I guess it’s done to personal perspective if you want to see everything in a very positive light then this will appeal to you whereas a negative light will see doom and gloom. I think I’m just left of centre on this and watching doctors explain and slightly more cautious. Edited December 24, 2021 by nick76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Some not so great data coming out that seems to be being discussed among the experts. It appears we are having 2 pandemics at once. Delta levels in England are only dropping slowly and that would be in line with the boosters. While we are having an Omicron wave hit us on top of the existing ongoing Delta wave. Instead of the hoped for Outcome that the less virulent strain (Omicron) would be come dominant and Delta would be wiped out it seems like we might have 2 strains circulating without much immune crossover. It may be the Omicron comes with this big peak and then is gone like we see in South Africa, but when it's gone we still have our Delta wave here. I think the new drugs are really the hope here, if we have vaccines and some level of population immunity and we have excellent treatments for people then we can feel hopeful for the spring. I think keeping an eye on the ons surveys and the Delta wave is important in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically thinking this will be negative and then one more today means I’m FREEEEEE….! …still positive, **** sake Same here, except no symptoms. Tests were getting weaker and looked like it should be negative yesterday. Nope, nor today. Wife is actually ill and still testing negative. I'm almost at the end of the mandatory 10 days anyway. Do people normally just get their first positive result, wait it out, then go about their business without testing again at the end? What do these results mean? Surely I can't still be infectious? What the **** is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I honestly thought you were advised not to take laterals for up to 3 months or so after having COVID as they can still come back positive. Now they are saying you must test negative on day 6 and 7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think videos like these can be bad for those who dont do more research and get various views from qualified doctors on the subject which would include hers but not limited to hers. It's definitely one way to interpret the data and she has been criticised for the way she has portrayed the data in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
