6 figure cases for the UK yesterday
Not for long as it seems you can't get tests anymore. Been trying for a couple of days to order some as I need to do a test every time I visit my Dad in the care home and it comes up none available for delivery and only available for collection in Wales, Scotland & NI.6 figure cases for the UK yesterday

It's starting to get rife again. Half our office of with it, seems very mild though.
Once more I have dodged it, even covid doesn't like me.

feel better mate. what're your symptoms?Not in hospital but not mild for me at the moment
@chiefdave, we are having the same problem. I don't know if there is a lack of tests or if thr government is running the scheme down. As I understand it, Boots and Superdrug are introducing a scheme for buying the test kits at £2 per test.Not for long as it seems you can't get tests anymore.

sorry to hear that and hope you feel better soon PeteNot in hospital but not mild for me at the moment
It's the BA.2 sub lineage of Omicron coming to get most likely those who didn't get it in the first Omicron wave (BA.1). There are still a lot of people harbouring under the delusion that they won't contract covid.
Get well soonNot in hospital but not mild for me at the moment
Yeah, get well soon Pete hopefully the vaccines will do their job.
Also hope youre ok Shmmeee…anti (booster) vaxer

Think without them I may have been needing medical assistance
Hopefully you're over the worst and will soon be on the mend.Think without them I may have been needing medical assistance
So it turned out I caught covid an hour after I got my booster so that’s what’s been kicking my arse this week. First time I’ve had a confirmed case all pandemic and was confidently saying a week or two ago I was covid proof. Also if I’m honest a reason I didn’t feel in any rush to get the booster earlier.
Hideous cough, bad chest and difficulty breathing. Much much better today but not really managed to sleep last 3 daysfeel better mate. what're your symptoms?
Pleased to read you're feeling betterHideous cough, bad chest and difficulty breathing. Much much better today but not really managed to sleep last 3 days
Massive mixed message from the health Secretary on isolation when positive with covid.
Got his answer ready for Boris and comments about Ukraine and brexit though lol
You don’t have to but why wouldn’t you if you know you’re positive?what did he say? You don’t have to isolate now surely.
what did he say? You don’t have to isolate now surely.
How you doing? Can’t believe how floored I’ve been. I did borrow one of those oxygen level machines and was at 92-93 for a day. Just recovering from cough and chest and feel much more humanLegally? No. Morally? NHS guidance is to isolate for five days until two negative LFTs AFAICT.
Do those who get it bad just have to go through it then? I think I agree I’m just checking. Including some still dying though I acknowledge on a level akin to flu at this moment in timeHope all those currently suffering a bout of covid are on the mend.
As an aside, we really need to stop testing asymptomatic healthy people & the worried well....its now a pretty much pointless excercise & yet we're still allowing it to cause huge disruption in certain sectors, including NHS/healthcare.....not to mention the obscence costs of the UKs addiction to testing...both economic & environmental.

If you get it bad, you get it bad. its harsh but true.
But its now endemic in this country and officially less deadly than flu. Excess deaths for 2022 are still "negative" & we are a country full of the vaccinated, boosted & also now benefit from a huge level of immunity via previous community infection.
Testing the well who have no symptoms is totally pointless at this late stage of the exit wave.
No symptoms? Then no test or isolation required IMHO.
