However, there is nothing on IOMG website that displays easily from google, etc. Any thoughts? They only need to record positive tests not daily negative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you other occupant would have tested positive if they had ventured beyond a nasal swab? If no one else is going the extra mile why should I? Did you call 111 for guidance as I suggested? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They suggested I take nasal swabs as in the instructions and that if those were clear I was good to go. I have stayed home for a week anyway as a precaution, during which time I have seen more evidence that for omicron a throat swab is more likely to show an early and accurate result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the information/request on the front of the box - a sticker advising users how to record, and the information to put down doesn’t match with the form on the website. For example it tells you about recording the serial number, batch code etc along using the reference CTA Travel. The form in the website doesn’t allow for the user to put in specific information. I completed the form and sent it. So far I assume it’s okay as I’ve heard nothing - poorly designed, I’ll thought out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulos The Great Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) Wanker, wanker, wanker, wanker. Please don’t do an LFT and see if the other Glover wants to actually meet the people who voted him into a £60K a year job. If you don’t want to talk about covid don’t turn up to speak to one-track Tim. Edited January 7, 2022 by Paulos The Great Italics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have abided by all guidance because despite having opinions, neither of us are qualified to make value judgements. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the grounds that you can fly in from Heysham Port at any time of day, I am not surprised; apart from how much longer the public will stand for this horrendous civil unservice!

wrighty Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 1 hour ago, HeliX said: Sure, but changing that policy for hospital staff who are in significant contact with clinically extremely vulnerable patients might not be a good idea... At some point the risk of having no staff is worse than the risk of having staff who would test positive on LFT but are otherwise well and continue to follow appropriate infection control measures. See London for a possible example. In 2020 at one point Belgium were so short of staff that they had covid positive staff at work if they felt well enough, before LFTs were mainstream. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been told first hand exactly what’s going on, by one of the exact whining twats who’ll never be happy as a school teacher because they’re in it for all the wrong reasons. Oh dear. One swallow doth not a summer make. Seems like you need a spoonful of sugar to ease your bitterness. Not all teachers are like that. Some maybe. But not all. Not the ones I know anyway. I'm happy that I am not one. I wouldn't want to spend the day with a load of snotty kids. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
