I can't stand him but it does depend what he means by "feeling groggy". Currently you can only get a PCR test if you have a temperature, new constant cough or lost your taste or smell.
I mean in his position he should probably be clearer but he hasn't necessarily gone against NHS guidance.

Er actually the symptoms are now so widespread (@roydo one of the supposed symptoms of Delta is 'tiredness') that it's probably more sensible to just do an LF first. Test positive on one of them and yeah, go get PCR.
Obviously if you have clear symptoms - fever, cough etc, that's different. But the supposed symptoms of delta are pretty much everything under the sun. People shouldn't be rushing to get PCRs and having to isolate for 10 days for a bloody cold.

Yeah, saw that the other day. Could box most off any day. So my refrain has remained, if I dont get it, Mrs R wont. So I make sure, as best I can, that I dont get it.
And my faux Dr Roydo take on those symptoms is that they are so slight, that the danger from this latest Delta thing is less than previous ones. As in, not one of them would cause any consternation pre Covid, and certainly not one of them would cause a hypoxic cardiac arrest, which is what actually kills you.
So fever/temp, cough, and smell/taste equals Covid Max; will take our chances with a headache if thats ok.

Hows the wife getting on mate?

Splendidly thanks mate. All things considered.
She has bad days, (dont we all), and a few horrible nights, (PTSD), but they are both less and less. The thing is, (soz mods, straying off topic), the number of folk of her age and build, (she is tiny) and stuff that survive what she did is so small, that the medics have not a clue what her medium and long term prognosis is likely to be.
Like bought her a walking frame gizmo the other week, so she was whizzing about the house, then did some exercise bike stuff, and that utterly knackered her rib cage and sternum. (both of which were smashed) So, back on the sofa for a fortnight. What can you do but just be there? But she smiled earlier when I was wearing a new Everton training top.
"Thats looks sound Roydo"
"Yeah Nik, we are crap on the pitch, but look nice"

I was just a bit warm and footie gear is comfy. She has put dibs on another top I was sent by a good virtual mate on here ffs.
I vividly remember when I was called to the BRI Hospital, and being told she had 20 mins. An hour or so later she was still alive, and I told the Doctor, Sanjay Shah, that she would prove them wrong. It wasnt a plaintive cry for sommet, I knew.
She will probably choke on the Satay Chicken later now!

Welcome back Wayne
I’ve given up on the stats now, we are scaring ourselves into permanent lockdown. By us we have loads of cases, yet in the last three weeks no one has died. People are fed up with this ultra cautious approach. Come Monday I shall be burning my mask (I don’t use buses, I don’t use the underground, I don’t go into Tesco’s). I will continue to be sensible for the next few months but we have to get back to normal life…..
Or, if you have such symptoms, perhaps take a free PCR test and discover if you have the virus at no cost to yourself and little expense of time and effort?

My brother tested positive today, only had one jab. Said fluey with a constant headache.
Yesterday he was saying how he enjoys a half of bottle of wine and hayfever haze... Turns out it was COViD lol
