From living in an area that thankfully had low numbers in previous waves, it’s been the opposite this time and I’m surprised how many people I know currently have it. Some of them aren’t sure where they’re catching it either (no kids/jobs); are triple jabbed and ‘careful’ with mask wearing etc.

Honestly about 15 at least, that includes family, 3 neighbours and dc friends

Theunamedcat · 29/12/2021 00:11

Two and one suspect me my youngest and my other son most likely has it too

KurtWildesChristmasNamechange · 29/12/2021 00:12

Zero

Blinkinname · 29/12/2021 00:12

Quite a few. Probably more that don't know they have it yet. Four of the nine I spent Xmas day with . Fifth awaiting test result. Six and seven awaiting PCR test. Hope I escape as only had it a month ago

Blinkinname · 29/12/2021 00:13

Oh and all 'careful'. Our spreader caught it from a 121 meeting, not some big event.

None

0 but then in two years of this bloody pandemic I've only known 2 people have it and one worked in a hospital and I worked with her husband who understandibly caught it from her.

Me and my son haven't had it, my mother and grandmother who I visit daily haven't had it. My brother and his wife +3 children haven't caught it.

No work colleague other than the one mentioned has had it, and we all work in the community and have done so on a face to face basis throughout the pandemic 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's bizzare. However covid does exist and is real. I think me my family and my colleagues are just an anomaly 🤣

ButteryNuts · 29/12/2021 00:13

Zero. Haven't actually known anyone get it since June (me!)

XenoBitch · 29/12/2021 00:13

My FB feed is full of pics of positive LFT (why do people do that?).

Puppyseahorse · 29/12/2021 00:13

More than I’ve known for the previous 2 years.

Approx 15.

Momof2boys1girl · 29/12/2021 00:15

About 10

KatherineofGaunt · 29/12/2021 00:16

About 6 or 8. More at the same time than I've known previously. The cases chart for my area shows a massive spike in the past month or two.

catfunk · 29/12/2021 00:16

Honestly loads - about 20. Nobody seriously ill though.

CardRoomGreen · 29/12/2021 00:16

More than I've known in the whole time. About 6 whole families of very close friends. None of them connected to each other.

Lindy2 · 29/12/2021 00:18

I know of 2 families who have it in their households at the moment. One is a family of 3 who all have it. The other family, I'm not sure how many of them have tested positive, but they definitely have at least 1 person with Covid right now.

Sallydimebar · 29/12/2021 00:18

12 at the moment all individuals, that number could rise in next few days with their family members.

Grumpycatsmum · 29/12/2021 00:18

Today 4. Last week about 10

frenchiemummy92 · 29/12/2021 00:19

2 people currently. My nephew and niece.

Jinglemychristmasbells · 29/12/2021 00:20

None right now and I only know 1 person who has had COVID.

CovidCorvid · 29/12/2021 00:20

Must be getting on for 50 if I’m counting immediate family of friends and colleagues. Local friends, people I know at the gym, colleagues, ex colleagues. A colleague’s husband died on Xmas day.
