My dd really doesn't want to test.

My other dd tested + last week. I had tests from work so tested. They iolated for 5 days before going back to school even though I know the guidelines are not to test under 18s. My other dd now has cold symptoms and I've suggested a test but she said she doesn't want to test and is upset by it. It feels irresponsible not to. Would you encourage it or are people not testing their children anymore?

I went to a shop this weekend and saw a lady in a wheelchair with oxygen. I would say she is vulnerable.
I tested positive the next day, so I had probably put her at risk, but how was I to know?
No one is asymptomatic testing anymore. Who can afford it?

YOU did not put her “at risk”

and that is what we need to change.

The notion that you did anything wrong.

The only scenario whereby you would have done anything wrong is if you were very I’ll and coughing and spluttering AND you went to hospital and were tested by the hospital ie NO requirement for you to test, and you tested positive, and you went to the shop coughing and spluttering, knowing you had covid, and you intentionally got in the space of this vulnerable woman and didn’t bother to stop yourself coughing or splutterinG over her
