Not for long as it seems you can't get tests anymore. Been trying for a couple of days to order some as I need to do a test every time I visit my Dad in the care home and it comes up none available for delivery and only available for collection in Wales, Scotland & NI.

Know a couple of people who have also tested positive who are feeling rough as well but neither of those have had their booster.
Hope it isn’t too bad for you!

It's starting to get rife again. Half our office of with it, seems very mild though.
Once more I have dodged it, even covid doesn't like me.

It's the BA.2 sub lineage of Omicron coming to get most likely those who didn't get it in the first Omicron wave (BA.1). There are still a lot of people harbouring under the delusion that they won't contract covid.

I still can't believe that somehow our entire household has gone two years without having a positive test, despite it absolutely running rife through my daughter's nursery in particular to the point they had to have a circuit break day when they close up and do a deep clean.

@chiefdave, we are having the same problem. I don't know if there is a lack of tests or if thr government is running the scheme down. As I understand it, Boots and Superdrug are introducing a scheme for buying the test kits at £2 per test.

So it turned out I caught covid an hour after I got my booster so that’s what’s been kicking my arse this week. First time I’ve had a confirmed case all pandemic and was confidently saying a week or two ago I was covid proof. Also if I’m honest a reason I didn’t feel in any rush to get the booster earlier.

Massive mixed message from the health Secretary on isolation when positive with covid.
Got his answer ready for Boris and comments about Ukraine and brexit though lol

what did he say? You don’t have to isolate now surely.

You don’t have to but why wouldn’t you if you know you’re positive?

Legally? No. Morally? NHS guidance is to isolate for five days until two negative LFTs AFAICT.

How you doing? Can’t believe how floored I’ve been. I did borrow one of those oxygen level machines and was at 92-93 for a day. Just recovering from cough and chest and feel much more human

Hope all those currently suffering a bout of covid are on the mend.
As an aside, we really need to stop testing asymptomatic healthy people & the worried well....its now a pretty much pointless excercise & yet we're still allowing it to cause huge disruption in certain sectors, including NHS/healthcare.....not to mention the obscence costs of the UKs addiction to testing...both economic & environmental.

Do those who get it bad just have to go through it then? I think I agree I’m just checking. Including some still dying though I acknowledge on a level akin to flu at this moment in time

Im OK, still tired and coughing and sniffly but otherwise OK.

If you get it bad, you get it bad. its harsh but true.
But its now endemic in this country and officially less deadly than flu. Excess deaths for 2022 are still "negative" & we are a country full of the vaccinated, boosted & also now benefit from a huge level of immunity via previous community infection.
Testing the well who have no symptoms is totally pointless at this late stage of the exit wave.
No symptoms? Then no test or isolation required IMHO.
