Aside from the rampant corruption of his government, here is the main reason we need shot of the bumbling mess who currently runs our country.

The most shocking thing for me is the narrative that if "people don't care about it," it's alright and there is no accountability for the government's actions?

Interestingly that's how Bolsanaro and Modi govern their countries. Are we really happy that our country is viewed in a similar light?

I am sure some will blame it all on the "woke phalanx." Jesus wept how did our country come to this.

While our tests for the presence of antibodies are a helpful measure of past infections and the impact of the vaccination programme, these results are not a measure of the number of people who have protection against COVID-19. That is because they only measure one part of the adaptive immune system. While antibodies are easy to detect from a relatively small amount of blood, such as from a finger prick, other parts of the immune system, such as T cells, require a larger blood samples and more specialised laboratory equipment to process and assess. This would not be possible to do in as large a study such as our survey.

Had my first jab today. A breeze to be honest
Got home and my mate text me to tell me my GHod son (his son) has to quarantine as a girl in his class has just come back from a India and has tested positive for COVID... her parents took her to school on Monday
I mean if they had to go to India for whatever reason, then fine.
But taking your child back to school a soon you get back (possibly in a rush to avoid a hotel stay) is just wrong on every level

I don't have such a scale mate. I understand there are professionals who in the worst kinds of circumstances have to make those decisions but they are usually based on very tight criteria and not personal judgements.

Again I say that every life is precious is and equal. That's not to say that I disagree with arguments around over population but imho you control that through birth rates rather than letting people die.

Such as governments?

No decision is cost free. Save old people, ruin the next 80 years for young people. Save young people, kill old ones.

There isn't a valid choice that doesn't value lives, we just place them differently on our hierarchy.

Maybe they're busy and they need their kid at school to keep her out of the way?

dingdonghead parents sure, but the new variant in India has been known for many months now, the only reason we delayed red listing them was because Boris was due a visit for trade deal following Brexit and wanted to get ahead of the EU. dingdonghead has cost us massively as numbers of the indian variant in UK are only going up, not down based on current stats.

It’s not the new variant that bothers me
People will get Covid and we know it’s mutated
It’s the fact that kid could fly back and go straight into school putting so many other people at risk

without wanting to go all @scaramanga - that's entirely within the current rules. i agree i'd be furious if that happened at my son's school, but it happened because the government didn't red list India for their own personal desires, and now you and many others are counting the costs of it.

If not alreayd done so, how hard is it to mandate anyone entering the UK to do a PCR test (the ones that are more accurate than Lateral Flow) upon return to UK? Or a secondary one 2/3 days after return and you have to remain at home until results are back.

You still have to (or are supposed to) self-isolate for 10 days though if coming from abroad but not a red list country, don't you?

very fair point, in which case they broke the rules! i actually didn't know that was the case, a 10 day isolation from any country regardless, maybe they need to strenghten the checks there then.

This poor girl is now persona non grata with her school friends as she has meant her whole class is quarantined
