hissingsid Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I suspect there are loads of people just staying at home until they feel better and not going down the PCR route. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I misunderstood. I thought this bit meant that he had tested positive, but now realise it’s if he tests positive “It's his intention to keep quiet about testing positive and to carry on working in the cab that bothers me.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny F Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Have we had the genomic results back from Englandshire to tell us if we've got Omicron yet? Seems to be taking ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thommo2010 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Well on the news there the uk government putting in plans for a 2 week circuit break, which if previous circuit breaks are anything to go by will last more than that. So nearly 2 years on 2 vaccines a booster and we're still relying on lockdowns. I'm getting more convinced by the day aliens are watching us for entertainment like the truman show 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspected. if our PCR test can actually detect omicron. Dr Glover suggested it might not. I know people who have been contact traced due to contact with suspected Omicron. No rules on them having to isolate though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didnt think that through. 100,000 cases per day in the UK and the test doesnt pick up Omicron! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why oh why does someone at Government not grab the bull by the horns and open alternative hubs, the secondary schools are now closed, have plenty of parking and would reduce traveling and queuing, just make it happen! 5 hours ago, hissingsid said: They probably haven’t got the people to administer or the storage facilities or cubicles there is some privacy involved.

Yet. Saying that, I'm not sure I've ever called for a lockdown, nor do I think we need one. Just wear a mask, it's not a big ask.

What privacy? There's no real privacy at the Chester St hub nor is any needed. You get the jab in your arm, not your backside. All they really need are some tables and chairs. It can be done anywhere where there's enough space. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not think more cases are being picked up because the uk government have been asking people to test pretty much every time they leave the house? So in reality people have been having it but just didn't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
