Nice theory. The point is, time was of the essence and to go through the usual rigmorole would have used up too much precious time. The virus was moving very quickly and there were a lot of unknowns. Everyone was panicking over what to do. It's easy for you to sit there calmly criticising others. Life just isn't as easy as many CF members seem to think.
The latest figures for England are here. The infection rate is decreasing, but the big question is, will there be a resurgence when the schools go back - and will there be any more virulent variants that give cause for concern?

Re: Coronavirus
So I was travelling back from Spain and a bunch of 5 teenagers who had most likely (from listening in to their conversations) been on a shag-fest / party holiday were sitting on the plane coughing and spluttering everywhere.
So sad to see some people don't care about anyone anymore....Not even wearing a mask!

Guidence is just something you can do, if you want, its not a requirement.
There is guidence everywhere, probably for most things you ever do, doesnt mean you have to follow it.

Re: Coronavirus
After 2 and a bit years of having somehow avoided catching COVID I finally caught it last week! Quite confused as to how I avoided it for so long - and I was hardly being careful to avoid it - only to get it now.
Hit me slightly more than I assumed it would. The fatigue/lightheadedness is the worst whereas the cold symptoms were minor.

Immune escape. The BA.5 variant says "Pah, I speet on your vaccine".
It got me last week too. Worse fever, aches and sore throat than any cold or flu I've ever had. I'd rate it alongside mumps and hepatitis A for the misery factor.

During the initial outbreak I was still commuting into central London right up until the very last night. When we reopened I was at the barbers the very first day, at the pub at midday on the first day they reopened and so on. All before the vaccine. Just find it odd i avoided it until now. TBH I had reached the point where I didn't get the first wave, I avoided the Delta wave, and everyone but me seemed to get Omicron so I kinda thought I was invincible to COVID.
Yeah for me the aches and fatigue were the worst I've had but the cold symptoms were nothing really. Very minor cough, a small blocked nose.

I don't think I've had it and I worked right through the lockdowns thanks to the government classing me as a key worker, it claimed three people in my firm as well and put another on a ventilator and I used to have to get on the tube regular to go to Moorfields, i did take precautions as the other half has cancer so did that help, was I just lucky or did i as some in our office suspect have it in the February before first lockdown when the whole office went down with a nasty cold, one things for sure, it's only a matter of time before we've all had it
