I had my eye test this week: apparently I have the eyes of a 25 year old - as a friend promptly said, "Didn't they want them then?"

We were all wearing masks.  It's close contact after all.

I am back from my holiday and have covid.  I think I picked it up the day before we went when a masked former neighbour hugged me. She is just like that! She said she had covid but thought she was over it.
She had been to a large event and knew loads of people who afterwards had covid.

The staff in the hotel all wore masks but many had their noses uncovered.

We only developed very dry throats 2 days before we came home and only at night so we thought it was the air con.

Feels like flu but hopefully won’t go on too long.

There's a lesson in crowded places.  Many have been affected following the Jubilee celebrations .........

[ATB]

Alton towers and other such places have been open, busy and crowded for months and months, no masks, no distancing. The jubilee won’t have changed much considering.

[CLKD]

Totally different situations, Theme Parks, Zoos to close encounters as shown on TV.  Also charting those now becoming infected that were socialising during those Jubilee events.  It's all helpful with regards Research.

[ATB]

No they’re pretty close at theme parks, especially in the queues, and not always outdoors as most of jubilee large events were. As we know it’s close contact in our homes for extended periods that’s been more of a source of spread, which I guess must have happened a lot more during the holiday weekend.

[CLKD]

Many members of the public now infected were at large outdoor events.

[ATB]

I’m sure some were yes. But rates are rising across Europe and in the US as well.

[jaypo]

I think the rising rates are of a much milder variant aren't they? I've stopped reading about Covid tbh,think we've all had our fair share 

[ATB]

Yes we have indeed!

[Pennyfarthing]

I went to our surgery yesterday and didn’t realise I needed a mask again!  We’ve only had a couple of weeks not wearing them. The look I got from the receptionist when I apologised for not having a mask!!

The receptionists are behind perspex screens anyway and it is just a very small practice.

Still seeing lone people driving around in their cars wearing masks.  I will never, ever understand that one.

Because PF it's easier if 1 is getting in and out to keep a mask on, lessens the need to touch each time.  They may be care workers between Clients.  Or like me, going into shop after shop after .......

The twice I've not worn mine I've felt very vulnerable  .  I try to match masks with coloured socks  .  Many Health Authorities are reintroducing the necessity and a few across England have declared states of emergency to a bed shortage  . 12 hour wait at some A&E Depts.

Here the province has announced anyone over the age of 18 can now get their 4th shot (2nd booster). However, in the fall there will be a new bivalent vaccine that will combat the older strains plus the new more transmissible B.A.5 strain that is running rampant now.  I have also noticed more people are starting back to wearing masks in the grocery stores. I haven't been wearing a mask since I finished work and I've been ok with that.  I have a feeling a mask mandate might be in place when the kids go back to school.

[jaypo]

I'm back to wearing mine but only because we need to have a negative lateral flow the day before we go on our cruise,think I was the only one wearing one in Tesco

Most of them are too old to be careworkers. 

i haven’t heard anything about state of emergency due to covid. It’s only like a bad cold.we all got it.
