Just tested positive on a lateral flow. Absolutely gutted. No symptoms but was doing one ahead of the family get together. Bastarding virus

Yes funding is required that's been obvious for decades.. you know what's definitely not going to sort it out, shutting down large parts of the economy while throwing hundreds of billions at covid, under no circumstances is this nearly close to being even anything that resembles a remote possibility that this can continue into even the short to medium term let alone long term., I've run out of words to describe how ludicrous it is to think things can continue this way. Even when every human alive today has died humans will still be paying for this.
When governments realise that they can't keep doing this, that's when to get a test you'll have to have a symptom, then they'll push it out to a few symptoms, this process will start soon probably spring.

I will try and make this as simple as possible for you:

what we were doing before COVID

made the consequences of COVID (lockdowns, restrictions, unnecessary infections and deaths) more likely

therefore we should not go back to what we were doing before COVID

if we want to not have those consequences again

The mental gymnastics that the anti vaxxers are engaging in is wild. 1% chance of dying from COVID, “That’s almost nothing, I’ll continue living my life as if there’s no threat.” 0.000001% chance of a bad outcome from vaccination, “OMG, people are dropping like flies from these vaccines, don’t get that poison anywhere near me!!”

Sadly its because very few of them have faced any consequences for being so repeatedly wrong - there are loads of reporters, "commentators" and media outlets who have published absolute wham for two years now.

Sorry mate, awful timing.

At least you know that you didn’t gift any of your family with it and wishing you a quick recovery.

Crazy that it is taking this long to remove the travel bans

His posts remind me of being back at school and the English teacher suddenly falls ill and the PE teacher has to fill in and teach Hamlet and pretend they actually know what’s going on.

And I'll make my point as simple as possible,
Keeping on throwing hundreds billions at covid is completely unsustainable for any government and doing so while closing large parts of the economy is even less than completely unsustainable.
It won't happen because it can't happen.

right, so how do you stop that from happening?

apart from the ostriching you've been advocating so far

JCVI issues new vaccination advice for children and young people

Vaccinations are to be offered to 5 to 11 year olds who are at higher risk from coronavirus (COVID-19).

www.gov.uk

You'll perhaps note that his (Professor Wei Shen Lim) speciality is in community-acquired infections. "Maybe" he knows more than you and I. He certainly knows more than me, so if he says this is a good thing, I'm not going to start wheeling out random weirdos from YouTube who say my head will fall off or it'll cause ghosts to start feeling me up in my sleep.

Still no evidence that an emergency approved vaccine is necessary to be given 3-4 times over 6-12 months to stop under 30's from dying of COVID.

You do realise the AZ vaccine was not offered to under 30's because the risks even for unvaccinated under 30's from COVID wasn't a million miles away from the potential adverse blood clotting of the AZ jab?

Yet you want to pump these jabs every 3 months to kids.

Fanatical is the only word for it Bruce.

Yeah exactly, gutted now but just glad I didn’t pass it onto anyone vulnerable.

Won’t be the only one in this position, I imagine lots will be eating crimbo dinner alone this year!

Imigine he said I think I'll do a root canal although it's not really necessary.

Wouldn't be the first dentist..

Think we should just plan on having another Christmas dinner on Jan 25th so we can catch up with all those that missed the original!

I’d do another one to confirm that if you haven’t had symptoms.

Ave booked a PCR but probs be 24 hours or so to get results so fingers crossed. More than likely do another lateral flow too

Fingers crossed it’s a false positive mate. Every PCR test I’ve done has come through about 9 or 10am the next day no matter what time I took it.
