The Czech Republic will allow critical workers such as doctors and teachers to go to work after a positive COVID test.

Yes, My local, You know it?

I drive past it on my way to Stoke, don’t bother with the M6, it’s a car park! Never been in the pub but looks top notch from the outside, Churchlawton looks a nice place to live.

Not really. Pretty much everyone is now going in this direction and the virus is clearly nothing like what it was even 12 months ago. Time to move on.

My wife and I have it, she is a PSW in a nursing home and caught it there. So far it feels like a really bad cold, but we're both vaccinated so that helps a bit.

Yep, I imagine we'll be having the same conversation here about it in the next few months.

It's all about impact and risk vs reward. If the impact of covid is no more than a common cold (not saying it necessarily is now but once it gets to that stage) then why have more stringent rules than we had in the past. We never tested people like this and it's likely that doctors and nurses have been working with rhinoviruses and other coronaviruses for years. If they feel so unwell as to have to call in sick that's a control.

If a covid positive doctor treats people but the impact is small, how does that compare with the loss of functionality of the health service of having these staff off? If we'd have stopped them coming in for 7 days for common colds in 2019 everyone would have thought we'd lost our minds.
