| I got a positive test result this morning. 17:23 - May 15 with 16641 views | Pecker |
I received the news that I gave a positive test on Thursday. I have none of the symptoms and feel absolutely fine, but 7 days isolation ahead. No idea where or how, as they are really careful at the hospital and I only go shopping once a week. Just as some of the restrictions have been lifted as well. I am sure the Wife and I will be fine, but have to have no contact with the outside world for 7 days. I shall stay off here as much as I can, as not to annoy the hell out of you all. Take care and stay safe.
Edit: It was suggested that my original post was misleading or a lie by one respected and prominent member, so I have corrected. Sorry for any confusion. I can assure you all that it was never my intention to mislead anyone. I hope you all know I would never lie about such a serious and life threatening virus. I shall stay off here for a while, as I am deeply hurt by the suggestion. Take Care Everyone and Stay Safe. [Post edited 16 May 2020 10:51]

I'll tell you exactly what I think.
There are 2 possibilities.
1. He is ill as described. So he could well not be considering twtd as all that important.
2. He is a fantasist, as described. In which case something isn't right in his head. In which case the Twtd massive piling in with glee could lead to something very unpleasant.
I dont say that lightly. I know of a Hillsborough fantasist who was exposed for pretending he was a hero at the match, and then killed himself.
So even if Pecker is a fantasist, I'd suggest letting it lie is a far more appropriate course of action rather than a public lets all pile in and shame the guy. There could be issues you and I know nothing of. |
To be fair, it would be of little surprise if the volunteers were being tested more regularly than the NHS staff.
The government won’t want NHS frontline staff going off work. They also won’t want volunteers catching it. |  |

And either way it's important to separate the two.
The firm running the mini-buses aren't NHS of course but a private company who may have their own testing standards for whatever reasons.
Although if posters know other volunteer drivers then that's their call and not mine to make.
But E-zec aren't owned by the NHS, they just provide the service, so really comparisons shouldn't be made there. |  |

Would you agree that lying about testing positive for covid-19 would be an awful thing to do?
From the evidence supplied it appears Pecker is lying. That is from frontline staff in the same hospital he's supposedly volunteering for.
It's interesting that you want to take a swipe at me but not look at the evidence in front of you. [Post edited 16 May 2020 20:51]

Considering what KJ (and Hoppy) ((and many many others as well)) are going through if this is made up then it’s very very sick.
I’m with you and think ‘Pecker’ is a ‘creation’. |  |

Is it not worth a chat with admin in private?
That might be preferable to a public hanging. | |

Deserve or not isn't the point.
If it's made up then admin may wish to handle things.
If it isn't then things are awkward.
Either way a private chat may be the better bet. | |

I didn't defend anything Pickles ever posted. I thought it was poor form when your crowd pulled up threads on him being a landlord on a money advice site and I wasn't the only one who said so.
You are getting a reputation for this sort of digging into people's lives. That you continue to do so is worrying.
Edit. I'll leave it there as I have no wish to continue this conversation. Perhaps at least take on board the advice of posters like Ryory and Lagos. [Post edited 16 May 2020 20:50]

GB I am sorry but I think your wrong on this one.. footers has rightly questioned a poster who claims to drive a van and gets a Covid test daily ? Seriously there are many on here who are directly and indirectly impacted in a terrible way by this virus. To claim on here you have tested positive in the circumstances the poster explained just doesn’t add up and footers was spot on to call him out. If footers and myself included are wrong I will apologise but I don’t think we are and I find the whole thread deeply offensive and completely disrespectful to the real true hero’s currently supporting our frontline. |  | | |

*"If* footers and myself are proved wrong ... but I don't *think* we are...
Can you really not wait until an actual *fact* is established?
You're right about "deeply offensive" though, whichever way the situation pans out now. |  |

Plenty of facts have been established. They're just ones you don't like.
If it adds any credence to the claim, I'll add that while Pecker was going about his daily driving duties for the NHS he was also PMing me trying to stir up the rumour that I am Spruce.
So tell me, real person or troll. Jesus Christ. |  |

What *fact* has been established?
None relating to my main point about the testing of VOLUNTEER drivers, as opposed to paid NHS staff, a point you've not answered the 3 times I've mentioned it.
One thing's for sure, there's a human being on the keyboard posting what he did. As I assume you are a human being too - tho I've never met you of course ... ;) | |

