Enitrely anecdotal, but 2 of the 4 of us that shared a tent at Glastonbury tested positive this week. Of my other group of friends about 2/3rds of them have been taken out, and of *another* group of friends about 50% of them picked it up too.
Deaths are still low, probably due to vaccination. Almost all adults and older children have been offered vaccines I thought. Also, the Omicron variant appears to be less serious than earlier strains.
Now do hospitalisations.
Then tell us their vaccination status.
Myself and my GF tested positive after being in greece 2 weeks ago, over 10 people in work and was told the pubs near me are empty because so many have covid and have gotten quite sick from it

Thats generally because people wont wear masks. Its like watching children waiting for their parents to tell them when to wash their hands.
Westminster wanted the herd immunity approach to keep us in the shops, their advice is angled to look after their backers money and not to look after our health as a priority.
Wear. Your. Fucking. Masks. (and wash your fucking hands too ya clatty bastards).
Me and mate attended Rammstein concert in Coventry on Sunday. Both of us have come down with it along with our Mums.
Me and other half are just getting over COVID. Both triple jabbed and felt absolutely horrible and now we’re both feeling knackered all the time with foggy heads.. hope it passes soon.
COVID is here to stay, like flu.
We might as well get used to it.
I came down with it almost two weeks ago (first time). Testing negative now, but bloody hell it lingers… still coughing all the time and still feeling knackered. Horrible illness.
I had it 2 weeks ago, I was coughing my intestines out for a few days then it turned into a generic cough/cold. 10 days in total and now I’m still exhausted every day after work, I sleep 13 hours a day consistently, my fitness training has gone down the drain. Lung capacity gone backwards about a year, super annoyed but you can’t give up.
Currently positive for the second time, first time was back in December 2020. Completely different set of symptoms this time.
And what is more fucked about this, people cannot test themselves at home because they now cost money to get a test kit.

This spike was predicted way back at start of year, is it a case of the herd immunity being played out now or is it just going to keep going like this with vaccines forever and the old and weak getting taken out?
I really don’t think people care about covid anymore
I was in A&E the other day and was quite surprised how many older people were there with covid.
Been in contact with a couple positive people recently including my partner who had it and caught nothing.
I may have been bitten by a radioactive conspiracy theorist guys.
But…but Johnson said he had done Covid and it was all over and our hospitals and economy were back to normal?
On a serious note, this is going to be quite serious this autumn / winter if the government don’t sort their shit out.
I literally live where Glastonbury festival is and everyone i know, now has covid, and they’re friends, just everyooonnee
I had long covid a year back and I’m still feeling the fatigue now. My immune system isn’t what it was and I’m genuinely less with it mentally too.
Learn to live with it is all well and good but that means also accepting that some of us are genuinely being effected to this day. And my partner suffers from M.E so she already spent 80^ of her life locked down with minor illnesses before covid., let alone the worry about this now as well.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t have opened up but the trumpian ‘just don’t test’ approach of charging for tests now and not making it easy for pepple to properly assess their own risks.is utter bullshit
Most of the staff at the surgury I work at starting to test positive too. Really starting to affect the operation of the place as some are doctors, nurses, receptionist. Just hope it don’t continue to rise. Just had it confirmed masks are mandatory for the staff now.
We had one patient claiming that covid doesn’t exist it just a cold. Which is daft, he is elderly and doesn’t have vaccinations. Rather scary really.
I’m surprised people are even bothering to test anymore.
I’m not a Covid denier, anti vax or anti mask etc. I’m asking this question in good faith. Why is this an issue? Isn’t the current strain of Covid essentially just a cold? How many people in the UK have a bad cold right now? Is that news?
Am i completely wrong on this? Are people still dying en masse? I thought we solved it.
I’ve had covid twice and both times I barely had any symptoms
Maybe it makes me a shit person but I can’t just isolate and lose years of my life because of it
I’ve had Long Covid for over two years (caught alpha in March 2020) and it has completely derailed my life, so I genuinely struggle to understand why people are so flippant with the risks. Im pretty much housebound, rely on my family to care for me and have to use a wheelchair. I was perfectly fit and healthy beforehand. It’s not mortality of Covid people should worry about, it’s the risk of morbidity.
