We need case numbers and deaths and hospital admissions to decrease significantly. Especially hospitals admissions are still at their peak.If the vaccinations are on track for the mid Feb deadline why are we being told post Easter for lockdown to ease?
Yes I and many I know were very ill Dec 19/Jan 20...in fact a friend of mine died early January from this mystery flu/pneumonia.I jokingly said it was probably from the uk . The amount of people who were poorly with an unusual fever and cough type / pneumonia virus late 2019/ early 2020 was quite noticeable, I heard so many comments about it . I actually believe there were at least two viruses being lumped together as covid 19, this may turn out to be proven if samples from patients are studied retrospectively.

I remember I was in the UK in Dec 2019 and jan 2020 and caught that flu and was so incredibly sick. I remember sitting in the bath coughing my lungs up like crazy it was gross. My skin was so sensitive and I couldn’t get my fever down.Yes I and many I know were very ill Dec 19/Jan 20...in fact a friend of mine died early January from this mystery flu/pneumonia.

I think you would have to isolate for the full 5 days regardless due to the incubation period of the virusPlease can someone help?
I was pinged by the app and told to isolate for 5 days. The day after my taste started going a bit odd so i ordered a home test and sent it back yesterday.
I am due back to work on Sunday so if this comes back negative can i go back in and stop isolating?
Reason I ask is because i hear people test negative and still get told to isolate for a while.
There have also been 21 covid cases at my workplace.
My 5th day is up today, when i started with the taste thing i updated the app and ordered a test and then it changed to isolate for 10 days. Would i still have to see the 10 days out even if negative?I think you would have to isolate for the full 5 days regardless due to the incubation period of the virus

I don’t think so, if you don’t have symptoms but get a negative you can but if you get symptoms you still have to isolate I think.Please can someone help?

I see their thinking, but there are also plenty of people at financial breaking point where they've lost jobs/businesses, are trying to survive on furlough or didn't qualify for any monetary help. If you're that desperate then people could see it as an incentive to stay in their homes for another month.It’s almost like in order to mandate that people take 2 weeks off work for coming into contact with someone or because someone they live with is sick you need to make sure they aren’t financially crippled by it.
A much wider reaching isolation grant should have been brought in months ago when it because clear just how few people isolate.
SSP or losing out on pay altogether just isn’t an option for some families.
A friend of mine was really poorly with flu and cough in late January/early Feb and the colleague she had a meeting with that week had the week before that had a business meeting in Las Vegas with a company from...Wuhan. Yep. It was at the CES in Vegas which has people travel all over the world to go to.. I went to the doctors for scans and the woman looked at me funny and asked if I had been to China

I don’t think so, if you don’t have symptoms but get a negative you can but if you get symptoms you still have to isolate I think.
Thank you guys, very sure it will be negative as my taste is back. I guess when i receive a message regarding it there will be further instructions to follow xxIt changed to 10 days because you told the app you had symptoms by you ordering a test.
If you have the main symptoms of covid you should isolate for 10 days even if your test is negative.
Ah I haven’t a clue in that case. Which is bad that 10 months in I’m still not sureMy 5th day is up today, when i started with the taste thing i updated the app and ordered a test and then it changed to isolate for 10 days. Would i still have to see the 10 days out even if negative?
Frankly the possibility to scam this is probably 100 times less than the huge companies who have furloughed their staff while still pressuring them to work, or furloughed one half even though their business hasn't been severely impacted and simply put the workload on the other employees so just cashing in.I see their thinking, but there are also plenty of people at financial breaking point where they've lost jobs/businesses, are trying to survive on furlough or didn't qualify for any monetary help.

Based on 38,000 new cases a day, then thats 19,000,000 in pay outs!!
They could put that money into Mental Health, helping the very same people who are teetering on the edge, or into services to help the most vulnerable so that the lonely aren't completely isolated and subsequently dying because of that

The payment incentive they gave to travellers needing to quarantine didn't work, many people didn't even get the payment, so there's no guarantee they'll get this payment.Frankly the possibility to scam this is probably 100 times less than the huge companies who have furloughed their staff while still pressuring them to work, or furloughed one half even though their business hasn't been severely impacted and simply put the workload on the other employees so just cashing in.
Of all the covid financial initiatives removing the barrier to self isolation is the thing that costs the least and more directly affects the virus spread.
Considering how low the rates are for isolating when you have symptoms or have come in close contact with the virus this is needed.
Other countries already use a system like this and it works well.
I think the government have given plenty of other reasons for people to be thinking that, like extending furlough again, and the underlying issue of the last rule of being able to open up being 'as long as we get no new varients'. There will always be new varients, its a virusIt plays in to the hands of conspiracy theorists who have said for months the government won't ever allow normal life to return.
