Yes, we can now throw caution to the winds.
No need to bother matron.
I wonder what they'll call the next virus. Black Death?

Literally people will ignore this. Was established very early on that ethnicity and lifestyle will increase of decrease the severity of this virus. However, here we are Dr Julius Hibberts, everywhere...

May be controversial opinion here, but...
It's about friggin time that restrictions are now a thing of the past and 'living with covid' is now being accepted, IMO. People need to take responsibility for their own lives and act accordingly. We can't tiptoe around it any longer.

Telling people to carry on isolating when they've got it doesn't seem that extreme though.
Hopefully things will get a bit easier this year. Holidays abroad seem to be a lot more straight forward this year which is great.

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
If you are sick enough you'll isolate same as any other sickness.. there's loads of transmissible diseases that can kill and pre covid we never gave them a second thought while going about our lives, that's what covid will become probably/hopefully by the summer.

I agree that ideally most people will stay away from work but you still always get those idiots who turn up looking half dead spreading illnesses throughout the workplace.
Hopefully the mentality of turning up ill will have changed a bit.

I don't know what it's like in the UK but sick pay in Ireland is not mandatory at the moment it is coming, so in the absence of sick pay people would have to go to work many can't afford to be off sick, hopefully that's something the pandemic will change for the better..
Statutory Sick Pay scheme moves a step closer
In 2022, the government confirmed that Ireland’s first statutory sick pay scheme would come into force in 2023.

In fairness my earlier post was a bit harsh, I have worked in places were you work from home if you're ill so you would get paid anyway but you still get people going in ill like it's a good thing.
Obviously if you really need money and there's no sick pay its a lot more understandable when people go in.

SSP is mandatory in the UK, and if you need to isolate, most employers would/should treat that in the same way you if are off sick with a Doctors note.
Problem is, its not so great for zero hours contracts, and "self employed" folk who are self employed in name only. Think most home delivery drivers.
I'm currently on day 3/5 of isolation before I can re-test.
If Boris pulls the plug tonight will I be expected back at work tomorrow ?

Dunno. What I do know, is that after 2 years of all sorts of rules and guidance, scrapping the lot in one go will lead to all sorts of similar questions.
Indeed, it doesn't seem fair to my work colleagues rocking up to work potentially still contagious, but I'm sure its going to be the norm very soon.

Guess we see what he has to say at 7.00pm.
I am in the tiny minority who has never done a test, but for millions it has become almost a routine. Today? Do a weekly/daily test. Tomorrow? Zippo.