What evidence do you have that volunteers are tested differently? I haven't seen any and my cousin who's working as a nurse says it sounds like "bullsh1t".
All the real people I know working on the frontline in the NHS aren't tested at all unless sympomatic. But here you are believing Pecker somehow gets tested every day despite being asymptomatic because he is a volunteer? And then you ignore what he said about getting results on the same day?
His story is full of holes.
Yes, there is a human on the end of the keyboard. And, strange as it may sound, some people go on the internet to tell lies for fun. This is one of those times. | |

Short of a confession we will never know the truth. There's enough here to warrant serious suspicion though. I don't think Footers is out of order for wanting to address the obvious holes in Pecker's story considering there are people on here who we know for a fact have been impacted by the virus.
Personally I find it extremely hard to believe that volunteer drivers are getting daily tests as standard at Ipswich Hospital when front line staff certainly aren't. Relatives and friends working within the NHS say the same thing, and I trust they are telling the truth.
Combining that with Pecker's previous flexibility regarding the truth my instinct is that Footers is probably on the money here.
However, I'd be willing to hear Pecker out should he wish to post at any point [Post edited 16 May 2020 22:42]

You have ignored everything he's said too.
It's a bit rich to take exception and accuse him of ignoring your single point when you've demanded facts and pretended he hasn't offered anything in return.
Pecker has trolled the board several times as he has been forthcoming in admitting himself.
Why you feel you have some stake in this, heck knows.
It is a sensitive subject, but you are now equally guilty of being determined to throw as much on the fire as you can.
All in all, a bit of drama really. | |

Jeezus H - I asked you to find out if they were tested differently, as if they were not, that would prove you right.
I give up with you. But. I'll never give up asking anyone to establish facts where necessary before making serious accusations, probably because I was on the wrong end of a false accusation which went on for years, starting when I was about 10, which had a damaging impact that I can't even begin to describe. | |

OK, so my cousin who's working as a nurse said it sounded like bullsh1t. The overwhelming majority of people I know who work for the NHS aren't tested on a daily basis, and those who have been tested only were because they became symptomatic.
But now you want me to provide evidence that only volunteer drivers at Ipswich hospital are tested on a daily basis for covid-19 without symptoms?
Give it a rest.
But look on the plus side, if Pecker's a real person and actually ill, you can just wave your hands over him and he'll be fine. | |

Completely untrue, as I think is clear from my replies. If not clear, then my writing skills are lacking.
"It is a sensitive subject, but you are now equally guilty of being determined to throw as much on the fire as you can."
You what?? I answered footers' questions. I'll hazard a guess that if I hadn't, I'd have been accused of running away. As for "demanding facts", I asked footers politely for anything that would prove him correct & Pecker wrong, instead of making accusations without any solid evidence. You even said it would be best for footers to take this to Phil & have him deal with it behind the scenes, instead of "hanging Pecker in public" (or words to that effect).
You, Newcy & BlueLagos have all made the same points as me. Yet I'm the only one being attacked - including by you, for having made points that you yourself then went on to make, ffs. I said earlier how I disliked kangaraoo courts, and this is exactly why. Unpleasant accusations without proper evidence, unjust.
Had it up to here, don't need this stress, I'm out. [Post edited 17 May 2020 0:06]

Hope this ends here, but here goes...
Actual people who've been able to support footers' claims: Quite a few, including at the same hospital
Those who've been able to support Pecker's claims: None
Hope this helps. | |

So your argument is that volunteer drivers at Ipswich hospital are the only frontline medical staff in the hospital who are tested on a daily basis despite being asymptomatic? Maybe sitters' sister-in-law could clarify whether that's the case. Be exceptional if true.
Pecker's original, unedited post stated: "Had my usual test before driving this morning and it came back positive" implying the test was carried out that morning, processed and he was declared unable to drive that day.
He then changes his mind to Thursday, not Friday and edits the OP this morning.
The thread is called "I tested positive this morning." No mention of Thursday's result in the OP, only that morning's.
Sorry, you've been had. |
I've long suspected Pecker is an offset of a user who was named after a green thing you put in a burger followed by a random string of numbers.
Not that I really care. |  |
