    I just couldn't do it. I absolutely loathe being sick and very rarely throw up.

    I had to have them when I came here from France, made me retch.

    All of my daughter’s family do them twice a week, the boys had to do them for school, her because she’s a childminder.   They will all do one tonight as we are going there tomorrow to see Daniel who will be 18.

    I do 2 a week for work.  They supply them for me.  I  feel obliged to do them as I am mask exempt.

    My kids have been doing them twice a week since March. We do them occasionally (basically in order to attend certain things). We all hate doing them.  We do them anyway.

    Does anyone know where I can find the full list of industries/roles that will be exempt from isolating if they’ve been double jabbed? 

    Needs to be from a gov website. I’ve only been able to find the announcement dated 19/7/21. It’s all over the news about other workers being added, still no official update about other workers being exempt.

    Edit: It’s ok, have found it. Still not clear cut because of:

    Well at least the countrywide cases figure seems to potentially show that we may have hit the pre-'Freedom Day' peak - although I'm not sure the local cases figure for my area(s) show the same effect.
    My only problem with the figures is are the figures coming down because of fewer cases or is it because fewer people are testing for whatever reason (ie what's the point)? What is the impact of schools breaking up on the numbers (given that testing picks up asymptomatic cases) - could that account for my region still going up (the schools here broke up late last week), but the country in general going down (did other areas break up earlier)?
    Presumably the only way to tell if the cases figure is being influenced by fewer tests, is to look at hospitalisations and see if they continue to increase or whether they also peak after the cases-to-hospitalisation  time lag?

    In France, masks are still de rigeur.  The Vendée is on the Atlantic coast and has many beaches with extensive and well-equipped holiday parks of mobile homes and chalets behind the dunes and many holiday homes.   Since the tourism season started in earnest there has been a 92% spike in Covid infections so local edicts for wearing of masks are being extended, altho not yet as far as this sign in the Iles de la Réunion shows.

    @pansyface, thanks, yes that’s it. I managed to find it on the gov website in the end, it was hidden away with the isolation rules and not immediately obvious.
