Indy is an outdoor event that usually takes place on a hot sunny day, which is perfect conditions for killing airborne virus. I've been watching the basketball play offs pretty much full indoor stadiums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if she is out and about this weekend she is in for a shock as there are hundreds (probably over a thousand) of people who have been wandering around the dirty cesspool that is the UK in the last few days. Lots of them only got off the boat or plane on Friday and they will be in pubs and clubs today. sending her kids to school after TT/ half term will be a shock as loads of them will have been back on island less than 48 hours. My daughters primary class is 26 and about half of them are away this week Edited June 6, 2021 by trmpton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stinking enigma Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I would imagine she came over here thinking it was safer but then when she got here it began to dawn upon her that we were winging it the whole time. She'll settle into the malaise soon enough, these things take a little time. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trmpton Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Have they actually said what happens when we do inevitably get people testing positive on day 6 after being out and about for 5 days? I assume that person isolates and everyone else (Including their own family) carries on as normal? Then assume that once the end of June comes we stop testing full stop, so what happens if someone say tests positive on hospital admission? Would be harsh to make someone isolate when we know there will always be several hundred undetected cases wandering about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track and trace will be fun. I hope that when this happens we just say sod it. Yes the infected person would have to isolate for 2 weeks and everyone else in the household. But finding all the close contacts....no chance unless they are hermits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my son only tested positive on day 21 after several negative tests. I seem to remember from somewhere that 21 day testing was brought in to stop negative cases from infecting others out in the general public. Yes, but that was then and now we have vaccines so no one cares about cases in the wild anymore. Time to move forward - at last 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if it gets in the strategy is to mitigate and control. That's what we are told is the plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering what the point is in testing at all if people aren't positive until the 21st day. No idea. The idea of testing is to reduce the risk, but not totally eradicate it. Accepting that it's not the gold standard I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
