    I bet you could guess who they were Dive!

    Here is one up from me. I see nothing wrong with your idea.

    I don't have it, and I have tested negative on two occasions.

    I took the tests as I had been out and around more than I should all year because of family so I wanted to make sure. Also had an antibody test but no results were ever available.

    Well played!

    Will you get the vaccine as soon as it’s available?

    I know I will be expected to because of my age, but I will not take the vaccine unless I have to. Will you?

    Edit: I may sound conceited, I don't mean to be. I have never taken vaccines for influenza, and I have been fortunate without them. But if I have to, I will.

    This is my thinking as well and by have to I mean when they won’t allow people to fly without having it. Which I hope never happens but have a feeling it will. I don’t have an issue with vaccines in general, have taken all what I needed before but this one I’m really not sure about for a number of reasons.

    To answer Dives question, I was tested once in June and it was negative but I think I had it in March. Will have to be tested again before coming back to the UK, not looking forward to that.

    When I took an antibody test (never had the result) I was told by the nurse that any antibodies could be gone by the day after, depending on when I was infected - they only last, I was told, for about 6 months. If you don't know for certain when you had the infection, what's the point of testing?

    That’s the thing, a year later and they still don’t know everything, at the start we were fed that it can live on surfaces for so long and to wash everything. Some people took the extreme of that and even washed their shopping when they got back or it was delivered but now you don’t hear about that anymore. How can there be a new virus and at the same time be a test for the virus? Also this thing about asymptotic people, it’s not hepatitis b where people can carry it without having the actual illness, it’s a type of coronavirus like the flu, how can you have it but show no symptoms? The amount of false positives in sports has really shown how useless the testing is, my cousin tested positive, obviously sleeps with his wife but she ever had the virus? How is that possible? How all this rubbish about the strains and them being more transmitable but yet they’re all sure the same vaccine will offer immunity for them as well? The vaccine that didn’t exist a few months ago now covers strains of viruses that possibly don’t even exist yet? The entire thing is a massive puzzle bordering on complete farce imo.

    Tell all that to the people's families who have died from it and are dying every day.

    Tell them not to wear masks like the Trumpster, and you well end up a victim yourself and look at it in a different light.

    It’s definitely odd, that’s for sure. However the NHS is overrun.
