Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

In other news, this is the 'delta variant' symptom list...

Diarrhoea
Runny nose
Aches and pains
Headache
Vomiting
Sore throat
Being tired

So basically, this ain't COVID anymore, is it...

None of the symptoms are the same. Nothing about breathing difficulties, nothing about a cough or a fever.

You know what 'delta' is - it's a bloody seasonal sickness and diarrohea bug.

And it's spreading around like wildfire, and PCRs aren't even picking it up (some are, some aren't.)

Ludicrous.

Private enterprise can do what they please

Nah. You can"t say people who wear jeans can't enter your cafe just bcs you own the place. Loads of lawsuits about this in the past. Same goes to hijab wearing people at uni s or courtrooms etc.

I mean lads are regularly not allowed in night clubs or bars if they're in groups and since the start of time places have banned sportswear.

Also, it's not exactly comparable is it? You can't spread wearing adidas trainers. You can spread disease.

The exact symptoms my daughter had last week.
Had two tests both came back negative.

Yep.

So, my housemate had the craps, sickness and a cough. He tested positive on PCR after three negative lateral flows.

But he's fine now, basically had a three-day bug yet has to isolate until Friday. His girlfriend, with him in close proximity all week, nothing, on PCR or lateral flows.

My mate had nothing but a headache. Positive on PCR, positive on lateral flows before that. He has been ill, properly ill. Again, girlfriend and mum who he lives with, nothing.

I've had a sore throat and runny nose - I also happen to get bad hayfever and over the weekend the pollen count was very high. I have tested negative on 5 lateral flows now over the past 5 days.

My sister's fiance has aches and pains. Positive on lateral flow. My sister who has been with him all the time, negative on lateral flow and pcr, but is very tired. That's probably because she's just given birth a week ago, like, and not because she's got a bloody 'deadly virus' which happens to just share symptoms now with any bug ever.

I'm sorry, but it's ridiculous. And people are going to be isolating for this... and the testing in both LF and PCR is clearly inconsistent.

Get everyone vaccinated and jib it off.

It will be up to courts but I don't think it's legal or ethical

Whats this 30th September review about? I thought there was no going back?

I've been very confident for quite a while that there will be a winter lockdown. Will be a very depressing period of time if it happens.

It's not legal or ethical - and it's very sexist - for lads not to be allowed in bars and clubs if they're together or not with girls.

It's much more valid for Pete to decide that only double vaccinated people can go in his pub during a pandemic or as we look to get out of one.

Also, come the autumn, it will be legal.

It's where they decide that having hands and eyes is also a symptom of covid.

Sept 30th will be when they introduce the covid pass, because by then every adult will be double jabbed (if they've taken it). It'll be when they maybe deem if masks will be back to being mandatory. It'll be when they see if groups of six etc will have to be introduced over the winter months, maybe.

We won't be going into another full scale lockdown.

Will see, mate.

What are the walk in centres like where you are, Moomin?

They've been really prominent around my way. Four of my mates all got their first doses ahead of time by going to walk-ins.

It's definitely my go-to for this second, but just getting the date shifted forward to 8 weeks rather than 12 just so I can be booked in in case anything changes with the walk-ins.

Not been to any of the walk in centres so can't comment but they had mobile walk ins for first vaccinations a few weeks back around the North East and North Yorkshire.

i assume the others will be able to sit outside.

A group of 6 restriction in my opinion is not just. Especially if the majority are vaccinated.

If masks are made mandatory again when over 90% of adults are vaccinated when will they be removed? Surely if they'd bring back masks they should just keep them in place now?

Fair enough. Yeah I meant more are they prominent in the area?

I'm in Wakefield and there's two near me (as in within 2 miles) that are specifically walk-in, and another one that is the main vaccination centre for the district, but also is doing walk-ins.
