Billy Whitehurst 894 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I tested positive this morning. I was at Chelsea v Leeds on Saturday and a packed pub afterwards, so I suspect that may have done for me (either that or my two permanently snotty nosed daughters). I wouldn’t have spotted it but we are supposed to have our work christmas do tonight so everyone agreed to do a LFD test. Not having to go to that is a massive silver lining. I got my third Moderna a week ago so only have a slightly dry throat. It would appear the vaccines do work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21438 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Every fucker is getting this aren't they? Its looking increasingly ludicrous to me that our Xmas party is still on on Friday. If I got it then I'd potentially fuck up Xmas quite a bit. I hope everyone at work at least does a LFT, and we'll avoid pubs, but will waitresses etc do this knowing they need the money? Just have to hope its a lot more mild than delta. Some data is pointing it to being a bit more mild, but I've also seen data it is a bigger threat to kids, with 65 children hospitalised yesterday? That's my biggest worry. Really hard to get the source data though, so hope this was BS information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Whitehurst 894 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 It is absolutely tearing through London at the moment. It’s not surprising given how busy the pubs are and how busy public transport was until this week. Then you have stupid pricks like myself going to football matches.

Dr Gloom 21868 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 i've got tickets for a show in west end next week. the kids are going to be gutted but it feels highly irresponsible to go now and we'll lose hundreds on the tickets. the right thing to do is for johnson to bail out hospitality over xmas but of course he won't so businesses owners and punters lose out.

Renton 21438 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Well you're both right but I must admit being new and quite senior at my work I do feel a bit pressurised. Kind of hoping it would just be cancelled anyway but the closer it gets the worse I feel about cancelling as a lot of money has been spent. I may get a positive LFT on Friday morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44557 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Johnson press conference at 5. Wonder if he's announcing further measures. I doubt it'll be anything major - maybe same as Sturgeon, keep it to 3 households at Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42192 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Mrs. F. works for a large housing group, named after a penguin, in Bampville. They were wfh for most of the last round of virus-based fun. Their big boss has said no-one can wfh this time, (ignoring govt. guidelines), as he reckons productivity will drop. Mrs.F. doesn’t produce anything in her role- she looks after 16-24yr old bamps who live alone. She can do all her “contact” work ( which, per bog boss’s instructions, is non-contact, and could be done virtually), in 2 days and wfh for 3 for admin..… which she did very well last time. Bloke is an absolute whopper, and if we end up lurgied over Christmas I’ve told her I’ll be having full-contact with him 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just said I’m not going since I’m trying to mitigate any risk of spoiling Xmas for the kids / family after last year. Everyone was ‘fair enough, no bother’. If anyone had a problem with that I wouldn’t have given a fuck anyway. It’s a perfectly reasonable excuse in the current climate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 19991 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I will get shot down for this. But apparently the +ve for PCR tests are still at the same as they have been for weeks. The increase in +ve at the moment is inline with the increase with testing. Don't have a clue how that works mind. I try and find where I read it.

Ayatollah Hermione 13842 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 In the mood for January lockdowns, like. Providing they actually give some support to the hospitality industry and not watch as it all collapses to pave the way for more Amazon depression factories to shuffle everyone into. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
