Re: Coronavirus
I have a pretty heavy cold, usual stuff for this time of year, in fact, I rarely pick up anything, must be the red wine :p:
Did I take a test, nope, and have no intention of doing so. |

But in the hypothetical sense, where exactly do we draw the line with this ultimately being "over"? I'd personally right now draw the line at asymptomatic testing; though there is a possibility someone has covid with no symptoms at all, it's probably more likely they do have some, even if it's just mild tiredness, headache, a slightly iffy throat, blocked nose etc. If you're not coughing or sneezing all over the place which forces out then any aerosols are going to come from breathing, talking, singing, etc which isn't as much. Longer term we can't keep testing anyone with any symptoms which aren't normal for them because we'd still need to be giving out LFTs and keeping them around just in case. At some point that does have to end. |

Next winter is the big question mark now. Can we get through it without another outbreak that leads to hospitalisation? Will there be another booster program in September and if so, who qualifies? The final stage will be if it just resembles a normal flu season. Testing might stop then? |

I've had two colds in the past 9 months and didn't take a test. I didn't want to know, as simple as that. If symptoms had worsened, then I would have taken a test. I suspect that many people think that way. |

I hardly go out, except to Waitrose so I didn't come into contact with anyone. Anyway, I had no respiratory issues and was fairly confident, in addition to not wishing to know. EDIT: I hear you ask "how did you contract the cold?". Prolly my grand-children. |

If you know then you have to self isolate upon pain of £1,000 fine. If not then you don't.

Frankly, my wife and I are half convinced that we've had Covid if only because our grand-daughter was in very close contact at school with a number of kids who tested positive. She tested negative. Likewise the little fellow and his nursery. He's always got a runny nose but tested negative. What the heck - we don't know and didn't want to. We wear masks (even now) and this week is our first foray into the wider world (beyond Waitrose) as we go and stay overnight at a country hotel. By the way, Schuessler Tissue Salts Formula J manages the cold symptoms very well. |
Re: Coronavirus
That seems so strange to me. I tested to make sure I was clear to see other people and not spread anything to them (and for work as many of my customers require a clear test to visit their sites) Without knowing who you might meet that is vulnerable, it feels the right thing to do.
It certainly wasn't regularly, only if I had sniffles or a few days after riskier events such as watching the Euros or celebrating New Years down the pub. Looking at the NHS app, up until this week, 11 tests in total (more now as I am a contact to a COVID positive daughter and so testing daily) |
