Arguably this is a fundamental part of the problem.
WHY did you feel the need to take 42+ tests for yourself?
That is no different to the morons "stockpiling" toilet paper etc... It is selfish, greedy and shows 0 care or consideration of others... Why did you even take the tests if you're going to be so inconsiderate to prevent others from being able to get any? You clearly don't give a **** about others.
You are literally causing the problem by denying other people of the tests.
It's almost as if socializing in large groups after 2 years of a global pandemic was a really stupid idea, regardless of the regs.

Just happened that the pharmacists gave me kits on collecting my asthma medication and a van outside my work during the free LFTs days giving the kits away.
My dad’s gym sometimes had a table with LFTs by the entrance and got the odd box this way.

I think that's not quite fair. Humans are social creatures. 2 years of life being put on hold was a lot to ask. I'm not suggesting we go crazy and start licking everyone's faces and forget to wash our hands etc, but from the millions of people going back to London and other cities that I've been to in and out of the uk, theres been a palpable joy from people.
I and certainly the broad professional network I'm part of have seriously struggled without being able to go to meetings, interact, meet up or go to events etc.. now I know it's not for everyone, but I'd say a majority proportion do.
If anything large gatherings now are probably safer than they were as most people are vaccinated, are more mindful about washing hands but even if not, oppressing human interaction is not going to ever succeed. It's not purely down to selfish behaviour, it's an innate part of both societal constructs but a core human trait.

Nah, totally worth it! And we're all legends so was at worst a couple days feeling rough.

Just got back from a break at Centerparcs and was fine on the Friday but Saturday night started to feel really hot (37.8) and so this morning I did a LFT and i’m positive.
My wife was positive two weeks up to when we went away and I was ok so must have got it from around the pool area I suspect.

Nope, a few tower fans. Paracetamol seems to be doing the trick at the moment, cold flannels also bring my temp back down. Starting to feel wheezy chested today.

Airconditioning is a major contributor to global warming and climate change. In addition it will hit you in the pocket.
The UK is in a temperate zone and does not need Airconditioning except for a few days a year

Could have fooled me. Iceland is what I'd consider nice temperatures, anything above 20c outside kills me.
Man of Honour
Please don't take this the wrong way, but do you have a medical condition or something? 20c is mild and agreeable for most people.

I find it horribly warm too. 14 is a nice comfortable temperature. 16 is shorts and t-shirt time. 18 is getting uncomfortable.
Then again I am blonde, fair skinned and have blue eyes so you can probably guess where my ancestors came from and it ain't Malawi!
Man of Honour
Ah you're an alien?
Fair enough I just find it quite surprising as the UK has had 20C+ regularly for centuries no doubt.
A bit off topic though apologies. On topic to a certain degree I guess air treatment in buildings is going to be something to consider in the future to ensure proper filtration etc.
Soldato
What about tropical countries that see these kinds of temperatures every day of the year and rely on air-conditioning?
Soldato
I do not, I just live in the north of Scotland and start to get annoyed at high temperatures. Bear in mind that 20c outside generally means quite a bit higher inside. I'm generally okay up to 25c and then past that I'm dead.
Man of Honour
Ah. That makes sense. Quite a shock for your part of the world especially if you've never acclimatised to warmer climates. Fair enough!
Hope you're not too badly affected and able to get through it ok.
