    Yes. Some posted on here that it's been a great year for their family and that they've loved it etc

    I agree i wasn't making any argument to.make it mandatory. I just keep seeing people saying make it fit for purpose on here but never say how they could make it fit for purpose. For me its impossible to make track and trace fit for purpose.

    Do you believe these decisions are 'data led' or 'following the science'?

    Honestly? Most of it, yeah.

    Boris and his cronies fought against restrictions from the start and if it wasn't for them being strong-armed into it by scientists we'd have followed the ridiculous herd immunity without a vaccine approach.

    Apparently the way forward is now that all adults will test themselves at home twice a week and report their results in to the app. Applies whether or not you have been vaccinated and whether or not you have symptoms!

    I can understand that, but asking ordinary folk who've been vaxed, have no symptoms and are not going where they are bound to come into contact with many people looks like a bit of an ask to me. I can't see there being much take-up of that.

    I appreciate the sentiment, but every single baby boomer in my friends and family is a Labour voter, most of them at one time or another a member, all brought our kids up to be compassionate socialists too.

    I can believe we’re a minority, but that doesn’t make us atypical, or mean that we should accept people lumping us all in the same category to be slagged off for being ‘selfish’.

    We had the mass testing at work until recently. Very high uptake actually, though this may have been improved by the promise of paid time off if you tested positve.
    More people seem to opt put as it went on though. The test itself is rather unpleasant.

    It’s easy. School children and staff have been doing this for about a month as well...

    It takes about 5 mins.

    I don't think that's true at all, we were always wanting the vaccine approach and pushed it through very fast too fast for some peoples liking.

    It doesn’t bother me at all. It makes me sniff for about 5 minutes afterwards but that’s about it. The tonsils bit I genuinely can’t feel to the point that if someone could do it with me blindfolded I wouldn’t have any idea they’d done it. Hubby doesn’t enjoy that bit though.

    Hmm well I found it rather unpleasant and won't be going out of my way to get tested.

    On the idea itself it seems like a huge way to waste money to me. Trying to test the whole population for a virus that is a: currently receding and b: having its impact limited by vaccines just seems odd.

    Instead of Operation Moonshot it’s Operation Cumshot, with the fat boy spunking in the face of the taxpayer and the environment.
