Even the feintest of lines is a positive, so good job she didn't show up!

Yeah, I actually didn't know it could just be super faint - I've never seen a positive one, thank goodness.

I know this because mine was super feint and I thought about persuading myself that perhaps I wouldn't have to be stuck in my home for ten long, hot summer days!

west london operation but i'll look into it
So this thread makes the claim that the planned opening, now, is the best option we have.
TBH I don't really understand his reasoning. How would there be a big wave next spring if people are vaccinated? I mean, it's not impossible, but the crisis we're facing is because of Delta which is a direct result of our government's inaction. In fact they still haven't sorted the borders out.

Most people won’t have had the chance to have a second dose yet. I (37) booked my first dose as soon as I could and my second one was mid August, though I have managed to rebook for end of July now.

Theres an interactive vaccination map on Gov website. Dunno about labour voters but definitely innercity and deprived areas with lowest take up sadly.

There's an “amber plus” category. Do we get a red minus, too? Schoolkids are going to get very confused at traffic lights.

I like the pyramids that appear in the weekly PHE surveillance report. They are for England only rather than the whole of the UK, but the way the data is presented seems useful to me.

All this whingeing about a 'pingdemic' is pissing me off. Partly because I got pinged on Thursday so I'm stuck at home when summer has finally arrived, but that's okay with me because it's the right thing to do.
I've heard so much shit from people I've spoken to since:
"Oh you should've turned your bluetooth off" - no I fucking shouldn't, because that would defeat the entire point of downloading the app in the first place.
"If you leave your phone at home you could go out; I'm sure it'll be fine" - or maybe it won't be fine and I'll end up spreading Covid about like a killer cunt.
"I heard you can get pinged if the signal goes through walls and a neighbouring has it" "I heard you can get pinged if someone in the next car has it" - I'm sure there are some examples of the signal passing through a wall, especially with some of the flimsy walls in new builds, but if this is such a big issue why didn't it cause a 'pingdemic' last December, or throughout lockdown when most people were at home all the time? Because it isn't a big issue. And I suppose it is possible, if you were stuck in really bad traffic, to spend 15 minutes within 2 meters of a positive case while in your car, but it's quite unlikely. These are just excuses people are holding onto to as a reason ignore the app when it tells them to self-isolate. And that temptation is there. When I looked at my phone on Thursday and saw the message a part of my brain did scream at me "you could just ignore it and pretend nothing has happened". I'm sure that's the exact same thought that ran through the head of every hit and run driver ever.
And then there's the cunting right wing press and shitbag right wing politicians moaning that all these pings are causing chaos. It's not the pings that are causing the chaos you sniveling wankstains, it's because Covid is fucking everywhere.
"Why can't we reduced the sensitivity of the app" they drivel - because spending 15 minutes within 2 meters of someone who is positive is plenty of time to catch it. With the Delta variant we should be looking at increasing the sensitivity.
"Can't we stop using the app sooner?" they blather - only if they want Covid to sweep the country faster than it already is, so that rather than healthy people sitting at home affecting their precious economy it's Covid ridden people spluttering at home, or filling up hospitals, or dying.
Since these cuntbubbles coming out with the last two are the same shit munchers that have been opposed to every Covid measure that impacts on their freedom to do what they want, when they want and making more money for themselves every word that crawls out of their self-centred mouths deserves to be ignored.
Yes, it's a pain in the arse having to self-isolate and yes, it is causing problems for the country, but that's the fault of the government for failing to keep Covid under any kind of control. The 'let it rip' approach was always going to cause chaos, even if the vaccines do mean less death and less hospitalisations. This is what 'taking it on the chin' looks like, even without the potential for things to yet take a turn for the catastrophic.

I had a very brief rant about that last night and then chucked in some stats. #40,295
I erroneously claimed that the shit newspapers would be delighted, when actually they were sold a dud - the government told them they would change the apps sensitivity, but yesterday it was reported that they arent going to after all.

We're going to have a full on flu winter potentially as there are so few antibodies floating around. There's a nasty norovirus going round that myself and other parents have had because immunity hasn't developed in paeds. I see no chance of delaying providing significant protection when peak vaccination has been reached. No chance parents are going to on mass let children have these shots.
This is like fighting a common cold with a leaky vaccine. The absurdly named United Kingdom is a blip of humanity on our planet where this virus is largely running free. We need a massive injection of money into the NHS to keep the majority of hospitals free for public health and triage covid in separate sites where they can get oxygen and steroids. It's basic stuff and fucking annoying that point of care services haven't been overhauled so we can get on with life... End of rant
