    Should good news not be reported? It's OK if you want draconian restrictions brought in like the rest of the have to live under. Just as it's OK if people want to live more normally alongside covid.

    It's just speculation though from one paper, none of the others are running with it. These decisions greatly affect people's lives and you constantly do it. Others have picked you up on it too. It's annoying as ****.

    And why are you equating this with me wanting restrictions? Weird.

    I think the point was you just post any old opinion you can find and say, "looks like this is happening"
    I'm very much on the side of no further restrictions, but I still find your posts tiresome.

    I've got it, just done our PCR tests. So far I've got a mild tickly cough and woke up in the night a bit shivery (similar to when I had my first jab in February). Anne has been a bit worse than me but she's getting better now - she spent most of the last 24 hours in bed. I'm not sure if the worst is yet to come for me. :(

    You shared an article from The Express the other day saying that schools might be shut until Easter. This is the paper that reports we’re all going to be BURIED UNDER 20 FEET OF SNOW every year. At least share actual data and confirmed news if you want to share something, not speculative, sensationalist headlines from a paper on par with The Sun.

    Telegraph reported 4 days ago that more restrictions were unlikely....

    http://barnsleyfc.org.uk/threads/so...n-hospitalisations.310557/page-6#post-2873859

    Lots of media outlets are now running stories of Boris holding firm. If restrictions come in fair enough but it's not looking likely.

    It's not even true. It took me 30 seconds to find out that they do have Omicron hospitalizations. I just couldn't be bothered to correct him.

    yeah missis ward was closed on Christmas Eve. Won’t be opened again until 29th due to a lack of staff. Can’t be great for people being moved 50 miles when they are in some instances very ill.

    That’s the reality that done on here want to ignore due to idiotic tories spreading misinformation

    The Telegraph may have been claiming that 4 days ago and it may indeed prove to be the case. However they couldn't have actually known, unless there's more to crystal ball gazing than meets the eye. No-one knows what's going to happen with the data even now, especially from inter-generational mixing on Christmas Day.

    Update.

    We've both done our PCR tests and they were posted by Anne's sister this morning. We both feel much better today so fingers crossed...

    Good luck pal, it can be a bit of a rollercoaster feeling better, then not. Best wishes for the both of you.
