Wasn’t it only earlier this year that Starmer declared vaccine passports “un-British” and Johnson pulled a proposed vaccine passports bill because of the expectation it wouldn’t pass because of Tory rebels and Labour?

What happened there then? It seems Starmer’s “principles” are just as fair-weather as Boris’.

Hope she gets well soon, Granto

Shitter Grant. Hopefully just a mild dose and will be fine for Christmas.

wrongun Is that Christmas now fucked up as well?

She should be clear of isolation on the 24th. A right kick in the plums for me as I’ll have to do all the shitty stuff like the Christmas food shop and feed the fucking cats twice a day!

      Wow… hearing of huge numbers of people testing positive today… clients, friends of friends etc 😳

      And there’s a National shortage of PCR tests, so if you need one next week get one booked

        Jules72 Likewise - bunch of friends, couple of family, several colleagues. We’re both ill at the moment with the <whatever word Dave accepts as an alternative to the sniffles>

        Negative LFTs at home, but not taking any risks - we’ll isolate anyway. If we’ve got it, don’t wanna spread it. If we haven’t got it, don’t wanna risk picking it up ahead of (hopefully) a family Christmas this year…

            vinnyt77 mental times…btw an LFT will show a positive for first few days and then turn negative…

                Jules72 an LFT will show a positive for first few days and then turn negative…

                Really?! Hadn’t heard that!

                    vinnyt77 yup…. That’s what happened with mine and I’ve heard same elsewhere .. pcr tests can remain positive for weeks

                      Here we go… this nightmare will never end.

                      Looking at the carnage in the NFL and Premier League, things are worse than the stats are making out

                        78k cases in the U.K. today… looking rather perky…

                          NBA is a mess, too. Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they just shut things down for a week or so. A bit alarming given they’re actually getting tested frequently. Our testing rates have plummeted compared to this time last year. But as long as hospitalization rates remain stable (currently the case), whatever I guess.
