Along_the_Wire benson Gonna get a guaranteed next day test at t5 when we land. Not worth paying for next day guarantee - they always come next day
LT42 This is interesting https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/south-african-doctor-raised-alarm-omicron-variant-says-symptoms/
vinnyt77 Homegrove Not anymore ☹️ Gonna postpone it to next year to be on the safe side… Neither of us can afford to get stuck in quarantine for any length of time should travelling conditions change in the next week. We WERE gonna be heading to Muotka for a few days. Originally planned for this last last year!
Wally For balance of argument, people are suggesting that it’s been detected in South Aftica because they have world leading viral detection facilities needed for the prevalence of HIV and other viruses which doesn’t necessarily mean it originated there. (And if that’s true, it’s probably everywhere already)
LT42 One of my students had a positive PCR on Friday evening. I just did a negative antigen test. I’m getting sick of all this drama to be honest. When does the hysteria wane? this shit isnt going anywhere.
alistair Tempted to cancel the family holiday over Christmas but am locked in with it being this close, unless the Spanish or UK government make it impossible to fly between now and Christmas.
alistair Along_the_Wire yup 👍 I suspect this is mainly a precautionary step by governments and it won’t end up being vaccine resistant
Along_the_Wire Ii hope for DF’s sake that scientists around the globe are working their socks off to tweak Ivermectin given the new variant and shit. Mind you, with Rangers 2-0 up away at Livi, he won’t give a fuck!
alistair The doctor that discovered the new variant was on Marr saying that the cases in South Africa have been “extremely mild”. I’d rather take my cue from her than broadcast news journalists like Peston that get off on spreading panic.
