To ask if you are still avoiding covid?

I know it’s everywhere but are people still avoiding seeing friends / family if they know it’s definitely covid? Or is no one worried anymore?
I feel like I wouldn’t want to put myself in the line of fire knowingly as it’s made me bed bound twice - not seriously ill or anything but like a flu - but I don’t know if I’m over the top about it given that it’s now just everywhere in the community anyway.

People needing to live a normal life is also rife, and must be balanced with panic about covid.

I agree. But that doesn't mean covid isn't everywhere at the moment, because it is. I wouldn't isolate due to covid.

Yea I avoid it as much as I would anything else. If you told me you had flu, or hand foot and mouth (rife in little kids) the id also stay away. I don’t treat it like the plague of 2020 anymore though

Is it 'everywhere'?

Granted nobody I know is testing these days, but I don't know anyone who has Covid.

I'll certainly be avoiding it even more than I do already. Having had no health conditions I've recently been diagnosed with diabetes, which apparently now means I'm clinically vulnerable, and entitled to a vaccination this autumn which I'm going to have.

I’ve been in bed with LC for 15 months. My liifr is destroyed and I’m suicidal.

Some of us have no choice.

No. Because I never did except maybe the first 2 weeks . Never had a jab and had it once . I was fine all day 3pm felt iffy 5pm felt like shit tested positive. Slept till 9am . Woke felt OK just drained. By 10pm I was ordering kebab !
I was lucky and all our family were I think only my dsis caught it.

I was due to have non-emergency surgery in an NHS hospital a couple of weeks ago, I needed to cancel due to childcare issues but on the morning I called to cancel I also tested covid positive.

When I called the hospital the nurse told me that they would have still performed the surgery even if I was covid positive... which surprised me.

Yes my friend had 4 wisdom teeth out when civil positive 3 weeks ago. The hospital knew too they said its fine as long as she wasn't really poorly with it
