Day 10 in a few hours if I cheat slightly, still LFD positive but I’ve had enough and shall be waking the daughter to school like a dog off its lead.
Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Even if you accept at face value what this study says, and it has some problems, it doesn't mean what the usual suspects are saying it means.
Social distancing and all that stuff works, that is a fact, not an opinion. If people are sensible enough to do it without a mandate, fine, in that case a mandate is not needed. But the study does not evaluate the effect of moving from a mandate to relying on people's good sense. There is adequate evidence that there is insufficient good sense around. You, for example, declared around 'Freedom Day' that you would not wear a mask again unless required by law to do so.

I mean, I suppose you know best but this WHO report shows that Non Pharmaceutical Public health measures have virtually no effect on a Pandemic.

If I have Covid but we’re 10 miles apart due to lockdown you won’t catch it from me. Also, it drives the R number down which protects the NHS. That doesn’t mean you won’t get it at a later date but it stops you getting it when I have it, ergo although we both get it, getting it at different times flattens the peaks.
Stretching the time of the spread also creates a window for more people to be vaccinated, lessening the impact on them or even stopping them from getting it. Again, that protects the NHS.
Without lockdowns there would be more linearity in the infection and mortality rates. Nah, I think the piece is a crock…

Given that London Underground have signs and announcements reminding travellers that use of electric unicycles in stations and on platforms is forbidden, that's a big "if" for some of our citizens.

Damn, I was thinking of getting a new unicycle.

The no-mask in school now playing thru... half of our kids footy team now tested positive this week. They are all in different schools. Half of my son's class now on online lessons. In some ways, I am assuming it is ok for it to go thru the kids system. The only worrying bit is that there seems to be some case of reinfections too. One of the boys has got it the second time around in 6 weeks. Whatsapp messages says first it was Delta and now its Omicron..

Just don't get an electric one and you'll be fine. Unless the sign specifically bans them as well as electric ones.

How do they know? None of the positive testing results my family got mentioned the variants.

Same here. School gates open at 8:40, will be in the queue at 8:25 to drop him off 1st. ;-) 8:42 I am back home for some quiet time before work.
Weekend will be outside, even if it rains.

Yep, same here, gates open at 8:45am and we'll be there early to chuck her over the fence and enjoy a Friday of (relative) peace!!
Wife is due to be released on Saturday and, baring the two days of negative tests, I think I am Tuesday.

Even I was confused,.. just re-read the message in WA.... i think, there it was sarcasm.. 'twice in 6 weeks - must’ve been lucky enough to get delta last time and omicron this time'

Definite reinfections at ours, loads of children/parents who had it in November/December have been or are presently infected.

It’s dated 2019 so I guess it’s coming up to 3 years old.

I had no doubt that you would have major objections. Also, I do not remember ever saying that I would not wear a mask again. Indeed, I would on a busy tube or train
