• My wife tested positive (out of the four of us) on the 22nd, we didn’t see the point in her trying to isolate within the house given previous contact and the size of the house.Neither myself nor the kids 6 & 3 have tested positive.

    I’d echo that I think this thread is generally a little pessimistic, I’ve made this point back in the summer when there was talk of another lockdown due around bank holiday. Again I said at the time that’s not to say that I think the government has done a decent job far from it but jumping on things like the reduction of isolation times without a supporting argument seems as emotive as the anti vax trolls.

  • It is a another culture war thing. You either need to be an anti-vax loon or calling for a hard lockdown and doing three LFTs a day to signify to your in group that you are a signed up member.

    My issues with those articles that I posted is it's getting put on the front page like it is something needed but Government refusing to do and that it is business leaders and ministers calling for it (in each case it is a subset rather than the majority), not healthcare professionals or those who I believe have my interest as their main priority
