About a month ago 40,000 care workers lost their jobs due to being unvaccinated. In 2 weeks isolation because of covid will be history, likely followed by free lateral flow tests vanishing, so asymptomatic care workers, as well as slightly poorly ones will be working as usual. Anybody feeling conflicted?
I imagine I will be wearing my mask type thing while shopping for a little while yet, anyone else? Would you perhaps pay to buy lateral flow tests before visiting elderly relatives? Strange days ahead methinks. [Post edited 9 Feb 2022 19:28]

Bit of a convoluted way of getting your dig in.
I suggest that you remain cautious of Covid-19 and just because the government have declared the pandemic over to be conscious of previous untruths. |  | | |

As a Health Care Assistant friend of mine put it, Covid is now a political issue, not a medical one. |  |

Strange because I'm not getting a dig in. I thought saying I will be wearing a mask still might have implied as much. | |

Literally the only reason the dropping of restrictions has been brought forward is because the government are bigoted, corrupt and incompetent and this is a distraction technique. Again.
There's definitely another 'Boris is corrupt/racist/incompetent' story brewing. | |

I expect covid rules will be back in place by October/November when numbers inevitably pick up. |  | | |

Just read that Sweden is dropping all remaining restrictions too almost immediately so I guess the political point will apply across the board. | |

Of course. All politicians like to present their voters with nice things, whether realistic or not. | |

Mrs SSB has just been discussing this over the phone with me. At present, she's working away in a care home doing ridiculous hours as the staffing levels are low due to positive tests from the carers.
None of them had any symptoms. She is feeling conflicted as in a few of the homes she is responsible for, some good long standing members of the team have left due to them not having the vaccine.
In fact, she's pretty pissed off about todays annoncement. I expect another chat about it later when she's back in the hotel.
As regarding the mask wearing, yep, it's become 2nd nature to wear it in shops. [Post edited 9 Feb 2022 20:08]

| We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

Yeah, I think it’s quite hard to argue otherwise (not that it’ll stop people).
I’d like to understand more of the reasoning behind the devolved nations responses though. We seem to trail England by a week or few, whatever the response. I suspect we will here as well with dropping isolation. I’d like to know if that’s informed by data or just a realisation that we can’t be too far out of synch with England due to porous border/confusion with different messages/need to comply to retain political capital. |  |

Over here there’s a very noticeable shift in the media’s reporting of covid. From daily lead story to almost nothing now. Maybe if we don’t talk about it, the virus will magically go away. |  |

But in Sweden it has never really felt much like a party political issue , partly because the government has always had to cooperate with regional government, with some regions governed by the opposition. There has been little disagreement. And the success or failure of policy is more attributed to the country's chief medical officer, who most people would see as politically neutral. |  | | |

Will be interesting getting her insight. I will defo carry on with a mask although having now had 2 covid encounters with Junior and stayed well I can only presume that the vaccine is doing its work. I am a bit sh1t at being ill though so why risk it with 1 in 100 still positive in East Suffolk. | |
