Dawson Park Boy Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I think we need to stop all the testing. I'm constantly reading on here of people feeling a bit flu- like and rushing to take tests. Why? What’s the point? If you’re not seriously ill, just ride it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the current guidance and it lets you know for sure whether it’s a cold or the dreaded (and great for 10 days off) coronavirus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 New Zealand timetable for opening up. Quote From 11.59pm on 27 February, fully vaccinated New Zealanders in Australia will be permitted entry. Rather than staying at one of the country’s expensive quarantine facilities, known as MIQ, they must self-isolate at home for 10 days. They will also be required to take multiple Covid tests during this period. From 11.59pm on 13 March - a fortnight later - New Zealanders from other parts of the world and their families will be allowed to return under the same conditions. Some skilled and critical workers will also be permitted to return, and the working holiday scheme will resume. Ardern said this two-week gap would enable public health services to adjust in anticipation of a rise in Covid cases and will allow the border system to “keep scaling up in the safest way possible”. From 12 April, non-citizens with visas and up to 5,000 international students will be allowed to enter. By July, tourists from the UK, US, Australia and other visa-free countries will be allowed back in. An exact date has yet to be confirmed, but Ardern said there was a “high-likelihood” that the July date could be brought forward. She stated: “This stage is likely to begin when we have much larger case numbers than we have now. For planning, we anticipate this stage will begin no later than July. I want to place strong emphasis on this being the latest we expect this to begin.” Finally, in October 2022, tourists from the rest of the world will once more be permitted entry to New Zealand under the current schedule. https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/new-zealand-travel-rules-covid-update-b2006748.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised that people are still testing as well tbh. If I get a runny nose and a sore throat I won’t be staying in the house for 10 days I’m afraid. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Mind the Sridhar's of this world were saying how places like New Zealand could have travel bubbles with other 'Zero Covid' countries. Lasted about four days. Some of the grifting from the 'experts' throughout has been unholy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of us has either had symptoms or a test. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get a runny nose and a sore throat I won’t be staying in the house for 10 days I’m afraid. I haven't been feeling great for the last 3 days, sore throat, sinuses etc. Tested negative both Tuesday and Wednesday, however I tested positive this afternoon. I'm not working for now so will lie low for a few days drinking beer and wine and hopefully I'll test negative (twice) in 5/6 days. My main concerns are for my Mother and Wife. Mother is almost 83 years old and as such very vulnerable. I wont mention anything as she'll just worry and she's not showing any symptoms. She will have to take a LFT before she goes to her day care so gonna wait for that unless anything changes. Mrs b-l has major issues with her asthma and needs medication every day to manage it, hence why I (we) need to be careful. As it stands for me it's more like a car accident that wasn't your fault, however you still have to deal with the shit, now that it's happened. Edit. Malt whisky has made me change some of the text.

Suspect Device Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Never had covid as far as I know even before I was triple vaxxed. Neither have my wife (triple vaxxed) or daughter (unvaxxed). The 'rona is rife at her school but she's never tested positive. Off today with a sore throat and cough but tested negative so far. Will test her again tonight but if that's negative she's going back in tomorrow. Wife and bairn both had the flu in Dec 19 but that is unlikely to have been covid if it wasn't here until the January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetterlund Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I've had 2 jabs, while the Mrs and most of my local extended family have had 3, apart from my brother, who along with his Mrs and son decided not to get it. My brother's Mrs caught the rona at work early on (she's a nurse), and my triple-jagged mum has had it twice, but other than that to my knowledge the rest of us have escaped the plague. Is it really that unusual not to have had it? Throughout the whole thing, I'd say a small minority of my family and friends/colleagues have been struck with it. (family outbreak incoming) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
