Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

[HomerJSimpson]

Having been looking forward to a relaxation of restrictions and with a significant birthday coming up, we'd booked a trip to Scotland for some golf & a few distillery visits.

And as a result of a weak positive LFT & a confirmed positive PCR, I've spent the evening cancelling everything. My true thoughts would see me with a significant holiday from here, if not a permanent ban.

Tough break. Hope you can find an alternative date and the symptoms aren't too bad

Been to Mcarthur Glen at York today. Flippin eck the floods.However I had been there 5 mins and thought oh heck me mask. I had it on for the next 2 hours. One of my first thoughts was I am in Lanzarote in less than 2 weeks so the last thing I need is COVID. i was gobsmacked how many people are now not wearing them.

Thanks Chris.

You mean the government?

I think I mean the state. The government determines; the state provides (or doesn't).

 

[ExRabbit]

Allowed to leave my home legally now, but staying there until I pass the rules in place when I tested positive last week.

It's the only one I've been to. It is a great advert for online shopping.

Wow, that's unlucky.
Wishing you well.

As of today all those who's children 100% have Covid but are feeling okay have been told they should be in school - staying at home is at best the parents choice.

Best of luck to all the unvaxed children and teachers out there and their families.

Imposition of the 'herd immunity' process!
Ok for those without 'at risk' relatives/neighbours, but not great for those with such vulnerable associates!

But unless they're showing symptoms how will anyone know if they '100% have Covid'? If they have symptoms they're still obliged to say at home and isolate for 5 full days and test negative for 2 consecutive days as per DfE guidance, this is until April 1st.

Those who aren't showing symptoms will be in school just like adults will still be at work as they won't be testing so would never know.

Thanks, I think...

As far as I'm aware, just before these restrictions were lifted, there was no requirement for school kids to test for Covid? My work colleague said his primary school kids did not have to, and the kids at a secondary school his wife taught at did not have to, although recommended 2 tests a week at home would be beneficial. So, I am guessing plenty of kids were not being tested anyway, especially if they didn't have any symptoms (of course, I'm sure some families made a decision to have regular tests).

So, I wonder if the situation now is practically much different to before?

Unlucky's one word for it... Thanks mate.

Shocked at how many peopl still wearing masks on my commute in London today. Probably 25% of people still wearing them, I would as convinced more people would bin the face fashion.
