Stop wasting your time and oxygen Best one was: - who's in your house with you? - my wife and 2.5 year old son, both are positive and isolating too. - ok, can I have details of your wife? (Blah blah). -ok, can I send your wife reading materials and support on self isolating? -no it's cool. - ok, can I have details of your son? (Blah blah - reminder he is 2.5 years old). - ok, can I send your son reading materials and support on self isolating? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing has changed from what they do from when they started. They are still using Excel spreadsheets, still providing useless information and providing it too late.

Clearly the questions they ask haven't changed with the advice / scientific knowledge either What's worst is "I can't get to the next screen". She said this on a number of occasions when I didn't know a postocde of a gym or a number to my relative. I could be very ill with a fever, in bed, struggling, and they say "you need to tell me, not because it's important for public health, but because I can't progress to the next screen." She asked me to rate the service. I told her clearly, I don't blame you, it's your job, but the service is a bit of a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 My wife has it for the 2nd time and both my kids have tested positive. I've been in a covid infested house for 5 days, with kids coughing in my face and so far no symptoms and testing negative on daily LFT. I guess it's just a waiting game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's any help at all, my boss had his 2 kids come down with it before Christmas. His kids were absolutely fine but tested positive. Neither he or his wife came down with it so they had fun and games trying to entertain the kids at home for a while. They didn't enforce any isolation within the home (you can't do that with kids anyway) and my boss told me that when he did his LFT every day he thought "this must be the day..." but it didn't happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the lads in work is the King of Isolation. He's had to isolate 5 times because his family have had it. He only caught it the last time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep yourself off social media a few weeks before travelling and you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 A few experts are now declaring this the beginning of the end of the pandemic. The lowest number of confirmed cases today since 15th December. I bloody hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be finding it nigh on impossible to find new victims. Especially unvaccinated ones as its probably absolutely ripped through the non vaxxed dipshits.

New cases declared at under 100,000 today for the first day since 21 December. With one anomaly there has been 10 consecutive days of falling new case numbers now and todays 99,652 is less than half of that 10 day peak of 218,724. I really think we've broken the back of this mutha **** now, I really do. Hopefully cases just continue to tail off. Let's just pray it doesn't mutate upwards again. More and more scientists seem to be coming to the conclusion that we are very close to being able to go back to normal. Thank ****. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
