It's all well and good living with it but how can that be if kids miss school every time someone in their class tests positive? Kids who have had covid will get a 90 day exemption from isolating.

Here's an experience from today: One of my siblings is currently locked in their house awaiting a test because a child is symptomatic. They rang 111 before 9am and were advised the clinicians were extremely busy with the phones already and they'd ring back. Eventually the clinician rang back just before 1 with no tests left until late tomorrow afternoon. Meanwhile their whole household is under a direction until at least Thursday when they expect the results back. This is what happened at the start of the last outbreak. Oh and here's the latest hospitalisation stats from the UK https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/healthcare. Raigmore hospital in the Highlands is at code black due to covid rises. If you think it's all over it's not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that's a big comfort to the 8-15% of them that'll develop long COVID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think it's all over it's not. It's definitely not over. What is over though is lockdowns. The nuances of it now are around coping with it . Clearly locking down houses isn't practical.

Kids get ill all the time and often take weeks to recover properly. I'm unclear as to what you think the answer is? Covid isn't going away. Are you suggesting a permanent state of lockdown? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should the childless people get all the fun? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris has said double vaxed and under 18s won’t soon, so assume we will do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat people (like everyone) have a high moisture content which gives them negative calorific value. Even with all the fat, you have to put energy in for combustion.

I would be amazed if it was .1 percent, and even then that would depend on what you call long COVID. Mark Cavendish is having a good week. Did he have any effects over 4 weeks after the Epstein Virus he contracted and is he disabled for the rest of his life? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
