The main problem now with rising cases is the amount of disruption to workplaces etc.rather than anyone being sick. If we end up treating it like the flu surely all this stuff has to be canned. Is it binned in the English plan ? Wales have extended they’re track and trace until 2022. I assume the rest of the UK will do the same. Absolutely ridiculous if they don’t change the isolation “rules”. A workplace with a few staff members off because one of their weans classmates had a cough would be a riddy...and is happening right now in Ayrshire 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely ridiculous if they don’t change the isolation “rules”. A workplace with a few staff members off because one of their weans classmates had a cough would be a riddy...and is happening right now in Ayrshire [emoji58]The Buff in Prestwick and Gillie Dhu in Ayr have both been forced to close due to staff testing positive but that just seems synonymous with the general rise in prevelance again in S Ayrshire. Not read of anywhere closing due to close contact isolation yet but if cases are on the rise and these are the rules, it's inevitable. The local facebook pages are utterly farcical ...WEEGIES, dirty Weegies it's all the fault of the Weegies. FFS !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Got a message from my son's school. Anyone on a certain school bus on a certain day should self-isolate, and so should their families. Luckily he was on a different bus. Makes me wonder how many people are actually ill from this bus journey full of teenagers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rule has always been that direct contacts of positive cases should self-isolate. Households of contacts do not need to isolate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if he had been on that bus, me, the wife and our daughter would be self-isolating* rigidly, not leaving the house for 2 weeks. *we would not be self-isolating. f**k that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be more children admitted to hospital taking an allergic reaction to eating something, licking something or tripping over on the way into, the building that has the soft play area than would be by catching covid. NB: not a doctor, this is not medical advice but I am pretty confident it is accurate. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is incorrect. Epidemiologically speaking you are correct. However I’m just telling you what the rules state: - If someone tests positive, all direct close contacts must isolate, but contacts of contacts/households of contacts do not need to. - If someone you live with develops symptoms or tests positive then the entire household/support bubble isolates for 10 days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
