maybe I shouldn't judge people for doing what's perfectly reasonable in the eyes of the rules. I just don't know any more.
If they've all been vaxxed then frankly I think each person has to judge for themselves the risk of any activity. It is fairly clear that being vaxxed massively reduces the risk of serious disease & hospitalisation, so why shouldn't people get on with their lives within the rules?

Just to add a real life example, some friends of mine just went on a 3 day bender in Miami and flew back to London. (please don't @ me for the horrendous decisions that these friends made).
All PCR tested before flying back, all came back negative. All tested negative on day 2 tests. One tested positive via LFD 4 days after returning (5 days since PCR), one didn't test positive (via PCR) until 7 days after return, 8 days after pre departure PCR. The other is showing symptoms but hasn't tested positive yet (9 days since neg PCR).
For me, taking a PCR or LFD just before visiting and staying with my Mum is not an assurance that I don't have Covid, I choose to back testing up with reducing my social risk too.
Finally, wtf were those guys thinking? Or maybe I shouldn't judge people for doing what's perfectly reasonable in the eyes of the rules. I just don't know any more.
