I’ve no idea ! I posted because politics for all were banned from Twitter and now they’re back…I see the possibility of mandatory vaccines being banged about for the ROI


Wonder did someone turn the electric off 🤭

COVID-19: T cells from common colds can protect against coronavirus infection, study finds

Imperial College London researchers warn "no one should rely on this alone" and insist people should still get vaccinated as the "best way" to protect against COVID.

Such a wrong move. People remain infectious for more than 5 days. Again we seem to be doing our own thing. He is an absolute failure and shambles to this country.

They'll be even more short staffed and hospitals will be overrun when the whole lot of them have covid because he's letting contagious people out and about.

I have no doubt every step he makes now is just economical and not in the interest of the public.

Political too. It’s become clear that he will be out of the job soon, and the people wanting that position had been recommended to vote against any more restrictions

I don’t disagree with the overall step, but it’s simply too soon to be making it

Was it ever in public interest 🤔
 
Isn't covid isolation in the USA cut to 5 days as well? apologies if this has been discussed already, the threads move quickly.

That is correct but many not happy with this move either.

“Given what we currently know about COVID-19 and the Omicron variant, CDC is shortening the recommended time for isolation for the public. People with COVID-19 should isolate for 5 days and if they are asymptomatic or their symptoms are resolving (without fever for 24 hours), follow that by 5 days of wearing a mask when around others to minimize the risk of infecting people they encounter. The change is motivated by science demonstrating that the majority of SARS-CoV-2 transmission occurs early in the course of illness, generally in the 1-2 days prior to onset of symptoms and the 2-3 days after.”

They advise to wear a mask around others for 5 days after coming out of isolation to reduce risk of infecting others - that translates to they are still infectious?

Yeah, that doesn't make sense at all. Clearly driven by wanting to keep people in the workplace.
 
Hi I'm a dialysis patient & Tested positive on 29/12 , I now have to travel a hour away from where I usually have my treatment ,and iv been told I can't have a pcr test until two weeks after I tested positive , and I have to have two negative PCR tests a week apart before I'm allowed bk to my usual local dialysis centre as apparently itd be 'false readings' does this sound right to anyone ?

The Americans count their isolation from the pos PCR , UK count from symptoms start so it’s a shorter period in the UK.

Its all leading up to all restrictions being scrapped and us just getting on with life. I was talking to someone at work and we give it 3 more months before everythings scrapped

That’s what the press are reporting and accurate so far!
 
I’ll be glad if that cold stuff turns out to be true as I’ve had 3 horrible colds in the last 2 months and have been really annoyed that none of them were covid (because that means I still have covid to catch and I am bored of being poorly!)

The cold that’s gone round this winter seems to be worse than omicron anyway - both my husband’s grandparents ended up hospitalised with it for a couple of weeks and the rest of our family were really ill. (Grandparents in their 80s and developed pneumonia.)

Some of you might remember just before NY I posted my brother tested positive and had to go to hospital as he was bringing up blood - turns out it wasn’t due to covid, it was ibuprofen he took for the covid headache. His actual covid symptoms were very mild.

Hope your family are all doing better now!

It seems the world has forgotten there is other illnesses that still exist. Everything is just covid covid covid.

And the hospitals and GP surgeries need to pull themselves together by now, all sorts of treatment and appointments have been cancelled and post phoned and still are being. They need to start catching up, its already too late for some people.
