From another forum I post
Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

herd immunity was always the goal and surely it is for every country - for the entire planet. There is no alternative. Not test and trace, not lockdowns, not completely banning travel. We can never eradicate covid now, Aus and NZ have shown that, but we can at least minimise its effectiveness which largely has been done by vaccination.
Just how they get there is obviously what's up for debate.
Vaccination is the best policy and thankfully it's been good here, generally speaking.
I agree, the lot of them should be thrown in jail for numerous things, but general levels of immunity in the population is how diseases become much less serious. Not continuous restrictions and quarantines that will go on forever and ever because whenever something opens up there'll always be a spike.
The juries out on this opening up .......
Bin it off mate, say you're in the trial. If someone asks which one, tell them you've just made it up. Almost worked for BoJo, if not for those pesky kids...
You lateral flowing/getting tested yourself?
It's a complete nonsense.

The boy is refusing to isolate, he says he will lose his job if hes off for 10days, the missus will lose a huge amount of money, we struggled for a bit after our last isolation, my heads burnt rar off.
We have all just had a lateral flow, all negative.
My daughter has the other 1 in work, thats the 1 thats come back positive.
It's completely bonkers and completely unfair. In 3 weeks, if you're double jabbed you'd be able to not isolate anyway unless you were positive.
There's obviously the financial reasons - like you've mentioned - but then everything else that goes with it as well, and all the added stress.
If you sacked it off I don't think anyone could get on their high horse. And, if I'm right, then test and trace would actually advise your daughter not to get a PCR if she's had it recently, because PCRs can sometimes pick up positives from cases that are up to three months old (that's what they told my housemate).
I've got it, so far pretty on and off mild but it's basically got me like a bad cold so hopefully nothing more than that - could be that my first dose is doing a job as it's been just over three weeks since I had it. My mum and dad have both been double jabbed and are testing every day as negative, though, and aren't isolating.
They are being sensible. Doing all shopping online. My dad works from home and really only gets out to go on his bike so he's not gonna be too much of a danger to anyone anyway, but my mum works self-employed as a nanny for two doctors. She's told them that I'm positive but they've told her to still come to work as long as she's testing negative - their reasoning being they're both in a bloody hospital all day anyway. She also has to help look after my nan but fortunately my aunt is able to pick up the slack for the next week or so.
I've already lost £200 just from having to miss a day at work today and next Tuesday now. Would have paid my rent for the house I'm not bloody able to live in at the moment
I share your frustration.
Two of my Grandkids tested positive on Sunday, (I picked them up from school on Friday and they spent the weekend here)
Wife tested positive yesterday (double jabbed and had been working on Friday after coming out of retirement to administer the vaccine)
Not sure any virus could live on me TBH lol but obviously it means 10 days in isolation for me too.

I woke up yesterday feeling like I'd been run over by a steamroller, took a lateral flow and tested positve so been for the proper test just waiting on that. Its the 2nd day off my holidays so been in touch with my mates who i was having a pint with.
Most have said to say don't mention their names to test and trace as they can't be off not getting paid for 10 days, one of them fancied some time off so phoned work to tell them he'd been sitting most of the afternoon having a few pints with me but was told to come into work anyway.

Does seem crazy. There was a woman on the news in hospital due to covid and she had been double jabbed. Just got to hope it continues to be a very small percentage of admissions as basically it's going to spread like wildfire here on in.
My missus and daughter havent been able to get in touch with their bosses yet, they both fully expect to be told to come into work, which is quite scary.
Send Vaccines Where People Want Them: Developing Nations
COVID-19 vaccine acceptance is significantly higher in low- and middle-income countries than wealthy ones. Prioritizing those countries for vaccine distribution could help save more lives and keep variants at bay.

Just - no. Herd immunity as a policy guarantees deaths, on a huge scale as we have seen.
No other disease has been managed by “let’s get as many people infected as possible”, for entirely sensible reasons. Doing it (even now after many have been vaccinated) has put thousands in hospital and killed hundreds. As a policy it is criminal.
