a view to deciding where we are at come 17 January. 
 

General sense I got was that they know they can't curtail omicron much more and it needs to be a case of definitely living with it now - she says it's unlikely to be the last variant.

I think they are moving towards LFTs being  a definitive result now. Rather than getting a positive LFT then sending for a PCR to confirm you treat the LFT as gospel. Negative = crack on. Positive = isolate.

Which begs the question why did we need a PCR in the first place ? Cheers for the replies Buzz btw

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.

You might get more details on that in questions afterwards. I was skimming again.

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......

Another boy in the bar having to self isolate after testing positive

I just laugh now it is total lunacy

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. 

[Ohjimmyjimmy 807]

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.

Or just registering a negative result regardless 

[aberdeen1970 2,406]

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. 

[jamiesd 132]

The lateral flow tests are like Lego.  Hopefully we can build a houses with the used ones.  #recycle #climatechange

Cold temperatures don’t give you the cold.

Bit pedantic but never mind. 

Exposure to cold air can adversely impact the body's immune system.  It can also irritate other conditions such as asthma for example.

If by cold you mean hypothermia then you’re more accurate.

Aye. Also see answer to Hanz above. 

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.

Imagine you’d been saying the tests were a load of shite for the last year and a half…

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

What about wearing your big coat indoors? Does that detract from  its outdoor effectiveness?

I was told it would mean i catch pneumonia. 

.edit..... Bollocks, that was not wearing the big coat at all.

Apologies to everyone concerned.

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.
