Yeah but they spend all their money on mobile phones and flatscreen tvs.

I've said this elsewhere - if you're on minimum wage, why the fuck would you spend an hour's pay on a test that could mean you can't work?
If you're gonna charge for tests - give refunds for positive results, then provide financial support.

I’d have been happy to pay nhs prescription prices for a pack of testing kits, put some money back in the coffers. No chance I’m giving Alliance or Randox a tenner a week, which is what’s most likely going to happen S'actly. Would the NHS actually benefit from that though? The only way that would be putting money in their coffers is if it cost them less than the price of a prescription to supply the tests, in which case private suppliers would make the tests available at that lower price (as happens with common drugs like paracetamol)?
Supplying stuff on prescription is surely a cost to the NHS not a benefit, no?

Anyone else get a banging headache and bad nausea with unicron or have I suddenly been blessed with migraines?

Have woken up with similar the last 2 days, but negative on the flows. Doesn't feel hugely different to my usual low-level migraines though, so assuming it's that rather than the Rona.

That's what's annoying me about Omicron, if I've had it I want to categorically know I've had it but so many accounts of mild(er) or asymptomatic cases and infections not triggering the LFT.

I've booked a PCR as I've been coughing like a Banshee last two days that started with a sore throat midweek. LFT's beforehand all been clear. Haven't been anywhere except the girlfriends new year's Eve and day but we did go to her neighbours for new year's Eve. Hoping it's just a delayed cold but I can't stop coughing at minute.

I've had a right side migraine / headache all week. Down my neck as well as my head. I'm assuming it's a migraine from returning to work in my case. Headaches are one of the signs of omicron though as you'll know.

Guy I know in the far extended family is so anti vax he doesn't believe covid is real. Well, he fucked around and found out as he caught covid and got hit so bad he contracted pneumonia and taken to hospital. Was in for a day before the hospital discharged him as they needed the bed. He and his wife are now keeping it to themselves and not telling anyone else, I can only assume because he is embarrassed by it. But then he'll be one of these dickheads that will spin it 'I got covid and it wasn't so bad!' They've now had to call the ambulance as his condition's worsened and they have since taken him to hospital. Hoping he pulls through of course, not a pleasant experience, but I hope this is a humbling lesson for him.

Djoko been allowed in, what a shambles. The immigration might still re-cancel his visa for the lols though, fingers crossed

These home tests are shit. One of my colleagues did a test for 5 days all negative including the day she took a PCR test which came back positive the next day...2 hrs after getting a negative at home.

Yep, I’ve already mentioned it, but my LFTs taken either side of my definitely genuine positive PCR both showed negative. The only positive LFT we’ve seen here was the nine year old’s, the day before her positive PCR.

So he's either been walking around with the virus knowingly at public events. Or Dr. Rodger Serbia has signed off on an imaginary infection with perfectly convenient timing in order to draw up an 'exemption'.
Either way the bloke is a colossal bellend and hopefully history remembers him as such.

I don't think he's earned cunt status I've got a pretty binary view of anti-vaxxers, at least the ones who voice their views publicly. Having that view puts them immediately into the cunt category regardless of anything else. .

I'm still in the sleep inertia stage of waking up so can easily misunderstand things 🙂

Farage has somehow managed to track down the sofa we had in 1986 and made it into a suit
