Annecdotally a few exhibition's are suffering cancellations from individual clients along with the companies constructing them outside of government guidance.

I'm still isolating, now 8 days after symptom onset but still showing faint positive line on LFT.
My symptoms which were very mild went away by Tuesday/Wednesday so I'm just sat at home getting fatter.

Haha, glad you’re ok at least. My mate still had a faint positive line on Day 10 even though he’d had no symptoms at all. Omicron is even weirder

Cases seem to be dropping fast now. Hope this is the beginning of the end of it (relatively speaking).

They’ve changed the rules on getting a PCR after a LFT… of course they are going to drop.

It could well be declining to be fair, but they’ve decided to intentionally fudge the figures.
All I know is that at work we have 20 teachers off with Cov-ID and we’ve had 1 year group learning remotely since we went back to school.

Tests still close to 1.5 million though....and although testing is a bit lower, percent of positives is lower still....so yes, cases are dropping.

Cases are no doubt dropping however I think the testing data is behind currently.

Tested positive this morning. Feels like no more than a mild cold atm. Hopefully it stays that way.

Thanks for asking. He's still in hospital and not in a good way.

Its not an easy situation as the hospital isn't allowing visitors so you're reliant on brief phone calls with doctors if you're lucky enough to be able to get hold of one. If he does survive this and come out they are saying he will need several months of care to recover from the impact of what this has done to him but of course there's nowhere suitable that has places available.

Edit: just to update, spoken to the doctor this morning and its not good news. Said while he is recovering from covid and that won't kill him the damage it has done means we're looking at him only having 6-12 months to live.

Now talking about removing all restrictions in March - it’s almost like they’re trying to distract from something else.

I don’t think Johnson has ever wanted restrictions in all honesty

That's what all this bollocks about getting the navy to patrol the channel was about, just a distraction.
They'd normally have had Farage down on the beach pointing at them but hes involved himself in an Australian immigration wrangle the utter pellet.

Just watching Warship, life at sea on channel 5. Amazing seeing what the Royal Navy actually does and watching what they’re doing the only people who can possibly benefit from the Royal Navy concentrating on the channel to stop some dinghy’s is the Russians.

Whilst I agree there's an element of 'ooo look over there' to it

I don't see any reason wy we cannot get back to pre-2020 life from spring onwards. Whoever needs to be jabbed is, Omicron is now dominant and a lot milder than previous strains and people know how to mitigate things an have changed behaviours when feeling ill

I think were almost there

It's as if people want it to go on and on and keep everybody scared.

It's a completely different beast now compared to the start.

Everyone wants it to be over but unless you lock the borders, how do you keep out new variants?

How's that related to what I said?

It is never ever going to be zero cases of COVID.

The reporting also needs to change from with and within 28 days to people going to hospital because of COVID and dying because of COVID.

Do we want too? Being as each variants gotten progressively milder, playing devils advocate, maybe getting the variants in isn't as bad as people think

Clearly your main priority is making yourself feel better, so best to leave it.

Certainly looks to be a good thing so far that people have got Omicron instead of previous variants.
