* UK testing nearly non-existant, reported cases reflect that
Actually just tested positive today, managed to make it through the entire pandemic without catching it until now
I’ve never taken a Covid test in my life. I’ve probably had it once or twice but didn’t feel particularly ill so I wasn’t particularly fussy about receiving an official diagnosis. I’d advise other people do the same.
We’re at the tail end of summer and this is when respiratory illnesses are often at their lowest levels. It is obviously a good sign but levels will start to rise now everyone is back at school, university or work. It won’t necessarily be as bad as previous years but COVID cases are definitely going to go up over winter.
It will be interesting to see if cases rise dramatically in the winter. TBH we have had a slight shift in thinking in the UK Workplace. If you ill, don’t come in. Without any sort of enforces and properly implemented testing, its probably not going to be a thing again (i dearly hope)
Unless there is a huge rise in cases and deaths I don’t really see what we can do that is cost effective at this point. Most people have forgotten about it day to day. There are few oddities like my parents who still wont even go on busses or into supermarkets, still mask up in public spaces outdoors, but they are corner cases.

Scottish people seem determined to get their faces as close to mine as possible, no matter how much I back away
In the last couple of days, three people walking towards me on narrow pavements have waited until they were level with me to unleash a massive, uncovered, mucus cough
So this news comes as no surprise
I just got back from a holiday in Turkey and tested positive .
Weirdly, I’m just at the end of my first Covid infection. Managed to swerve the bugger for two and a half years!
No one is testing anymore and when they do they aren’t reporting positives to the website.
It’s obvious what is happening.
I doubt the validity of that statistic.
In the last 72 hours, 15 people in my office alone have all tested positive and that number is still rising.
Brilliant news! Got a bit of a cold myself ATM, crazy to think just a year or two ago I’d have needed to self-isolaye and lose two weeks pay because of it. So happy that normality has returned.
