    That's the reason for the isolation period here @pansyface, regardless of vaccination.

    However, it's all very well telling everyone to limit socialising when they can do as much as they want on the 25th.
    Just pushing the onslaught back a couple of weeks really, that's all.  :/

  • The constant changing of the rules doesn't help either, and whatever happened to the 4 nations moving in lockstep?

    Just read online and can't possibly believe it would be true, that anti-vaxxers are booking jab appointments, then not turning up in order to stop people getting jabbed. Another conspiracy theory?

    Oh I hope that isn't true @Lizzie27 - what an evil thing to do.

    I was fully expecting new restrictions to be announced this evening. They have not.

  • I hope that's not true either @Lizzie27
    I was expecting Boris to announce some restrictions too. He will probably do after new year.....a bit late again.

    A thought occurred to me. Christmas in England is a bigger deal than new year. Bring in the restrictions after Christmas but before New Year and annoy fewer people whilst looking as if you're doing something.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    It appears that London may have a big problem, presumably because they have a bigger percentage of unvaxxed residents i.e. today's figures 12,000 omicron cases, 10,00 of which are in London. Deaths are still low.  There's a high percentage of Hospital workers reporting sick, so either they genuinely have covid or they want an extra week off before Xmas or they don't want to go into work and catch it either. Which is it? I haven't got much sympathy with the NHS in London, they've had all summer to get organised.
    So maybe lock down London but not the rest of the country?

    Sorry, @Lizzie27, that is a terrible sleight on some wonderful people, and you can't organise for having all your staff going sick.

    When I started as an ICU consultant in 1991, I would go and talk to relatives and explain what we were doing to their loved ones and the almost universal response was, we know you will do your best doc. By the time I gave up [ almost literally ], people would present me with articles from the internet and say we want you to try some totally outrageous and dangerous quackery that we know will work and then threaten to sue me if I didn't.
