I self tested this morning before I went for my booster, came home from the jab to find out that the Mrs, Daughter and granddaughter have all tested positive


I am still clear, so looks like battling the peasants in the Christmas supermarket queues this week is just down to me.

can't wait.

sigh.......
My missus (who doesn't live with me) tested positive on a PCR. We all went for tests on Wednesday because her son had symptoms. It turns out that he actually has Tonsillitis and is covid negative, as am I.

She has zero symptoms and is testing negative daily on lateral flow tests

No idea what's going on TBH
 
Out of curiosity, would the anti-vax, let’s just live with it brigade be happy to sacrifice a partner or a parent so they can go back to normal? Ie go the pub when they want and go on holiday abroad a couple of times a year for the next 5 years, say.
Don't agree with this. Most people in this country are pro vaccine but anti lockdown.

Just because I think we need normality and think restrictions are a joke, doesnt mean I'm anti vax. I'm really the total opposite.

The people asking for a lockdown are undermining the vaccine efforts by showing a lack of trust. Anti vaxxers are using this as ammo. Why have a lockdown if the vaccine works is what they are saying. Its a big concern.
 
Tell the experts that. They still have nothing to offer but lockdown

My point is more aimed using evidence like this which shows the same amount of cases as last year but about a 10th of the deaths. So we are not in the same position as 2 years ago.
There will be no silver bullet here unfortunately. See both sides of the lockdown debate to be honest but it’s not something that bothers me too much. Just hoping my folks don’t get it.

You don’t think there is a high correlation between anti-vax and anti-lockdown?

Anyway, if the above doesn’t apply to you then it’s clearly not a question for you.

Not really no. Almost everyone I know has taken the jab but is against a lockdown.

The media and government should be representing that view point
 
Queensland (total pop. 5M, half who live in greater Brisbane) with 67 active cases In Total has gone with about 90 % of the UKs mask wearing protocols
UK had 88,000 in one day.

Getting in early or over reaction??

Its starting to gain traction in NSW and the boosters need to be rolled out earlier than the 5 months gap at present.
But as Australia is basically shut now until the end of Jan, so not a lot will happen

I am probably wrong, with the percentages 70+39.3 =109.3, does that mean 3 doses means you are immune? If it does, havent they said that with the new variant you/we are only 80% proteted? Head is falling off with all this.
 
Do you think that there are many people pro vax but anti lockdown?
Yes lots and lots, pretty much everyone i know.

We have to trust the vaccines, and stop going from lockdown to lockdown. It should be about personal responsibility. If you don't feel comfortable being out and about that's totally fine. But you shouldn't support stopping others if they do feel comfortable.

Lockdowns do enormous damage and the thought of another one is horrible. Who is speaking up for those who suffered from financial, mental health, other health issues due to lockdown? Why are they forgotten?

Sorry I edited to what I meant!

I'd be wanting to check those LFTs, sounds like a ruse...:)

Banter aside hope all keep well...
