What's the worst that could happen if you all meet though? You all get a bit of a sniffle? I'd just carry on as planned anywayJust tested positive on 2 LFTs - had my booster yesterday, but didn’t have any symptoms then so thought it was fine to go and I had a negative test before I went. Booked PCR for first thing tomorrow morning but family Christmas is now ruined. I feel silly as it’s just one day but it was my first time hosting and I was so excited to have everyone round due to not seeing any family last year. All because I have a snotty nose, heartbroken

Give people the gift of Covid for christmas 
Why are people testing for sniffles? It’s over testing imo.
Indeed, we can't keep getting jabbed every 2 months. I had my booster about 5 weeks ago so I guess there will be more to come. How does this end?
How long do you need to be in contact with someone to class as being 'in contact'
And they'll probably have no symptoms or a runny nose for a couple of days. Wouldn't you rather have a family xmas all togetherGive people the gift of Covid for christmas
Exactly. And then when you've spread it to your family and they can then ignore the isolation rules as they only have sniffles and they continue to spread it, you can blame the unvaccinated.
Honestly, no wonder its spreading through the vaccinated like wild fire when you get idiots suggesting you carry on as normal as it's just the sniffles.
Are you being serious?
A person knowingly mixing with people whilst infected with Covid? Okay.i do wonder if this is why all these new variants are being found - because pre covid I’m sure we’ve all had some nasty colds or flu type/respiratory viruses in winter but we never know what they are just told “it’s viral or it’s flu” and you take lemsip and let it’s run it course. Also as with covid these viruses/flu’s can make people seriously unwell - and that’s why the vulnerable have their flu
vaccine.
im not denying covid’s existence or how serious it can be for those vulnerable I’m just questioning if this over testing that is ongoing is how these variants are being found and before covid a lot of people with sniffles would just carry on mixing/not isolating because nobody ever knew what they were!
If the vast majority of the elderly/vulnerable have been given boosters and they typically account for over 70% of hospitalizations what more is there to do?
Other than address the underperforming NHS in terms of staff and capacity.
Imposing ongoing restrictions on the whole population makes absolutely no sense, especially almost 2 years later
Stopping testing and isolating is the only feasible way forward now. Everyone that wants to be/can be vaccinated is, Omicron is 70% less severe. What do you suggest that we carry on like this forevermore? Nope.
Todays cases don't even take in the reinfections I don't think they're including those till January I wonder what the true figures are test wise
So let’s all mix and spread Covid even more.
Can we please replace 'underperforming' with 'underfunded' - there are literally no staff to recruit so therefore no chance of increasing capacity
If you mean let's all get back to normal and admit it's ludicrous to restrict ourselves and the economy off the back of a cold then yeahSo let’s all mix and spread Covid even more.
Apparently field hospitals run by the military will be set up if there's a massive surge in hospitalisations come January.
Like the unused nightingales? Lol
Instead of the nightingales ! especially now the vax is waning by the day .
