Corona Virus Treatment

Replied in the 'Exotic fruit' thread....

 

If you have had Covid or the Covid vaccine, then surely the test will come back positive
asypmlomatic ?

I really do not know, but surely if you have the vaccine then it will show up as positive ?

 

Normal tests only show positive if you have the infection at that time, they dont show if you have had it.

You only come up positive, after infection or after vaccination, if you take an antibody test.

 

Something like this went in effect here yesterday. You cannot go inside a restaurant/bar or a hotel without certification/negative test result but can be outside on the esplanades. They will be selling self-test kits in supermarkets.

 

Is this going to be the new apartheid ?
I prefer the previous one, where you have Sainsbury´s to keep the riff-raff out of Morrison´s.

 

I can see it now - the internet will be awash with fake Covid passports.

 

and...exhale...1,2,3...inhale...1,2,3...and relax...

 

True. We take part in the ONS Covid testing and they test separately for virus with throat swabs and antibodies with blood samples. Apparently our recent jabs will not necessarily show in the antibody results, only a past infection would. Most disappointing, I was looking forward to see my anties grow.

Anyways, I'm getting a bit angry with the situation. The infections are roaring and whilst thankfully the number of hospitalisations and deaths remain low, people are getting ill. Very ill. Four families I know are now all very poorly, and the disease is a long one. Two weeks in bed is no laughing matter.

Probably it's cheaper for the state to let people get ill whilst the companies pay sick leave salary than keeping everyone well in their bubbles on a state paid furlough money.

Moan over, it is what it is. We'll be fine.

 

I have been a member on a Thai/UK forum since 2003 and we have been saying this about the UK for years. I know members who love going to Thailand but they wouldn't live there as they see it as an authoritarian or democratic dictatorship country. While other members agree to a point, they point out that the UK is not so democratic as you think it is.

 

I think the government find the so called "nightime economy " a nice little earner, so I cant think they actually want to shut that down.

As for stopping the right to protest, this has been brought about by idiots, mostly the climate change bunch, stopping people working and actually stopping ordinary people going about their business for weeks.
People should be able to protest but when it stops other peoples liberties a line has to be drawn.
