"I think I'll just stop testing"

This is where I am right now, i'm not getting the booster. The government have lost information traction with me.

Get the booster for your own health and that of those around you not because of or for this useless government.

Covid test shortages threaten New Year’s Eve celebrations in England
Pharmacists run out of LFT kits and NHS struggles to offer walk-in slots after ministers give go-ahead to events

What really riles me is the claim by the UKHSA that there is "unprecedented demand" for tests. This implies that the gov'mint was unprepared for the great unwashed to do as asked and test before engaging in social activities. They have driven the demand and so should have ensured corresponding supply.



I think I'll just stop testing.

The same government who couldn't work out that every September there is a good reason for increases in cases....

Too late shirley - peak infections will be now (with the obvious delay in impact on the NHS). I imagine new infections will tail off - sociable people have already caught it.

New Years Eve for the rest to catch it.
