They got loads of stock now.

?We got more boxes on top of boxes we got a couple of days ago?.

Now the coronavirus crisis has all but finished. Obviously.

Now the coronavirus crisis has all but finished. Obviously.

I'm sorry, but it really hasn't. Cases are still very high (much higher than in the summer following Delta) and the 'new' Omicron variant may be less deadly (to a triple jabbed population) but is still very dangerous for the unvaccinated and clinically vulnerable. And almost certainly won't be the last variant on the block. Certainly I know very many more people personally (close friends and family) who have caught it this time round, even if only one was severely ill (but wasn't hospitalised).

We now know far more about when people may be most infectious, and how infections spread (close contact, unventilated, indoors) so that many of the past restrictions are no longer so necessary - but it still makes a great deal of sense, if you are symptomatic, to test (lateral flow) and if you aren't, but have been close to someone who has tested positive, to test yourself if you are likely to be in 'vulnerable' situations (particularly indoors and spending time with someone). So having lateral flows available is still a very good thing.
