Coronavirus in the UK - news, lockdown and discussion

5 Premiere League games off this weekend. There might be an element of footballers refusing to get vaccinated in play here, but regardless it might a sign of at least parts of the ents/hospitality sector starting to close itself down due to staff shortages.

Just tested positive. Felt like a cold and I sweated it out yesterday in bed. Cough getting a bit more annoying this evening but I've had various coughs and colds for the last month and doesn't feel worse than those.

Did you have aching muscles ? I'm aching all over. Had my booster yesterday all over so might be a double whammy for me.

Had my booster 3 weeks ago. I wasn't to achy. I had a good fever yesterday and sweated away. Felt a bit like the cold that's been lingering on me for the last few weeks.

ETA Cough is tickly and annoying.

This apparently-not-Covid cold I have is definitely on the high end of the spectrum, as far as colds I have had goes. I have aching muscles, heavy fatigue, headaches, a very sore throat, plus the usual snots and sneezes. I am the last person to start going on about "'flu" (let alone man-flu :hmm:), but this is a very fluey cold.

Have you done a PCR?

The pull of £££ and the screams of outrage from "business" that would happen if Governments (UK or Wales or ...) actually shut down before the festivities ...
ie the hard-core "covid recovery group" of back-benchers should be re-named 'business profits group' or 'pro-omicron group'.

There’s some fucking shit cold going about, we’ve had half a dozen lft each and it’s all fine but it’s lingering for ages after peaking last week Thursday/Friday. Snot a plenty and today my chest aches.

Think this is just what I’ve been missing for two years since my last one. Just constantly sniffling all winter once it takes hold and two years of the immune system getting lazy

NYE is the big money making night out as is NYE + 1 for the hardcore - Boxing Day is a classic night on the calendar too, there's usually lots of big lineups booked for Boxing Day < ive never managed to get off the sofa until the day after BD!
Christmas Eve isnt a thing though that i know of
The last weekend before xmas is usually the big one for staff parties etc, this weekend starting tonight...here in London they've even got more nighttubes running especially for it

Interesting. In Manchester when I was younger Christmas Eve was a huge night in terms of how many people went out and congregated, though it was a pub thing and didn't go on too late as people didn't wanna be too fucked up on christmas day morning but it was definitely still a big occasion where you saw tons of people you hadn't seen for months
 
When I worked in Newcastle ...
It was quite common for the morning of the 24th to be spent socialising in the office - nibbles, maybe drinks & things like diary & present distributions - and after lunch, those that lived locally, or had provided transport, would go onto a bar/pub crawl.
Living nearly 40 miles away for most of that time, I might go out with close colleagues for an hour at the most, then I would drive home. Always on soft drinks I bought myself. Not that I didn't trust some people, but ... one bad experience could result in a lost driving licence. I went through more than one testing trap in that time.
 
Good on her for setting an example with the christmas volunteer work, I wonder what Boris will be doing?
