    I think there’s a third important point - medication. Development of meds for those that end up in hospital (or more hopefully to keep them out) will play a major part in our route out of the pandemic. I’m not sure if vaccines at this level, offered to the entire population, are sustainable.

    Not sure. I would have thought there’s a massive causation issue - ie it’s not very easy to specify where someone caught it. And then even if you could there would be plenty of counter argument around the break in the chain of causation. It’s not my field exactly, and no doubt there will be litigation but I would have thought analogies can be drawn against allowing someone with influenza into work etc

    I tested positive on 3 lateral flow tests 2 days ago. I felt slightly groggy for day. I’m perfectly fine now. Had a PCR test yesterday. If that’s positive then I have to miss work next week and leave them short. a place where everyone are quite young on healthy. Just incase I make someone else Ill for a day

    its not illness which is causing staff shortages it’s the isolating. Where people with common cold would normally have a day or 2 off or just struggle through they now have 7-10 days off. That’s idiotic

    Covid is nothing like the common cold. Your version maybe. The version you gave your work colleagues could kill them.

    most my work mates have had it and survived. Omicron is much more mild and more like common cold. While ever people are having 7 days off for sake of 1 day the country will grind to a halt. Does no one die of flu anymore. Does no one get cold

    Proper lol. It’s the idiotic approach of the NHS mandating demonstrably well people to stay off work that’s causing the problem! You have to be an absolute brain donor to think they’ve got this right!

    Meanwhile a huge proportion of transmission is happening in the hospitals regardless!!

    Hospitals seem to be coping. Plenty of different media outlets have mentioned most people having mild cases and of course that around a third in hospital with covid didn't go to hospital because of covid. Isolation rules are ruining businesses.

    No Coronavirus is ‘like a cold’

    It may or may not suprise you to know I agree with that.
    I think it's now almost certain that everyone will be exposed to Covid eventually.
    I also think their is no moral failing in anyone catching or passing on a respiratory virus.
    Further despite my continued arguments to the opposite I do understand the reasoning behind actions when the possibility of the health service being overwhelmed exists.
    While also acknowledging that the pandemic restrictions have have the greatest negative impact upon the poor and vulnerable.
    Where I belive we can 100% unite our viewpoint is the absolute shambolic nature of the government's handling of the Pandemic.

    nothing like common cold?

    Well I have actually got covid at this very moment in time I can tell you it’s far more mild than any cold I have ever had. So maybe your right it’s nowt like common cold.

    no one in my household has cought it from me including my wife who works for the NHS at pindefields and is clear to carry on working.

    ridiculous that people who are fit and well have being forced not to work because of a runny nose

    It's certainly very frustrating, hopefully in time it will no longer need to be the case. However I can currently understand the reluctance to take away this measure, especially in the medical industry.
    There are (so I read) usually something like 200 respiratory viruses in circulation in winter and many of those could be deadly for vulnerable people. I think it has been very much a case of ignorance being bliss.
