It is 7 days. Says there almost 1 million tests being carried out daily in England. Ridiculous amount of waste that’s producing. You’d think Greta and co would have something to say Link to comment

Omicron does seem less severe. I suggested wiping down surfaces and keeping my bro in his room. Is what it is. Better safe than sorry.

Protecting elderly relatives is not the reason for the increase in lateral flow tests. Certainly is within my family. Your claim that people are "praying" for a positive test is dumb as fuck tbh.

Poodler Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Keep hearing all these doomsday predictions on the news, worst case scenarios etc, they’re really ramping up the fear now. oh boy are you all gonna pay for visiting each other at Xmas, just you wait. well there’s fuck all happening up here.

Poodler Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Care homes are mainly private aren’t they? why is it up to the government to pay for making them safe, they charge old cunts about 1000p/w to be ‘looked after’ by Nigerian business students. Private care providers should be stepping up Link to comment

manboobs109 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Gotta keep the old fogeys "safe" though. I've never understood why they decided it's easier to try and stop everyone getting it rather than just the people most at risk. That guy is saying today what I was saying in March 2020. Better late than never I suppose. Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Protecting the vulnerable is effectively the policy that England is following now. Staying in if you've got symptoms and testing before you visit/meet up with folk. The sooner we accept that this is endemic and we treat it like flu the quicker we can get back to normal. 1 Link to comment
