Maybe I've become an old, cynical curmudgeon, but I'm finding this whole jab/ testing deal a bit hard to follow!
Booked into hospital next week for back surgery, providing I still get to go due to elective surgery, have had both shots, plus the booster, told have to have test no more tha 72 hrs before admission.
Explained that I had done a couple of RAT testts at home, still have one kit here unused.
Told by admissions that the RAT would NOT be acceptable due to the high incidence of failure rate, quoted 60-80% being OK, their figures,not mine!
Been such a hoo-hah about us
all trying to keep ourselves safe, you'd have to question the motives behind the push for RTA,if they are not going to be accepted. OK, they do tell you they are an indicator only and I can accept the hospitals wishes to take all available precautions.
But, you would be surprised the amount of people I have encountered who in some cases have had only the initial jab, maybe the follow up and then opted for the RAT saying,
"Oh no, it's OK , I'm clear, go out and mix freely and openly with the rest of the population.
Reckon there's some dangerous mis-information floating around out there, I'm no conspiracy theorist by any means, nor a panic merchant, but this is undoubtably the most severe pandemic since the great flu outbreak at the end of WW1!
Polio, Thalidiomide inclusive !
And you can't say that we haven't been made aware, the past two years or so, on the news and in the papers, even sent to your mobile phone.
Just maybe a bit of "saturation" has crept in?
How many of your friends/aquaintances have you heard say lately," covid? i'm over it! Dont even want to discuss it!"
