Yeah, I was REALLY shocked. Totally unnecessary.

Some of the postive cases may come from all the hundreds and hundreds of hospital procedures though which requires a PCR swab before hand so they could be adding to the numbers
Also some employers ask if they’re a suspected case in the household that the employee also tests before returning to work
God I’m bloody depressed. Yeah I know people have it a lot worse that me but just gotta rant. Just been told I’ll be working from home for the foreseeable future just as I signed to contract to my new flat which is in a city miles away from where I currently live just for this job. The head office for my job is meant to be incredible. I honestly feel so disappointed
My in laws are supposed to be coming for Christmas (and I actually like my in laws so will be gutted if they can’t!) One of my MIL colleagues has just tested positive 
annoying thing is she works in an office so if her company weren’t stingy and let her work from home this could be avoidable!!

Schools have asked pupils to test twice a week for almost a year so they provide boxes of them. At one point they sent my daughter home with four boxes - 7 in each!
My asthmatic son has has 2 AZ. He hasn't yet been invited for his booster, but he's decided that he doesn't want it anyway.
Today he got through same text as me from our surgery (that I posted) but his text told him that routine appointments would be cancelled, but it also reminded him to book his flu jab.
So he can't see a Dr for a general worry, but can see them for a jab
My brother and wife are meant to be coming to ours for Christmas, theyre not vaccinated and my Dad is clinically vunerable, what do we do? 
Honestly up to you, viral load is the same regardless of vaccine status and transmissionMy brother and wife are meant to be coming to ours for Christmas, theyre not vaccinated and my Dad is clinically vunerable, what do we do?
vaccines only help reduce the severity of how ill you are
so if your dad is up to date with jabs and feels comfortable socialising then Ul be fine
78,610 cases?Everybody Panic!!!
We're all going to die!
I suppose they've determined that there's still a percentage of the public that isn't living in fear and need to ramp up the messaging
No doubt Boris will try to add to that in his press conference
I’ve got a party to go to on New Year’s Eve that I would really like to get out of.What are the chances of if it being cancelled?
just send a message saying your waiting pcr results and cant leave the houseIt's not about lockdowns.
They just want everyone boosted and get the passports in place based on 3 shots .
Then over time they'll add more restrictions to the passports.
In order to retain your passport and be eligible for freedoms you need to comply with whatever the new gatekeeper is- it could be continuous boosters or something else.
Try not to be too downhearted. I expect "for the forseeable future" just means they can't put an end date on it yet, due to the uncertainty. Hopefully numbers will come down before too long, especially as more get the booster, then offices will start to encourage people to come in a bit more.
Like what? What new stuff might the gatekeepers demand ?
I'm unvaccinated. My dad (vaccinated) and I are both CEV and I have continued to see and live with him at various points throughout the past two years and neither of us has caught COVID.My brother and wife are meant to be coming to ours for Christmas, theyre not vaccinated and my Dad is clinically vunerable, what do we do?
Please just enjoy your family together this Christmas and stop living in fear.
The vaccine does not stop you from transmitting the virus anyway!
ETA, to hopefully give you more reassurance, my 11-year-old son had COVID and I obviously cared for him and also didn't catch it.

I agree. I mean how many right now have flu or a common cold? I bet that’s quite a high number. Ok not as high as covid but we don’t test people daily for these things so who knows how high the figures are. My sons had to do a pcr today for work because he has a sore throat, I’ve been a bag of nerves all day because I’m unvaccinated and have CFS. Sick of it all.
Not that I can remember, mostly asking if Boris is going to change his ways.... If they will be celebrating Xmas with family and about the party rumours..... To be honest it was just a hour of them screaming boosters at the cameras... How we should now be getting jabs into the kids to save the world and hopefully get back to some sort of normal next year
I really feel for you. Working from home can be great for some people, but what others don't think about is the social isolation that working from home can cause.
Yes you might be on Teams or Zooms calls and speaking to people, but thats nothing compared to being able to swivel your chair around and have a 5min mindless chat about crap just to break the day up, which really helps with work morale.
If you're a good worker you can also end up putting in more hours than you're contracted to because you lose all track of time.
Or the fact that working from home means that you might not get any kind of exercise or just time outside.
It's all very well saying "well make time", but some people can't if they have commitments.
For most people their exercise or time in fresh air was walking to work, catching public transport or having a mooch about town on their lunch hour.
The fact that you have a new job and having to do this is awful and I really hope it doesn't last. I also hope that your company and HR dept recognises what I've said and helps you... if they don't then you should get in touch with them. All companies now should be safeguarding their employees mental health
Is that really true? Do you have any data you can point me to? I have some family members worrying and judging so would be great to be able to back up my reasoning for not having the booster with some facts!
Here you are
Covid-19: Fully vaccinated people can carry as much delta virus as unvaccinated people, data indicate
Adults who have been fully vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 can carry the same viral load of the delta variant as those who are unvaccinated, a preliminary analysis of UK data suggests.1 The latest results from the UK’s national covid-19 infection survey show that having two vaccine doses remains...
