Dirty Buggane Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I myself would not think it would make one iota of difference if I did or did not report my positive tests. This government would not be able to manage covid under any scenario, any positive outcomes during the pandemic was down to the gmp or pure luck as the Ranson case has proved. In fact I would go as far to say the government is incapable of finding its own ass with both hands 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless, of course, they have an ulterior motive.... by this, I take it you are referring to the government Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a vulnerable person and really don't want covid, I like being alive. How do you manage with colds and Flu doc? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Government sticking with data that they knew was wrong is inexcusable, why should I trust them to report anything accurately? For public health surveillance purposes I voluntarily tried to report my athletes foot outbreak to them the other week. I thought it might help them profile any concerning athletes foot trends in the IOM. They told me to sod off. I probably should have said monkey pox. That seems to be the next paranoid hoax. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cold isn't lethal and the flu only kills about 0.1%, covid has a much higher rate. One reason to report positive results is to try to work out the fatality and serious illness risk, amongst other reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Git Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 19 hours ago, Lxxx said: Quite the opposite. Most people, if they test positive, have more important things going on in their lives to bother with reporting. Nothing to do with rebellion and everything to do with something called living life. It’s hardly a complicated form. Basically “do you have covid y/n”. Takes about 5 seconds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are notifiable diseases but the obligation to report is on the diagnosing doctor, I think, rather thannthe patient. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely that people aren’t even testing so have nothing to report. I haven’t heard of anyone doing a test since that couplE of weeks after TT.

I haven’t heard of anyone doing a test since that couplE of weeks after TT. I tested yesterday as I felt pretty crappy - just like I did when I had it in March. The reason I tested was because I have a close family member with cancer and I don't want to put him at risk, not only because of his vulnerability, but also because he has to go across later this week for more treatment and so it would be a terrible time for him to get covid. I tested negative, and I'm going to test again today to be sure. Will I report a positive test? Yes, I would, because it's the right thing to do. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
