Our lass grandad tested positive few days ago , he 96 or 95 , he has Loads of health problems but it not affecting him , he was in a re hab hospital for his hip and caught it thereMy mrs great uncle tested positive yesterday.
90 years old. Triple jabbed. No symptoms beyond a tiny sniffle, doesn’t feel remotely ill apart from feeling pissed off it’s cocked up his Christmas as he was meant to be coming round to my mother in laws with us.
We’ve come a long way thanks to the vaccines.
This isolation nonsense needs to be scrapped for vaccinated people. Perfectly healthy bloke, we’re all jabbed, how many more christmases does he have to spend with his family at 90!!
With 3 other family members we’re spending Christmas Day with my 88 year old Dad, it’s the right thing to do, all triple jabbed but no LFT’s today, he thinks he’s lived too long anyway, would be devastating for him to be on his own today.My mrs great uncle tested positive yesterday.

Tested positive this morning.
I'm absolutely devastated
Very busy at test centre in Rammy again just now, can’t see why people would bother going for a pcr today, seems a bit of a waste to me.
That's so harsh, hope you feel ok though.

That's their problem. Cancelling Christmas is ridiculous.I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you but if he comes round, it's very likely you will also get covid.
How many unvacianated people are you going to be around in the next week, even if it's just the shopkeeper or barman?
I'm alright pal, spoke to the family and a very upset daughter. Just glad I didn't test positive tomorrow when they've all been round eating a dinner I've cooked.
Proper shitter
Good decision. Merry Christmas
Have it wait for results though, so surely going via a lateral flow makes more sense anyway.They might want to check they aren't positive before visiting relatives?
I wouldn't worry too much. I had Hong Kong flu as a 14 year old in 1968 and again two years later in the second global wave. Both times I was in bed for two weeks and had to crawl to the toilet. It was a nightmare.Weird as fuck this.
One minute I feel like my world has ended, next minute like there's nothing wrong with me.
I have a feeling in a few months people will look back and wonder why they cancelled Xmas plans/isolated for 7 days with nothing more a sniffle.
Surely soon it has to be personal judgement again, if you feel shit you don’t go out, feel ok and carry on work etc as normal.
People are doing it cos they’re told they’ll infect others who will die. How true that is I don’t know.I have a feeling in a few months people will look back and wonder why they cancelled Xmas plans/isolated for 7 days with nothing more a sniffle.

Well according to the data for the new variant this is becoming less and less likely. I mean even originally Covid wasn’t a deadly death sentence, yes it could be serious for the elderly and people with underlying conditions, we locked down and these people shielded.People are doing it cos they’re told they’ll infect others who will die. How true that is I don’t know.
