Grandaughter tested positive on a LFT test this morning. Other than vaccinating everyone, Im not sure how we stop this.

Hope she's doing ok, and I completely agree with you.

The mention of a 'circuit breaker' was depressing as it just got me thinking that as soon as cases reduce, restrictions will ease and then skyrocket again. On/off, on/off, on/off, on/off. The situation is not good, and I'm not sure exactly what we *should* do, but that just can't be it or there's no end game at all.

She is the second to have it. Bit of a temp but other than that ok thanks.
She visited yesterday so wife and I will need tested tomorrow.
Daughter had a mild heart attack earlier this week and just out of hospital yesterday.
Its not been the best week :-(

Hope everything is OK mate. Sorry to hear you're having it rough.
 
It was me! Thank you. TBF that is brand new research and wasn't out at the time.

It's also retrospective, so can be skewed significantly (eg do people who've had the virus tend to get tested less), but nevertheless very interesting.

I had seen this before just didn’t know where so although this is new, the theory definitely isn’t.
