Well until my husband gets his results back we wont be doing anywhere. Plus if its as contagious as they say its only a matter of time before I get it and the 10 day isolation period starts again. I will be taking some sort of leave to stay home with my kids. I rarely take time off so I don't feel guilty about it.

On the PCR debacle I tried at 12am to get a test. None in the 5 counties I tried so I rang caredoc and they have put him on the list. He'll get a text with an appointment within 3 days!

Don't see how schools can open when it is impossible for anyone to get tested.

Restrictions have empirical evidence that they work, their effect has been observed in all countries, you're trying to argue against mountains of data.

Note that restrictions don't mean stopping circulation but reducing circulation, since vaccines, reducing just means to a level which keeps a lid on the health system numbers.

But you've been here before and you'll slink away ignoring all the data from 2020 and 2021 when restrictions were implemented and cases dropped and regurgitate the same thing again in a weeks time or so (along with being concerned about with or for COVID).

I mean, unless you actually want to dig into the data and explain how reducing contacts doesn't reduce R. Backed up by peer reviewed studies backing up your viewpoint, of course, that's a conversation that can actually be had.

I wonder is there anyway to transfer an appointment for pcr?.

I was a bit rough last week..took 5 antigen test and I was negative...feeling 100% today and the wife tells me this morning she booked me a PCR test for Monday...im gonna go ahead and cancel it as i feel 5 negative antigen tests is quite enough..if there is a way if transferring it to you your welcome to it...

hopefully this is the right thread but I need some advice

A friend of mine was at a gathering on the 27 of December, a card game,first time he has been out in a week, he reckons he was exposed to Covid at the gathering, two days later he started showing symptoms so done an anti gen test and showed positive, he is isolating since

if he was exsposed to Covid on the 27 when should he get a clear PCR test? He has something coming up which cannot be done without showing a clear PCR test result

Would the 10 days start from the time he was exsposed to Covid?

It should be more normal as we'll have a lot more therapeutics and better jabs to deal with the disease. We should also have more ICU beds and hopefully on other fronts like step down and other issues.

Hospital numbers now updated to 717, up 35. That's the highest since 22 February. Admissions of 118 but discharges of only 40.

So my folks were a close contact of me (i did have covid and recovered), and now they were told they are a close contact of an uncle from a wedding on the 29th...

"Does that mean we have to be hermits again? Fùck sake!" Were the first words out of my dads mouth. He isn't wrong.

When everyone that wants a booster has one I would be in favour of ending all restrictions, all testing, all close contact stuff and all isolating advice. Which should be fairly soon.

I dont see any further value in the national covid program once we've achieved as high a vaccine protection rate as we can get. Omicron cant be controlled we need to live with it. The obsession with daily case numbers needs to end too. Testing serves little purpose anymore other than driving certain people crazy every day.

So for work he should be clear on the antingen test the 8 of January?

Got the moderna booster yesterday....i feel weak as pìss today and very fatigued.....

Back to square one. This hasnt happened yet though so theres no reason to believe it will. The current vaccines are even effective against omicron when given the correct dose regime.
