    Much as I hate to jump in on a private ‘discussion’...

    Surely the recommendation following a positive test result is to isolate for 10 days. I know that’s what my niece’s partner had to do.

    I read that a negative test after 5 days can release you. No idea how you would get that test though laughing

    Four hundred military personnel have been deployed to hospitals in the Midlands and London to help the fight against Covid-19, the NHS has said.
    They are working alongside doctors and nurses amid "unprecedented pressure" on the service.
    The NHS has not said which or how many hospitals are involved, how the 400 are shared among them, or the roles armed forces members are performing.
    But trusts in Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Shropshire are receiving support.
    The armed forces have been involved in coronavirus operations since last year, including helping with community testing.

    I think you must have misunderstood undecided I wasn't suggesting that ALL the Armed Forces get vaccinated just those who are now working in the Hospitals on the Covid wards, the ones still manning Covid testing and any that end up giving the vaccines. As these will be coming into contact with high viral loads I think they deserve the same duty of care as our NHS and care workers.

    surprisedlaughing thanks,  I guess I do have great respect for them. My OH was in the Army for 45 years man and boy. Our eldest son is still serving in the Army  he's coming up to his 26th year in March and our youngest son served 5 years. 

    Do we often disagree wink

    Indeed it is Ruffs you are correct, from the NHS website

    If you had a positive swab test that was sent to a lab (PCR test):

    you do not need another test
    you and anyone you live with must self-isolate until you're no longer infectious (usually until 10 full days after your symptoms started or you had the test)

    I will repost this in case you missed it, this is fact no fiction

    "

    well my mother in law, who has been in hospital since before christmas, was covid-negative on entry, but has now been covid positive since approx Christmas day, and is still positive as of yesterday, but we were told by her doctor/occupational health who want to move her to a community hospital, that she would not have be contagious after 5/10 days. I should say that she is now asymptomatic.

    This sorts of fits in with current policy e.g.

    you get a test prove positive

    isolate for 10 days

    without another test, provided you are well, you can go about your daily life, no need for test to prove you are negative"

    If you actually develop Covid after a positive test the regulations change according to your situation. There is "infection stepdown control" info on the gov.uk web site. There's a whole raft of protective measures out there.

    Interesting bit of  information that has come out of Israel and it seems has made this Medical experts sit up and take notice ,,In that one Jab of the Phyzer vacine has been found to only give 33%? protection against the virus rather than much higher as was first thought

    It seems that "the jab" is not the panacea we had all hoped. If it 'merely' reduces the possibility of death but nothing else, then social distancing and other preventative measures are going to be with us indefinitely and Covid19 is possibly going to be part of the landscape on a permanent basis. A depressing thought.
