Would you go to the pub with someone who had two kids at home who had tested positive?

Just that really. Would you want to sit in a pub for the evening with someone who had two kids at home that had tested positive in the last few days?

No, and I would judge them for going to the pub. Ffs.

No. But I wouldn’t be friends with the type of selfish arse who goes to the pub when it’s highly likely they could have covid. Lateral flow tests are notoriously unreliable / if you’re living and sharing space with someone who has covid, you could easily catch it after you’ve taken the test and left for the pub 🤷🏻‍♀️

No my children have tested positive and I wouldn't dream of going to the pub 😳 potentially spreading Covid to vulnerable people.

Also, if both parents are positive, would you keep your DC off too? Even without symptoms and negative tests?

Not a chance

Yes. Wouldn’t bother me in the slightest.

Also, if both parents are positive, would you keep your DC off too?

Yes I'd keep them away from the pub or restaurant too.

Nope. One of my kids tested positive and my PCR was negative. About a week later, I tested positive. I'm double-jabbed.

Yes, I would be socialising with them.

You do realise COVID aerosols are floating around the pub, right?

No

You do realise COVID aerosols are floating around the pub, right?

But the concentration is much much higher if sitting directly opposite or next to an infected person!

Not a chance in hell and if I were the person whose kids had tested positive, I also would absolutely not be visiting a pub a few days later.

I'm a teacher, and I would hazard a guess that every single person (adult and child) who I come into contact with on a daily basis is a "close contact" of a positive case. Many have members of their households who are currently positive.

The bar staff at the pub presumably don't even know how many/which of their customers may have covid positive cases within their household. I'd say, seeing as you have the luxury of knowing the full situation, and you're able to stay away if you want, then if you're anxious about it just steer clear.

But what if you worked in a pub?! You'd have to go then, even if you had cases of covid in your household 🤷‍♀️

No.
To those saying I’d they’ve had it it’s fine, people are on their third documented bouts of covid with vaccinations. Having the vaccine or previously doesn’t make you magically have a forcefield around you.

If the pub isn't ventilated, then COVID is in the room. The concentration would be high anyway - it's a public space with potentially infected people.

Take it or leave it. Take a PCR test before leaving your home! Oh wait, the vaccine passport and vaccine stop the transmission. Silly me! I forget!

With so many asymptomatic cases going round and the fact 1 in 50-65 of the UK have covid all you 'stay at home preachers' out there are simply being mugs! No one knows who has covid. Most pubs have more than 60 people in so have covid there never mind contacts!

Vaccination was out way - contacts do not have to isolate or stay at home anymore for any reason whether you like it or not. So people 100% should not be made to feel guilty for getting on with their lives. Vaccination is there to stop people worrying anymore about getting covid - whats with you all moving the goalposts? This isn't about avoiding covid , it never was as you can't.

The only saving grace is that if you all anxious lot stay away, then pubs will be a happier place for it.

vaccination is our way out

Absolutely, I would go. And in fact, I did go to both the pub and the cinema while we had 2 covid cases at home back in early October. I'm double-vaxed, most adults are double-vaxed, and those that aren't know the risks.

But what if you worked in a pub?! You'd have to go then, even if you had cases of covid in your household 🤷‍♀️

Yes, so let's not increase the risk further by going out for leisure (if you have a positive covid family member)

You are allowed out for leisure if you have covid at home

You may not like it but it’s totally allowed

No way.

People in my household have tested positive this week but as I'm negative I'm still commuting to work daily. No different to going to the pub. What's the issue?

If I am going to step foot inside a community space, then I will accept the chance of contracting COVID. Vaccinated or un-vaccinated.

Definitely not!
