A bit of a pointless debate this.....too many fixed views on all sides. However, Aber, I will suggest that the vaccinated will suffer less with the infection and probably for a shorter time. Thus, the intensity of infection and duration will result in a reduced overall load , making the vaccinated less likely to transfer the virus. That's science, that is!!!!! (A bit like vaccines, really.)

And you are a scientist yeah......shut the fking door
 
I have today tested possitive for Covid19 although I have had both jabs.

I had a test because unknown to me I was in company with a Covid denier, who did not tell anyone that his wife was very ill with covid.

I have been told that I can sue him. I will wait a few days to see if I improve, if I don't or if his wife dies I will go all the way..


My wife and son have also tested possitive. We are now self-isolate and have been in touch with all have been in our company.


Edit

Howard Levitt: Yes, you can sue someone for negligence if they pass COVID on to you
You will need to prove they were reckless in not properly protecting others from the illness.

Oh no Dai.

Hope you have a mild case only, or even no symptoms.

Keep us posted. <ok>

Hell's teeth Dai. I'm devastated that you've fallen victim to Covid. Hopefully, your jabs will keep symptoms to little or nothing as BfB says.
Loads of Bluebirds behind you mate. <ok>

Ffs vaccinated or not you still pass it on

I don't think anyone is denying that aber.

The point I think Dai is making is more about the irresponsible actions of an individual. Whether vaccinated or not, he mixed with others when he knew full well he could be a carrier because his wife had contracted covid.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that was the purpose of Dai's post.

Fact is many are walking around either not knowing or knowing they got it.......such is life and we need to get on with it

I think you're probably right again on both accounts aber. There's a need to push through this "fear barrier" and get on with life. That doesn't excuse the reckless behaviour of those who knowingly endanger others.

Don't know if this bloke that infected Dai and his family knew or didn't know he had it, but he must be mind-blowingly stupid to think/assume he wasn't carrying it when his wife was seriously ill with it.

Some may regard the need for self isolation in such circumstances as an infringement of someone's personal rights and that's fair enough. Don't want to get involved in the litigation issues raised by Dai here, just a personal opinion regarding the need for collective responsibility.

I agree and generally the public have been trying hard not to make people ill around the island by following the rules set out by imbeciles who didn't have a clue what to do which resulted in us having one of the highest deaths tolls in the world.

Best to not listen to calculating imbeciles in the pockets of big corporations I say
