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.

None ATM. Every other person seemed to get it back in July when Delta was running rife.

Crapslattern · 29/12/2021 19:03

Over the last 10 days - 17, including my 2 dcs. More than EVER before.

RickyZooom · 29/12/2021 19:08

So many… (myself included). I read earlier than 1 in 2 PCR tests in Ireland is positive! (I’m not in Ireland but was just Shock reading it). So anyone with a cough or sniffle testing has Covid. Not to mention the asymptomatic ones. It’s crazily rife at the moment. I wonder what the outcome will be - surely everyone will have antibodies after this?

Zero

I know 15 within the last 3 weeks and theres prob more they just haven't tested

SquirmOfEels · 29/12/2021 19:32

Oh yes - two of the people I know (parents of DC3's classmate) are confirmed second infections (presumably omicron, following earlier variant before) Don't know if any others are

Theonlyoneiknow · 29/12/2021 19:41

None at the moment, and since covid started - a total of maybe 5 ? And I don't live rurally.

vickyc90 · 29/12/2021 19:41

Positive PCRs -9
Symptomatic COVID -1 and then it's only loss of taste and smell

Theimpossiblegirl · 29/12/2021 19:44

Just today, 4 people who have already had delta are positive again. Blows my immunity theory out of the water.

Onatree · 29/12/2021 19:44

None

ZoChan · 29/12/2021 19:49

Zero and personally know about ten cases over the last two years

SilverBirchWithout · 29/12/2021 19:51

Over the past 2-3 weeks - some are clear now. 12 people, one needed admission to hospital for 3 days (young with no known health issues).
All (except 2 toddlers) double-vaccinated, majority with booster. No school-age children, people who are careful and take sensible precautions and wear masks.
From 3 different groups of family/friends and not connected living in different parts of the country.
Very scary times.

blissfulllife · 29/12/2021 19:58

Both docs from our surgery. 4 family members. 4 friends and our 2 next door neighbours. Never known it so bad but they are all mild that I know of

Attictroll · 29/12/2021 20:05

5 but goes up a lot if I add on people who had it before Christmas

theworldsgonefeckingmad · 29/12/2021 20:26

6 that I know personally and about the same again who are Facebook acquaintances so old school friends/work colleagues

elvis4nuts · 29/12/2021 20:44

Notonthestairs · 29/12/2021 20:54

14 since 19/12. Spread across 9 families.

hairymuffet · 29/12/2021 21:00

At least 20.
2 in ITU ventilated
Both triple vaxed

plm456 · 29/12/2021 21:03

Probably about 20. 15 school kids, my son and three adults. But all pre Christmas/last week of term. It seems to have dropped off since.

MotherOfBeardedDragons · 29/12/2021 21:05

Very weird as I haven’t known anyone with it, but now me and my whole family have it and since then everyone I know seems to have it too- unrelated to us as we haven’t had contact with them and some of them live miles, or continents away.

MrsJThornton · 29/12/2021 21:06

8 but likely to rise. Knew hardly anyone who had it before December
