  • Who knows. Assuming we can get some sort of vaccine equivalency rules in place, maybe not until the pandemic is "over" for the most part (which probably means enough vaccines and boosters and people willing to take them to make covid like the flu). In total honesty, if people choose not to be vaccinated and that means they can't travel for leisure/work (or go to the pub) then that's a consequence of their choice.

  • For sure - appreciate it.

    I think I've read the entire .gov COVID site about three times now... :-D

  • We have been studying this shit for the last few days.

    We were due to go to France next week with parents in law and brother in law and his family. But for brother in law having to return and isolate for 10 days for a 6 day holiday was not workable.

    We then investigated holidays just for us and looked at Portugal which was all fine. Until my other half got interested in travelling to Corsica. I didn’t make the connection that it is a French territory so comes under amber plus. The week after our proposed trip I am meant to be working in Cardiff but can’t if I have to isolate. Wife needs a holiday - been working v v hard and it’s been over two years since she had more than a couple of days off work.

    Thankfully my employer can find someone to cover me if I do need to isolate upon return but all the noise in the news is that France’s “amber plus” status is going to be reduced to normal amber.

  • Fingers crossed. For us all.

  • Your first paragraph covers a few things but liberty aren't worried about data collection in the UK as there is a centralised national health service, but even then the security of track and trace is questionable.

    Some of my thinking about the two tier system is that a system will continue post covid end.

    Does no one else find Eric Clapton ironic comment of not playing to segregated audiences.

  • I think we’re all in danger of becoming a bit complacent about Covid here. I say this because we’re all taking about holiday and festivals and the like, and yet only last week my pal Keith came back from Standon Calling and tested positive. How many contacts did he have? Maybe 14,000?
    And today I found out that a friend, aged 37 with two young children, who I saw at a pre-season football friendly only 10 days ago passed away yesterday from Covid. She was taken ill a week ago, and now she’s dead. 37 years old with two kids under the age of 10. Instead of going to the first game of the new season on Saturday they’ll be burying their mum.

    This shit is still real.

    Sorry. This has hit me hard. RIP Louise.

  • Sorry for your loss.

  • That's horrible. RIP Louise.

  • Sorry for your loss.

  • @dancing james @soul sorted now from sunday no quaranting just day2 test.

  • Just seen NHS is preparing to start delivering "neutralising monoclonal antibody" treatment (stuff Trump got) in the next few weeks (MHRA approval coming) for vulnerable patients who test positive but aren't hospitalised.

  • Aw :(

    So sorry to hear that.

  • That was good news. Cheers

  • Go figure.

    Double jabbed. Went on hol.

    Got Covid again. (The worse symptoms so far)

    This is not what I wanted to read for two reasons:

    1) I'm sorry you're sick

    2) I'm going on holiday on the 16th

    What happened?!

  • Fingers crossed for you.

  • Now would you like to explain to my GF that if she comes back on Friday (tomorrow) she has to quarantine for 10 days and not just till sunday.

  • Thank you for kind words.

    Hopefully not too serious but I tested positive yesterday on LFT.

    Had high temp and producing phlegm but no cough.

    Used lemsip to counter and then developed chest rales in the night.

    I had this unofficially last year but not as virulant.

    Just a bit miffed even though I am double jabbed I have still succumbed.

    My Mum does get chest infections so there could be some biology involved.

    (Friends all neg atm)

    I was on hols in UK (Devon) My old man reckons this almost certainly Delta.

    Could have got it anywhere tbf.

  • It's all Delta now. Recent sampling gave 100% Delta.

  • double jabbed

    At risk of sounding a bit "how was it locked" after a bike theft, which brand jab had you had?

    Hope you're OK soon.

  • Thank you.

    Yeah not sure relevance but Astra Zeneca.

    I believe if / when they release boosters we will be offered the other brands to OG.

  • TBF double vaccinated doesn’t mean you won’t catch it, just better prepared for it, while it doesn’t feel like it, it sound like you managed to escape the worst case scenario.

  • I think you might be right.

  • AZ is probably less effective against Delta than Pfizer but neither provide 100% protection.

    I think all boosters in the UK are planned to be Pfizer.

  • OK. Interesting.

    Just hope they work against next years hybrid.
