• Bumped into the parent of one the kids' friends yesterday.

    Their had covid over Christmas and isolated for the requisite period.

    The only way they knew was because of regular LFTs (being key workers), confirmed by PCR.

    Their symptoms peaked at runny noses and mild headaches.

    This feels worrying, if people are being infected and infecting unknowingly, with LFTs being so unavailable.

    Or comforting, if we are approaching a point where covid is approaching flu in terms of severity (or even lower).

    Still - I imagine you'd want to are it coming, both individually and at the population level, particularly if you have other factors making you more vulnerable.

    This has always been the case. 1 in 3 people have no symptoms, it's all over the 'get tested' messaging from the government.
