Are we still supposed to be staying at home other than for exercise and shopping? The meeting with up to 10 people seems to contradict this somehow. Well when it all goes tits up again - as it will - then it is the fault of the public. Edited April 4, 2021 by Barlow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thommo2010 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 This vaccine passport thing is going to set up a 2 tier society. The young ones who won't be vaccinated until last won't be able to go to certain places, how does that thrn work with say jobs? Now if there are 10 people in an office 8 are vaccinated 2 arent what's the issue if 2 aren't vaccinated? People were calling those that mentioned things like vaccine passport 6 months ago conspiracy nuts yet here we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative testing (or a negative result within 36 hours prior) on entry to events and 5 day follow up. Positive result proof within a time frame (natural immunity) Some of thing things being trialled domestically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The foreign travel I can understand as there are countries that are well behind its the things domestically I don't get as long as the vast majority are vaccinated then wheres the issue? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanShimmin Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Howard's being cracking the whip this weekend. Dr Glover appears to have him riled. Forcing overtime on his select civil servants to come up with a rebuttal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbie Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 9 minutes ago, Itsmeee said: I mean they have literally spent the last 12 months saying how useless lateral flow tests are. Lateral flow tests are improving both in terms of sensitivity (i.e. the number of false negative results) and specificity (the number of false positive results) so it makes sense for them to keep reviewing the situation. There will come a point when they have improved enough to make them worthwhile. They would no doubt be criticised if they didn't do that as the tests improve.

Dirty Buggane Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Wonder how many new residents and new posters appear on the run up to the PAC meeting ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) 3 hours ago, Happier diner said: I keep trying to tell Gladys this but i can't get it through. You can't test nothing. You're not testing nothing, you're testing people like SP and family, schoolkids. We also don't know if after the NYE cluster there were asymptomatic people who spread to other asymptomatic people, because they only were testing against symptoms. There is also the possibility that the indicative symptom list is not current. Edited April 4, 2021 by Gladys 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
