RE: UK alert level raised to four due to Omicron12 Dec 2021 22:57
@troublesome…..vaccinations are the priority and should go hand in hand with testing (both LFT and PCR confirmation). Sequencing. Masks should be used but let’s face it, they are not. People use them in shops because the businesses are able to make them or no entry. But if anyone has kids in football teams or similar type activities, you will know that those masks aren’t used when cheering on your kids or going to the socials afterwards etc with umpteen kids and parents mixing from diffeeent backgrounds, schools and areas. People need to do the right thing also. For example, if I was seeing relatives or going to socials, I do LFTs before or after. I’ve also recently had a booster and whilst pleased I had it, the third Pfizer made me feel quite Ill and drained and this made me feel that I should test more also due to symptoms. But, I do feel a relief that I have had it. Another big thing is shutting down proven fake news and banning those accused of spreading it ….say give them 10 warnings or something. Maybe a change of those running the country as I agree trust is also low due to last years parties. However, it’s only being pushed for political reasons. No one really cares and I am willing to bet a lot more people broke the rules repeatedly up and down the country.
