Corona Virus Treatment

Talk about milking it.
Just turned onto the BBC news channel and they are doing a rerun of last January.

This is taking repeats to its ultimate.

 

"Best television in the world"

they say every time the BBC is questioned about output.

 

It is amazing, and of course good news, that with the high numbers there are few hospitalisations and deaths.

A thought I had last night ... These folk who take a self test and are positive, are they supposed to notify the health authorities (here SNS24) to be recorded and be one of the numbers, or do they just isolate for a few days or go about their business as normal? There must be hundreds of thousands self testing.

 

Thanks for that John ... but I bet there is an element who do not.

 

Report LFT, well that is news to me, and I imagine quite a few other people. I thought it was only the PCR type lab test that was reported.

Here is the LFT covid test reporting site. Honestly the hours spent listening to covid reports and watching Dr John Campbell on YouTube, I never heard this!
Report a COVID-19 rapid lateral flow test result

 

We are out of our depth regarding " managing " the control of the virus.
I say, let it run its course. If you are afraid due to health limitations then you are the ones that need to protect yourselves but not the rest of us who need to get on with life.
I will meet Omicron square on if it confronts me and rest and recuperate as necessary if I get infected.

Are people reporting a false positive test to throw a sickie?

Yesterday there was 1.6m new cases reported world wide, a record. Of those new cases 860k were reported in Europe with 509k new cases in North America. So over 1.3m new cases out of 1.6m. Combined population of Europe and North America is probably somewhere around 1.4 billion out of a world population of 7.9 billion. Since the beginning of this pandemic, worldwide deaths stand at 5.4m. Europe and North America accounts for 2.7m, so 50% of all deaths.

Some of these reports don't sit right with me. We often hear in the UK we are going to be hit with a tsunami of new cases and daily deaths in to thousands, shortages of this and that. Anxiety and fear can have a detrimental effect on your health, which the British media don't seem to care one jot.

 

Its kind of been my approach for the last 2 yrs ie. dont do anything stupid, be careful but dont hide away.

It says in the paperwork that comes with the test kit you should report even negative tests.
But cant really see the point, I've used 2 of 7, one like @shiney just as an experiment and one before I went out christmas day.
I only have them because other people ask if you have been tested, personally I think I would know if I had got the lurgi.
