Practically everyone I know has it right now except me and my husband. Feels like only a matter of time
This is the most positive thing I’ve read!! Life has to sodden go onDon’t see how this is a positive.
Absolultey! No testing, no pandemic!!! Utterly madness all this testing when people aren’t sick!Because people can get on with their life as they were born to live it. Where is the positive in staying at home for a week or so? People have had the chance now to have three jabs. People can keep wearing masks for a far weaker cold like variant. It just means it would be treated like a cold so if you feel unwell stay home until you're better but no testing for the sake of it to be told you're ill when you're not.
This was with quite a strict lockdown and restrictions in place in 2020 though, and a very effective vaccine (in terms of preventing death) for most of 2021.So in the U.K,
only 9’400 (7851 over 65) people died OF COVID in 2020,
In 2021, there was 7971 deaths (5746 over the age of 65)
winter flu numbers
no way to know if that’s true or if it’s been worth so many negative knock on effects, how many will die due to job losses, poverty, lack of treatment for other illnesses, domestic abuse, alcoholism due to lockdown…..This was with quite a strict lockdown and restrictions in place in 2020 though, and a very effective vaccine (in terms of preventing death) for most of 2021.
I hate restrictions and think we need to get on and love with this but I do think without those mitigations, it would have been much higher than winter flu both years.
Exactly. Hopefully when the coronavirus act ends I'm the Spring there is no more testing. Apart from all the single use tests that are bad for the planet when we are told to be more green, we can instead treat it like other illnesses in that if you feel under the weather stay home ill but no more tests especially not to tell healthy people they are poorly.This is the most positive thing I’ve read!!

I do wonder what the plastic footprint of all the masks and tests and plastic screens offices have put up etc will be. Everywhere I walk I see discarded masks in the gutter, on pavements, in the roots of bushes etc. I’m not disputing they were needed at the start of the pandemic but the material waste must be staggering.Exactly.

You might find those in excess death data .no way to know if that’s true or if it’s been worth so many negative knock on effects, how many will die due to job losses, poverty, lack of treatment for other illnesses, domestic abuse, alcoholism due to lockdown…..
I think they're to be kept on for certain settingsExactly. Hopefully when the coronavirus act ends I'm the Spring there is no more testing.

I wonder how many are actually following them now especially those with little to no symptomsAll Covid restrictions in England could end in March under No 10 plans
Guidance may replace legal requirements as Boris Johnson indicates UK must now live with the viruswww.theguardian.com
Not long to go until we show the world how to live with covid as the most open and least restrictive country in the western world.
I think there might be a thread on this on the advice section… sorry I don’t know how to link itDon’t know if this is the right place to ask but has anyone else not had a period since having covid? I had it in December and my period is 2 weeks late this month and I’m always on time
I think that’s for periods after covid vaccine !I think there might be a thread on this on the advice section… sorry I don’t know how to link it
@Oohthedrama, Apologies if I’ve missed a post but where do those figures come from?So in the U.K,
only 9’400 (7851 over 65) people died OF COVID, not “with” covid in 2020,
In 2021, there was 7971 deaths (5746 over the age of 65)
winter flu numbersno huge increase to a normal year.
ONS, now don’t get me wrong I’m not saying it hasn’t contributed to a lot of people dying who wouldn’t have died if they hadn’t got the virus, but the fear mongering was extreme, and the lack of services to provide care to people suffering with other conditions and the complete disregard for how lockdowns effected education, children’s health and wellbeing, the economy, looking back was it the right thing to do@Oohthedrama, Apologies if I’ve missed a post but where do those figures come from?
I think they're fiddling numbers. I've tried to have covid confirmed 4 times after symptoms and a few positive lateral flows (mainly as I needed a certificate of recovery for my job) and they 'have not been able to read the sample' every time. Have not been able to or don't want to?Do people really believe cases have genuinely plummeted 45% in a week, or whatever it is they’re saying? We all seem to know more people than ever with it. I’m more inclined to think a lot of people aren’t bothering to report positive lateral flow tests, now a PCR isn’t required. I suspect it may have dropped a little, due to the sheer volume of testing that was going on at Christmas, but I find it hard to believe it’s going down as much as they say.
My periodwas around two weeks late after covid too. I found it worrying but it resumed at the normalise gap after the first month, but has moved away from the usual timing pattern, if that makes sense. So if it was normally around the 10th of the month it’s now somewhere between the 25th and 30th. It still runs with a slightly longer gap the 28 days!Don’t know if this is the right place to ask but has anyone else not had a period since having covid? I had it in December and my period is 2 weeks late this month and I’m always on time
