OK cheers. We'll make it 5th of Jan for introducing the 7 day rule then. 😉

It could be worse. You could actually have it and feel properly shit instead of just a wee bit annoyed. Hope your maw is awright and recovers quickly.

My mum is fine. A wee cough which is better already.

I only wish we made the same decision as Redz because we'd be able to go out where common sense prevails.

I see Wales and Northern Ireland have now cut the self isolation period to 7 days from tomorrow.

That letting it rip is working well in England then.

Scotrail cancelled over 100 services on Wednesday too. What's your thoughts on that?

That sounds bizarre being reinfected so soon.  Maybe he had Delta and then Omicron. 

I know, if I had read it somewhere I would have thought it was wrong. But hearing first hand from a friend who doesn’t exaggerate I know it is true. All I can think of was perhaps he was actually still infected after the 10 days and the tests on 24 and 27 were wrong. Think those tests were just LFT as he was mixing with friends so tested before going out. Or unless he told his maw they were negative and they werent ! 🙄 
Cant see that either right enough. Its strange how he has gone from being fine to being quite ill after such a period of time, does potentially sound like a different strain.

With respect, fuck off min. We are all negative but have to stay in another 6 days. Its overkill no matter how you spin it

You do realise that the tests are not 100% accurate don't you?

But the more tests you do, and they all give the same result, the more confident you can be that the result is correct. 

He could still be incubating the disease and could still test positive yet at a later date, though.

Well not really - you can be ok one day and infections the next - the test has just as much chance of being inaccurate.

Aye, you're right, but those are two separate things. The accuracy of the test is one variable, and how far the disease has progressed is another. There is also the sampling technique to factor in as well.

For now VDA, and time will tell if common sense has prevailed

Over the piece the SG appear to have been very good, despite not having the financial clout to 'own it' 

Personally I'm going to cut them some slack here, even if in time its shown that they've shot their load too early of late

I like aaid's political analysis and, (In my view) it is on point

However I can see why you may feel that way

So have they not applied for exemption? If not you would have to ask why?

Boring story but i only ever accessed the TAMB on my desktop PC which was already on it's last legs and running Windows 7

When it stopped being supported last January it became extremely temperamental and sites like the TAMB caused it to crash - which coincided with me being fed up with the usual shite that was being posted so it was a convenient excuse

I see nothing much has changed ....

That equates to about 5% of Svotrail’s daily services, so while not great for those affected it’s not particularly significan in comparison.

in other news, hospitalisations in England up by 50% in the last week

5% of services cancelled doesn’t strike me as a service being on its knees.  I guess a period of bad weather has more impact on the network.

100 services cancelled in a day.  That seems like a big number.  What’s that Scotrail has around 2000 services daily, so it’s 5%.  Suddenly doesn’t seem like such a big number does it.
