So Bojo is scrapping all restrictions and scaling back testing. How does he think they can keep track of the virus? He can't keep labs on standby in case they need to ramp up testing agin if needed.
Great! Just when I thought it was getting safe enough to come out! I felt very sorry for the pregnant lady asking questions at the press conference, and very unimpressed by Boris’s response. Presumably those who have Covid symptoms, are therefore infectious, but have decided not to isolate, will be questioning those they meet, “excuse me, are you vulnerable? If so, I’ll keep my distance / put a mask on” Yeah, right! If he is expecting us to show consideration for the ‘vulnerable’, then he should be reminding us that we won’t necessarily know who they are. So staying at home with symptoms and wearing masks should continue.
It just seems a mess now, in my opinion. I think I’m gearing myself up to the inevitability of getting Covid in the near future, and hoping that it’s true about it being mild in the triple jabbed, plus lots of effective treatment if I do get it. Having spent two years being careful, I’m not looking forward to succumbing now. Im still a few years away from an extra booster.
Maybe this is just middle of the night, can’t sleep, blues!
We've practically hibernated for the past 2 years as my OH has cancer. So on the rare occasion I go out I'm really careful, I'm very worried about catching anything. Not just because I don't want covid, but I'm obviously worried that he would catch it. I'm going to carry on wearing masks when on the odd occasion I go out.
We can't be classed as vulnerable, but have been very careful. At he moment we are the only ones in our immediate family that have not had it. Quite a number of experts have been saying for some time that it's almost inevitable that we will all get it at some point . I agree with the other posts. Not happy doesn't begin to say how I feel about the way things are going.
Recorded cases are not accurate anyway. I'm finally recovering from Covid. I caught it from my daughter, who didn't realise at first that that was what she had, as her LFT came back negative 6 days in a row.
I didn't bother with a test, as mine followed the same trajectory as hers, though it has taken me much longer to get over it. I haven't been anywhere since last year either, so no risk to others.
Neither of us will have been counted and there must be loads of other people who don't appear in the official numbers either.

But I was concerned to read this, which I hadn't previously picked up:

Dr Hillary has just mentioned that one person in 20 have covid. And that 38,000 new confirmed cases yesterday!
