Scully Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 39 minutes ago, Mice! said: Clear as mud, our sparkie said he tests regularly and gets positive LFTs but has never had a positive PCR Yeah, there’s not a lot that makes any of it predictable or logical really. The first LFT I did last weekend was positive ( a very faint line ) and the second negative. One of the bar staff from last weekend just tested positive on a PCR yesterday, after a week of negative LFT’s. Track and trace has said her husband should also isolate, but not their daughter. All three were at the function but only she has tested positive. 🤷♂️ The owner of the pub has cold symptoms, but continues to test negative, yet her husband and three children are all isolating. She doesn’t have to isolate as she doesn’t show any of the symptoms on the NHS website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’ll stop testing before too long ( some folk already have! ) and just treat it as yet another cold. I was still testing positive on day eight, so didn’t test again and just did the full ten as a negative wasn’t going to get me out any sooner. Chin up, soon be over. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon the hospital will be getting worried by now . The A+E staff are probably standing around , and asking if anyone has seen you 😄.

I have three friends whom have been undergoing treatment for cancer throughout the pandemic. One has missed two seasons shooting because he was shielding due to his treatment causing him to have exactly the opposite of a suppressed immune system. He is back out this season after being given the all clear but is still regarded as vulnerable if he gets it. If you have to venture out then masks and sanitiser are there to use. People die from flu every year, I’m assuming if this is going to kill you then there’s a good chance flu is also, but we don’t wear masks, sanitise, social distance, have a one way system ( ridiculous outside! ) or shield because of that as far as I’m aware. I understand people are scared, I really do, but there are precautions in place for those who want to make use of them, but the rest of the population really do need to get on with their lives. It’s not practical and very unfair to expect the vast vast majority of the population to pussyfoot around due to something that may or may not happen. There were two tables of eight pensioners at the New Year celebrations in the pub the other day, the eldest being 83. They came from Newcastle, Durham, Stanhope, The Wirral, Southport and Darlington. None of them as far as I’m aware, expected anyone to wear a mask, take a lateral flow test before attending, or socially distance. It was a party of over 240 people, all there by choice and having a really good time and getting on with their lives. All will have been aware ( just as my OH and myself were, and the rest of the staff ) that all of us and them would be going back to our respective homes and relatives afterwards. There were children there too, far too young to have had a vaccine. We can’t go on living like we’re afraid to live, we really can’t. We’re only here once. 100% Get a life and live it ...... approaching 82 years and I ain't wasting a second of what I have left. I know of one young lady early 40s who is scared stiff to venture outside her house, the government, media etc have caused this young woman to lose almost three years of her life. Unforgiveable.

Let's hope so, I don't think I've felt fully well since having what was described as the "super cold" that hit me end of November last year.

After lockdowns its going to take a while before peoples immune systems are back to normal Some people have voiced concerns over whether their immune systems are being challenged, given that the general public is no longer physically mixing. Might our immune systems consequently “forget” how to fight off disease-causing agents? For adults and older children, there is some good news: This is not how immunity works. According to MIT Medical, by the time a person reaches adulthood, their immune system has already had exposure to plenty of bacteria and viruses and is able to mount an attack against these invaders. Because of this, the immune system has already learned how to destroy these microbes and will not forget, even in the wake of long-term lockdowns.
