Covid tests for the 'vulnerable'?

[Energy58]

We had a customer that was off work for a week with covid quite recently. Yes, it is still out there and being a nuisance. No, most people don't give a shit.

I had it in Feb (3rd time) - in the mildly annoying form (sore throat and cough) - SWMBO was off for a week early this month but was much worse, with gastro symptoms being the first and most obvious indicator, she's had it about 4 times now - its still kicking about for sure.

Gastro symptoms?

Just came back off holiday, wife and son have both been ill with stomach bugs, daughter was ill while away, I`ve got a bit of a (very mild) cough today after a sore throat......

I think these latest ones probably have the microchips embedded in them.

B.S.

The chips are in the vaccines, as any fule kno.

I had an email a couple of weeks ago saying the government would be sending me some free covid tests because of my 'vulnerable conditions' - this read so much like a scam post that I ignored it. A box of tests arrived this morning. I mentioned it at the doctors and they'd not heard anything about it - nothing in my notes and no other patients had mentioned it. Has anyone else received any? AFAIK, none of my inbreeding-caused weirdnesses leave me vulnerable to Covid.

My day job is looking out for, and knocking on the head, "scams"

I'm getting fed up with (well-intentioned and educated) members of the public reporting a scam which, after lots of investigation costing a considerable amount of (public) money and a request to take down a bogus website and its associated phone number; turn out to be genuine, but the organiser didn't think to liaise with local healthcare / GP practices etc. I don't blame the public for reporting, but it would really help if those providing "help" didn't go out of their way to look like scammers...

Ah, but these ones get shoved into your nose and re-supply the vaccine ones.

And they are the new generation chips that monitor your breathing.

I often go walking with a friend who has a watch that counts the number of steps she has taken. I asked what happens if you wear it whilst bonking. She won't tell me!

It's still with us. The care home my mum is in has had a couple of lockdowns/lockouts recently 'cos either visitors or staff were found to have covid.

It should count , quite as much exertion as walking.
