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

It's cunts trying to get off work during the festive period. 

Maybe. 
 

Probably also likely that people are double checking etc when meeting up with potentially vulnerable relatives. 
 

I was meant to go my folks' last night with my Grandmother but my brother produced 3 positive LFs. 
 

So we all just stayed at home. Best not to risk it.

Not a chance, Consi. There would have been far more folk doing that months ago if that was the general mindset. 

Why do you think folk don't want to work?

Correct. More family visits = more LFT's being done.

Genuine question Consi:

before this shitshow would you have gone to your granny’s if one of you had a sniffle? If no, what if you all felt fine, maybe not realising your brother had a cold coming on?

 

 

Aye. 
 

These are the times we live in though.

Fair enough.

Eh just don’t see the difference though. Maybe with delta and the others but not omicron.

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. 
 

Grandmother also currently has a chest infection so best to not tempt fate.

Sure, completely understandable.

[Ke1t]

Omicron is 12 times as transmissable, as previous variants,  but way less severe?

Will be interesting if it mutates to be 12 times as severe as previous variants inna.

Then there'll be shenanigans boy howdy ?

So naive. These vulnerable folk are double vaccinated and have a booster. 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]

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. It’s all happening in England which means it’s yer black n paki driving it. We shouldn’t be shackled with that lot

Of course there will be some people hoping to get it without symptoms, especially people with full sick pay.

Naive in the extreme to think otherwise.

He claimed that the rise in folk doing LFT's was heehaw to do with folk trying to be cautious and was instead driven by folk hoping to get positive results so that they don't have to work.

But you said " Your claim that people are "praying" for a positive test is dumb as fuck tbh." and that is incredibly naive. There will be people wanting a positive.

"Instead, the country should have put far more effort into protecting the vulnerable. Well over 30,000 people died of Covid-19 in Britain’s care homes. On average, each home got an extra £250,000 from the government to protect against the virus, he calculates. “Much more should have been spent on providing protection for care homes,” says Woolhouse, who also castigates the government for offering nothing more than a letter telling those shielding elderly parents and other vulnerable individuals in their own homes to take precautions"

@Parklife

You'll have to get on to this guy and tell him this theory has been "discredited" and is impossible.

[Poodler]

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

The scientist cunt will be cancelled straight away

[manboobs109]

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.

[dazzy_deff]

Those who LFT before visiting someone...bunch of goons. 

[aberdeen1970]

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.
