"If you were/are invited to a friends/ family meal over Christmas would you ask everyone to take an lft test on the day and ask if they had a booster?. Had to cancel one invite as they won't take an lft. No I wouldn’t ask. It’s none of my business. If I’m asking them to mine they’re a good friend or family so I’d imagine they wouldn’t put me at risk by coming if they had symptoms. We need to get on with life and stop obsessing over it. Where does it end if you start policing your family and friends. The worlds gone mad. ![]() ![]() ![]() | |||

"We won't be going to anyone whose not vaccinated, not because if a risk if Covid but because we are unlikely to be intellectually compatible. We test before visiting or meeting anyone indoors and would appreciate others to do the same but we wouldn't insist." I wouldn't have worded it exactly as you but you are bang on the money! I actually don't know anyone in my circle of friends, family or work colleagues that haven't had the vaccinations or hold a view of anti vaccination. I know some were a little slow on the LFT testing uptake but they are now up to speed. It is only here that I come across a no vaccine, mask, test mindset. | |||

"I see no reason with asking people to test (and would certainly not mind being asked). I'm also relaxed about giving my vacc status, but see why some might not be. For all the "but why test" folk, simply because it's the best way to keep socialising and there are real-life impacts for people getting infected. Currently sat at home with asymptomatic Covid only picked up because I test to go into the office - while I'm fine, others may not be. And beyond illness, for some, self-isolating could mean loss of earnings etc so seems perfectly reasonable to try and avoid that if you can!" I agree with what you say and respect others opinions but don't agree with all of them. | |||

"If they were perfectly healthy why? If they had a cold or were not feeling right then yes, ask them to test. What is this obsession with testing perfectly normal healthy people to see if they are sick? As for asking if they have had their booster, again why? It doesn’t stop them catching or spreading Covid!" This is not how LFT's work. If yo have symptoms a negative test doesn't mean you don't have covid. A negative with no symptoms has a sensitivity of 99% based on the pre test probability. | |||

"I wouldn't be friends with people who required my medical history to have some food and drinks. I don't broadcast my measles or any other vaccine status, I'm not gonna start now with COVID." Totally agree. | |||

"A friend recently went to a family birthday meal and all 16 guests came down with covid, if they had tested ahead of the meal they would have found out one of them had covid. He owns a small business and had to close due to himself, wife and his brother being the workforce. " That literally did not happen. The chances of everyone in a 16 person party getting Covid are incredibly small. The chances of a partner in a couple getting it while actually living with an infected person are just under 50% And in any case there is no guarantee an LFT would have picked it up anyway. Or they could have caught it from someone else at the venue. | |||

I have no reason to not believe my friend but I should have been a little clearer in my explanation, the meal was at a family members house not out at a venue, they were on top of each other all day. It is thought a teenager in the group probably had it and his family put it down to a cold and still turned up not testing! His whole family of 5 tested positive. My friend tested positive first, his wife and brother 2 days later, I assume it was similar for the remaining 8 others staggered but all came down with covid. The LFT would certainly have picked up the teenager. | |||

I went back to my friend as I felt I needed to confirm what he told me.. When he said everyone had come down with it, it wasn't exactly everyone! The family with the teenager, his wife, brother, him, his mother and a cousin. Lesson learnt, don't take everything at face value, good call though ![]() | |||

I asked a question albeit with an angle… I should have made the point more clearly… you won’t be ‘going to anyone’ who is unvaccinated (I can only assume this includes friends and family as this was the OPs question) because you are unlikely to be intellectually compatible? Is vaccination status your measure of intellect? You wouldn’t visit a family member if they were unvaccinated, not because you believed a risk was present but because of your measure of intellect? | |||

"I would be happy to do a lft before meeting others indoors. I would hate to be the person who didn't test and then later learned I'd passed it on. I really do not understand why anyone would have an objection. Checking that you don't have some infectious condition before meeting others is the logical and sensible approach if you care about other people surely? ![]() No I wouldn't, Grany's been around far to long spending my inheritance. ![]() | |||

My 4 children all caught COVID from their mother, as did her partner… so it’s pretty safe to assume that your 50% claim is complete bollocks | |||

"Is vaccination status your measure of intellect?" There is actually a load of evidence for a correlation between educational level, and willingness to have the vaccine. There's an even stronger correlation with wealth - if you earn less than 10k a year there's 15% vaccine hesitancy, while for those earning over 40k it's 5%. So if you're vaccine hesitant you're more likely to be poor and educated to a low level. "Intellect" is a notoriously difficult thing to define. It's up to you whether you think there is any correlation between it and wealth or educational level. | |||

Just because I earn good money doesn’t mean my opinion should be more or less valuable of a person who is less fortunate. Also to mean my opinion is more right or wrong because of my wage bracket You need to do you’re research on this vaccine and looking at the ingredients in it. | |||
