If you have symptoms you know and then get help. If you have no symptoms there is nothing to gain by testing, other than to increase testing and positive figures to encourage the continuation of this madness.

Covid is here to stay, people will get sick, people will die. The facts now however is its no worse than many other illnesses.

I think the worlds government's have all got themselves in a corner with covid and don't know how to get out of it, having been involved in the main pandemic.

Governments are now almost controlled by scientists these days, previously unknown people who are now household names and powerful. These people will not give that up easily. Likewise the heads of health services are also more powerful and influential than ever and some household names. This supported by the constant scaremongering of the press has made this continue to the point that no government knows how to get back to normal, whilst these new household names don't want to give up their new found fame and power.

I'm not anti vaccine, ive had all 3, neither am I against some restrictions. But I do believe the time has been reached where we just need to get on with it, be aware of risks, but also accept that with the vaccine programmes this virus is now no more a threat than many other illnesses and the world needs to start accepting that.

Once that happens the world will start rebuilding, economies start growing and people can get on with their lives.

The tel number given is a Spanish recording and I’m told that it may ask for your Tel number but they never return the call. Clearly, numerous people are not being included in the daily numbers and never will be either. My friend’s husband ( asthmatic) was Very poorly when he had it. Wife ‘phoned surgery for help and after 4 days got antibiotics ( no return call ever)
Doctor promised a call a week after infection to have him PCR tested in Torrevieja but that never happened. I’m afraid the covid19 infections are higher but thankfully people seem to be able to manage. My brother in law ( NI) was prescribed antibiotics ( AMPICILLIN used for lungs and bladder problems) and had no after affects. I keep a packet in my drawer in Spain for any eventuality and have been very glad to have them. I’m not a doctor but I do self medicate if necesssry and as my husband has COPD I am aware that should he catch covid19, his lungs would be compromised so antibiotics will be on hand for that eventually.
