sidcow Posted December 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) My brothers housemate has tested positive this morning. As well as living together they've also been posting various pictures of themselves drinking in the pubs recently. What's the chance of him not having it? Going for a PCR test today but I expect that's Christmas his ****. Edited December 20, 2021 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I somehow never passed it onto my wife and I wasn't banished to the spare room until the day of my symptoms and positive LFT so there is hope. I would assume I had Delta rather than Omicron though.

cheltenham_villa Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Positive test for my daughter today, she's 7. The rest of us all negative, my son only had it a few weeks ago and none of us caught it. Just in the middle of cancelling all my Christmas plans. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Another ‘lockdown’, great. I’d be seething if I worked in the hospitality sector. Most people I know won’t follow any rules about not socialising so it’s basically just a lockdown on pubs, restaurants etc. These half measures don’t achieve much. But of course, when cases start to fall, like they always do, it’ll be because of our wonderful government imposing these necessary curbs on our freedom. Fed up.

So the best way to control the virus to to just ignore it and cases will just fall by themselves due to all the mixing going on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted December 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 20, 2021 Sorta lockdown 2 days after the day with the highest household mixing of the year. Brilliant. Performative bollocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a highly infectious deadly disease, without vaccines it probably would be as deadly as the plague. It's an odd comparison you are making. Yes, we absolutely should treat it like the plague. The plague killed at least a third of the population of the "known" world in less than ten years and possibly as much as 60%. It was one of the greatest tragedies in human history; people living through it literally thought it was the end of the world. Clearly covid would not have been as deadly as the plague even if we didn't have vaccines or lockdowns. Please stop exaggerating the threat it poses.

Performative bollocks. I suppose there is some logic behind it, if you’ve picked it up at the family party then best to stay home for a few days afterwards.

sidcow Posted December 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 20, 2021 In more sane news Novavax has been approved by the EU. Isn't that the one which is filled and finished in Barnard Castle? That one had gone of the radar somewhat but assuming the EU doses are still manufactured there that's a good news story for the North East.

Ingram85 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Unless you have dogs to walk or shops to go to of course. Can’t be applying this lockdown to literally everyone, only the ones who are positive but who aren’t careful.
