Kind of hope that moron is anti-ventilator. He sounds like a Fairbrass. |

I’ve been doubled jabbed but if there’s any way I don’t need to wear a mask, I won’t wear one But that’s not saying much, I hardly go out  |

I haven't had a cough or a cold for eighteen months, I quite liked it when everyone was wearing masks and plan to continue wearing mine for the foreseeable future. Wearing one really doesn't bother me at all

Wearing one also has the bonus of pissing off morons like PhoenixFlames.

I have convinced myself quite easily to just get on with things, but can see that changing come autumn given the worsening situation. |

Masks are almost finished on public transport around here. Even on buses when its meant to be required people are taking them off as soon as they’ve sat down.

We wear ours outdoors too so never had this issue as we always have one on as soon as we leave the house. Also agree that it has been nice avoiding all of the usual colds and sniffles while masked up. |

Yeah, come to think of it I haven't had a cold since the February just before this all kicked off, which I have a feeling may have been an early case.
Silver linings and all that.

Always amusing when this paint drinking anti-vaxxers come out of the wood work and start crying freedom of speech to spread their Qanon/deranged theories on covid. Fuck off
My place of work emailed everyone to say you can come back into the office from 1st september if you want, (no more booking days to come in) But still distance, clean hands with the gel etc still. Have been going in once a week and it was nice and quiet in the office mostly (it normally has 600+ before covid)

Sadly the boy has to go back to school soon so I hope they hurry up with the vaccinations for under 16s (he does remain fully masked all day including PE and has a packed lunch in a room to himself (this is the way he wants it, not forced by us)). Each to their own but this sounds pretty extreme. There's every chance we won't at any point vaccinate under-16s. |

Considering various countries are already vaccinating 12-16 year olds I don’t think you’re right there |

Surely if we were going to do it then it would have started by now? Our regulators don't seem convinced that it's worth doing.

Not sure how some countries doing it rules out the possibility that the UK won't.

It is extreme that he really doesn't want to risk catching it badly or that I hold any hope our stupid government will get their thumbs out of their arses and offer the vaccines? I agree that our government aren't likely to do it just because EU countries are. What we need is Scotland to take the charge and offer them as Boris and his cronies seem to be good at backing down and following them. |

I'm also still a bit worried about my kids getting it- I know the majority end up fine after a few days, but you still hear the odd story about hospitalisation, long covid etc. I'd at least have preferred it if my eldest (13) could have been vaccinated before the end of the summer holidays, but that's not going to happen.
And I also totally get kids, especially teenagers, wanting to be really cautious. I don't think mine have the capacity to go "statistically I'll probably be fine if I get it". They know this pandemic is like nothing we've ever seen before, and they haven't seen anyone get it mildly and get better, so I can totally understand why they'd want to take no chances

Obviously the chances of kids getting long covid or being hospitalised are very, very low compared to adults but aren't zero. The daughter of one of my mates from my uni days has recently being diagnosed with sudden onset deafness in one ear and the specialist says it is very likely it was caused by the covid infection she was quite ill with last year. They also fear that it is probably permanent.

Yeah just thought the description of wanting to eat alone at school sounds like quite an extreme level of caution over getting it relative to how much risk it poses to children. And given it may not ever be deemed sufficiently dangerous to children to be worth vaccinating them, unclear how/when that situation might end. Not knocking the perspective though - it's obviously not zero risk to contract it as a child and we we all have different things for which the risk to health bothers us more/less and that we are therefore cautious over, be it catching a disease, getting in a car, going skiing, playing rugby, bad diet, whatever. |

They also fear that it is probably permanent. That’s so shite, feel really bad for anyone who has suffered life changing consequences or suffering daily with this. Long COVID is the thing that makes me anxious even as a young healthy double jabbed person. Estimates are something between 5 and 15% and I saw a study that found that vaccination didn’t make a difference when it came to long covid caused by delta. There’s tens of thousands of people suffering debilitating post-viral symptoms from it to the extent it has had a significant impact on their daily lives, some have to stop working etc. Also plenty of evidence for long term organ damage in some cases. Imagine feeling like shite for months/years or having years knocked off of it because your immune system attacked your organs while fighting this thing off. This is why the ‘it’s just a bad cold get on with it’ crowd really irk me. |

He is at a big 1500 pupil school so imagine how many maskless teenagers are in that dining hall at once... I don't blame him, and if it wasn't his GCSE years would have been more tempted to let him home school for a bit. Mask usage after rules relaxed is abysmal at the school apparently and he doesn't want to risk a hospital trip over a school dinner. The room to himself is because he can feel safer removing his mask to eat. Same reasoning why I won't be setting foot in any pubs or restaurants for a good long while. |

We're going down to see my in-laws in Spain next week, they're jabbed, we're jabbed but obviously want to be mega careful so rather than stay with them, we've rented a place with decent outdoor space so they can come round and we socialise outside etc.
Apart from that, we want to get tested, PCR takes ages and is much harder to get so we were thinking of doing antigen tests, but regularly, e.g. every few days as if I understand correctly, that way they become as accurate as PCR.
Do I have that right?

You only need to test twice a week for antigen test.
